Jose Novelo did a good job of helping me get my 4-year temp residency in Mexico. No income or asset statements needed. Sidestepped that big headache. You qualify if you've visited Mexico 2022 or earlier. Thanks Jose!
@@JoseArteagaTravels thanks Jose. I really like Merida. Weather is about the same as Dallas, Texas where I moved from. So hot but not unbearably hot. I might move there in a couple years. Sooner, if the water problem in Mexico City gets worse
I love the small pool for the house. Christian loves to swim and she actually trains in an Olympic Size Pool with others. It works out perfectly! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Jose and David for those Beautiful Home Tours.. I finally made it from New York to Merida so now living with my daughter who has been here in Merida for a little over 1 year❤ I Love Merida Mexico🙏🏽
I really love the little house that this video started out with ... mostly because I am looking for something small... I toured a similar home in Puebla area that had just been built, this was late 2023, and it was only $52,000 at that time. I wish I had purchased it. I think these sorts of homes will only increase in value as more people move into Mexico. Does this area have HOA rules? Just curious about that.. I guess any gated areas have something similar to that. THANK YOU guys for showing us around.
Glad to hear you loved the tour! The first place we visited which does have some HOA rules but i can assure you they are not as strict as they are in the USA. It is just a basic set of rules and guidelines to make sure it all stays nice as shown. Depending on the property will depend on whether or not there are HOA fees or maintenance Fees or no Fees at all. We let you know in the video which properties have fees and how much they are. Thanks for sharing!
In Merida the Fresh water comes from JAPAY aka the City similar to how it is in the USA and it is taken to the Roof where the Cisterns usually are. It is a different system depending on the part of Mexico you are in. Here in Merida people either get it from the City aka Japay or if they live away from the city they have wells. There is tons of Fresh underground water in these parts.
Actually if the house has a pressurized water system using a pump there has to be a cistern in front near where Japay delivers. There has to be a large amount of water stored for the pump to fill the pressure tank or else the pump would suck all the water from the neighbors. With a system like that, here the tinaco on the roof becomes the source of water during a power outage via a one way valve and gravity.
There is so much left out about these homes, and Merida itself. There are no thresholds on entry doors, so bugs, scorpions, tarantulas, giant cockroaches, snakes, can just stroll right in. Neither the exterior or interior doors fit properly because for some reason routing out the door hinges on both the door and the frame isn't done. So none of the doors fit properly. It doesn't matter how much you spend, it will still be an issue. You'll have to hire an expat carpenter to fix these issues. Grout isn't used on the tile floors or showers, they just use plaster. So you'll have big dirty patches in it (you can see the discolored grout in many of the floor shots). This is a major gripe of mine also. And never buy a place with tiled sinks and countertops. The tile fails, and they fall apart. No carport is also a very bad idea. When it's windy, tree branches and construction trash will hit your car(s). You'll also have to exit or enter your car in the rain. Good luck bringing in groceries in a tropical storm. Big windows seem like a great idea, and they do let in light. But, they also let in heat. Most Mexicans don't really care about air conditioning, and only use it when it's super hot, or at night to sleep comfortably. Your electric bill will be huge if you're an American or Canadian used to the freezing AC you had at home. Remember, there's zero insulation in these places. If a place doesn't have at least 6-8 solar panels, don't buy it unless you want to pay to install it. Then it's a huge nightmare dealing with CFE (the electric utility company). Plan on 2-8 months getting it done, especially if you don't speak Spanish. No one sits on their rooftop unless you have a covered area, and a pool. Even at night when it's cooler, the mosquitos will eat you alive. And Dengue Fever is prevalent in Merida. So, just getting a mosquito bite can cause severe illness, and death. This area is known for Dengue Fever. Drinking water. You saw the garrafons (22 liter water containers) in one shot. That's your water, which each weighs 44 lbs. or so. So unless you're fit and young, you'll need a different drinking water source. You can install an RO system under your sink (if that's available) so you don't have to deal with water deliveries, or lifting these big jugs. You can also install a total house RO system, but it's pretty expensive. Either can be connected to a fridge with an ice maker, so you don't have to go to Oxxo for ice. You'll also want a water softener, because Merida's water is super high in calcium and other minerals. This causes soap to not be effective, and will destroy your clothes and hair, and buildup in your pipes will lead to having to replace all the plumbing. I've seen this happen to entire apartment complexes where they have a common water tinaca (roof cistern). If dogs barking 24/7 annoys you, don't move here. We finally employed dog whistle videos from YT to combat the constantly barking dogs. But they eventually just get used to it. Dogs barking is never going to stop, because no one does anything about it. It's not like the States where you call the cops and they deal with it. If you're a gringo and move here, I advise you to not buy a car, just use Uber. You WILL get stopped frequently, and gouged for a bribe, Women, especially attractive ones, will be stopped constantly. Misogyny is the rule here, not the exception with the cops. I do, however, applaud most men here for not acting like they've never seen a woman before. It was one of the things we did appreciate. If you're involved in an accident, no matter who's at fault, again, if you're a gringo, or even a Mexican from another state, you will be the one responsible for damages. The cops in Merida will always stand with residents with any traffic accidents. After you've visited some of the Mayan ruins, the museums, and experienced the big market downtown, that's pretty much the end of the things to do here. Merida isn't a party town. It's boring. Progeso is a lot more fun, with it's big boardwalk, tons of restaurants and cantinas, it was our favorite place to go for a good time. It's about 30 minutes from Merida, about a 50 dollar round trip with Uber. There are many places where it's impossible to go for a walk. Outdoor activities, like hiking, biking, going for a walk in the countryside, are all pretty much non-existent unless you don't mind risking your life on an 8 inch wide sidewalk. And here's the big one that's never discussed. The exchange rate, lawyers fees, and the waiting periods. They're comparing the prices on the current exchange rate, which is almost 20 pesos to the dollar. Great if you get that, but you're still going to get gouged out of 2-3 pesos per dollar on the exchange with your lawyer's holding company. You wire transfer money from the US into this account, and use that to pay for the house. You can lose 10-20 grand if that rate drops to 16 or 17 pesos per dollar, depending on the peso price of the house. Houses are always in pesos, so they have the advantage over you, always. Lawyers fees vary dramatically, and efficiency is sketchy at best. I can say with certainty to not use Easy Legal, they're unreliable, and won't hesitate to bend you over. As a safety measure, take that US dollar amount, and add 30 percent to it. Even then you may still lose more money. People's attitudes here vary by area. Up north, even the locals can be very standoffish, and snooty. If you're a gringo, you'll most likely be ignored by middle aged people, given the stink eye by young adults, and treated like a second class citizen at many stores and shops. Older people were usually always very nice. In Centro, where there's a big population of expats, the gringos there are insufferable. Total jerks who think they own everyone, and think they are better than you just because they've been there for years. As for us, we lived in Temozón, and were the only gringos in the area. We never saw anyone else other than locals the 2 years we lived there. To wrap it up, if you're a wimpy US or Canadian citizen used to all the modern conveniences, stay home. You'll spend a fortune trying to live like you did in your home country. Everything, especially furniture and household goods are triple the price they are in the States due to taxes and import fees. And everyone in Merida that you deal with will be looking at a way to screw you, it's just the way it is. And when we lived there, racism and a "Yankee Go Home" attitude was getting very popular.
@@JoseArteagaTravels I didn't mean for any of this to come off as mean. It's just that people seem to not look at the reality of things (like we did initially). I appreciate your pointing out not to live like you did in the States there. Hopefully I can come back again now that I know what to expect.

Hi Jose, thank you for your video. I was in Merida in June, as well as in Progreso. The houses are nice but need to be renovated. Could you please show us more traditional Mexican style, or Spanish, on one level: no stairs. Thank you.
It is up to the homeowner if they want solar panels or not. They also require maintenance and some people might not be interested in solar panels. Either way if one wants them they can get them with their new home. Thanks for sharing!
All the prices for the properties are displayed in the video. You can also check out the description of the video for direct links to each property and contact information
I love this video guys. My wife and I are very familiar with Merida, my wife's father resides in Conchal. We plan to build a custom home in Merida not too far from shops and stores and wondering if you can help us with this process. We lived in Playa Del Carmen for 6 months just to see if we liked the area but we decided it wasn't for us due to the high prices and lack of infrastructure. We will consider custom building in a provada ( sub-division) as well. My only deal-breaker is being next door to barking dogs which is quite common in Mexico. We already have our Temp residency in Mexico and are looking to obtain our passports through real estate which I'm sure will take some time. Let me know if you can help. Thanks
Thank you for the kind words! For more information you can contact Jose Novelo Directly I'm sure he can help you guys out jmnovelo@mxlegalandtaxes.com Jose Novelo's Website www.peninsulapremium.com/
@@fpanadero2626 Of course US Citizens can buy! Not quite sure what you mean. If you purchase a home within 50 kilometers of the Coast then you will have to do so through a Fidelcomiso or by setting up a Mexican Corporation.

Fantastic tours.. I can’t get over the prices… as Americans can we own property??? What would the HOAs be for the last one??? You are doing a great job, both of you… I remember seeing your vlog years ago and I was feeling the same way about getting the F-- out of the USA… still feeling that way and I am making preparations to do just that… trying to stack up some loot before retirement… Thanks so much for keeping us informed….Blessings to you and your family my friend…
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Not quite sure what the HOA Fees were on the last property my apologies. As for owning property as an American yes you can. You can own it through a bank trust or a Corporation in your name. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages. You can watch this video for more information.

Very Far. This is all flat low laying Jungle. You have to go all the way to Chiapas or Guatemala but those might not be high enough for you. In which case the closest are would have to be Oaxaca.
Hi Jose my family lives in Merida, they are natives of there. They are saying they have alot of concerns with the gov there. I tell them I have more concerns with the US lol. Everything is so expensive in Florida, I know quality of life is better there. What can you tell me about that
I can say A LOT about that! I honestly have too much to say to just write in a comment. My advice to you is to check out my past videos and livestreams for more context on how I really feel about everything. Viva Mexico!
Yeah that house is really awesome and close to the neighborhood I live in and it's in a really great spot in my opinion. I would just add solar panels on that large roof and not worry about the energy bill ever 😅 Thanks for sharing!
@@JoseArteagaTravels usually construction companies are attached to manage, administrate or own partnership. My question is: is the construction company is attached to administrate forever or the community will be having it’s own committee of representatives?
Hi Jose, Great video. I’m so impressed with the prices, especially for someone like me, who’s a single Senior on a fixed income from relatively low SSA benefits. How convenient is the nearest airport? Do any of the houses come as ranch styles or no stairs? Do you have an idea of how often the HOA fees would possibly increase? Can One be purchased as an income property or is that not allowed in a gated community? Btw, I don’t speak any Spanish, but I know a little Portuguese from having traveled to Brasil over twenty years ago. Oh, btw, is the water in the houses filtered so that the water can be drunk without needing a buy bottled water all the time? Thank you, 😀 Pam in Chicago
Those are all great questions! You can get them answered yourself by watching my videos or if you'd prefer you can set up a paid 1 on 1 consultation with me and I can answer all those questions and more! If interested here is the link for more information www.josearteaga.com/youtube-consultations
Thank you so much for letting me know! As you know I'm not a profesional it's a work in progress! I used to be much worse. slowly but surely I'm getting there! Trying to get better one video at a time! Thanks for putting up with me!
I really enjoy these house tours. I’m looking forward to more. Thanks Jose! By the way 30 million (for the penthouse) is, as of today, one million 512 thousand dollars, not 15 million dollars.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the tour! As for the price on the penthouse, Jose just misspoke in the video it was corrected when I put the prices on the bottom of the screen. Thanks for the info!
I like the 3rd house, but no pool 😢😢😢, My favorite homes in Mexico are the traditional Mexican homes, I love the tile, colorful decor, so much history in the older traditional homes! ❤❤❤❤

I do believe the tanks under the drive way is a fresh water cistern.
In Merida the Fresh water comes from JAPAY aka the City similar to how it is in the USA and it is taken to the Roof where the Cisterns usually are. It is a different system depending on the part of Mexico you are in. Here in Merida people either get it from the City aka Japay or if they live away from the city they have wells. There is tons of Fresh underground water in these parts.
@@JoseArteagaTravels good to know. That’s a heck of a difference in experience if you open that cover depending on the regions. lol 😂
Actually if the house has a pressurized water system using a pump there has to be a cistern in front near where Japay delivers. There has to be a large amount of water stored for the pump to fill the pressure tank or else the pump would suck all the water from the neighbors. With a system like that, here the tinaco on the roof becomes the source of water during a power outage via a one way valve and gravity.
@@meatgravylardexactly is how its setup where i visit. Tinaco up top fed by cistern under driveway.
Good prices. Ajijic is high. Good video guys

The second to last home was shown on a video of yours a year ago. Is it still available?
Yup that home is still availble and waiting for you!
Hey Jose got a question for you. If I was living in Merida, how far would I need to drive if me and some friends wanted to go hiking up a mountain?
Very Far. This is all flat low laying Jungle. You have to go all the way to Chiapas or Guatemala but those might not be high enough for you. In which case the closest are would have to be Oaxaca.
@@JoseArteagaTravels awesome, thanks!
What’s up with material from Italy? 🤨
Some people prefer High End craftsmanship and materials such as Italian marble.
Hi Jose my family lives in Merida, they are natives of there. They are saying they have alot of concerns with the gov there. I tell them I have more concerns with the US lol. Everything is so expensive in Florida, I know quality of life is better there. What can you tell me about that
I can say A LOT about that! I honestly have too much to say to just write in a comment. My advice to you is to check out my past videos and livestreams for more context on how I really feel about everything. Viva Mexico!
I loved the house. It's massive, and the upstairs apartment is awesome. I imagine the AC bill is huge.
Yeah that house is really awesome and close to the neighborhood I live in and it's in a really great spot in my opinion. I would just add solar panels on that large roof and not worry about the energy bill ever 😅 Thanks for sharing!
Hello you guys, who is running Administration? Are colonos be able to choose their own?
Not quite sure what you are referring to
@@JoseArteagaTravels usually construction companies are attached to manage, administrate or own partnership.
My question is: is the construction company is attached to administrate forever or the community will be having it’s own committee of representatives?
Do you have to pay HOA? meaning maintenance for the swim pool/security ect.
Yes you do I think the first properties HOA/Maintenance Fees were $1,200 pesos a month and the second property $500 pesos a month

Not quite sure but there are Pickleball courts here in Merida! I'm sure a quick search on Google Maps will surprise you! See you out on the courts!
Great Video... 👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful, Great Homes. How far is the airport from those Homes? Is there an airport in Merida Yucatan?...
There is an international Airport South of the City. It is about 20-30 minutes to the airport depending on traffic
@@JoseArteagaTravelsGreat to know, The airport is a Big +, Great selling point... 👍👍👍👍👍
Wow. A house tour. 👏🏻
Actually 4 house tours!
Hi Jose,
Great video. I’m so impressed with the prices, especially for someone like me, who’s a single Senior on a fixed income from relatively low SSA benefits. How convenient is the nearest airport? Do any of the houses come as ranch styles or no stairs? Do you have an idea of how often the HOA fees would possibly increase? Can One be purchased as an income property or is that not allowed in a gated community? Btw, I don’t speak any Spanish, but I know a little Portuguese from having traveled to Brasil over twenty years ago. Oh, btw, is the water in the houses filtered so that the water can be drunk without needing a buy bottled water all the time?
Thank you, 😀

Jose como me pongo en contacto con Jose Modelo el abogado, directamente ??
Beautiful houses, super backyards and great prices! Thank you both!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoy these house tours. I’m looking forward to more. Thanks Jose!
By the way 30 million (for the penthouse) is, as of today, one million 512 thousand dollars, not 15 million dollars.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the tour! As for the price on the penthouse, Jose just misspoke in the video it was corrected when I put the prices on the bottom of the screen. Thanks for the info!
I like the 3rd house, but no pool 😢😢😢, My favorite homes in Mexico are the traditional Mexican homes, I love the tile, colorful decor, so much history in the older traditional homes! ❤❤❤❤
I love the 3rd house as well! It is also in a great location! Thanks for sharing!!
Nice homes, I could see myself there as you were walking through them! Next time show a house with a HUGE pool
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the tours! Big house with a Big Pool coming right up! Stay Tuned!
That is exquisite!!
Awesome! Glad you think so!
