Real Estate in Los Cabos: State of the Real Estate Market

Hi Everyone,

I am sure that many of you that have been living here in Mexico for quite some time now have come across that 1 Dr that just left you in awwww. The one Dr that you want everyone to come see in Mexico, to help others. If you could please share your experience and Dr's information with me I would really appreciate it. I'm tired of these Medical Tourism websites that continue to refer Patients to.. Not only Dr's they don't know but countries they have never even…

A friend of mine is selling a really gorgeous adobe home, very near Pátzcuaro.

It is off the grid in a peaceful and rural location.

Hi

We are Canadians and when we left here in Feb. 2010 we made sure everything was in place for our renewal in May 2010 with a notary here in town. Then they changed the laws and we could come back to San Felipe from Canada or could be get all the new paperwork and bank deposit made within the time limit. We are now hoping to appeal to the Mexican government about our situation. Has anyone else had problems. You can email me direct at: diamondranch@hotmail.com if you prefer. The fine…

suggested Ensenada, Mexico. On occasion we had driven from our home in Tucson to Nogales, Sonora but that was a border town and not the Real Mexico. Of course Nogales had its charm and the restaurants and shops, the Oaxacan children selling Chiclets and so on but that wasn’t enough. We took our friends suggestion that we should vacation in Ensenada and the adventure began. When we crossed the border into Mexico from Chula Vista, CA, that’s when the love affair…

“On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me….”

This beloved traditional holiday song is the inspiration for a seasonal blog series, “12 Days/12 Ways”, an effort to draw attention to 12 worthy not for profit groups in Playa del Carmen and along the Riviera Maya and address their particular needs during this holiday season.

Each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas,…

I got an email from George asking for someone who knows what is what to post about 'violence' in Reynosa (on the Texas border near McAllen, where I live). Apparently some woman wrote hime who claimed to live there and said it 'was as bad as Cd. Juarez' and that '200 people had been killed by the cartel' in one night. Complete and utter nonsense.

I get so angry with people who spread these malicous lies. All they are doing is killing the livlihood of the good people who try to…

Living in Los Cabos: How Much Does Gas Cost

I keep being asked “How much is gas in Cabo?”. Frankly I don’t care. But here’s your answer.

First, let’s address that answer which is totally unlike me. I’m not that callous. But the deal with gas is that it’s a government monopoly and the price…

Why not advertise to people that have never heard or seen what you have to offer..........??

Most of us in Mexico get annoyed at the overdone media “bad news” we hear about “Mexico” –

the country, when most of it pertains to isolated or specific areas of the country. Yes, Ciudad Juarez, at the border, in Chihuahua, is a very troubled area with rampant drug related crime. We never suggest Americans or Canadians visit or cross the border there.

However, look at the attached map; there are many green and yellow areas of the country of…

Living in Los Cabos: Affordable Homes

No, affordable Los Cabos homes is not an oxymoron. Although we are best known for over-the-top Über-posh resorts there is actually quite a bit of affordable housing here and it’s amazing what your dollar or loony can buy this year. I was reminded of this earlier…
