La Paz Mexico House Tour (Summer 2021) 

Wow, watching this video I can see the transformation that your property has gone through, what a difference!

Happy for you and your wife! Paradise Found.

Great video. I like your honesty. It sounds like your house will be a beautiful place, especially at breakfast.

I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you, I've already learned so much. Lori from Alberta, Canada

Love everything about your home and property. The furnishings are so unique and interesting. We are coming to La Paz in early April to have a look around for future retirement considerations. So happy we found your channel.

Very impressive. Thanks for the tour! You are a riot.

Thanks for taking us through your home and property Brighton. I couldn't stop watching; it was really interesting. You are building something that will be beautiful and a real sanctuary in years to come. So many people would love to do this so it is very educational. Good luck with everything!!!

Wow! I'm glad I found your channel. I will be moving to La Paz at the end of the month. I'm renting a casita from a family that has property overlooking the bay with a great spot for morning coffee and an evening cocktail. I so agree with you. I've lived in Mexico for 2 years and I am not retired. Best decision I ever made!

In town. Looking in centenario this week. I like the winter weather. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the info. I’m spending a month in la paz.later this year.

U picked the best place in all of Mexico! ✌️

i enjoyed this vid a lot. good for you. place looks lke so much fun to work on

Incredible Brighton! What a deal. Great timing too. Thanks for the tour. Love what you're doing. We keep touring and will be in Puerto Escondido later this year and are very interested to see how working from the Mexico will be. Going to keep watchin you man! Congrats!!!

Simply love your home

Love the house! We spent 2.5 months in Puerto Vallarta last winter. I have the pre-tirement bug! Love that term! We have a definite plan for 10 years from now- we’ll be 50 and kids in college, but I’ve been seriously considering going for it sooner like maybe summer 2022. My reservation is definitely my kids - they will be 9th and 5th grade. I don’t want them to have a bad experience. This is very inspiring!

Looks great Brighton! - Dane

Good for you! Bold move. We have lived between La Ribera and Cabo Pulmo for 14 years. We actually like to visit La Paz for a day trip more than Cabo San Lucas. Far more authentic old Mexico in flavor for sure. We have no regrets moving to Baja Sur. We live about two hundred yards from the beach, which is fine for us. We can hear the ocean. Have a beautiful mountan scape behind us. Very - very quiet except for birds chirping and singing. Plenty of “living options.” Retired here at 56 years old, although for years I worked for the University of MD as a full professor online. -- We love the variety of people here in Baja Sur. Enjoy La Paz. God bless.

What a beautiful place

Very helpful videos!

Brighton, I think you hit it out of the park with your place there. I know you have over doubled your money and that won’t be the end of it. I love your courtyard and the spare bathroom with that beautiful sink. The wife and I just purchased pre construction in Quivira Cabo San Lucas on the pacific side. Not sure if your familiar with it. I envy the size of your lot and especially your garden. Our place doesn’t have any outside space because it’s constructed after a Mexican Pueblita where we have two units above ours, but no shared walls. We do have a nice sized courtyard so hopefully we can make that an outside space for us. I know this is an older video, so I’m excited to see what you’ve done with the place.

Esta muy bonita y cómoda su casa.

I love your house, especially the kitchen, what a deal- I'm so envious! :-). I have been to the Yucatan area several times but this fall will be venturing out to Puerto Escondido for a month. My plan is to travel around central MX up to Matzalan for the following five months in hopes of finding my new permanent home. Of course, I will have to go back to the U.S. after my tourist visa expires so I'm wondering how to handle cell phone service when going back and forth. Looking forward to seeing more vlogs from you. Muchas gracias!

Congratulations. It’s a beautiful home. 🧡🦋🌻

Beautiful

Great video. Saw you on Bev’s channel 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Great house Brighton! My wife and I have been looking into to pretiring(nice term that I hadn't heard but am now using)in La Paz and I just saw your channel. We've vacationed in Cabo many times and in researching a move to there I discovered La Paz seemed to be a better option even though we've never been. We're heading down over Thanksgiving weekend to check out land/houses. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks for sharing your story!

Great video, very helpful to get an idea of what things cost. You got a good deal on the house! My next step? My wife and I hope to visit La Paz & Los Cabos this fall.

tnx for sharing ur home is very pretty beautiful 🙂✨Wish u and ur wife joy peace love and blessings from God🙂✨

very nice, Brighton.

another great video, thanks for showing your home . just to let you know , you should separate the coconut palms . eventually they will get huge , palm fronds . can be 15 or more ft long . the should be about 20 ft apart , google this to learn more , great video

My 🏠 house other word!.

Interesting. We own a lot in El Centenario (bought in 2005) that was part of a development. We had planned to build but the economy went south and life intervened. Lot prices were inflated at the time we bought and for the last decade, we had pretty much dismissed the idea of building and planned to sell the lot once the market recovered. Over the last year, we've reconsidered. Planning to spend time in BCS this fall and winter researching builder options.

Muy bonita yo tambien vivo en la paz

That's a yellow crown night heron btw :)

Found Blanca… Than you

I’m so glad that Beverly, from Miles and Coffee introduced us to your channel.🧡🦋🌻

Great tour Brighton! How much spanish do you need to know to live there? Looks like you are creating your own little paradise! Enjoy!

Guess who just put an offer on a new home up in the Centenario hills? Me, baby! I was looking to buy in Todos Santos but that place is way overpriced and I don’t surf. The house I found up in the hills was calling me. Has the same kind of pool you were talking about. Anyway, you got a great deal on yours.

Fantastic!! I love the windows and their light and the roof. Is it hard to keep the roof from leaking? No yard to cut! Agreed on the light fixtures. What a view from the bedroom!! Too bad it will be blocked. Is care taker from U.S.? How is the dog barking and noise here? That is a million dollar property, soooo much better than a trendy condo that looks like everywhere else and a million other places. In seven years I can be your caretaker ;-) -Chad

Would live here over anyplace in the States.

Great video Brighton. I’m Cary in Guadalajara an American Chiropractor living and working in Mx since 2007. My wife and I are strongly considering buying in La Paz and working less. We re in fact going. There again next week the 12th of Oct 2021. We’re going to check out an area called Paraíso Del Mar. Some. Single Fam homes and some. Ground floor condos. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the area. You seem very knowledgeable about la laz. If you know the area we re going to be looking at and have any information about it that would be terrific. I’m familiar with your area and saw some I retesting. Palapa syle round Homes with. Beach views for sale. Also some new homes in your area ranging. From mid to high 200 000. I’m open to buying. Either a single fam home or a condo. Thanks. Once we move to La Paz. We’ll come bang on your. Door with a bottle of Tequila!

Thank you for this video, new follower here, My husband and 2 kids just arrived to La Paz el centro for a month, hoping to like BCS and stay permanently! any advice on the Santa Fe area or around there? Iam lokking for long term rentals but not sure how safe areas are.

Hi! I love your channel! I am trying to make it all work that we relocate to La Paz next year w my family. Do you rent out your house? I want to take my hubby to La Paz in the next month or so for a few days to check out El Centenario...

Hello Brighton, I am Ewa from London Ontario Canada. I was happy to subscribe to you channel. Thank you so much for showing your beautiful home, I love it. If there is a similar one please let your real estate agent know to contact us. Thank you again

Really enjoyed your video. We haven't been to La Paz but seems like a nice area that isn't as commercial as either of the Cabo's. I'm curious was your heart always set on that area or did you explore other parts of Mexico first?

Nice place….question when you travel back from Portland do you usually fly in or drive from Portland Thanks

Paul paid $40000 to build that house in the late 80's. The pool and casita came later. The original palms for construction came from Toto Santos. The posts at the end of the drive to the beach were installed by Paul. Do you still have the tri-colored bougainvillea? Paul was from Ventura, Ca. and lived in that house for many years.

Hey! Enjoying your videos. A lot of great info. My husband and I are from the USA and looking to pre-tire as you call it☺️. We are currently in the process of “buying” land in La Paz and are going to be starting to build a house in a couple years. We are being asked for our SSN from the Mexican authority from our agent. Just curious if you think this is normal and could it possibly be for the fidecomiso? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I have spent many happy hours in your dinning room playing dominoes with Paul and Mikey Taylor

What do you guys do for work? I plan on moving to Mexico in the next few years (home state is Queretaro), and I work in corporate due diligence. How is your experience working from another country? Thanks!

Just started watching your videos....What does it cost to heat a pool?

Using a pvp plastic white pipe system you can now grow year around hydrophonic vegetable plants and the cost is low.

Lovely place! Is there an update to this video?

How about the deed’s on property. Is it 100 yr deed or how does it work?

very nice home.How hot does it get in la paz?

Would you need a temp/work visa to rent the house/room out while you're not there?

Another question.,,, I have read that swimming in LaPaz is not safe because of too many sharks. What do you think about that? We currently live in San Diego, looking towards moving Spring/Summer 2023. We started planning this time last year. Time is speeding by.

Hello from British Columbia, Canada. I thought you lived in Puerto Vallarta. I want to leave Canada in four years and move to Mexico. Not sure where to live in Mexico.

Do you have to pay it all at once or do they do loans down there?

Any problem with the roof?

Wow 👌

how do I purchase property in MX? the ensenada/rosarito area

To get a $20,000 home loan did you have to go through a Mexican bank or an American bank? Was it easy to get?

I am retired, but do not have a huge income... so money is holding me back. While I would love to have a place with a bit of soil for gardening, it doesn't seem to be the type of place that goes for RENT>>>?? Do you ever see small houses available for Rent with a yard? Doesn't need to be right on the beach. Just lower rent. Is Solar common in your area?

How much did you pay for the property ? House and lot

So how much for a property likke this cost now ? thank you.

ive thought about buyng/retirng in mexico a lot. that is what i am doing looking at this vid. one of the giant deterants for me is this thing with bathtubs and the water in general. if the water can make you sick if you drink it, isn't it also unsafe to sit in bathtub full of unknown bacteria water the water thing and bath thing are my highest deterant when i think about retiring in mexico cus i need a hot bath every day or i will perish and i don't like that i would have to go thru the trouble of buying water or thinking about having a drink of water. it seems like it would ruin so much of daily living. my water here in new england is perfect along with a low crime rate, a politcally progressive culture, but food is getting out of sight expensve, heat is simply unaffordable and someday when i retire i would love to ditch the whole trouble of having a car, which is impossible to live without in new england where i am. it is always something. i inherited a beautiful apartment in a very affordable and vibrant city in europe but the air pollution a huge deterant and makes me want to live part time in mexico somewhere for part of the year. 'its always something', rosanne rosanna danna. back to my water question. if you do have a bathtub isn't unsafe to sit the tap water there. oh yeah and your house is marvelous but arent you worried about hurricanes and a changing coastline with global warming.

How far have you come from 1 year?

How do you manage when it rains

Can you recommend some real estate agent we want rent house in La Paz but I can`t found online thank you so much

Good price for a big house 🏠 and very close to the beach, do you know what the Canadians move out?

I would not recommend living near the sea, much less having so many windows. It is dangerous in hurricane season, which by the way is about to begin

Could you help me to buy a house or land in la paz

How hot does it get there

I am in cabo like to talk to you some time soon

Brighton, can you connect me with Rennie, the lady on one of your videos who is in Guadalajara, Mexico? I believe she is an American expat and I think she has a place to rent I would like to talk to her about Reply

27:17 wtf was that? TOO SCARED TO GOOGLE IT!

I WONDER IF YOU WERE ABLE TO FINANCE THE HOUSE WITH YOUR AMERICAN CREDIT, I HEARD THAT IN MEXICO YOU NEED TO PAY REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS ALL IN CASH, THERE ARE NO CREDITS AVAILABLE THERE. I AM WILLING TO MOVE TO MEXICO NEXT YEAR IF POSIBILE
