Select Mexico Properties

Many retirees consider a move to Mexico because of the amazing cost of living here. Most purchases cost between 50% and 75% less than they do in the United States. There are some exceptions, but the “big-ticket” items for retirees are very inexpensive here. Puerto Vallarta health care is one prime example.

A second reason that retirees consider a move to Mexico is the cost and availability of medical services. Puerto Vallarta has two brand new hospitals that provide coverage for just about any health specialty you can think of. You can get all of the state-of-the-art diagnostic tests here as well as emergency treatment and ongoing care for diagnosed and chronic conditions.

This is good news, considering that the average American retiree can expect to spend $250,000 on uninsured medical expenses after the age of 65. For retires who live into their nineties, the uninsured medical costs can soar above $400,000. In addition to finding steep discounts on high-quality medical care, retirees here can expect to find similar discounts on prescription drugs, the other major expense in retirement.

One concern about moving to Mexico is the fact that Medicare will not pay for any health care here. Many retirees believe that Medicare covers most or all of your health care needs after you retire. Unfortunately, Medicare only covers a portion of your health care costs. The rest is up to you.

The cost of health care is such that in the US, retirees may spend more on their health care needs even with insurance coverage than they would spend if they received the same care in Mexico with no insurance coverage at all. To make matters worse, the cost of health care has long outpaced inflation, so the percentage of income spent on health care needs after retirement is steadily rising.

If you’re concerned that the high cost of health care will leave you without sufficient capital to meet your health care needs, consider the broad availability of low-cost Puerto Vallarta health care services when you’re making your retirement plans.

Puerto Vallarta is an amazing city, a modern affair that more than 350,000 people call home. Rural areas that feature cobblestone and dirt roads surround it. The roads are passable by private cars, but many people here choose not to own them. Nonetheless, you’ll find many options for transportation in Puerto Vallarta.

Many US ex-pats find that giving up a car is difficult, so they choose to keep their vehicles. When you enter the country and you bring your car, you register it. The vehicle’s documentation is on your visa paperwork. US citizens here are advised to keep a copy of their visas in the vehicle, much like you keep a registration or title. There’s no additional vehicle registration. You can also find mechanics who will maintain your vehicle at a very affordable price. If you don’t want to keep a vehicle, you can rent one for a day to do shopping, run errands or visit a nearby town.

Other options for transportation in Puerto Vallarta include buses (which do cover the metropolitan Puerto Vallarta area), shuttles, and taxis. You can also find water taxis to take you to the small islands off of Puerto Vallarta’s coast. You can also take chartered fishing excursions.

For air transportation in Puerto Vallarta, international carriers fly out of Puerto Vallarta’s International Airport. In addition, low-cost domestic carriers can fly you to other destinations in Mexico. Many of these same domestic carriers have applied for permission to fly across the US border to southern and southwestern cities in the US. This is great news because it means that you can have low-cost access to the US whenever you want to return!

You may be asking yourself how the locals get around. In the areas surrounding Puerto Vallarta, many residents travel by horseback! Although Puerto Vallarta is a modern city, the areas surrounding it are still very rural. This entire area was a fishing and farming community before it became a prime tourist destination, and many locals still keep horses as their primary mode of travel.

If you’re ready to experience the charm of Puerto Vallarta, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today. We can show you how to make the most of the variety of options for transportation in Puerto Vallarta.

Mexico regularly receives bad publicity regarding the safety of investments here. People are concerned that their investment dollars are at risk, especially if they’re not Mexican natives. Buying Mexico real estate can be as safe as buying real estate in the US, and at the moment, it’s quite a bit more profitable!

Mexico real estate laws say that foreign ownership of land within 50 km of the coastlines and national borders is prohibited, except through a method whereby these special lands are held in trust. Additionally, not all land in these special zones are eligible for foreign ownership.

That’s part of what makes the properties being offered by Select Mexico Properties so special. These prime properties overlook the Pacific Ocean. When you build a home on one of these lots, you’ll only need to look out of your window to see the ocean! Your home will be within a few minutes’ walk of beautiful, sandy beaches. The beaches are clean and the area here couldn’t possibly be more beautiful.

You may purchase title insurance on your property through First American Title or Stewart Title, and your deed will be held in a Fideicomiso (trust) to guarantee your ownership stake. Further, your purchase will be registered by the notario publico, which officially seals your claim on your land. Your trust will be established for a period of 50 years, and that trust can be extended, meaning that you can transfer your beautiful Mexico real estate to your children or grandchildren.

Select Mexico Properties’ residential building sites are located in San Pancho (San Francisco on the map!) and are located away from the hyper-populated tourist areas. If you’re serious about buying Mexico real estate and are looking for a beautiful place to relax and enjoy life, you won’t find a better offering than Select Mexico Properties’ San Pancho building sites.

The environment here is beautiful and life is grand. Best of all, you’re within minutes of Puerto Vallarta, which means that you can take advantage of the best that Puerto Vallarta has to offer, while still having a peaceful, quiet and luxurious home!

Life in Mexico isn’t fast-paced by any means. Once you’re here, you’ll find that you can’t help but relax and enjoy the atmosphere here. Puerto Vallarta is the ideal place to retire!
