Select Mexico Properties

A luxury home in Mexico can provide more than just a comfortable place to sleep. When you plan your retirement with your spouse, you assume that you’ll have time to do what you’ve always wanted to do. You can travel, relax and live a comfortable life.

Initially, this may be true. But the fortunes you find in retirement come with misfortunes, too. Prolonged illness or a series of illnesses and injuries can limit your ability to follow through on all of your retirement plans. You may end up taking care of your spouse, or vice versa. In the end, you want to make sure that you and your spouse are financially secure, no matter what comes your way.

A luxury home in Mexico is more than an extravagance. It’s a solid investment that can help carry you through the worst of times. It can provide the financial security you need at a time when you and your spouse may be most vulnerable. The appreciation alone may be enough to see you through a catastrophic illness and provide the care and security you or your spouse may need late in life.

Can you say that about your current home? Will it provide financial security for you and your spouse? If you had to sell your home right now, could you find a buyer? In Puerto Vallarta, you can be certain that a luxury home will provide enjoyment in early retirement and financial security in late retirement. The demand for luxury homes in Mexico – especially in Puerto Vallarta is high and will remain so for many years, as new retirees move into the area.

Mexican foreign ownership laws allow you to pass your fideicomiso – the trust that holds the title to your land –to your children, too. The same home that can provide financial security for you could also protect your children and grandchildren as they move through life.

There’s much more to owning a luxury home in Mexico than simple excess. It’s an investment designed to protect your future and the well-being of those you love the most. If you would like more information on how you can benefit from building a luxury home in Mexico, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today.

The news out of the US always seems to be down these days. Many people are concerned about the safety of their investments and are wondering if they should be shifting their retirement investment strategy to better protect their assets. Making investment decisions is always difficult when the markets are in flux. Are you buying high? Low? Are you moving at the right time?

For years, people have turned to real estate to stabilize and improve their investment portfolios. In the current US economy, that advice isn’t working too well because many real estate markets are experiencing double-digit declines in investment values. Real estate is still an excellent part of a solid retirement investment strategy, but you should make sure you’re buying in the right market.

In North America, right now the best real estate appreciation is taking place in Mexico. In some place, like Puerto Vallarta, property values are appreciating at a rate of about ten percent per year. Some analysts believe that this will flatten out, citing concerns that Puerto Vallarta will be “overbuilt” when many new residential condominium projects are completed.

Select Mexico Properties is offering a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of the real estate market conditions in Puerto Vallarta right now. By purchasing a premium residential building site from Select Mexico Properties in San Pancho, you can create a unique and exquisite ocean-view residential property that will have a greater appeal to future investors, and provide a much better return on investment than a condominium in Puerto Vallarta.

San Pancho is just minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, close enough to take advantage of all of the services and conveniences available in Puerto Vallarta, while avoiding the heavily constructed tourist areas and high-rise condominiums. These Select Mexico Properties building sites are located on a beautiful hillside that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Your luxury home is within minutes of the beautiful sandy beaches of San Pancho, and you’ll enjoy the lush jungle vegetation that fills these lots.

You won’t find more beautiful sites than the ones being offered by Select Mexico Properties in San Pancho. Ultimately, these sites will appreciate faster and better than even the newest luxury high-rise condominium in Puerto Vallarta. Please take a look at the building sites we’re offering and see why your retirement investment strategy should include a luxury home here in San Pancho. When you’re ready to make your move, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative for more information about how you can own one of these incomparable Pacific Coast building sites.

For many years, buying real estate was thought to be the smartest investment a person could make. After all, real estate didn’t lose value. Even when other investments were faltering, real estate could be counted on to produce a steady return. Lately, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Except in Mexico, where real estate is still a good deal, and investment properties are performing well.

Everywhere in the US, real estate – even luxury real estate – is suffering. Some communities are reporting double-digit drops in property values, and municipalities are now figuring out how to cope with shrinking tax revenues caused by lower property values. In Mexico, that’s not true. It’s especially untrue in areas like Puerto Vallarta, where property values have enjoyed double-digit gains for the past several years, and expect to produce double-digit gains for the next several years.

Investment properties provide a return on more than one level: traditionally, the increase in the property’s value was considered its return. In a place like Puerto Vallarta, an investment property like a luxury hillside home will not only rapidly appreciate in value, it can also be used as an income property. Many part-time owners choose to rent out their vacation homes during those times when they’re not using it.

Prime luxury properties can rent for hundreds or thousands of dollars per day. Absent owners can hire a caretaking staff to provide meals, housekeeping and laundry service to the guests, the costs for which can be rolled into the rental fee. Within a few years, a luxury property can virtually pay for itself.

Real estate is still a good investment, as long as you’re investing in the right market. Right now, the investment properties in North America are in Mexico, and Puerto Vallarta happens to be one of the most promising real estate markets in the country. If you would like to learn more about investment properties, and how you can take advantage of the opportunities available in Mexican real estate, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today. Let us show you how to put Puerto Vallarta investment properties to work for you!

Investment firm Lipper recently released data that shows that investors who bought exchange traded funds based on the Mexican economy enjoyed a ten-year return of 17%. In comparison, the best performing US-based ETF returned just over 9%. Many people have found that investing in Mexico is a smart move. Traditional vehicles, such as direct investment in real estate can return substantially more. Many ex-pats from the US have found that their investment in Mexico luxury homes has doubled or even tripled in the time they’ve owned the property.

These returns are phenomenal, and are reminiscent of better times in the US. If you’re feeling the pinch of non-performing investments, declining real estate values, and rising prices, you might want to look south of the border for a little relief. Right now, you can find great investment in Mexico luxury homes.

In certain areas of Mexico, the Federal government is encouraging foreign investment in real estate. Puerto Vallarta is one of those areas. The government is pouring billions of pesos into highways, bridges and tunnels, hospitals, water treatment plants, and municipal facilities, all of which will increase the value of the Mexico luxury homes in Puerto Vallarta.

The land values here are growing, and have tripled in the past ten years, but they’re still extremely affordable, even for folks of “ordinary” means. In five or ten years, that won’t be the case, and if you haven’t invested in a Mexico luxury home by that time, you’ll likely be closed out of the opportunity forever.

This is one opportunity that you don’t want to let slip. Now is the time to buy land and build a Mexico luxury home in Puerto Vallarta. Property values are expected to double in the next five years, and the population here is expected to increase by 75 percent. Most of the increase will come from foreign investors – many of whom are retirees – who want to take advantage of the low cost of living and the growth in property values.

If a good return on your investment is important to you, and you’re looking for a market with high growth potential over a short- to mid-term, you need to consider building a Mexico luxury home in Puerto Vallarta today. Select Mexico Properties’ prime residential building sites won’t last long in this investment climate. You need to act fast if you want to take advantage of this opportunity.

These days, it seems like it’s impossible to have it all. The biggest unplanned or underplanned expense in retirement is the cost of health care. Part of the reason it’s so hard to pin down is that costs rise so fast. Many Americans also underestimate the health care coverage they’ll have in retirement, or benefit provisions change along the way. When you factor in health care costs, it’s easy to see why so many people are looking to Mexico for an answer. What they find might surprise you. Many Americans beat the high cost of retirement health care by living in Mexico luxury homes.

If you look closely, the strategy makes perfect sense. The average retiree can expect to spend $250,000 on uninsured medical expenses. Retirees who are blessed with a long life could spend $400,000 or more. To compound the problem, prescription drug costs are extremely expensive. For some retirees, the majority of their monthly retirement benefits go toward the cost of medicine. To cope with these factors, retirees look for places that have both affordable, quality health care and prescription drugs. The less they spend on medical care, the more they have for other things, like food and housing.

A Mexico luxury home in Puerto Vallarta offers a high quality of life. You’ll find medical care comparable to what you’ll receive in the United States. Prescription drugs are available for 50% to 75% less than what you’ll pay in the US for the same medicines. Dental clinics in Puerto Vallarta cater to the American and Canadian residents here, so the care is very similar to what you find in modern US dental practices.

In a Mexico luxury home, a retiree can afford to hire a person to help with the laundry, meals and housekeeping. They can also afford to hire groundskeepers to help with outdoor maintenance and upkeep.

In short, life in a Mexico luxury home significantly reduces the cost of living in those areas that US seniors are most likely to spend extensively on if they live in the US. The cost of housing, medical care, and personal assistance are all substantially lower when retirees choose to live in a Mexico luxury home. Puerto Vallarta is within a few hours by air of most US cities. Puerto Vallarta is served directly by the major air carriers and getting in and out of the city couldn’t be easier.

If you’re looking for a viable strategy to beat the high cost of retirement living, consider building a custom Mexico luxury home. Please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today and let us show you how to make your retirement dollars start working for you!

Recent research by the Friends Provident insurance company in the UK shows that retirees who rent property may spend four times as much on housing as those who own their own properties. The cost of structure and ground rent, service charges, and utilities bills averages nearly £11,500, but property owners pay on average just over £3,000 to maintain their properties. The value of property ownership is clear. If you consider owning property in an area with a
historically low cost of living, your ownership dividend could increase even more. Enter the Mexico luxury home!.

Right now, Puerto Vallarta is in the midst of a buyer’s market, and building sites are priced to sell. Mortgages are available, funded by either pesos or dollars and can be used for the purchase of existing homes, land and construction. If you build a Mexico luxury home now, your investment value will quietly skyrocket in the next five years. Analysts are expecting property values to double, in part due to all of the infrastructure investments being made by the Federal government, and in part because the population of Puerto Vallarta is expected to nearly double by 2015.

This is a “perfect storm” for investors: low land costs, strong economy, good growth track record, excellent location, low cost of living, high quality of life, and high potential for short-term and long-term appreciation. What more could you ask for from a real estate investment?

People are flocking to Puerto Vallarta and many are building Mexico luxury homes here because they understand the potential for rock-solid growth in the short- and long-term.

Aeroportuario del Pacifico, an airport operator here in Mexico, reports that total passenger counts for Mexican airports are up over 9 percent from 2007. International passenger traffic increased by more than 13 percent over last year. Aeroportuario del Pacifico made a special note of the growth being seen at Puerto Vallarta. That’s good news for owners of Mexico luxury homes.

This increase in the number of international passengers means that the Federal government’s plan to increase tourism is working. As more passengers visit Puerto Vallarta, the economy here grows. A strong economy will attract not only more tourists, but also more investors and will increase the property values for those who own Mexico luxury homes.

With all that Puerto Vallarta has to offer – great beaches, resort accommodations, world-class dining, premier golf courses, fishing, surfing, diving, and more – there’s no better place to build a Mexico luxury home than here. Right now, property here is bargain priced. In the coming years, as Puerto Vallarta grows, that won’t be true anymore. Those smart investors who built Mexico luxury homes when the cost of land, materials and labor were low will experience outstanding gains in value here.

All indicators point to the fact that Puerto Vallarta is the place to be. Property values here have tripled in the last ten and will double again in five years. Puerto Vallarta’s population will increase by 72 percent in the next seven years. Those who buy Mexico luxury homes now will be well positioned to take advantage of this spectacular growth.

If achieving double-digit gains for the next five years is part of your investment plan, you have to investigate the role that a Mexico luxury home can play. Please don’t delay! Contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today.
