Yes an honest and informed real estate agent is so important . Sorry but my dealings with Nicks "people" haven't lead me to feel that way about his company. However it's only my opinion and it CAN be changed. IF Nick cares to do so . Keep up the good work Mr B W.
@@davebaker489 Hola Dave! I´m sorry to hear you've had a not-so-good experience with Ronival. It looks like you are working with Jesus Garcia from our customer service team and have still not been assigned to an agent, I've noted Jesus to please follow up with you. Best regards.
Prices are definitely much higher than they were a few years ago. But you need to compare to similar places in the US. Can't compare prices between Cabo and Kansas. More like Cabo vs San Diego.
Thanks Brighton. I've already heard from them. They say there is nothing available under 1/2 a mill. That's not what my computer search shows. We think we'll stay with a local La Paz co. and look in the Centenario area and enjoy happy hr (next year).
That's weird. Jesus showed me many places that were under $500K. Including places that are being developed by Ronival. They are included in this video. La Paz is a better location anyway - better happy hours at least ;-)
@@davebaker489 Hey Zus - exactly. FYI - a nickname for guys named Jesus is Chuy (pronounced Chewy) but is usually reserved for friends and family. If you're looking in La Paz, I would recommend Baja Life Realty. They specialize in El Centenario, but they have an agent in downtown too now.
Hello Brighton! Thank you to you and Jesús for sharing your knowledge of the Cabo area! Those look to be some great properties, and a really nice area. I have only been down there twice; for the baja races. From what I recall, it seemed the waves were fairly crashing and it wasn't that great of a beach area. Is that fairly common there, or could it have just been the weather pattern at the time?
I am looking into retiring in MX. I want a condo in La Paz or somewhere similar in Baja. In your opinion specifically in Baja… what area have big hospitals? I would like to live near a hospital and not just a small clinic.
La Paz has the best hospitals in Baja California Sur. All the other cities send folks to La Paz if they have serious issues. I'm not sure about Baja California (north.) I'm guessing Tijuana has the best up there.
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico How awesome! I think La Paz will fit my needs perfectly! Thank you so much! I found your channel recently and love all of your videos!
I think it's pretty much standard procedure now but if you're buying something that isn't finished, there should be substantial money that you don't have to pay until they've finished. You'd think it would be common sense not to do this but there have been people who'll pay the majority of money at the beginning. I've had a great experience with my builder and they just set up payment this way without asking for a ton up front. These guys were brand new to running their own business and really wanted to get a good reputation going forward so they've really gone the extra mile for me. You can't count on that obviously so it's ordinarily going to be smarter to go with someone with a solid reputation. There's nothing inherent about being a builder that's really going to make them less trustworthy than a real estate agent. In Mexico, they'll typically speak less English than agents and that's why they're often perceived with more distrust.
Thanks - definitely want to only front so much money - and get a good deal as you are financing the project. I think the key to having a real estate agent is that you have someone "on your side" that knows the local customs / market / etc. Ideally your agent has your best interest at heart, versus the seller who has their best interest at heart. Glad your place worked out with a new builder!
You can reach out to Jesus for a more definitive answer, but it seems like owners have access to the resort amenities like golf, pool, spa, restaurants, dry cleaning... www.pueblobonito.com/resorts/los-cabos/cabo-san-lucas-hotel-suites/all-inclusive-resort-amenities
Yes - you just need a bank trust. They are extremely common. All of the Baja California peninsula requires them. They are called Fideicomisos and cost about $500 annually. You can also set up a corporation - but that's not typical unless you own more than one home down here (because you need one Fideicomiso per house, but one corporation can own unlimited houses.) I need to do a video about them! Thanks for your question.
Trusting builders in any country is a big risk. Thank you for the video 🎈
Very true!
Thank you for the variety. Gave nice context.
Glad you enjoyed it LJ!

The man is wearing braces LOL.
I think it's relatively common to get braces as an adult in Mexico. Many folks can't afford it until they have a professional income.
Thanks Dave - I'll make sure that Jesus reads these comments!
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico Yes I think he's the 1 I've been dealing with. Thanks. And I do not care if he wears braces.

Cabo is the San Francisco of Baja California Sur! And soooo AMERICAN!
Very American. But I think of Cabo as more the Orange County of BCS. ;-)
Nice video. But I’m seeing American prices somewhere one used to be able to move to for less….

@@AlmostRetiredinMexico Already chatting with them about La Paz. It seems Jesus (Hey Zus?) was born and raised there. Thanks man.

@@AlmostRetiredinMexico Will do for sure. Hate missing out on happy hour.😁

I think the beaches in Cabo aren’t very swimmable. Better for surfing. The beaches near La Paz are the opposite.
is the same price of a 🏠 in NM.
In New Mexico overlooking the beautiful deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean?

hi thanx for video. In regards to the quivira area. What pueblo bonita amenities are you referring to?
You can reach out to Jesus for a more definitive answer, but it seems like owners have access to the resort amenities like golf, pool, spa, restaurants, dry cleaning... www.pueblobonito.com/resorts/los-cabos/cabo-san-lucas-hotel-suites/all-inclusive-resort-amenities
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico thanx will do. keep the vidoes coming cheers
Wow. Now I KNOW Cabo would never be on my list. California w/out the employment offerings, yuk.
Too expensive for me
Yeah - it’s pricey!
🥂🥂🥂🏖
Can US Citizens legally buy near the coast in Mexico???
Yes - you just need a bank trust. They are extremely common. All of the Baja California peninsula requires them. They are called Fideicomisos and cost about $500 annually. You can also set up a corporation - but that's not typical unless you own more than one home down here (because you need one Fideicomiso per house, but one corporation can own unlimited houses.) I need to do a video about them! Thanks for your question.
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico what about if you form a mexican corporation as a US citizen?
Sorry, i didnt read your whole paragraph😊
