these rentals look so much better than what I see in the US now

Not for nothing, but those rents are high. The last one was beautiful and large though. I suppose for what you get, mountain views, all new living space, that rent is reasonable? I pay $822 for a two bedroom two bath with everything included except cable and internet, in West Texas! I couldn't afford living in Mexico, or at least that town. They are charging expats high rents I think, but the views and spaces are beautiful and fully furnished. Thank you for the video.

Great views across the lake, but if you are wondering what those big white things are at the base of the mountains: that is the famous Mexican Driscoll's berry farm and they are tents above the crop. I didn't have a chance to visit on my last trip, but bought a lot of berries at the local farmer's market in Ajijic.

Great video! My wife and I are new subscribers and planning to move to Ajijic/Chapala area in the next five years for retirement. We were there last year and rented north of the road above Ajijic. Looking forward to watching your past future posts! Thanks again

I would make sure that any home/apt. in San Juan Cosalá is out of the path of land slides/mud slides. That place is notorious for them. Many homes have been washed away because of that.

such gorgeous views, clean, green, and quiet -- hard to find that in USA

a bit behind the times here, but in Ajijic just up the hill from the Walmart is the 2nd best fish tacos I've ever had in Mexico - at Lake Taco beside the car wash.

Thanks to both of you for sharing honestly as always. You’re a beautiful couple Your videos are informative and unbiased . And you both speak Spanish well. Gracias

I'm interested in 1-bedroom places....in Ecuador. Possible to make a video for singles on a budget?!

Hey Dave and Mary from Philly! I'm from Philly too! Fly Eagles fly!

The lake Chapala area is nice, but the prices have jumped up a lot. The landlords know they are selling to expats and have priced accordingly. It is still cheaper than the USA, but I think you can get better in other places.

this is a great deal

Great video! So informative...love Mexico..

Definitely not more expensive than USA but when you say wildly popular, of course it’s going to be fairly pricey…

thanks for this incrdible video, learned so much

Cool stuff!

In Chile it's a "calefont" as well.

The 3rd one was gorgeous. Just out of my budget. Lol.

Great video and choice. When you going beachside ? Aloha

You guys are funny ( in a good way )!!!

i'm confused and must be watching their videos out of order. do they live in Ecuador or mexico? or are they just visiting mexico?

Hey Amelia and JP, did you guys leave Ecuador? I watch most of your videos to learn something about Ecuador. Did I miss something?

Thanks for sharing this information. Are these long term rentals only or can you rent for a month at a time?

Oh my good lordy lordy! JP you, Sir, are PUNCHING. Take very good care of her, appreciate her and treat her well at all costs. You are one VERY lucky fella.

Still pretty cheap but I guess it depends on where you live in US. Out here you can rent a room from someone for the prices of the homes on this video.

Great video as usual! Are you two leaving Ecuador?

Very nice, however, not much in the way of kitchen cupboards in any of these rentals.

You pretty much need a car out there in San Juan Cosala, seriously.

I dream you will one day make a video about expats in Galapagos, here there are many expats of all ages. Especially Europeans.

I am confused. Are you guys moved to Mexico??

hey, guys where is your link to the rental agent.

How much is rent? Thanks

am I missing the prices??

Those rents seem high to me in my price bracket.

Anyone planning to move to Mexico better get their permanent visas soon! In 2023, as I understand, required monthly income for a pensioner's visa will be $3000. Investment visa? $100,,000? Maybe not that high but close. All that kind of money most don't have tied up in a Mexican bank? Or just rent a vacation rental or live somewhere on the beach like they do in California.

Can I get a tiny one bedroom shack to rent so I can live a quiet retirement and walk to the market everyday and get fresh fruits? That would be my dream.

are these rentals fully furnished? what about utilities?

Thank you for these because I’m thinking of moving there. What do retirees do with their free time. It seems like it would be boring there with little cultural activities going on.

a friend who moved there said it now has a tax for $5000 per couple each for two years. Am trying to verify this info, no able to as of now....any info on a 'tax' on people moving to the area?

Hi. I am wondering why you are showing gated communities and not just private owners of houses ? Is it just xpats in commu ities? Not individual houses 4 rent?

"we totally could live here" As predicted.

Are the rents for month to month or a year contract?

Sorry but "quaint" is not combatible with high rise luxury condo buildings. The local shops and restaurants will soon be replaced by air conditioned malls and glass n chrome high-end stores, exactly the same as Miami, but cheaper.

Wow, are you moving to Mexico now ? I thought that you are in Costa Rica.

Can you folks put a little *No we are not moving nor have we moved to Mexico* in one of your screen corners? This might cut down on 25% of the stupid comments, because, by gosh, after saying you are going to do some travelling for the last 50 or so videos over the last 6 months, who could have noticed? 🤣

Those were lovely properties. Would you say Ecuador is cheaper as it relates to rental properties?

Try Puerto Rico ❤

Cheers to laundry fetishes 🎉

Add graphics at the bottom. Hard to track.

How much is she paying you to advertise these overpriced rentals?
