How would you do RE while being a "digital nomad"?

Half for fun / half serious question. Over the past 3 years I've spent a month or so per trip visiting my family members in Mexico City and other surrounding states. I have more than once seriously considered living there for extended periods of time, but being a broker in my local market makes me wonder if that's possible, since I'd lose touch / relevancy & relationships with the local players and owners.

I really enjoy my career, I'm just not sure I want to be tied to where I'm at. I feel like I'm wearing shiny handcuffs (not golden cause I'm not killing it either).

If you wanted to become location independent whilst still working in R.E. how would you do it?

I know a few CRE tenant rep brokers who started their business in major cities on one coast and established large corporate accounts where they were doing deals that were not tied to just their one city. They ended up moving to other low cost cities to raise families and fly back every couple weeks for a few days for meetings/tours.

They made it work, sure you could too from MX.
