The
Boom In Mexico Real Estate And How To Cash In - The good news for
investors and Foreigners is you can own property in Mexico, free and clear,
easily and forever. Or buy low and sell high. Having lived here for 6 years,
I am amazed at the changes and modern times that seem to have flooded into
this area - small fishing villages now evolving into modern cities with
American-style life and mega shopping centers. 06-Aug-07

 Retiring
in Baja - Baja California Sur - The East Cape-Vinorama ~ By Joan
Hafenecker - The town is abundant with romantic courtyard restaurants with
growing vines and blowing fans to add to the tropical ambience. We liked
San Jose del Cabo enough that we drove up each day, each time venturing
in a different direction to get a sense of it. I began browsing the
Real Estate listings immediately. My mind reeling with ideas, I returned
home, realizing my life had changed and there was no turning back. - You
might want to think about retiring to Vinorama, Mexico. The beaches are
beautiful, there are whales at sea and the dollar goes a long way. If you
are interested in developing land for building then Vinorama may be the
place for you in Mexico. Jan/03 |

 Paradise
Found? - The Expatriate Scene In Xcalak, Mexico - We sat around
a table under a palapa with Darrell, his fishing guide, Mike from Minnesota,
and Stephen, an American expatriate from Sweden, who vacations here once
a year for “the quiet and solitude.” Miguel popped open five Sols behind
the open-air bar. I looked around and thought, “Is this real?” - The cerulean
Caribbean lapped at the scalloped edges of a bleached-white beach,
dotted with inward leaning palm trees, and best of all, no people. There
in the middle of paradise, the hours ambled by. Stories were told. Palm
fronds crackled in the breeze, pelicans landed on the pier and took
off again, and the smell of the hamburgers Miguel was grilling filled the
air. |

Progreso
~ Yucatan: One Couple Finds Paradise Living In Mexico - We found
out that Progreso was THE place to spend summer vacations for the wealthy
of Merida and Mexico City before Hurricane Gilbert 13 years before.
There were many grand old houses along the malecon that just needed some
TLC to breathe life into them. The beaches were pleasant, as were
the onshore breezes in the afternoon. The people were a delight.
During that brief stay we found cheap flights advertised between Merida
and Mexico City, only 4.0 hrs. From SMA and we began to think we could
make this work for a vacation home. Nov./02 |

 Renovating
A Home In Mexico ~ Expats In Mexico ~ by Sandy Caputo - So you
think you’d like to own a home in your newly adopted Mexico. You’ve

your climate, cultural, cost-of-living and required services criteria.
Now you’re faced with another major decision: build or renovate? Jan/05. |

A Home In Morelia, Mexico - The Krondorfer’s Experience ~ by Sandy
Caputo - Karin and Werner Krondorfer could fit a beautiful people profile.
Their 40-year-plus marriage has seen them making their lives in Europe,
the United States and Mexico. They regularly travel to Chicago, Pittsburgh
and Stuttgart to keep-up with the hectic lives of their three grown sons,
spouses and four grandchildren. Return visits have them showing guests
the special sights and tastes of Mexico that convinced them to choose it
for their retirement. Mar/05 |

Life
In Mexico - Living In Mexico - Moving To A New Sense ~ by Jan Morgan
- For two years now, my husband, Fred, and I, have lived in Mexico. It
has been such an interesting time…I can’t remember any other short span
in my life which offered such diversity, wonder, and sense of peace as
these last years have. May/05

 Building
a Straw Bale House in the Baja - I got started with a foundation
and storage building three months on my 80x80 lot after flopping trying
to do the same project in the USA. The lot in Mexico cost $1800 with
septic in, the foundation was $1500, the storage building about $500.
There the project stood for three years while I tried to jump start my
life again. After I remarried I put $6000 together and that was enough
to hire a local Mexican contractor to raise walls, stucco the inside and
outside, and instlall window and door frames. I was less than $10,000 into
the project and was at roof level |

 Some
Thoughts On Real Estate And Energy ~ On Living In Mexico ~ by Jurgen
Klemann - It’s no exaggeration to claim that I’m a truly international
citizen. I’m German. But I live in Mexico after living in the United States,
South Africa and New Zealand. My stints in the United States and South
Africa were rather short term oriented. Since then my stints seem to be
rather long term oriented. When you get a little older and perhaps even
more mature, your life stabilizes. There’s now another hint about that
stabilization thing. I’m getting increasingly interested in real estate.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m about to buy real estate. Oct./05 |

 Living
And Teaching In Colima, Mexico ~ A Place To Rest ~ By Jurgen Klemann

up where the last ended and lets you know what it's like to to spend time

 Living
in Mexico: Lord of the Flies? - I've been wracking my small and
insignificant brain lately trying to come up with a way of describing the
colonies American gringos start in the Mexican towns in which they congregate.
Mind you, I am operating under a tremendous bias lately and if I seem a
bit hyperbolic, you will have to forgive me. I am thinking that perhaps
I've had one too many threats and the fire, my Lord the fire, was what
really has set me on edge about the whole thing. 09-Oct-07 |
