- I've been looking at both houses for sale and rentals for a little while, but I finally found a house that is right for me and for my budget. I show you three places including the one I'm renting.

Great find. So happy for you.
LUV LUV LUV your little house, s'pecially the back yard!
Do you have any video of your personalization, and the purple couch?
I'm in the process of selling my Tucson house and hope to arrive in Lake Chapala area by May.
Awesome find! I have two years to retire... can't wait!
Yay! One day at a time!!
Your place looks wonderful! So happy for you. Love watching your videos. Keep it up ❤
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
That house sounds amazing especially the backyard! :) AND you sound exactly like the lady I'd want to know - being a solo woman, a gardener and cook myself. ;) Thank you so much for this video!
Congrats! I made the move to Italy 🇮🇹 7 years ago but now will be changing to Mexico. I can’t wait. Thanks for sharing 😊
Big changes!! Italian is not too different from Spanish, so adapting to the language won't be too hard. And the government systems are just about as cumbersome....LOL!!
You sound exactly like what I would like!!! And can have pets!!! I would love to see and hear more 🤗
Nice new home ! I can’t wait to see what you do in that backyard! I hope things go well moving. Congrats on finding this little gem.
How exciting! Everything about the house is perfect. I saw San Antonio Tlayacapan when I first visited the area and immediately liked it. I’m moving down in a few weeks with my pup and looking for a house to rent. I really hope I’ll be able to find something as nice. (PS - Fellow lover of color here, especially purple. Fingers crossed for your acquisition of the magical purple sofa!)
Sweet property. Hope you have enjoyed making it your home over the past year.
Nice home Tamara! Thanks for the great video, I love SAT as well and hope to be there this time next year.
Its very authentic, which I love!!
I'm very happy to have just discovered your channel. Greatly appreciate all the info you have to offer; not the standard fare most people are offering. You've given me a lot of new insights about life in Chapala/Ajijic area. My first trip is coming up soon; I just listed my property for sale in So Cal so my plans will go accordingly. Blessings ~
Thanks for watching! I hope your house sale goes smoothly.
Love your videos!
Thank you!
Wow, love it, the flooring, ceilings and patio are fabulous. Can’t wait to see how you enhance this property, thanks for sharing 🎉
Truly lovely house, really. And those floors are fabulous. Closet built ins look good too. Large kitchen bench. That back garden and patio are heaven, I look forward to watching it all grow into your home!
This is exciting news!! The place you found is EXACTLY what I am looking for... I don't really care about the CELL phone coverage, I would prefer a landline. I want to make a garden and take care of trees and chickens. So excited for you!! OH HAPPY DAY!!
The place in Ixtlahuacan sounds like what you want. It is listed in the description box and still available!
@@anythingispossiblenow THANK YOU!
Great find. I know you'll be very happy. Can't wait to see what you do with the backyard.
Thanks!! I know!! I am just itching to start digging things up, but I have to be disciplined and get the house ready first...the electrical, painting, and water filtration are top of the list.
Beautiful.
Lucky you.
My plan is to move to Lake Chapala in 2 years.Looks like A beautiful peaceful place.
greeting once again. It's strange to see my previous comment from a year ago. Now I am in west Ajijic and just signed a lease today for a beautiful house in centro on Independencia. I'm giving myself 6 months to try out living lakeside and see if it's a good fit. I've only been here a week but it's proving to be an enlightening and fulfilling experience. Meeting a lot of expats; everyone has an interesting story. Namaste
This is the best time of year!!
Congratulations! We have watched your journey and are so happy for you that you have found your long-term home.
Thank you so much!
We bought a house down there. We can hardly wait to move there.John
Looks great! Colours are similar to my old house (terra cotta tiles and grout with light walls). I had intended to paint it but after a few weeks I decided the neutral colour went really well with oak and pine furniture and I just left it alone. Live in it for a while and see how you feel once you pick some furnishings!
Maybe, but I would rather paint before furnishing. I live in a place with white walls now and it is so boring!!
@@anythingispossiblenow Painting first then choosing complimentary furnishings is also a great plan!
I hit send on my first comment before it was over... oopsies.... The first place is the one I wish I could afford... I probably could barely afford it, but I would literally have to grow all of my own food. Anyways the place you are getting is so perfect for you as well... I did really like the pet area and your idea of putting a few hens in there ... I will be in Mexico next week working on my residency... Hope it goes well.... maybe we will meet someday if I get my act together... haha... Oregon has been SO cold this Winter, even though I left twice for a month each time I am SO ready to leave again.
Yes...it has been a brutal winter for Oregon....but, at least drought won't be a problem this year!
good presentation...genuine
I hope that it all works out. Looks like a beautiful home. Congratulations.
Congratulation, we love your videos. Thank you.
What a beautiful new home, great for pets, too! What is the rent there? Nice, quiet area!
It took me a long time and having connections to find my new place. It is EXTREMELY rare to find a place like this, but it is only 10,000 pesos/month and they cannot raise the rent more than 10% every year. Friends of friends knew I was looking for a place.
Terra cotta floors and arched doorways!! If you have good water pressure you have it made😊❤️👍
Getting that checked tomorrow. I bought a water filtration system that might not work if the pressure isn't good enough, but at least the tap water is apparently almost drinking quality in San Antonio!! Still need to filter it and have UV, but I don't want to deal with returning this unit to Amazon.
@@anythingispossiblenow I think maybe the tap water is good enough here in La Floresta for washing vegetables, maybe even boiling rice and potatoes. Sure would love to know! 😊Your beautiful big palm will love the new yard!
I plan to retire to the lake Chapala area in about 5 years .I also like quiet little towns around the lake and choose not to be around many expats .You say you're going to sign a 1 year lease so I'm thinking why spend money on new or used appliances if you plan to stay there for that short amount of time .Then you would have to worry about selling your items or take them with you if your next place is unfurnished/etc.I would only buy new furniture if I was planning to stay somewhere at least 5 years .But I understand many people just like having their own stuff.
I just wanted to sign a 1 year lease to start with. I will sign a much longer lease when this one is due because I really love this house and this area. I figured that I would either stay at this house or buy a house and need all this stuff anyway. The last house was furnished and everything was really old and worn out....and even then the landlord made me pay for reupholstering all the furniture and tons of other little stuff just to upgrade his house. There is no recourse and I do not enjoy living in a place that I cannot make my own. Everybody has different needs and wants.
Nice
I would love to know what the rent is for your new home. Do you mind sharing?
I have lived in this house nearly 2 years now. They did not raise the rent when I renewed the lease last year. I pay 10,000 pesos/mo.
How much was the first little house with the big yard but poor internet. You are so similar to me🍒
I can't actually remember what the first little house was being rented for, but it was quite a lot less than the house I was renting at $22,000 pesos/mo. Prices have gone up quite a bit in the past year and right now, it is high season, so good deals are harder to find.
Maybe change your lipstick
LOL!! Definitely!!
We're looking for NO CELL RECEPTION places to live. If you only knew how hard it is for many people to live with this technology. Ethernet cords are SO MUCH BETTER FOR PEOPLE.
There are very few places with no cell reception. Back behind a hill perhaps. You will probably have to build the house yourself.
@@anythingispossiblenowthank you - we'll have to see what we can find with less cell phone bars. Appreciate the head's up.
then again, anything is possible, right? Maybe a smaller town with less towers?
