- Will and Sarah have just moved into their dream home in El Salvador (paradise ;). They share their experience purchasing a home in El Salvador and some of the things buyers can expect.
Happy for you guys!, 285k usd in canadian $ 400k, you couldn't find a house or townhouse in Canada for that price, and Zaragoza beautiful place, closed to everywhere...plus your house comes with the option of growing mango, banana, coconut papayas trees ect if you decide to. I don't think you could you that in Canada...
Congratulations I’m currently selling my house I’m following your footsteps
Thanks so much. Wow, that amazing! We're very excited to hear that you have made the decision to do the same. Life's a journey and we never know where its going to take us next, but we need to live it to the fullest and not have regrets - go after your dreams my friend if they're calling you here we will be rooting for you, bendiciones amigo!
People have lots of dogs because of any intruder that might want to brake into your place, they'll let you know when the intruder is being chewed 😂. Also they're a pretty good company.
I think the house is great. The kitchen is awesome.
Me encantó el video y lo bien que explicaron todo el proceso desde que vieron la propiedad, presentaron la oferta y entregaron la reserva de los $5,000 o arras que se entregan cuando se firma la Promesa de Compra-venta, que es muy bueno que exista ese documento porque de esa manera ambas partes están protegidas y se esta garantizando la negociación. Soy agente inmobiliario y a veces cuesta que los clientes entiendan lo de la reserva y las ventajas de este. (cuando me vuelva a suceder, los voy a enviar a que vean su video, con su permiso :) Verdaderamente si estoy impresionada, manejan muy bien los términos de Impuesto de Transferencia (su pago al 100% y cuando se divide en 50% USUFRUCTO y 50% NUDA PROPIEDAD) derechos de Registro y muchas cosas más. Los felicito! y Bienvenidos!!!
You guys are lucky, or would I say blessed for that property very nice looks great ,saludos amigos desde utah USA 🇺🇸
Thank you!
Hola de acuerdo a lo que he escuchado en las noticias, en el Gobierno de Bukele: Si eres Salvadoreño o hijo de Salvadoreño ( tienes que adquirir la ciudadania creo) y quieres transferir capital hacia El Salvador con intension de residir en El Salvador, Las transferencias de cantidades importantes de dinero desde el extranjero para inmuebles, casa, carro etc, son libres de impuestos, NO TAXES, por favor pregunten sobre el programa de migración inversa. Pues nosotros estamos siguiendo la información de ES con el fin de retornar en un futuro. Tengo entendido que aun el ingreso de bienes es permitido sin taxes, claro existe un limite. Saludos los mejores deseos.
Sí, es correcto, no hay impuestos para traer dinero o activos al país si te mudas aquí desde la diáspora. ¡Sin duda fue un gran incentivo para nosotros!
Sería excelente que hicieran un vídeo acerca de esos detalles.
An advice for people who are Salvadorean and want to buy in El Salvador. Get the Chivo wallet, start depositing money using a credit card o debit card to build cash, you can have in US dollars or transfer it to Bitcoin if you are into it. Also, open a bank account in your next trip to ES. It is becoming easier to do it now. I faced all those issues, 3 years ago, when buying 1.7 acres (una manzana), en La Palma, Chalate. Bendiciones y saludos desde London, Ontario.
Oh wow, you bought a manzana! Good for you! How are you using it? Do you vacation here?
Stainless steel sink are most used here in the USA, congrat and the counter top granite or quarzt is great ,bendiciones amigos
Thank you!
Bendiciones gente.🙏🙏🙏
Gracias.
Congratulations 🍾 por su casa buena decisión espero que logren sus metas en mi lindo Pais al cual espero regresar pronto!
Definitely building a house would be less expensive I would guess. Congratulations folks. One question: whats the cost of living there in El Salvador and what kinds of jobs you guys are going to have there?
Congratulations and thanks for the very informative video!
Thank you!
Excelente información para la diáspora, next video please que sea en algún lugar del país disfrutando los paisajes. Bendiciones.
Good information.
Thank you.
Felicidades from Boston
Gracias.
i got lost about the usufructo law but regardless what your home value in a few years will be worth a lot more. for sure. that's why I keep telling friends don't sell your property specially if you live in San Salvador arounds.
Gracias por los detalles eso nos ayuda a saber mucho del negocio inmobiliario que se esta manejabdo wn el pais actualmente y felicidades de nuevo..!! Next video planes a mediano y largo plazo could be??

Hi, Great info and really appreciate all the details of the process. Did you guys find the house by yourself or you had a realtor showing you properties? I'm visiting el Salvador in the next couple weeks and the idea is to look for a property. Hope you can answer my question. Following your steps.

I’m assuming the deal was cash offer or any financing involved?
Definitely looking into doing this! Thank you! What do you do for work? Do you have to have citizenship??? Thanks for your content
Thank you so much for this video. GREAT valuable information. 1 question how long was the whole process for the house purchase?? 1 month , 3 weeks??
A lot of charges😮😮😮
How much money are you allowed to bring , from Canadá to El Salvador. Saludos desde Canadá
Hi guys
I have a question about the canadian retirement plan.
Like so many I have given Canada a lot of working years.
If I was to immigrate to a country such as El Salvador like you guys have, would I be able to get my cpp?
Are you guys still paying into your CPP or did you lose your contributions by moving abroad?
TIA
Hi Jeannette, that's a really great question! I checked this on the government of Canada website because I was also curious about the answer. Yes, you can retire abroad and still receive both your OAS and your CPP payments, however the government will keep 25% of your benefits as a "withholding tax". I can understand them keeping 25% of the OAS because we don't contribute to that, but not the CPP, which we had to put money into from every pay cheque with the promise that we would receive it, so thats kind of BS! But yeah, so you would keep 75% of your eligible benefits, but at least here the costs of living is lower and your money will go further.
Good to know,
I thought you would lose the OAS, I wasn't sure about the CPP.
In Canada we live to pay taxes, doesn't surprise me leaving the country will cost you 25% of your pensions.
If you dont mind my asking, what do they charge for property taxes?
Did you guys pay for the house outright, or did you take out a mortgage? If so, what are the interest rates and down payment percentages? Thanks.
We paid for the house outright. We were in a position to do that because we sold our home in Canada and had enough equity to do it. In El Salvador you can buy a cute little house for $180-200,000 and live comfortably in a nice residential - with no mortgage or rent!!! (bonus!!!)
Or property taxes, as you mentioned in your video...
Hi good evening I wanted to ask you guys a couple questions we want to move to El Salvador we live in California wanted to know how or know how to work remote I would like to move with a job to the city of Santa Ana
Marero d usa ?!!!
I think it’s not the diaspora only riding the prices up. It’s the rich investors that buy the best houses and hold them to invest as the value of the dollar is so low
Its due to gentrification.
Did you work with a bank?
You look too young to be a retiree,
I am 56 and planning to go back to el salvador when the time comes.
My wife and I have a house in a “pueblo” in Chalatenango,
My two daughters will not go live with us , they are US born and adults now.
Are you guys happy there?
Oh wow, that is so nice that you plan to retire here! Chalatenango, thats cool we haven't been to that part of El Salvador yet! Yes we are happy here, we know we made the right decision! And we are very hopeful and full of joy about our future here and the future of this amazing country!!!
Do you guys have remote jobs. Would you mind sharing what you do?
Very helpful. You can become consultants to many of us in the diaspora. Thanks for sharing. If you do become consultants. Let us know.
@@gloval5187 Yeah for sure! I'm a daytrader and Sarah is an English teacher so we both work online (we're digital nomads)
