We need a follow up from her and her backstory! I love her speaking voice.

OK, so which one did she pick??? I loved the last one, the townhouse. However, the mansion apartment was to LIVE for. And having the landlord on site has its advantages.

Does she have a checklist? Also in Mexico it's as important to choose the *landlord* as it is to choose the place! Have stuff on the checklist like: - do dogs bark at night? - how is the place affected by flooding? - wait for it: who really owns the property? Someone dies and had a whole 'nother family in a different state; next thing you know, children come out of the woodwork, ownership changes and your place becomes a living hell - yep, that's Mexico -who is the internet provider (Telsnor vs Totalplay etc) - any pest problems? When was the last time the place was treated - how are mold problems handled - come by at night and to see if you will have one annoying neighbor who could make life a "DIABLO THEME PARK"😆😆😆 And that is just what I can think of off the top of my head. For Airbnb's, ask directly if the amenities listed work. You will be surprised how many places list "TV" but the cable service is turned off/tv doesn't work. Or some other XYZ amenity that is listed, then you get there and it doesn't work. There's levels to this 😆😆😆😆

This video is perfect! I am considering moving to Merida and this is exactly what I needed to see.

Good stuff ya'll. Cartess you're providing an awesome service for our folks. Salute!

Cartess, you are such a nice man to take this sister around Merida. A lot of black men are not “brotherly” these days. Thank you! Please send me her email because I would love to meet her and rent her room when I come to Merida. I’m retiring from teaching public school next month!!! Selling my house and ready to get outta here! I don’t feel safe in a school or this country! I’m out!! Thanks for your videos.

That second to last one was amazing and the last one was a close second

When she sat down on the white sofa....I KNEW she had decided! 🤣🤣

My only annoyance with the process is a landlord keeping a hefty deposit. Imagine telling me that I won't get my 2k back. Yea that worries me a lot.

I think it’s great she’s staying open to renting the other room out and creating some extra income for herself. Great job 👏🏼

I would have taken the townhouse. Great layout and even though I don’t like built in furniture and I don’t like red walls, the space and the pool is gorgeous.

Do you remember what restaurant y’all were at? Those drinks looked delicious. 😋

I loved the last 2 also, but the one with the landlord spoke to me big time...lololol ❤💯 So Cartess which one did she pick?

Hey Cartess! I’ve enjoyed your videos so much! I appreciate your stories, updates, interviews, and showing us around the town. I’d love to see how certain ones have decorated their new place etc. Love an update on the ones who have come in. Again, thank you for your wealth of information and insight. Keep up the good work!

This is a really great video. I’ve seen a number of people post house/apartment tours… but this one was especially good. I agree with what she said… having a little more privacy is important to me. I feel like having the owner right there… they kinda know all your business.. when you come & go & with who. A question I have is she talked about maybe renting the other room out occasionally. Do you need to get an owner’s permission on that? Or how does that work? Also she says something about testing the internet. On another KZfaqrs video they talked about doing that… what’s the best way of doing that? Sorry… several questions, but inquiring minds moving there wanna know. I really enjoy your content. Very down to earth & informative. I’m so thankful for people like you helping me get a preview of how to do it when I get there (hopefully Feb or March)

If she is looking for a roomie, let me know. Considering Merida for 3-6 months & I'd rather another solo female traveler without kids as a house mate.

I loved the place w the pool and owner was great! I am happy you showed places willing to do 6 months.

I'm practically in the same boat! I'm having a rough time deciding. Cartess of you hear the dogs barking now that means we're neighbors 🤣🤣

The one with the landlord was gorgeous. But be careful with that. We rented a 2/2 casita behind a huge mansion. Gated and gorgeous. But the landlord watched our comings and goings. We’re quiet retired people. It was weird to have someone see you come home with groceries and they notice you bought 2 bottles of wine and they ask if you’re having a party. Really??? Lol.

Very cool video - thank you for this. Only caveat w town house: is it in the area that gets flooded during heavy rains and hurricanes? Look in to that if she hasn't already taken it.

Toddy mentioned she heard issues with deposits being returned. Could you talk more about deposits not being returned? How big of an issue is this?

Awesome video. Very informative.

I knew you looked familiar. I kept asking myself where do i know this guy from. I've been subscribed to tshirt channel for over a decade. I see you're still hustling. You're an inspiration, keep up the good work brother.

This was so helpful

I lived in Merida 2010-2018. Stayed in Centro the entire time and my last place was a 2 bedroom, smallish but gorgeous loft house with a small pool in Santa Ana. I paid 9500 plus utilities but in 2014 I had a 3 bedroom house... definitely outdated but in Centro (Santiago) with a pool and it was 200 USD a month. My last place is the one I paid the most for and at the time I was like: "that's right I'm throwing down the big pesos and getting myself this cool pad. So have prices gone up in Centro so much you're looking outside of it or is Centro not your thing? Those places you saw were decent but I was full-on addicted to the colonial homes in Centro. Meanwhile, I had friends who were like, eh... Centro smentro...whatever I can go live in the north for 300 USD and have a more modern huge place.... depends on your priorities. I want to know what she picked and wished I still lived there... looks like some nice people are moving in! I couldn't take the heat anymore though (grab that private pool!... it's a lifeline not a luxury when the heat hits and everyone gets a bit of the crabby crabs after a few months of it so better to avoid neighbors who might start pool wars cause their brains are drowning in sweat!...and because you can swim in your birthday suit and save your swimming suit for "special occasions". You know like when someone is visiting, you're at a pool party, or you need to spontaneously hit a swimsuit competition with the crotch of your suit still touching your crotch. Pool kill suits quickly.) Great job negotiating. Here are a few things I learned that might help you. Turns out Merida is just a place where lawyers have gotten away with saying they charge one month's rent... I don't think it's a legal requirement they charge that. I've lived in 3 places between Queretaro and Puebla since I left Merida and I never get charged for the contract being written so I suspect there is absolutely lawyers in Yucatan that can write a contract cheaper but I'd be curious if you can ask around and see what they say. An owner doesn't get the money anyway... I can't imagine one saying no if you were like, "So I'm almost all in but can we go find a lawyer that will write the contract for a better price?" Also just FYI because I didn't know this option existed when I lived in Merida... in central Mexico, you pay a 2nd deposit OR an insurance policy which is usually a 3rd of the cost of a deposit...mine have been around 3,000 pesos or I wasn't even asked for any of that. The drawback to the policy is the money is gone no matter what but your deposit probably is too anyway so you lose a lot less and no deposit drama at the end. You need to buy a new policy each year so if you're staying years a deposit might be cheaper in the end to lose but that depends on your plans. But you could put the insurance policy offer on the table to trying to save some money. In any case... Merida is magic and I'm glad you both have found (are finding) a place there to enjoy it! Bienvenidos a Mexico!

This is an awesome service you provide. Love the feedback she gave for each space. I'm looking forward to "scouting" the area soon (fingers crossed).

What a beautiful and intriguing lady.. I would love to rent a room from her just so I can listen to her talk.. I am moving to the Philippines or Mexico and I have not made up my mind yet.. I really enjoy your channel and I wonder what happened to that lady? Thanks👍👌😎🤗

Cartess using more Spanish. You go bro! 👏🏼👏🏼

What were the realtors names?

The last one is the best.

This was interesting; good content. I knew she'd love the mansion apartment; it was head and shoulders above the others. But, the privacy aspect seemed an important difference, and the solo mini pool was amazing. Guess there will be a Part II (The Decision) and Part III (after she moves in)? I loved the ex-pat rental income generating idea, too. When I saw the mansion apartment, I thought "Oh, I'd rent from her to stay there," lol!

So when we get there I just want everyone to know that I’m going to greet you as you were announced to us. “Aye hola you’re the 24hrs or get out sister!” “Aye hola you’re the my favorite chicken spot guy!”

I liked this video. How did it work out? Did she move into the last spot with her own pool? Does she have a housemate yet to split the rent?

So, which one did she pick?

Hello! Can we get an update video?

The “owner” may have something to say about her renting out the other bedroom.

Hola, so what did she decide?

Why two deposits, please explain?

Alot of the places didn't have a living room.

Why is the volume going down
