Select Mexico Properties

Retirees from all over the world are looking for the best places to retire. The high cost of living in the US and Europe is prodding people to look at their retirement options. For retirees in the United States, buying real estate in Mexico is a natural choice because it is close to the US and access to either country is usually easy, provided that you have the proper papers.

If you’re thinking of buying real estate in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, but don’t know much about the market, try visiting your proposed choice locations to see how well they meet your expectations. While you’re there, check out grocery stores, retail outlets, pharmacies, public transportation, hospitals and dental clinics, recreational opportunities, banks and other businesses that you’d be likely to patronize on a regular basis.

You don’t need to commit to buying real estate in Puerto Vallarta right away. If you’re close to retirement or have already retired, try renting a place for six months in the destination of your choice to see if you like it and can adjust to living there. Reach out to the expatriate community in your retirement destination of choice and ask about the challenges and benefits of living in your city of choice.

Once you’ve done your research, if you’re still interested in buying real estate in Puerto Vallarta, work with investment, real estate and legal professionals to make sure that you get the best deal. Select Mexico Properties offers full service real estate assistance, from locating choice properties, to designing and building homes.

Once you’ve built your Puerto Vallarta dream home, you’ll find that buying real estate in Puerto Vallarta may just have been the best investment you’ve ever made. If you’ve finished your research or you already know that a Puerto Vallarta retirement is for you, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today. Let us help you get started on your retirement dreams!

In an annual survey of state pension plans, the 2006 Public Study conducted by the National Association of State Retirement Administrators showed that of 126 state-managed pension plans, nearly 87% showed some unfunded pension liability. In other words, the overwhelming majority of state-run retirement plans do not have enough funds to honor their obligations. If this is the condition of state-run pension plans, imagine what unfunded pension liability exist in private plans!

If you have a pension – public or private – and you’re the trusting sort, you probably believe that your pension is in good shape. In reality, it’s probably not. That’s why it’s important to have more than one option for funding your retirement.

Consider adding a solid investment performer to your portfolio. Real estate investments are typically stable, but US real estate has been declining in value for more than a year. High-performance real estate investments can be found, but right now, they’re mostly located outside the country. Finding the right opportunity is key!

A perennial favorite of tourists, Puerto Vallarta is located on Mexico’s Pacific coast and enjoys a Hawaii-like. The cost of living in Puerto Vallarta is very low, and the quality of living is quite high. Puerto Vallarta is a city of 350,000 permanent residents, and is served by most major airlines. With Mexico’s close proximity to the United States, traveling to and from Puerto Vallarta is never a problem.

Building a luxury home in Puerto Vallarta is a great, flexible approach to retirement. With a premium home, you could choose to rent it out to tourists or part-time residents and generate extra income. The rental income from the home would cover the cost of operating the home, providing maintenance, housekeeping and management, and still leave income for you!

Alternately, you could build the house on spec and sell it afterward. Puerto Vallarta is expecting a significant number of new permanent and part-time residents, many of whom are retirees looking for ideal retirement homes. Developers are buying up all available land here to meet the demand for luxury residential and condominium properties. Individual investor should also consider this option.

Finally, you could build your home here and choose to occupy it when you retire. The cost of living in Puerto Vallarta is exceptionally low, yet the city still provides all of the services you’re accustomed to. It’s a great way to make sure that your retirement dollars stretch! Don’t let an unfunded pension liability derail your retirement plans.

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.

In most places, you wake up in the morning and check the weather report, or the traffic report. If you’re into finances, you might even listen to the overnight investment reports. Make a retirement investment in Puerto Vallarta, however, and all that will become a thing of the past. When you wake up in the morning here, you’ll be checking the fishing report.

Yes. I said “fishing report.” Right now, the hot catch is the African Pompano. Looking for something else? Tuna? Snapper? Marlin? Sailfish? They’re all here, and they’re part and parcel of a Puerto Vallarta retirement investment. Bring your appetite because some of these fish get to be big – upwards of 60 pounds!

If you’ve always wanted to find the ideal fishing spot, come to Puerto Vallarta. The fish are big, beautiful and they’re great to eat! Don’t let this great fringe benefit of your retirement investment go to waste, either! If you’ve never fished before, there are plenty of locals and transplanted friends who would love nothing better than to take you out around the Bay and show you how to relax!

Soon enough, you’ll be a pro at one of the best, most relaxing summer sports. I assure you: if you like fishing, the fish are waiting for you in Puerto Vallarta! Year-round fishing is all yours.

There’s no place quite like Puerto Vallarta. It’s situated on Mexico’s Pacific coast, and not only is the weather beautiful, it’s also surprisingly calm. This natural calm makes the purchase of property in Puerto Vallarta an excellent retirement investment.

The Sierra Madres provide natural protection from the tropical storms and hurricanes that regularly seem to hit the country’s eastern coast. Banderas Bay also adds a measure of protection. The waters in the Bay are also much calmer than they are farther north or south. All of these factors combine to improve the value of land here, making it a superior retirement investment.

I’ve often spoken of the dense vegetation that you’ll find in Nayarit. Properties farther north on the Baja peninsula are mostly desert. You’ will get nice ocean views, but you won’t have the beautiful jungle greenery you’ll find if you make your retirement investment in Puerto Vallarta land.

The temperature is quite livable here. The dense vegetation, ocean breezes and geographic location of Puerto Vallarta tend to keep this area as much as ten degreees cooler than parcels in other coastal areas. You can see why the purchase of land in Puerto Vallarta as a retirement investment makes a lot of sense!

If you’re tired of reading about how wonderful Puerto Vallarta is and you’re ready to see for yourself, contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today. Better yet, come down here and see these properties. Don’t wait too long though. They’re going fast!

The US housing market is in a slump. The lending market is in a slump. Investment portfolios are suffering, and everyone is looking for a safe, productive investment. Well, you can stop looking, because you’ve found a goldmine. Without a doubt, the best retirement investment you can make is the purchase of real estate in Puerto Vallarta.

Why Puerto Vallarta? The land values here have tripled – yes, tripled – in the last ten years. They’re increasing by 10% per year steadily. The values of land here will more than double in the next five years. The cost of living here makes a comfortable retirement affordable, and will enable you to restart some of those retirement dreams that you had to shelf when the economy in the US got soft.

Building a home in Puerto Vallarta is more than a retirement investment. It can be a cash engine right now. Whether you live in the home you build, or rent it out to some other lucky individual, your Puerto Vallarta home can generate cash while it appreciates. It’s like having your very own money machine.

Life in Puerto Vallarta is a lot like life in the US – without the bad real estate market, the high unemployment rate and skyrocketing cost of everything from healthcare to gasoline. The tourists can’t get enough of Puerto Vallarta. If you’ve ever been here, you know why! The dream of owning a home in Puerto Vallarta can come true, and when it does, you’ll see why so many people are looking to Puerto Vallarta as a solid retirement investment.

Your quarterly earnings statement for your retirement savings account should be coming in the mail in a few weeks. Are you worried about what it will show? If you can’t afford to take another loss, and are looking for a solid retirement investment, Select Mexico Properties has an incredible pick-me-up for your retirement savings.

The value of property in Mexico is at a historic high right now, and property in certain areas of the country will appreciate even faster. Puerto Vallarta is one of those areas in which property values are expected to double in the next five years. Will your current retirement investments perform that well?

If you’re like the majority of US citizens, your retirement account has taken a beating in the last ten years. As you approach retirement age, will your retirement investment be sufficient to make your dreams come true? Many working Americans question whether they can even afford to retire, and dread the prospect of losing their steady income, or working part-time in a meaningless job just to make ends meet.

Living in Mexico is dramatically less expensive – even in a world-class tourist destination like Puerto Vallarta – than it is in the US. Moving south of the border is one way to stretch your retirement investments and live comfortably in an area that has modernized infrastructure and health care services.

The Puerto Vallarta economy is hot, hot, hot! Tourists are arriving here by car, train, ship, and plane. However they get here, they get here and the Mexican government is spending hundreds of millions of dollars making improvements that will ensure that the flow of tourist dollars into Puerto Vallarta continues unabated.

Puerto Vallarta real estate is the ideal retirement investment. Should you ever decide to leave, you can sell in a seller’s market and reap substantial gains. This is as close to a no-lose proposition as you’ll ever get. Don’t let your retirement investment take a beating quarter after quarter.
