Everyone benefits when the Fed cuts interest rates, right? Actually, no! When the Fed cuts the interest rate, rates that are tied to it – like the interest paid on CDs – also drop. You may get a better interest rate on a car loan or mortgage, but your retirement investments pay the price. Twenty-six percent of retirees say they’re losing interest on retirement investments when rates drop, and those losses are making a difference.
For someone who is still working, the loss may hardly be noticeable but for those on a fixed income, losing interest means losing income. A balanced retirement portfolio will be able to counter these losses, but many people don’t have well balanced portfolios.
If you’re looking at your retirement investments, or you’re concerned about the long-term impact of losing interest on your retirement savings, consider adding a high-performing investment to your portfolio. Puerto Vallarta real estate has been performing positively at the rate of about 10 percent per year for the past ten year.
Puerto Vallarta is highly desirable retirement location and is part of what makes Mexico the number one retirement destination. You can build a luxurious home for a fraction of what the same home would cost in the US. You’ll have a much lower cost of living without sacrificing your standard of living. You’ll also be able to hire assistants to help with laundry, housekeeping, meals, landscaping and more.
You’ll also have a high-quality investment property. Owning land in Mexico is safe and your Pacific-view property is highly unlikely to lose money anytime in the foreseeable future. Puerto Vallarta real estate is in high demand and will be for many years to come.
In short, Puerto Vallarta real estate is an ideal investment, whether you intend to build and sell, build and lease or rent, or build and move here to enjoy all that Puerto Vallarta has to offer. There are few better ways to stretch your retirement dollar than by living in a luxurious paradise like Puerto Vallarta!
