Wooowww. Thanks for the great video Paul! It was an absolute pleasure and a lot of fun making the video with you! A big thanks to you and Daniela for my stay at terralta 1 "Las Brisas" and for all your guys help with many things including gaining some new and very cool friends! Much love and respect 🙏❤
Awesome video Paul! Nice to meet you on TH-cam Jason- your dog is so cute! Happy you’ve enjoyed staying at “las brisas”! Congratulations on becoming a home owner!! Your house looks great! 😃felizidades!
My wife and I relocated to Morelia, Michoacan two years ago. She's Mexican and I'm from Reno, Nevada. I was never interested in being by the ocean. We actually rented a too large, nearly 4000 sq ft home in a very nice neighborhood, for 8000 pesos ($400 USD) per month. We've had no need for a car yet, UBER or public transportation is efficient and mostly less expensive than a car, especially when considering insurance, etc. Almost all of our shopping can be done within walking distance. We can live easily on my Social Security income, with plenty to save, travel, and entertain. It's proven to be the best move I've ever made! VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽
Russell, if you don’t mind, what neighborhood (what colonia) in Morelia did you find this home in? I’ve seen some nice homes in Altozano, but you practically need a car to get around if you live there. I’d love to visit your neck of the woods to see if I can find something that suits me. Thanks in advance for your response!
Hola. I lived in Seattle for 22 years, Now in Portland. I LOVE Bucerias. I decided to buy a house in Mérida Mexico for my retirement. It is an air bnb at the moment because I still have a couple more years working in the US. Great video.
Hi there, we are also considering Merida, my family is from Jalisco and while I will inherit a house there, we think Merida is more our style. Currently live in Texas and looking forward to taking a trip to Merida and see what it is really like! Good luck!
@@J_Eusebio Hi J! Mérida is full of art, architecture, and amazing cuisine. If you like that sort of thing. ;) I have an air bnb right in Centro on a quiet street if you are looking for a place to stay.
I myself have been pondering the idea of moving to Mexico...the life style there is more relax. Here in the states is so stressful and fast pace. Good for you for doing what makes you happy.
hello 👋 best regards, in case you are interested, I am selling my house (beautiful, new at an excellent price from owner to owner and above all in a beautiful neighborhood). In San Jose los Cabos Baja California Sur. Its beautiful Mexico if you want information contact me here I am at your service.
Great video thank you! If you live in a big city like Monterrey, although most don’t come here unless it’s for work , near me in a small poor Mexican town with very few expats, it’s still fast loud stressful and fairly expensive. Lots of trash. A few gated communities in Monterey none too attractive. i had Mexican friends in this area from rock climbing here previously.. more than anything i want a quiet yard to garden create a habitat and enjoy the mornings with my cats. Paint write play guitar rock climb instead right now I’m feeding 10 plus hungry cats.. 3 dogs and bottle feeding 2 kittens. if you can ignore suffering animals it’s easier. Or accept it. Or live in a place that cares. And i don’t like the claustrophobic nature of all the walls around the houses in the cities.. although right now i am on a little piece of a friend’s property and was used to having a large lot in the states. so we’ll see how it goes. Mountains for me and a little breathing room . ❤️✌🏼⛰️🇲🇽
Great video Paul. Great choice and good for you. People always have their opinion about anything. You can never please them all, but you need to be in tune with yourself!! Follow your gut feeling is so important. I had the same. Back in 1995, I visited Vancouver Canada and wanted to immigrate. Yet I stopped the process because of the influence of friends and family. Took me 9 years to finally make the step. I left Germany for good in 2004. Best decision I ever made. Now, 19 years later, it is time to make the next move. I love Bucerias as well, but prefer PV for me. This is my second winter time in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, and I can't agree more with you. The life here is so beautiful, the people are warm hearted and amazing. The food is incredible and the warm weather round year is what I need and want. Next step is to move here permanently very soon. Viva Mexico
That’s where my dad lives and he’s been there for 20 years to never look back! Now we are considering taking the same step! 🏝️ we love the social life over there! Mexicans are simply AMAZING 🇲🇽💚🤍❤️
Mexican-American dual citizen here with realty experience. 🇺🇸🇲🇽 First the Pro's: I'm really happy for Jason! He seems like a great guy who found what he wanted..where he wanted..and for a price he could afford. What more could ask for?! 😉 Now the Con's: Bucerias is incredibly expensive compared to other beach communities in MX. For example: For what Jason payed for this 1 townhome in Bucerias..In Yucatan (which is rated the safest state in all of MX)..you could purchase 3 of them with even better build quality..more upscale gated community..your own private pool..and a short walking distance to powder white beaches with less traffic and more natural beauty. Which is exactly what I would do because you could rent 2 units and live in one..and therefore have a supplemental income investment that ends up paying for all three units over time. Or..you can hold on to the other two units renting them out until prices go up and sell them for a profit. 💲💲💲 However..I'm sure Jason knew this already and had his reasons for staying in Bucerias..and as long as he's happy and can afford it that's all that matters. 🙂 I just wanted to remind people you have plenty of other options. Great video as usual MTM and take care everyone! ☺
Thanks for the well wishes, much appreciated. Yeah, everybody's pro's and con's are quite different. Such as yours and mine. It's all gravy tho baby. Too each and their own. My experiences in Mexico, professional outlook and personal resources has me smiling from ear to ear. Jalisco and Nayarit are my jam for all the reasons and I wouldn't change a thing. Cuidate mi amigo
Congratulations! My husband and I want to move to Mexico in the near future too. We are also from the PNW. We love Puerto Vallarta and we plan to visit the Lake Chapala area next year too to look around .
Jason, Congratulations on your home purchase and thanks for sharing your journey. You look very happy 😃 and so nice to see how you’ve integrated into the community. 😊
Another great video. Amazing job on camera Jason! We rented the same unit in Terralta 1. My husband also loved the rooftop and spent many hours up there. I love the open space behind your townhouse!
Great video. I lived at Lake Chapala 16 years then to Vallarta 3,I'm returning to about around like you. I sold my properties there. I want to be a tenant😂. I'll look you up!!
Hi my men, good morning. You did the best thing in your life. I wish you the best and you are welcome. I have been here in Melrose park,il near to Chicago por the last 36 years. This year is my last one here and I spect to go down veracruz Mexico not letter then August 2023. Mexico is the best thing in generosity,people welcome,food,places,etc. I wish you the best Jasón and you have here your friend,brother,ans a hug for you. Aaaaa your dog is exelentI love dogs
Right on and much appreciated hermano. Safe travels to you and Veracruz is right on the corner for you! Tacoma says gracias and all the best to you! 🙏😎
New to the channel. I enjoy inspiring stories of those who have made big decisions. I've been to Mazatlan but never knew about this small town. I like the more local scene without Gringo pricing.
Nice video Jason thanks. It brought back many memories as we used to spend the winters in Terralta 3. We also liked to watch the cows and horses behind our place also. It looks like they may have completed those 3 abandoned condos near the entrance. Enjoy your new home.
Thanks for sharing,it helped me to make up my mind to move to Mexico 🇲🇽 also. In 2.5 years retirement is coming soon this is it…Congrats and continue blessings in you and your dogs 🐕 life…☝🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much JR. I initially didn't want to do the video as I am a low profile type of person but decided to do it in hopes that it could help inspire another to make the move. So thanks for sharing that and that alone makes this video well worth it. Cheers and all the best to your future journey down here!
Welcome congratulations , you will do great here with all your work experience ,been here 40 years in the Nayarit area never thought of going back ,permanent resident makes it very easy you can work for someone else or open a business . Best of luck
Jasón your video inspired me My parents immigrated to U.S. from Zacatecas Mexico , when I was a toddler I have enjoy to live here how ever my dream is to come back home I was thinking Merida or Morelia even playa del Carme not sured, after your video I just may check out Bucerias I never herd of it before how ever is beautiful for what can see on your video you picked Bucerias Mexico you could have not picked a better place the people are nice and the food is amazing thanks for sharing your video.
Thank you so much, Teresa. I was inspired by others, so that is why I agreed to do this video with Paul. To keep the inspiration torch lit so I'm super happy to hear that you were inspired. Follow your heart and also take a few different trips/workcations to those different spots to help solidify what area fits your needs and wants the best. Saludos!
I never expected a reply JASON, I see you as a celebrity, youR voice and just the way you carried yourself very peaceful, IM SURED IN NO TIME YOU WILL FIND A BEAUTIFUL SENORITA to make you even happier, I’m sured you are breaking hearts 🥰 such a good looking man serious about life enjoy mi Mexico lindo I querido If I ever get over there I will look for you for coffee or a walk by the beach.
Wow wow wow, hello there. I’m from Bellevue Washington and thinking of moving to Cabo San Lucas México. I’m so proud of you that you did it, how wonderful is that. I am so excited about the future. Have a fantastic weekend 😅
We appreciate the Love Alonda! Great to hear from more local peeps in western washington who have the same thoughts and desires...You will make it happen no doubt!
IF you have a house in the US and you sell it with %20 of that money you can buy a nice house in Mexico and with the rest %80 you can live the rest of your life comfortably seriously
It must take a certain kind of mindset to be able to do this. A couple of my friends dreamed of living on Guam for nearly 30 years. Traveled back and forth several times, etc. to be sure it was the right thing, then sold everything and moved. Two months later they were back because they said they never could get over the feeling of wondering why their vacation was going on for so long.
Hi Jason, Charlie from Boston USA. I just came back from Bucerías last week. I was there for over two months this trip. I got to tell you I started in Teralta one about a year ago . I was in your same townhouse. Literally. I called Joel. I spoke with Daniela and Paul and they got me that unit from Pam. Two weeks in February March 2022 I sat in those hammocks. I liked it so much. I went back in May for two more weeks I recognized the place immediately. And the rooftop views . I am still researching. I will rent for one year And maybe one day, I’ll have the courage to sell my house in Boston. I will be back in October I kept my apartment in Bucerías . Best wishes brother. Say hello to Paul and Daniela for Charlie in Boston. Peace.
Hey Charlie! Thanks for watching the video. You’re the original renter of “Las Brisas”. We have more rentals available now. You can contact Daniela. Info@beachlifemexico.com - Paul
@@MovingToMexiCo thank you Paul. Much appreciated. I actually rented an apartment just in back of Teralta one . I love my neighborhood and I have gotten to know the neighbors. I have been studying Spanish for a couple of months in Bucerías My Spanish is improving. They seem to understand me lol. Only God knows Hall. I arrived back in America this week, but I will return in October for the winter. Thank you for everything Paul and thank you to your family you have all been very gracious and kind with me. As have my New Mexican neighbors. Viva Mexico 🇲🇽 ♥️
Brother OG Charlie...those hammocks tho with the ocean and mountain views with that ocean breeze...forget about it! Las Brisas in the house! Lol Ohhh man. Much respect for the researching. Your due diligence will pay off my og brother. Will do and peace out mi hermano. Saludos 🙏✌
Thank you for this great video. 👍👍👍 I'm a dog lover too, but not wealthy enough to buy real estate. I'll look through your other videos hoping to find a recent one about renting along the coast near Puerto Vallarta. If you haven't got a recent one, perhaps it would make a good topic for a future video. Thanks again!
Mexico and Mexicans rock. We have been coming here for 27 years and it is still a very special place. If you can, why would you still live in a major city in the US.
Nice congrats I currently live in Chula Vista ca my wife and I are currently building a house about 10 minutes south of puerto Nuevo Baja should be completed by April this year I’m posting videos of the progress on my channel Baja boy and Baja girl we are going to have a huge roof top deck with a awesome view of the ocean I’m lucky that my wife is from Mexico she can own land
Hi Jason and thank you for sharing your story, it is quite refreshing to hear all the positive experiences and challenges along your journey. I noticed that you were driving a newer model vehicle and wondering if you nationalized it or if it is just permitted for a short time only?
Great candid video! Enjoyed your journey and congrats on your new home! We are heading down in June from LA to Mexico City to live and enjoy! Not going to buy, hope to find an amazing place to rent… a terrace or rooftop is totally needed! outdoor space ! Will be so glad to leave the stress of this town. It’s gone insane here, sadly. I feel safer in Mexico than in Los Ángeles ! ( even in suburbia !)
Much appreciated and thank you! Yeah I feel you with the craziness that is happening up north everywhere. Very sad indeed. Best of luck and go get you a slice of some Mexico City! Exciting! Saludos
I bought a house on the Tierra Alta track. It was for vacationing. I went for about 5yrs, then I sold it. It would be a great place to live. It just got boring to vacation seeing the same thing.
Hola Jason! just wondering how you are feeling being in Mexico after this much time has passed? I just sold my farm and am having terrible sellers regret and am now fearful of my upcoming move to Bucerias/La Cruz area. Guess I just need some positive vibes.
Hola buenas tardes Geri! I think we all totally get it with those feelings especially with you selling your farm. I absolutely love this area and being in Mexico. Bucerias and La Cruz is such a great combo of towns next to each other, and I often utilize and migrate back and forth. Living here, you have to have a different mindset as you know, but, for those who can absorb and appreciate the change, like me, flourish greatly. I am very happy living here and honestly, it just gets better and better each day as I get more comfortable with the transition of living in another country. The good vibe waves are here to be had....grab a board and catch your wave!! Oh snap, I see one coming now. Gotta go!! 😎🌊✌
@@Ebbandjayflo thank you for the great response. I am bringing two dogs and am worried about them adjusting and finding someone to check on them when I am out and about but I"m sure that will all work out. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and I feel pretty confident this will be great but the waiting part is taking its toll on me. So glad to hear it is getting better and better each day.
I'm glad you finally made the move there. I've seen many parts of Mexico, from the cities, to the mountains ,desert, and east coast and west coast beaches. I never made it to the Puerto Vallarta area. I have a friend from my church who his house here in the North East of the USA. He bout a 2 bedroom house with roof top deck, in Bucerias. He seems to enjoy it and he's fluent in Spanish. Good luck with you home and life and food. I hope you know and or learning Spanish.
My oldest sister moved back to Mexico about 6 yrs ago. We are Mexican but we were raised in the states. Her and her family love living in Mexico. Her daughter perfers living in MX vs the US. If you have the means Mexico is a great place to live. It's beautiful and relaxing.
Hello,I live in London UK, I have been to Mexico multiple times and I know several states but I have never been there, it looks like a true paradise. Could you give me an indication of how much a house like where you live now costs, please? Is there an English speaking community?
There is a range that goes from about 150k to 400k for homes similar to this one. A lot depends on the neighborhood and condition of the home. Send me an email if you’re interested in learning more. Info@movingtomexi.co
Wow I always thought it was too dangerous to drive through Mexico from the US. It’s eye opening to see this video. My husbands Colombian, we’ve driven all throughout Colombia, but he won’t even go to Mexico bc he believes it’s too dangerous, like Colombia in the 90’s. This video changed my perspective a bit.
@@albertrivieramaya7953 Yes, agreed. It can be dangerous in some areas just like in the United States. Do some homework and have a plan when traveling. Use common sense as well but the people overall here in Mexico are quite amazing and beautiful.
@@alalesc3796 Hes never been to Mexico, he’s only seen the news!!! Where in Colombia is it dangerous?! It’s only dangerous in the very remote areas where there still is guerrilla, where much of my husbands family still lives, but most of Colombia is NOT dangerous anymore.
@@LovelyLaureness just to give you a real perspective on this matter, Mexico is full of Colombians living in Mexico and all of them say this all the time, Colombia is very dangerous in Mexico you feel safe. I’m not going to argue with the ones that know how it is.
Very cool place most def. The people here are second to none. Amazing. This area actually has a lot of great hospitals and doctors of all sorts here. One of the reasons why I really like this area. Medications are available and are cheaper than the United States. I am still figuring out the health care system and options to me but with the help from my contacts ( Paul, Mariana, Andy and various new friends) that I have now, I am getting it all sorted out slowly but surely.
Lol of COURSE Tacoma enjoys his life there…he looks like he’s at least part Chihuahua! Glad you’re loving your new life…I think I’d do it in a heartbeat…
Thanks Sue. Yes, Tacoma is enjoying the sun, laid back vibes, great culture and carne asada lol He is half chihuahua and half italian greyhound. Cheers amiga
@@TingTingalingy No, but several years ago, I had the experience of visiting Mexico three separate times. (Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Puerto Vallarta) Cheers! ❤
Thanks! Bucerias wasn't that bad, honestly. It was a concern for me as well. Still fireworks, of course, at times, but I was pleasantly surprised with way less firework noise than anticipated.
I moved down to Baja last year and the day before I left I went shopping at the Hoa Viet Market in Winnetka in the San Fernando Valley of LA for some non perishable curry pastes and spices. I recently made a big batch of some chicken curry in my well used and seasoned wok and my Mexican neighbors loved it so much they are all demanding an encore! One of my best friends in Florida married a Thai women who is the most incredible chef. I will have to pick her brain for when I run out. I have to learn her recipe for Tom Kha Gai. Don't wait the time is never just right. Best move I've ever made! Buena Suerte!
Hahaha It's hard to beat some SE asian food whilst here in Mexico as it is harder to come by. Smoked brisket bahn mi will be in full effect next season lol
Very informative!!! Thinking of moving to Guadalajara myself. Question, I see your Subaru in the video, did you legalize it in Mx? I understand you can only drive a us car for 6 months. If you did, how much did it cost to import it???
You generally need a Temporary Vehicle Importation Permit (TIP). The qualifications and requirements may vary, so it's best to check with the Mexican consulate or official sources for the most up-to-date information. The cost of the permit can also vary depending on the duration of your stay and the type of vehicle you have. Again, it's recommended to consult official sources for the latest fees and requirements.
Gracias Bruce. Solar panels is actually something I will want to add soon. Some of my neighbors and a few friends here have added solar panels. Very reasonable cost apparently and seems like a no brainer. Agreed about the nature aspect. Sweet little deal to have that behind me.
I stayed out there for a while many years ago and look forward to getting back there for a visit. Pretty cool area no doubt Jose so thanks for the idea!
I was looking at the website of the rentals. Wayyyy to expensive for Mexico. Those are Vancouver, BC rent prices. There is much cheaper available in Mexico.
Great Vid. My dad is headed to Ixtapap Mex to get his Permanent residency. He has done a ton of research but I am always looking for more information to help him with his journey. Is Jason looking into or maybe he already has his residency, any thoughts, or vids on getting your permanent residency? Congrats Jason on your new life in Mex.
We did a couple of videos with a local immigration lawyer and spoke about different residency programs. Maybe you will find it helpful. The BEST way to move to Mexico in 2023! (Part One) th-cam.com/video/sSEenwPlscg/w-d-xo.html

Nice commercial for Bucerias and outstanding production quality!
Thank you Tom!!
New to the channel. I enjoy inspiring stories of those who have made big decisions. I've been to Mazatlan but never knew about this small town. I like the more local scene without Gringo pricing.
Thank you for joining the channel. More inspiring stories to come 😉
Nice video Jason thanks. It brought back many memories as we used to spend the winters in Terralta 3. We also liked to watch the cows and horses behind our place also. It looks like they may have completed those 3 abandoned condos near the entrance. Enjoy your new home.
Yes! Appreciate that! Coffee whilst cows and horses are a grazing....Let's go!
Un video con mucha seriedad y sinceridad, muchas gracias.
Great vid! Photography on point. Great music. Fantastic interview
Thank you Albert!
Enjoy your new life, Jason, and welcome to Mexico!
Mucho gracias!
Thanks for sharing,it helped me to make up my mind to move to Mexico 🇲🇽 also. In 2.5 years retirement is coming soon this is it…Congrats and continue blessings in you and your dogs 🐕 life…☝🏽👏🏽
Gracias!
Thank you so much JR. I initially didn't want to do the video as I am a low profile type of person but decided to do it in hopes that it could help inspire another to make the move. So thanks for sharing that and that alone makes this video well worth it. Cheers and all the best to your future journey down here!
That ol Jason is a cool man ,very tranquil. 🙏🌷☮️🇲🇽
He’s a great guy.
I built my house here in 2008 on the Pacific coast. Best decision I ever made was to live in Mexico. Thanks for the great video.
That’s sounds amazing.
Congratulations on pulling the trigger on your dream home in Mexico Jason. Look forward to seeing you around town.
Mucho gracias Jim. Much appreciated and definitely say hi when we run into each other in town.

Jasón your video inspired me
My parents immigrated to
U.S. from Zacatecas Mexico , when I was a toddler I have enjoy to live here how ever my dream is to come back home
I was thinking Merida or Morelia even playa del Carme not sured, after your video I just may check out Bucerias I never herd of it before how ever is beautiful for what can see on your video you picked Bucerias Mexico you could have not picked a better place the people are nice and the food is amazing thanks for sharing your video.
Very cool Teresa. Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much, Teresa. I was inspired by others, so that is why I agreed to do this video with Paul. To keep the inspiration torch lit so I'm super happy to hear that you were inspired. Follow your heart and also take a few different trips/workcations to those different spots to help solidify what area fits your needs and wants the best. Saludos!
I never expected a reply JASON, I see you as a celebrity, youR voice and just the way you carried yourself very peaceful,

My plan is to go back and teach English to folks,
Wow wow wow, hello there. I’m from Bellevue Washington and thinking of moving to Cabo San Lucas México. I’m so proud of you that you did it, how wonderful is that. I am so excited about the future. Have a fantastic weekend 😅
We appreciate the Love Alonda! Great to hear from more local peeps in western washington who have the same thoughts and desires...You will make it happen no doubt!
I'm so jealous. You're living my dream life. I hope to do the same next year.
Thanks for this video! ❤
Gracias!
Congratulations buddy, that was a very good decision, Mexico it’s beautiful
Gracias amigo. It's already paying hefty dividends!
IF you have a house in the US and you sell it with %20 of that money you can buy a nice house in Mexico and with the rest %80 you can live the rest of your life comfortably seriously
Another good option is to rent your home in the US and live in Mexico.
So nice, I like his attitud, bienvenido...
Gracias!
Enjoy your new experience in Bucerias, Great pad-awesome purchase!
I appreciate that, thanks!
Congratulations on your new house.
Gracias Susan! 🙏
So cool brother, I'm so proud of you!!! You're always the best yassss....
👏🏼
SISTER!! Ahhh, thank you so much!! That means so much coming from you because...your actually the best!! Yasssssss 🌞💚🌴
@@Ebbandjayflo 🙌🌻💕🙏☀️😍🏡
Amazing!! Sending love and good vibes from Federal Way, Wa! Your an inspiration Jason!! YOLO! ❤
Ahhh, kind words and very cool of you for saying that Paris! Thanks you so much! Federal Way has all kinds of great food! YOLO mi amiga! Salud 🍻❤
It must take a certain kind of mindset to be able to do this. A couple of my friends dreamed of living on Guam for nearly 30 years. Traveled back and forth several times, etc. to be sure it was the right thing, then sold everything and moved. Two months later they were back because they said they never could get over the feeling of wondering why their vacation was going on for so long.
That’s pretty funny.
Interesting. That seems like one hec of a great problem if you ask me! 😎
Excellent videos 📹 congratulations!!!.... Keep sharing fantastic histories. 👏
Gracias!
Good luck to you and your little dog ❤
Gracias! ❤
Hi Jason, Charlie from Boston USA. I just came back from Bucerías last week. I was there for over two months this trip. I got to tell you I started in Teralta one about a year ago . I was in your same townhouse. Literally. I called Joel. I spoke with Daniela and Paul and they got me that unit from Pam. Two weeks in February March 2022 I sat in those hammocks. I liked it so much. I went back in May for two more weeks I recognized the place immediately. And the rooftop views . I am still researching. I will rent for one year And maybe one day, I’ll have the courage to sell my house in Boston. I will be back in October I kept my apartment in Bucerías . Best wishes brother. Say hello to Paul and Daniela for Charlie in Boston. Peace.
Hey Charlie! Thanks for watching the video. You’re the original renter of “Las Brisas”. We have more rentals available now. You can contact Daniela. Info@beachlifemexico.com - Paul
@@MovingToMexiCo thank you Paul. Much appreciated. I actually rented an apartment just in back of Teralta one . I love my neighborhood and I have gotten to know the neighbors. I have been studying Spanish for a couple of months in Bucerías My Spanish is improving. They seem to understand me lol. Only God knows Hall. I arrived back in America this week, but I will return in October for the winter. Thank you for everything Paul and thank you to your family you have all been very gracious and kind with me. As have my New Mexican neighbors. Viva Mexico 🇲🇽 ♥️
Brother OG Charlie...those hammocks tho with the ocean and mountain views with that ocean breeze...forget about it! Las Brisas in the house! Lol Ohhh man. Much respect for the researching. Your due diligence will pay off my og brother. Will do and peace out mi hermano. Saludos 🙏✌
@@Ebbandjayflo Gracias Jason. Mi corazon esta en Bucerias. See ya soon 🇲🇽
Thank you for this great video. 👍👍👍 I'm a dog lover too, but not wealthy enough to buy real estate. I'll look through your other videos hoping to find a recent one about renting along the coast near Puerto Vallarta. If you haven't got a recent one, perhaps it would make a good topic for a future video. Thanks again!
Send us an email info@beachlifemexico.com for rentals
Mexico and Mexicans rock. We have been coming here for 27 years and it is still a very special place. If you can, why would you still live in a major city in the US.
Congratulations to you!❤
Nice congrats I currently live in Chula Vista ca my wife and I are currently building a house about 10 minutes south of puerto Nuevo Baja should be completed by April this year I’m posting videos of the progress on my channel Baja boy and Baja girl we are going to have a huge roof top deck with a awesome view of the ocean I’m lucky that my wife is from Mexico she can own land
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jason and thank you for sharing your story, it is quite refreshing to hear all the positive experiences and challenges along your journey. I noticed that you were driving a newer model vehicle and wondering if you nationalized it or if it is just permitted for a short time only?
Thank you. Jason didn’t nationalize his car. It’s attached to his visa.
I love Bucerias too, although I lost my baseball cap there!
I’ll keep an eye out for it 😉
I think I found it and am totally wearing it! lol 😎
Welcome to Nayarit Bro, glad it was your choice, hope you can explore more.
👏🏼
Right on bro, thank you. Looking forward to the exploration! ✌
I’ve been to Bucerias many times. Great place
Yes 👏🏼
Great candid video! Enjoyed your journey and congrats on your new home! We are heading down in June from LA to Mexico City to live and enjoy! Not going to buy, hope to find an amazing place to rent… a terrace or rooftop is totally needed! outdoor space ! Will be so glad to leave the stress of this town. It’s gone insane here, sadly. I feel safer in Mexico than in Los Ángeles ! ( even in suburbia !)
Best of luck to you! Thanks for watching 😃
Much appreciated and thank you! Yeah I feel you with the craziness that is happening up north everywhere. Very sad indeed. Best of luck and go get you a slice of some Mexico City! Exciting! Saludos
In Mexico city I recommend Coyoacán area
I bought a house on the Tierra Alta track. It was for vacationing. I went for about 5yrs, then I sold it. It would be a great place to live. It just got boring to vacation seeing the same thing.
Gracias
Wonderful!! Congratulations 🎉
Gracias 🙏🏼
Gracias!
Good decision
What a nice guy. Thank you for great info. Good success to you!
Gracias!
Congratulation on your achievement
I always thought it would be dangerous to drive through Mexico
It is dangerous, according to the US State Dept.
It's as dangerous as driving anywhere else anything can happen anywhere on earth.
Bucerias near to puerto vallarta and punta mita
Correct
Nice video Paul! Nice narration from Jason!
Thank you!
Hola Jason! just wondering how you are feeling being in Mexico after this much time has passed? I just sold my farm and am having terrible sellers regret and am now fearful of my upcoming move to Bucerias/La Cruz area. Guess I just need some positive vibes.
Hola buenas tardes Geri! I think we all totally get it with those feelings especially with you selling your farm. I absolutely love this area and being in Mexico. Bucerias and La Cruz is such a great combo of towns next to each other, and I often utilize and migrate back and forth. Living here, you have to have a different mindset as you know, but, for those who can absorb and appreciate the change, like me, flourish greatly. I am very happy living here and honestly, it just gets better and better each day as I get more comfortable with the transition of living in another country. The good vibe waves are here to be had....grab a board and catch your wave!! Oh snap, I see one coming now. Gotta go!! 😎🌊✌
@@Ebbandjayflo thank you for the great response. I am bringing two dogs and am worried about them adjusting and finding someone to check on them when I am out and about but I"m sure that will all work out. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and I feel pretty confident this will be great but the waiting part is taking its toll on me. So glad to hear it is getting better and better each day.
Buenos Dias Paul
Muy buenos dias!
You will have a better life in Mexico!
🙌
Hey, congrats, you look happy and very at peace! Hope to get there one day myself man!
Ohhh man, feeling very at peace and thank you very much! You will make it happen friend! 😎
I'm glad you finally made the move there. I've seen many parts of Mexico, from the cities, to the mountains ,desert, and east coast and west coast beaches. I never made it to the Puerto Vallarta area. I have a friend from my church who his house here in the North East of the USA. He bout a 2 bedroom house with roof top deck, in Bucerias. He seems to enjoy it and he's fluent in Spanish. Good luck with you home and life and food. I hope you know and or learning Spanish.
Thanks for sharing
Right on, thanks Alex. Necesito aprender mas pero poco a poco.
Thats good man hope everything works out well and you are living Happy in Mexico
Thanks for sharing
Praise God that you made the drive safely! I want to move too but my job will not allow me to work remotely in Mexico
My oldest sister moved back to Mexico about 6 yrs ago. We are Mexican but we were raised in the states. Her and her family love living in Mexico. Her daughter perfers living in MX vs the US. If you have the means Mexico is a great place to live. It's beautiful and relaxing.
Thanks for sharing.
Congrats!!!!!!
Hello,I live in London UK, I have been to Mexico multiple times and I know several states but I have never been there, it looks like a true paradise. Could you give me an indication of how much a house like where you live now costs, please? Is there an English speaking community?
There is a range that goes from about 150k to 400k for homes similar to this one. A lot depends on the neighborhood and condition of the home. Send me an email if you’re interested in learning more. Info@movingtomexi.co
Wow I always thought it was too dangerous to drive through Mexico from the US. It’s eye opening to see this video. My husbands Colombian, we’ve driven all throughout Colombia, but he won’t even go to Mexico bc he believes it’s too dangerous, like Colombia in the 90’s. This video changed my perspective a bit.
It is still dangerous in some areas.
@@albertrivieramaya7953 Yes, agreed. It can be dangerous in some areas just like in the United States. Do some homework and have a plan when traveling. Use common sense as well but the people overall here in Mexico are quite amazing and beautiful.
Being Colombian he was afraid in mexico?! Colombia is still dangerous. A lot of TH-camrs travel through Mexico in vans, campers….etc.
@@alalesc3796 Hes never been to Mexico, he’s only seen the news!!! Where in Colombia is it dangerous?! It’s only dangerous in the very remote areas where there still is guerrilla, where much of my husbands family still lives, but most of Colombia is NOT dangerous anymore.
@@LovelyLaureness just to give you a real perspective on this matter, Mexico is full of Colombians living in Mexico and all of them say this all the time, Colombia is very dangerous in Mexico you feel safe. I’m not going to argue with the ones that know how it is.
looks like a cool place are doctors and medications affordable
Very cool place most def. The people here are second to none. Amazing. This area actually has a lot of great hospitals and doctors of all sorts here. One of the reasons why I really like this area. Medications are available and are cheaper than the United States. I am still figuring out the health care system and options to me but with the help from my contacts ( Paul, Mariana, Andy and various new friends) that I have now, I am getting it all sorted out slowly but surely.
Lol of COURSE Tacoma enjoys his life there…he looks like he’s at least part Chihuahua! Glad you’re loving your new life…I think I’d do it in a heartbeat…
Thanks for sharing! 😃
Thanks Sue. Yes, Tacoma is enjoying the sun, laid back vibes, great culture and carne asada lol He is half chihuahua and half italian greyhound. Cheers amiga
Thanks Paul, Great video!
Thank you! Thanks for watching 😃
You need to settle down now😊
Congratulations Jason! Mexico is a beautiful country! Very happy for you and all who found themselves in such a welcoming and cultural rich place. 😍
@@TingTingalingy No, but several years ago, I had the experience of visiting Mexico three separate times. (Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Puerto Vallarta) Cheers! ❤
Fantastic video as always. Congrats Jason.
Thank you!
Agreed. Paul's flow is great to be around and he is a genius behind the camara and with his producing skills. Thanks Jodi!
Thank you Paul!!!
De nada! Thanks for watching.
Jason congrats . I have a chihuahua too and was wondering about the fireworks noise level in Bucuerias . Thanks .
Thanks! Bucerias wasn't that bad, honestly. It was a concern for me as well. Still fireworks, of course, at times, but I was pleasantly surprised with way less firework noise than anticipated.
@@Ebbandjayflo Good news ! Thanks for the quick reply .
For that price you get a dog house in LA or San Diego, congrats... 🐶🐶
Gracias 🙏🏼
Hahaha True that Hector. Gracias amigo
Lucky u 👍😁🏝☀️
Viva Mexico ❤
❤😎
Key word 'single' dodged a bullet there friend!
👍🏼
Yes, I'll be coming to Mexico, but first I want Jason's family recipes. 😎
Hehe. He makes a really good brisket sandwich.
I moved down to Baja last year and the day before I left I went shopping at the Hoa Viet Market in Winnetka in the San Fernando Valley of LA for some non perishable curry pastes and spices. I recently made a big batch of some chicken curry in my well used and seasoned wok and my Mexican neighbors loved it so much they are all demanding an encore! One of my best friends in Florida married a Thai women who is the most incredible chef. I will have to pick her brain for when I run out. I have to learn her recipe for Tom Kha Gai. Don't wait the time is never just right. Best move I've ever made! Buena Suerte!
Hahaha It's hard to beat some SE asian food whilst here in Mexico as it is harder to come by. Smoked brisket bahn mi will be in full effect next season lol
@@Ebbandjayflo At least you're still in a country that appreciates cilantro...
Welcome to mexico
Gracias! 🙏
Very informative!!! Thinking of moving to Guadalajara myself. Question, I see your Subaru in the video, did you legalize it in Mx? I understand you can only drive a us car for 6 months. If you did, how much did it cost to import it???
You generally need a Temporary Vehicle Importation Permit (TIP). The qualifications and requirements may vary, so it's best to check with the Mexican consulate or official sources for the most up-to-date information. The cost of the permit can also vary depending on the duration of your stay and the type of vehicle you have. Again, it's recommended to consult official sources for the latest fees and requirements.
Are the Terraltas furnished? Also are there rentals or only for purchase?
Furnishing depends on the owner. If you’re interested in renting, send an email to info@beachlifemexico.com
Great job Paul and Jason. Jason your house looks very nice does it have solar panels? Like the fact that there is nothing behind you expect nature.
Thank you Bruce. I don’t think there are any solar panels. That would be a good addition.
Gracias Bruce. Solar panels is actually something I will want to add soon. Some of my neighbors and a few friends here have added solar panels. Very reasonable cost apparently and seems like a no brainer. Agreed about the nature aspect. Sweet little deal to have that behind me.
Love your video very informative
Thank you!
at 8.22 Someone on the bottom of the pool hope they where ok?
Hehe
Head down to Barra de Navidad for a weekend. Hope you enjoy it out there.
I stayed out there for a while many years ago and look forward to getting back there for a visit. Pretty cool area no doubt Jose so thanks for the idea!
Viva mexico mi amigo
I was looking at the website of the rentals. Wayyyy to expensive for Mexico. Those are Vancouver, BC rent prices. There is much cheaper available in Mexico.
Thanks for checking us out Doug. Our prices are competitive for our little corner of Mexico.
Vancouver one bedroom is 2500$ now. A closet is 1000$.
Great Vid. My dad is headed to Ixtapap Mex to get his Permanent residency. He has done a ton of research but I am always looking for more information to help him with his journey. Is Jason looking into or maybe he already has his residency, any thoughts, or vids on getting your permanent residency? Congrats Jason on your new life in Mex.
We did a couple of videos with a local immigration lawyer and spoke about different residency programs. Maybe you will find it helpful. The BEST way to move to Mexico in 2023! (Part One)
