Of course if you were foolish enough to put your entire life savings in peso accounts, a major devaluation in the peso could be disastrous. If a similar amount is invested in dollars or euros, changes in the exchange rate in either direction will be offset.

It is a simple fact that an apartment building comes with ongoing maintenance and marketing expenses (to say nothing of headaches). Empty units don't generate revenue; buildings that aren't maintained aren't going to stay occupied, and if you need the money for something else it could take years to sell.
Go for it. Do whatever ytou think is good for you and yours.
Good luck
