Why Invest in Mexico

There many reasons to purchase a secondary home in Mexico. As a vacation destination, Mexico offers unparalleled beauty and hospitality in a warm, tropical environment that is close to home. The country offers well developed communities in sought-after locations up and down both coasts, particularly in the renowned tourist areas that have made Mexico a travelers- dream come true for decades. There are several benefits to owning your own property in Mexico.

If you-re looking for a consistently attractive vacation destination, you will avoid surrendering ¨wasted¨ money in the long term by paying the mortgage on your own home instead of paying rental fees to someone else. Thus, you secure your own piece of paradise in a location where you travel on your terms. Because Mexico neighbors the United States, maintaining a second home here is easier than it would be if you bought a home in another country (like in Europe), or even in another state! The flight from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta is 3 hours, from Seattle it-s 4 hours and from Chicago it-s 4.5 hours. Compare that with flight time from Los Angeles to New York City - 5 hours and 15 minutes.

Retirement

Spend your Golden Years on Golden Shores

Retirement in Mexico represents a wonderful opportunity to experience your golden years on the golden shores in one of the most sought-after destinations for US retirees in the world. Mexico offers the kind of experience you may never have had: the chance to live abroad in an easy, comfortable environment with many options to interact with new people in an alluring place. Here are some things to remember when considering where to spend your retirement:

  1. Weather
  2. Proximity
  3. Affordability
  4. Safety
  5. Healthcare
  6. English Language
  7. Friendly Environment
  8. Companionship

  1. Weather: As we age, we become less tolerant to temperature shifts and a cold climate. Bound by two oceans, Mexico offers mile after mile of beaches that feature varying kinds of weather – mostly warm and sunny. That's not to suggest that Mexico doesn't have its weather challenges – hurricanes off the Gulf of Mexico, for example, are as common in Mexico as in the United States – but the country is known for warm sea breezes and tropical weather. Puerto Vallarta is known for its temperate climate and almost 320 days of sunshine year round.

  2. Proximity: As next-door neighbors to the United States, Mexico is close enough to get to easily, both for you to visit the US, as well as for the family and friends you left behind to come visit you in your new home. Puerto Vallarta has an International airport and offers direct flights to many US cities as well as connection flights to almost anywhere in the world.

  3. Affordability: Although there are plenty of ways to spend lots of money south of the border, Mexico traditionally is a place where the simple things in life – sunshine, sea breezes and a friendly environment – are totally free. The day-to-day necessities are usually reasonably priced (especially for a "local" which is what you'll be) and the financial requirements of life in most of Mexico suit people living on fixed incomes.

  4. Safety: Each year between 15 and 16 million US citizens visit Mexico, with more than 385,000 Americans living there throughout the year. Like the United States, Mexico has varying degrees of crime. In some areas of the country (such as the southern state of Chiapas), politically motivated demonstrations can sometimes become violent. In metropolitan areas, as well as along the Atlantic and Pacific coastal vacation towns, crime is relatively low and rarely violent. As in the United State, common sense prevails. If you have one, you'll want to use a safe for valuables left behind while you go out. And when you go out, don't dress in a way that would make you a victim. Avoid attracting attention by wearing flashy jewelry, watches or clothing. Don't flash large amounts of cash and use caution at ATMs, and naturally, women should avoid walking alone at night. The US Department of State continually updates security information on its website at: http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/regional/regional_1174.html.

  5. Healthcare: Mexico's healthcare system has been improving for many years and all major cities have excellent top-rated hospitals that offer care often at a much lower price than the United States.

    a. Many of Mexico's doctors are English-speaking and trained in the United States

    b. Many prescription medications are available over the counter at a fraction of the cost of the same medication in the United States. No insurance needed.

    c. Most of Mexico-s doctors have a wide range of skills, and even specialists can mend broken bones or treat general illness

    d. Cities with a large number of retirees tend to have a large number of specialists in the fields of heart, cancer and cosmetic surgery

    e. Mexico's proximity to the United States makes it easy to return home for specialized care

    f. Retirement in Mexico can be virtually stress-free, ensuring greater health due to environmental factors

    g. Mexico offers year round fresh fruit and vegetables picked and eaten at their peak for better taste, so you eat more of them

  6. English: Because of its location next to the US, Mexico has a large percentage of the population who speak English. This is especially true in metropolitan areas and where US citizens live and vacation.

  7. Friendly Environment: Mexico's population is overwhelmingly friendly – Puerto Vallarta, for example, was voted the “friendliest city in the world” by Condé Nast. Because most of the country realizes that American investment in tourism, second-home ownership and retirement is a critical boom to the Mexican economy, Americans are welcomed with opened arms.

  8. There are others like you: It is estimated that almost one-in-four of the 4 million Americans living overseas are living in Mexico – more than 600,000 permanent citizens, in fact. When you retire there, you're going to enjoy the company of others just like you – brave enough to do something exciting with their lives and smart enough to do it in a place that is easy, warm, friendly and comfortable.

Investment Oportunities

Invest in Yourself As a rule of thumb, property values in Mexico tend to increase year after year, particularly in popular cities and coastal areas. As with all property, the relative value of land comes down to one simple factor: location. With more baby boomers look to retire and as more people from the United States seeking out investment opportunities in vacation destinations close to home, property values are expected to rise in the coming decade, especially true in the carefully-chosen locations where MexicoAlive developments are taking shape.

According to several sources, the continued development and investment in places like Puerto Vallarta has had the effect of increasing property values by 7% - 10% annually with as much as 20% or more in the most coveted communities. The annual inflation rate in Mexico hovers at about 4% and is coupled with the robust growth of the Mexican economy (at a rate of approximately 3.8% annually). These numbers are compelling and hint at the remarkable investment opportunities waiting for potential investors in Mexican real estate. Here is a sample figure to help calculate the value of second home ownership over inflation: A home purchased in Mexico for $250,000 today, with an annual increase in property value of 8.5%, would have a value of $565,246 in 10 years and $1,278,011 in 20 years.

They made me feel like I found just what I was looking for." Jim & Sherry Gunderson - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I have been vacationing in Puerto Vallarta for several years now, always looking for good investment opportunities. I met the Mexico Alive team and they offered me several property investment options. I had many fears about purchasing land in Mexico, after hearing all kinds of stories in the news; I never imagined the process would be so efficient and orderly, that the properties would be developed under the best international standards. I feel now like I made a great investment and made the right decision by diversifying out into another country, plus I found just the right place to vacation with my family." - MexicoAlive Customer “The thing that surprised me most about the Mexico Alive Group is it is a newly conformed team, where the most qualified specialist in Mexico, from architects and designers, to developers and constructors, ensure the quality of design and materials as also prime care for detail in the diverse and innovative projects they represent.
