You explained the happy factor perfectly. Every tourist is happy on vacation, every expat is happy because they live in this beautiful place, every local is happy because they make a good living and meet people from all over the world. Great video guys.
Every local is not happy. Locals getting forced out of their homes because of gentrification. In some cases, included me, rent last year increased 50%. Shops in centro are closing and people are being forced to live on the outskirts where they can affords to rent. I am happy your expenses have halved. That must be nice for you.
We have been thinking about moving to Puerto Vallarta. We moved from Chicago to Las Vegas to get away from the cold but we are thinking more and more about moving to Mexico. Las Vegas is not as affordable as we thougjt
Mexico did give surprise difficulties for its expats several years ago - they just started not routinely giving 180 days to tourists which really threw a lot of expats game plans off. That seems to have passed but was an unpredictability. Now their cost of residency through the roof for some of us. However so many good traits that you bring forth especially travel time and closer to family. Thank you
Good vid, very informative. We live in Elmhurst, west of Chicago and we've been going down to Vallarta twice a year since '97 and we totally love it. Heading back down end of April and I'm counting the days til we leave!
Hi Mark and Kirsten, great video. Enjoyed seeing your condo and hearing your comparisons versus Penang. Patti and I will actually be scouting PV along with Mazatlán and Cabo this June.
Congratulations on your move. I am retired and my wife will retire in November. We have visited P.V. nine times in the last 22 years. We got married in Nuevo Vallarta on 12/3/22. We are planning another trip this December for our anniversary. We pay $2400 a month for a one bedroom apartment here just 10 minutes from Laguna Beach SoCal. We are thinking about P.V. but also Loreto BCS. Thanks for the info.
The vibration is high there.....No Race issues.....No Religious issues.....No Political issues.....aaaaaaaaaasshhhhh.....dats nice...God willing, I ll be there before the summer of 2024...God bless Mexico and Puerto Vallarta.....Chapala too!!
18:14 Is it possible for a single person to get a rental for $300-400 USD? Im starting to learn Spanish and will be returning in 10 years but I will be on a tight budget.
@@marktraccuia4135 I hope you're not the exception. Many You-tubers and folks in FB groups have recounted their experiences being stopped while driving.
Hi. My name is Kerry. I was wondering if u can help us. My hubby and I are seriously thinking about moving to pv from Florida. Would love to find a place like yours to rent with that fantastic view. Would prob buy eventually but rent 1st til we decide which area we like the best. We have a dog and 2 cats also. Would like furnished if possible. I am 55 and chad is 53 btw. We want to retire this year if possible. So looking for a more laid back lifestyle but need ocean view, walkable to beach and close to great restaurants. 2 br/2 bath would be enough to start with. If u have any suggestions that would be wonderful. Thank you. 😎
And I was told that those two flat areas are the best places to buy properties. I really need to make sure which areas are best to buy cus many people have different opinions. Is going to be tuff.
Those are good up and coming areas for investments but they also flood at times. I wouldn't buy until you live here for a while, through rainy season. @@JaimeLopez-oh5uc
@@JaimeLopez-oh5uc- You were just informed that “those areas” you were instructed to buy in bcZ they were the best areas are FLOOD ZONES. And you wanted to avoid flood zones. Hence, don’t buy in those places.
care about own stomach and intestinal poop gas shoots the brain. desires from tongue, nothing about caring about other species on humanity. same stories as most of other robot videos. help on humanity makes self-shine and can communicate with everybody's unlimited heart. got to move on
