We began our apartment hunt in Guadalajara with a bang! The housing stock here is fantastic as well as the people who have helped us along the way. Thank you to all of our subscribers who have helped us along the way. We have been very busy these past few weeks viewing homes and placing offers and we are on the cusp of signing a contract soon God willing. Here are some of the homes we viewed and the lessons we learned along the way.

I love how you guys separately jot down what characteristics you want in a home and then compile one list incorporating things you both want as your final "draft" per say. You do not see a lot if couples doing this when deciding on things . You can see the respect and love you have towards each other . I just ❤❤❤ your guys energy and watching you guys enjoying your life to the fullest !
To make it work compromise is the word...but honestly we both want the same thing...to see eachother happy. Thanks for catching and speaking to that...not too many people will.🤗
I hope you guys find what you’re looking for. I tried Guadalajara but it felt like I was in Miami (I love Miami) but, in Mexico I wanted more Mexican charm. I ended up in Ajijic in a house for 2 years. A yard with grass and trees in that climate. A dream experience. Our neighbor behind us was a horse, that was used to keep a vacant lot mowed.
That sounds sublime and I am sure we will land someplace nice. We both have been craving a city scene.
You guys are the cutest couple😍🥰 good luck on your new journey
Thank you!!!!!
Hey you guys you'll looking good and pretty damn happy to be in Guadalajara. I'm loving the tour and I'm sure you'll find something you'll really like. Positive vibes and success for you in the apartment search.
Thank you; we welcome all the positive vibes and success. We look forward to finding our temporary 'home' here soon!
Yes they have positive vives, he's seems more spacy and she calm. What a perfect combination !
Those apartments are beautiful in Guadalajara. Thanks for showing us them.
Beautiful couple i really enjoy seeing you together.
How cool is that! We really enjoy being together ❤ lol. Thank you!
you have that "spark" about living, and living well, welcome to Mexico
The master bed and bath in 2nd spot is so awesome!!! Oh my. If they had the washer and dryer that would be everything!!!
You can look for a place near "Parque Metropolitano" or near "Bosque Colomos" you will love it because you can walk and go to many places
Thank you! We are narrowing down our search now....!
Near Colomos is not very walkable, lots of hills! (source: I studied just beside Colomos), It is also super expensive
@@TheYarbros @18000 pesos=~$860 US...Yikes, I assume this means your rent fluctuates based on exchange rates. And, can you rent in Merida or Guadalajara, month to month? We're considering just a couple months...do you believe its possible?
@@lottiefields6085 Yes, its possible -see airbnb sublet they have plenty of apts...we just left one that we stayed in while shopping for a lease. Also, 18000 Pesos is steep we were just looking around and negotiating our ceiling was 16000. Looking for a sweet spot of 14-15000....and we found one!
welcome guys to my beautiful Guadalajara!!!
We’re neighbors now! I’m from Colima (state next to Jalisco), saludos 😊
Hey neighbor!
Thanks for sharing! We love your adventures!
Thanks! So informative! I'm looking to make the move myself, so I appreciate the content. ♥️
Wow love the tour,you two have a friendly charm in your voice which makes every video so beautiful to watch!!!
Almost spit my water out when I saw the fridge 😂
Right! I couldn't understand.
Oh wow! I saw earlier you had new video but when press it was the one from 6 days ago! Took a break, clean my kitchen, lol, and came on voila, new video! So happy, love you both!
Thank you for riding with us through this crazy world!!!
Love you guys!
🥰
Bro i have watched this video several times. One cuz I'm coming to Guadalajara soon but mostly your walk up that hill was SO FUNNY! Harriett Tudman would have been so proud. And, yes Apryl was down for it. Love you guys!
I watched this video twice and really like it... so extra love for putting this together. The 2b2b, was very nice, lots of space. I prefer seeing more of nature but I live in NY SO WILL NEVER COMPLAIN of WHAT is outside your window. I'm sure nighttime/ dusk has some crazy sunsets and moon light.
The the 1 bedroom i love...I just love the natural light, the Lay out. It looks spacious and comfy.
Walkability i like. Accessibility is important...
Fantastic job. Thanks for all you do. I can't wait to spend some time in Mexico.
We have a couple of others we are actively negotiating for now....its exciting, and nerve-racking at the same time. But that 2b2b high rise.....
@@TheYarbros you know what you want and I'm sure you will get it. You are really awesome, earthy ppl... and we are all learning from you... just know that!
Excellent apartment tour video! All the info you gave is key to figuring out how to make a choice.
Thank you 😊
Love you guys!! im from Texas and seriously considering moving to Mexico to save on money as well. Hopefully everything goes good for me as well. Cant wait to see more videos from you both. Love the content!!
Thanks for the love! The lower cost of living definitely helps increase quality of life. Good luck with your decision. We're rooting for you!
You guys are about to make me follow you from Mazatlán 😍😍😍
I'm sure it would be hard to leave that oasis.
Why do you want to leave Mazatlan? I'm going there next month.
I have really enjoyed your videos. Beautiful couple.
Can't wait to show you more after we settle in.
Restroom is lovely!
You two look great! Loving the apartment tours. Guadalajara looks interesting. Hope all goes well with your apartment selection. Can’t wait to see which apartment you chose.
Thank you! We'll be posting it soon.
Looking great! The apartments and Zapopan is looking lovely. My Sam's card is ready! 🤣🤣🤣
We were #teamcostco but if Zapopan pans out we'll make the switch.
No worries. I have both by default. Which ever is the closest is the winner!
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
Just started watching your videos, great positive attitude and excellent practical suggestions for what to look for. We plan on moving abroad and your videos are a great research tool.
Wow thank you! That's exactly what we aspire to do. Glad you're enjoying the vids!
What about this: czcams.com/video/6-jieE2GOyo/video.html
Oh my!! That kitchen on place number 2😍😍😍😍😍😍
Right?! I love that place....but not for their asking price. Hope they accept our offer..............
U guys are soo fire! Lovin the vibe! Your wife reminds me of one of my fav Nollywood stars: Chioma Chukwuka...look her up...
I will. Glad you like the vibe! Thanks for checking out our channel!
Awesome! please show more . Thanks for sharing
We will! 😁
Beautiful couple you guys are 💯
You guys are awesome! Welcome to my hometown.
Your hometown is awesome! Thank you for hosting us!
Guadalajara is a nice little weekend escape, I was just there last weekend 😁
Great options....good luck on choosing your new apartment!
Thank you we are very hopeful that we'll find something before our Airbnb time is up.
Thank you guys, I want something around Providencia, your videos are super helpful!
Really glad they're helpful. Providencia is pretty nice!
Greetings from Yucatan
Que tal!
Very awesome video guys!
Hey!!! Thank you!
beautiul looking people and a beautiful looking city!!
It is a wonderful place!.
Love you guys
I really like this couple..!
🤗
Haha good exercise going up that mountain! 😀 The beast!
Jajajaja! You just don't know we were winded beyond belief!
@@TheYarbros I’m not surprised. Even if you’re in shape, you’re at a much higher elevation than you’re used to.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Man you guys are awesome God bless you guys
Thanks for the compliment and for watching! -You are awesome!!!
I used to live in Guadalajara, in Chapalita, I love the city but Chapalita is really good, you have everything there close by, they have really big houses and apartments to rent. 💜
Thank you!
Lovely apartments 😍
Awesome video
Thanks!
I like that safety is number 1 on your list. I was looking back in your videos to see whether you have one on the neighborhoods or cities that are safe to move to. I think that would be intersting to touch on if you haven't already done so.
Coming soon to a channel near you lol. We are working on it!
NICE APARTMENT.
Hey, thanks for sharing! 💜
No problem 😊 Thanks for watching!
you should check in Colonia Americana, is the most gorgeous neighbourhood so walkable, so vintage and a lot of apartments ;)
The best one apt 2 tall long shot....go get that ...great content
Thanks!
What was the name of the complex?
Great information!
Glad you think so!
You guys are me and wife’s FAVORITE! I lOVE seeing black people livin their best lives. Btw... Good Job, Rondell! April is effin gorgeous. She looks like a Black/Native American Queen! Y’all doin’ the salt and pepper hair thang! Thass Wussup! I see you! Keep the vids rockin! My wife is from Jalisco too. We plan on kickin American rocks pretty soon. Mexico is looking better and better for reasons you already know I’m sure. Anyway... y’all stay up over there and stay safe! God bless your family and I wish you both all the success and happiness in the world on your travels! Love, Peace and Hair Grease my brotha and sista!
The first one was my favorite!
If we had a car it'd be PERFECT!
FYI, "sah-PO-pahn." An ETN bus driver corrected me pretty firmly once, so I can't forget. Makes sense, cuz that's the standard pronunciation when there aren't any diacritical marks.
Nice channel.
Thanks for the lesson and for checking out our little corner of CZcams!
LOVE y'all videos as ALWAYS 😀!! All the apartments are nice, but that last one I see being able to make it your own and the big windows are lovely. You both will definitely find something that's will fit perfect 🙂. The first one had the grill... LOL 😂 Difficult decisions!!
Ikr that grill was calling out to me! 😆 Apt. hunting is nerve-racking but fun we will definitely find the right one! We felt that last one too...just needs a little personalisation. Thanks for your input!
@@TheYarbros No problem 👍 Stay safe, healthy and most importantly blessed!! Mark looking forward to speaking up the grill since the rain finally gave way. LOL 🤣😆 I'm looking forward to seeing y'all again soon. Till than prayers up for the both of you.
@@shakeraabbington7162 we'll take all of that! We seriously held y'all down in prayer too. I am glad my guy is about to put that grill to work. Until we can break bread y'all stay safe and blessed as well my fellow adventurers! ✌🏾❤
@@TheYarbros Can't wait to see ya again and thank you!!😊🙏💖
Really 💘 this couple
This couple 💘 the love! Thank you!
@@TheYarbros welcome
Check Chapalita neighborhood. House apartments, near plaza Del sol.
Thanks for the heads up!
2 Wimpy
The place in Valle Real is very near me. I’ve lived there for 2 years, great area, safe and really developing into a prime location. Besides Popeyes and Applebees, you will be walking distance to Lupe’s BBQ and a new Denny’s. They have almost completed construction on the roadways that tie into the Periferico. No Mibici stations anywhere nearby though. A car would really be a great help, you would be very close to Plaza Andares (Swank mall with tons of very nice restaurants)......Costco and Plaza Gallerias (with Hooters and Cheesecake Factory)are 10-15 minutes by car.
I ❤ your show.
I love that... "The Nomadic Wander Show"! Really glad you're enjoying it!
You are scouting the city better than I did with my wife to rent a department and I'm a local daaaamn! 😅
If you need anything feel free to DM me, my wife is American and we live in Tlaquepaque.
lol we've had a little practice plus it helps us get to know different parts of the city! And thanks for the offer!
All the apartments were great! The only downfall for me is the 1 bed Zapopan place, but the outdoor space made up for it (a dealbreaker on my list ✔). I'm biased because I already know I want to live there, but maybe I would chose that one for the lifestyle the city offers 🤷♀️
Good luck! 😊 Can't wait to see what you went with.
Yeah, we can wait to figure it out either 😆. Thanks for chiming in that one bdrm is a little iffy for us too. We liked it there may be too many compromises for the view though 🤷🏾♀️
@@TheYarbros I hear you, you gotta go with what suits your day to day. (Don't you just love finding a place that's _almost_ perfect but that 1 most important thing is off? 😆) Tough process, but I bet it's exiting! 😊
Digging y'all's videos. We are expats in Mazatlan. Like to watch expat videos in cities we don't live in. Thanks for the entertainment
Great compliment from some fellow expats! What up! Glad you like the vibe!
12:24 If you haven't already check out the Andares Centro mall area huge Walmart and Popeyes at the food court.
Yes! Ik its pitiful but one of the first things we checkout are the malls and Guadalajara knows how to do shopping malls!
Damn..the coolest couple in guadalajara.you very welcome
Thanks!
😍Wow This Is Sweet 💞 I'm Looking To Relocate This Year...This Spot Would Be Great For Me...I Like All The Videos U Have...Great Spots In Mexico...I Will Be Contacting U Before I Come To Mexico..Thank U Much Love 💓 and Blessings 💞
Thanks for the compliment and for watching. Best wishes w/ the Big Move too! We hope our content helps you with the transition! -Blessings
You two are making me miss Guadalajara and Mexico in general! I may have to visit again very soon Even come visit you. : ) Question how's the C-19 there?
Its crazy here too. Everyone's wearing their mask 😷 and doing the best that they can to stay safe!

6:43 THIS!
Yeah, that's the longshot we are hoping for. #Jesusplease 🙏🏾🙂
Just FYI, you can buy an apartment or house in GDL and own it out right since it is not close to the ocean or international border
can you do a day in the life ? like work schedule and exploring the town
Another great vlog. Can you talk about the electric cost when u were living in Merida? with the DAC rates n how you averaged in electric bill? Was this a consideration in searching your new dig? Thanks in advance
Here the a/c is not a consideration because of the temperate climate. But in Mérida our electric was only $60 USD and we ran one all day everyday. It is important to choose a home that has a new(er) a/c the old ones suck energy and run your bill #allthewayup
Oh I like to see you guys, you guys look so nice toguether, will love be some day soon in Mx.
We are planing to build in Merida, will be nice keep contact and you guys visist us.
Thank you and good luck with your build in Merida!
Apt#1
Hiking is an option, not a requirement to get home. Next!
Apt#2
Feeling like Family. Before you got to putting in an offer, I'd already predicted an offer of 15,000 & buy your own washer & dryer, the agreement to leave them behind sweetens the deal. I love the apartment & its light fixtures.
Apt#3
I'd guessed that you'd offer $15,000 but a private washer & dryer is attractive. Was that a fridge or a watercooler? You will be at Popeye's more often if cold food storage space negates.😂 Yes a freezer is a good look. That kitchen is great for a caterer, Baker or event planner. One of you can set up your classroom there. Best of Luck.
You made pretty good predictions! We like Apt 2 the most and are working on our negotiation skills. Apt 3 tiny fridge was strange lol but we liked the views. The kitchen could definitely fit a classroom! I think if we'd stay there, we'd find any excuse to spend money at Popeyes and the other surrounding stores and restaurants everyday.
@@TheYarbros Tiny apartment fridges take some getting used to, but they have advantages we normally wouldn’t think of. Less food waste, buying fresh locally more often, rather than major monthly or weekly trips to Costco or big chain supermarkets. A nice thing about buying at your local neighborhood tienda (bodega/abarrotes/whatever-you-call-them) is you’re going to start getting to know your neighbors.
You all are pretty experienced travels, so I’m sure you’ve made adjustments to meet limitations, and found unexpected benefits.
If you really want walkability I wouldn't think of the outskirts but between Minerva and the Parque Rojo.
No doubt, the view is GREAT. And the crib...you can't get ANYTHING like that in NYC unless you are a millionaire. You have to be a millionaire! What's that big green area you can see from the balcony? A local park? I wish they were that peaceful in NY. Anyway, greetings from the 'Big Apple'. Mario. New York.
"Act like you been here" 😆😆
Man that climb up the mountain will kill you. But that first apt is so beautiful
👍
Love the videos! Not sure if you do but can you do a video on how to obtain residency!
Thanks for the love! We don't have personal experience with residency but if we go that route we'll definitely share what we learn.
@Kja Daboss Backpacking Brunette has a concise video about obtaining a temporary residency which is valid for several years and would allow you to bring an automobile. czcams.com/video/CWO5BXe_D-k/video.html
Hey guys I live next to the last apartment !
That was a surprisingly nice area. We really liked it!
Great video both! Thanks for sharing. Quick question, what website or method did you use to locate your apartments for rent? I am looking to move to Mexico over the next few months and am struggling in trying to figure out the best website or method for finding good quality rentals. Thank you 🙏🏽
In this video we describe one of our methods and give some of the websites we us. The info is in the description. czcams.com/video/qB1ZZU6LkAg/video.html
I like your videos guys, I’m from Gdl, if you guys want I can give you a tour in the neighborhoods where most apartments are so you can narrow down the search even more. What better than exploring with a local. It’d be my pleasure. Let me know.
Sounds great but we just signed our lease! Really excited to have found the right one for us. We'll be posting about it soon!
@@TheYarbros That’s exciting and great news! Congrats!!
We have lived in several Guadalajara neighborhoods for short (~1 month) stretches. If you liked Chapalita, and can afford these apartments, then I strongly recommend that you check out Providencia. Why live in the outskirts when you can be in a vibrant neighborhood!? I have never felt that security was a significant issue in Guadalajara, although it makes sense that in a larger apartment building your extended absence will not be as likely to be noticed by petty thieves.
We looked around in Providencia and their priced chased us out of there 🤣🤣. We really like the neighborhood though.
This reminds of the novelas. When the rich ppl have luxurious apts.
If only we were rich....ahh lol. Thanks for commenting.
search for a apartment in Providencia you may get something for around 10k and the neighbourhood is great
I like that price BUT we're also looking for furnished, which ups the price a bit in some areas. We'll keep looking!
Do you usually need an Aval or Fiador? Which internet service would you recommend for working from home in Guadalajara? Would it be best to go to a coworking space if they open? Also, you might like this new interactive map of delitos as well as trend lines. You can look at smaller regions of a state for learning which pueblos to avoid delitosmexico.onc.org.mx/
@@StoneyVintson hi I also live in Gdl I have Izzy TV internet ...I find it works pretty good ... I just rented a 1 bedroom home 🏡 for 6000 pesos in Las Fuentes unfurnished though
try col americana
Cool neighborhood but it was busy over there. We like city life don't want to live in the thick of it all. Thanks for chiming in. We really appreciate it!
The 2br didn't have outdoor space. Too bad. But the second neighborhood has a POPEYE'S?!!!!!
Right that is weighing like 30% of my vote lols
@@TheYarbros there is a Popeyes in Galeria Tlaquepaque
What can’t believe they have Popeyes now. KFC used to rule. I love Popeyes
@@JJ-iy7rk unfortunately the red beans and rice is not the same as it is in the USA
Hope you find a place with outside space. The weather there is so nice it would be ashame not to be able to sit outside.
I agree I would hate not having a place to grill but...the high rise 2:2 has me thinking about it....
@@TheYarbros keep looking, you will find the right one!
I am headed to Merida.can you suggest sections for good airbnb s.Is booking outside the center 18 min out safer?
Rondell & April, awesome content. I like the new presentation method you used on here, . The part were you each lean in/forward. My wife Alicia and I consumed all your Merida content and are following you to Guadal -A- HaRRA ...🤠. Guadalajara. From the arabic وادي الحجارة (wādī al-ḥajārah), “valley of stones”, 60% spanish is Arabic from the Moors(Moros ) or as the word now used in Mx “morros” = young or new kids/new jacks. The Afrkhan Moors ruled & civilized Spain & Southern Italy for 800 yrs. Anyway, can’t wait to see where you end up. I am Mexican and I am working on the virtualmoney.ws cash stream so we can also be “Nomadic Wonderes”.
Thanks for the history touch-up and for opening the realm of Spanish etymology. I (Rondel) dig into that kind of knowledge . Regarding the "lean-in" during the video. We are trying to connect w/ our audience and trying to keep it interesting. I'm really glad you liked it. Thanks for following our adventures and best of luck with you and your wife's adventerous lives!
Great videos. Would prefer prices in USD else have to find date and xrate for that day. Do others really prefer to do those lookups?
That makes sense. Its 21.31 MXN ,for 1 USD today. We will start including the US equivalent in the videos.. Thanks for getting at us and for watching the vids!
For quick calculating in my head, I round down to 20 pesos to the dollar. Move the decimal point one place to the left after halving the figure. It’s been hovering above 20 for a few years now, although it was at or almost at 25 to one for a while. That was nice.
Ok wait... am I lookin at an electronic drum set next to the couch!? Did you not see that or did you just decide to omit that from the review? As a drummer, I'm flabbergasted. If that's not a e-drum kit, what the heck is it?
Yes, it was a drum kit.
@@TheYarbros Wow! That's my spot! Great views too. Thanks for droppin the facts yall. We need those USD conversions though. Stay blessed
Hello👋👋
🖖🏾👋🏾
Where is the second apartment located? I like a lot.
Really glad you liked it. Its one of our favorites so far. It is in the colonia of Ciudad del Sol.
Tlaquepaque is aittle dangerous.. But I'm sure there's good parts
Yeah, certain parts are. We passed on a couple of nice apartments there because of the security issues.
Great video. Wish you would add if these places require cleaning fee, deposit, all that stuff and is it like here in the Philippines; Deposits most of the time 2-3 months and if you have money you move in. No paperwork and credit and all that stuff. Money means you moving. Thanks.
Doing a whole video about the process here and we've already started shooting it. Cash is king but with some strings.... and maybe a credit check depending on the landlord. There is some surety that is standard here that take three different forms. Too much to write. Dropping a video in a couple of days telling you all about the process...well as much as we know about it.
@@TheYarbros Cool. Looking forward to it.
Where do you find this type of aparments ?they're so cool
We locate the neighborhoods we are interested in and google "furnished apt. desired colonia" ..in Spanish and then start calling and emailing the realtors we get in touch with. When we view the home we walk the neighborhood (if we like it) and locate any "homes for rent" signs we can find....
@@TheYarbros thank you so much ,this helped me do much :)
I’m visiting there in a week from the US! I’m a little nervous - do you feel relatively safe walking around ?
Yes, we do feel safe. There were a couple of areas that we didn't feel safe but it was obvious that we should not have been there (massive graffiti everywhere, half torn down buildings and a bunch of hardened looking dudes w/ homemade tats...). Remember not to walk down dark alleys at night (use common sense) and you will be fine.
@@TheYarbros thanks so much for the reply! Will definitely practice my common sense haha!
