Only $239,000 cash? I probably have that amount in my couch if I look really hard enough. 😂😂😂

Please dont use any music in your videos thanks

Greetings 👋🏼 from Yucatan

It just dawn on me that bidets should be more popular in Mexico as it would reduce peanut butter tissue in the waste basket.

For an American that is reasonable. But sadly, for Mexicans they are quite expensive.

Hi. I know Tim I met him in 2020 hen he first came there Really nice guy. He’s a highly skilled carpenter too. Also , I know that lady. She sweeps up street on Javier Mina where I lived in 2019. I would see her every morning out there sweeping and I’d give her a good tip

Ha, ha! Once I drove down on Xmas day to perhaps drive to Cabo Lucas- going down from California - it was a very long drive, but the border folks all had took off for the holidays, so I just drove down without papers. Then, I was way down in Rosarita in Baja Sur and outside of town there was a police car sitting (and zero traffic of any kind). I drove up to the Police and had a conversation with him, so he never asked for any papers, but I abandoned my driving so far south, because the distances were HUGE and it was a boring trip given I was on my own. There was like zero activity in any of the towns down there and it was a bit primitive. I saw interesting sites - one location was a strange forest of huge rocks and even a small town among the rocks - very strange.

Can an American buy a house or land in MX?

Yes, if you go to visit your Mexican neighbor, you will notice a basket right next to the toilet. That’s a Mexican thing. 😂

How is the water situation

What a crazy story!!!! JB let this guy know I'll travel with him on his NEXT bus trip in Mexico ; ) I've never had anything like that happen to me in Mexico.

she's a wonderful realtor, to be honest, I visited a few months ago and I loved it but I felt the Americans had made a false real-estate market there, meaning they had raised prices so much that it felt wrong...... I love the area and will return but I'd be very picky and would never overpay personally. thanks for the great videos.

I’m looking for a home for about $200,000 dollars

If I go to Mexico there’s no way I’m going to live where I have to pay HOA no way Jose 😂😂 that’s not freedom honey. I’m Mexican n I decide where n how to live there . Live the HOA system In USA 🇺🇸 .

The problem is for example how you were robbed. Medical if it's something serious you have to pay cash the only thing good is the medicine and the rent is no longer cheap.so if your young I can agree but the seniors it's not only if your vacation.

Thank you for your video. Looks alike pictures for houses getting pretty close to USA prices.

Wow the Ajijic home had a nice layout.

Great video, Jerry.

Can you flush the toilet in this part of Mexico?

Aquí ya no los queremos! Regresen a su país y dejen de gentrificar México

Saludos desde Aguascalientes I’m actually from San Marcos the famous feria 🎡 my entire familia is from here more than 300 years and before that we don’t know because we lost the war 😂

If you want to live in Mexico it’s fine by me but if you want to change the culture and negativity affect the local people seriously fuck off.

Beautiful unit / home at Mission de Lago Much desired neighborhood. Very nice. Close to everything. I lived nearby on Javier Mina a few years ago I know a Canadian who lives in the community. My favor neighborhood in Ajijic

People are waiting and hoping for the mortgage rates to drop in the United States when the feds meet in September. Also, the job market is slow when houses don’t sell it all trickles down. Wait until September and possibly even after the election and there should be a big change then. People can’t buy in Mexico or other countries. If their homes in the states and Canada are not selling.

Having left Ajijic recently to return to the U.S.A. after a year of enjoying the Mexican lifestyle I'd agree with you overall but as a healthy 82:year old man I chose to return for Medicare coverage plus the realization that the area is lacking in state of the art facilities for serious emergency treatment such as stroke and heart attack. Indeed, it's a risk I didn't want to take.

Keep up you charisma Jerry You make me wanna visit mexico.. you wanna rent a room lol

Yes, my advice for someone like her would be to sell her house, which at this point in time will be at an all-time high, put $50K of it in a 1-year CD at 5.14% to withdraw as needed and the rest into a low cost index fund or ETF, such as VTI, and let it ride forever. Once her house is sold and escrow closed, she takes off for Mexico, does up to 6 months at a time, and after the investment has been in her accounts for a year, applies for Temporary Residency at the Mexican consulate. Now, being super conservative, and given her age, she can easily withdraw up to 5% of her money per month without any risk of running out of it for the next 25 to 30 years, unless an alien space ship attacks or the sun explodes. She has $1,450 in SS money coming in per month, and now let's take out 5% of $200K, so that's $8K per year or $666 per month. Total money to spend will be 2,116, and that's absolutely sufficient, with the one unknown variable being her health care.

Okay guys. C’mon. The acting is not good. First the sound of the police siren did not seem or sound like it was coming from your video and you second of all you would have kept the camera rolling. The picture you presented is from another situation taken somewheres. I really loved your content, but I won’t be following you anymore. Sorry just does not seem real.

Is there a web site that reports on the lake level and what problems it may be creating in the area? Are you still giving neighborhood tours?

Thxx Dear you are looking 🤩😎😍

Unfortunately, she did not plan appropriately for retirement.

Great video! Great book - Moringa of Mexico!

How much?

We visit Jacona which is connected to Zamora. Been to the same sites. Great city. Great video!

In 2020, I was looking for a place to retire overseas, I first tried the Chapala NorthShore communities (I stayed at several Airbnbs) for about four months. Didn’t like it. It was too segregated, and too old (at the time I was 59 years old). I now call Vallarta my home, and have been here since 2021. Love it! I’m a very physically fit senior, love hiking and CrossFit. It is much more expensive, but I have a very good retirement, I am also bilingual in Spanish/English. In PV I have many friends from different demographics, Mexicans , Digital Nomads, well traveled seniors, long term vacationers and snowbirds (like myself, who spends summers outside of PV , like the USA, or Europe.) It’s a very liberal community with lots of liberal minded people.

That's call gentrification

Very expensively now compared to southeast Asia. 😳

How come I still live here in Mexico on about $1,000 a month? How do I do it? 😂😂😂

Thanks for solid info...

Thanks for all the info.❤

Love PV but a little too touristy for me

Thank you for the video. I like the chill vibe of Ajijic but I would be visiting PV a few times a year for a bit of excitement.

Currently 47, but looking at Puerto Vallarta or nearby Bucerias to retire. Guadalajara being nearby is attractive as well. Hoping to visit finally early next year .

PV not affordable and too touristy

Great video Jerry Thanks.

Great video! Thanks for all you do!

Wonderful video!

Neither

Which you choose, Ajijic or Puerto Vallarta, is a lifestyle choice, personally we decided on Ajijic but that's just us. For us in Ajijic we liked the cooler climate with no need for heat or A/C, the walkability and slower pace of the village, the friendly atmosphere, the expat club, I also like to hike in the mountains in Ajijic and it's just a short walk to the trails there from anywhere in town. Overall it suits us but I can understand someone wanting more nightlife and the whole "beach life" experience that Puerto Vallarta offers. It all comes down to how you want to live. Both have lots to offer, they just offer different things.

Around Lake Chapala many of the restaurant and other workers rely on the buses for transportation. They stop running at about 8:30PM.
