Interview with Mitch Keenan of Mexico International Real Estate on why Merida and the Yucatan are your best options for living, working and retiring in Mexico.
I went to College in Guadalajara in the late 90's. I loved it. I still go down to Mexico every year on vacation. When the time comes, I hope to retire in Mexico.
Thank you for a great video. I was in Merida in 1973 & loved it. I too love Mexico for all the reasons you described. I am moving to Guadalajara this fall. Really looking forward to all the new adventures. Thanks again!
Yucatan state and it´s capital, Merida, are often rated as one of the best places to live in Mexico - or even in the world. All things considered, this is a safe, lively, affordable place to be !
Worked, lived in Mexico for almost 15yrs ... changed my life!! Retiring with my beachfront B&B very soon!! Mitch Keenan is truthful in everything he shares. It's a privileged life for those willing to 'go for it'!! Andrea
Mitch Keenan, I would suggest you entitle this you tube: Live, Work and Retire in Merida, Yucatan (Vs. in Mexico), which is a very general tern refering to 31 Mexican states. I would retire in Merida, or its surroundings. That area of Mexico is very unique when compared to other parts of Mexico. Thanks for your great presentation here.
Merida is a wonderful city! , I love it! you made a great decision to retire in mexico! I'm from Mty Mexico but I have 1 year living in Michigan because my husband get a job here, and now I want to come back to my Mexico, it's a great country with amazing places, food ! enjoy!
I'm thinking of going to vacatiion to miranda because of this video with my family. Can anyone tell me if its safe . Need assurance from several people to make decision, thanks
Hello, I'm retired military and can retire from State. My wife is areal estate agent and employed. We hate the mentalities found here in Baltimore. We plan to vacation again in Cancun. We love it. We are Black Americans who don't fit in with the normal low class attitudes found here in the USA. I have lived abroad several times WE want to be put in contact with other Blacks who retired there if possible.
Wow, this interview was uploaded in 2009, where he talks about the low-cost of living and then specifically at 3:36 he says, _"I like the fact that the government doesn't interfere in my life... etc"_ How prophetic, now in 2021.
I just love the music playing in the background! Anybody know who it is? This is a great vid. I'm interested in more information regarding the storm season.
I got tricked, I thought by the title of the video to do that as a mexican...... well not close enough, hu. I love my country but you can`t do that as a mexican, of course not need to be rich foreign in mexico like the host says. Story is 180 drifferent for mexican citizens, enjoy your stay while you can.
The USA is what Mexico looks like. All big corporate companies are there! Walmart, home depot, little ceasars, dominos pizza, autozone, McDonald's, you name it!
lgeo Lore I'm white, and my wife and I honeymooned in Puerto Vallarta. If memory serves me right, the first buildings we saw after leaving the airport was a Home Depot, a Burger King, and a KFC.
@Irineosgirl123 if you wanted you can move here and work in the tuorism bussines,, last year my dad bought a hause in acapulco, in the pacific ocean for less than a 41 700 usd, and it is pretty cool, the watter is always warm, everything is cheap.. just save some money , and about boys.... we love the foreing girls ,,, thats a advice
If any of you are: Bilingual. good looking. American/Canadian/foreign, you can set up business in Mexico. and live. and be ADORED by the people. unfortunately, light skin is thought to be GODLY. If you have light skin, you made it!
IM JUST WANT TO TELL YOU ALL BIENVENIDOS A MEXICO WE GOT A PLACE AT HIDALGO STATE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AMAZING PLACE. I LIVING AT TEXAS ILLEGALLY BUT I DONT HATE AMERICAN PEOPLE .
There's a young man who came on board where I work about a year ago. He's Mexican American. Yesterday, he got a call right after arriving at work from someone who had kidnapped his sister in Mexico. He left work immediately. He was crying. My boss and his wife are also Mexican American. He told me that his wife told her family members in Mexico, that she wanted to come visit them. They told her that where they live, people are afraid to leave there homes at night and they said she should not come because it's too dangerous.
+victor uribe you should really read the news, the mexican cartel has really stepped up in the last few years. and its not just affecting those in the drug world.
+jrmint2 the news? lol news in our country run by obummer are not real news they are entertainment! Please do your own research an first don't believe everything the obummer manipulated media is saying these days. I mean it is so fkn obvious how can people still believe everything the media is saying these days?! pharma companies the real drug dealers, legal prescriptions kill more than double the number of Americans yearly than illegal narcotics research people wake up! stop being manipulated and start researching and verifying the reality of what the real situation is.
did u know zetas were trained in the middle east by U.S. military? did you know that fast and furious U.S. selling Mexican cartels high powered weapons have killed thousands of innocent Mexican people who were not criminals? did u know for the past 5 yrs. Mexicans have been leaving the U.S. and are not #1 undocumented immigrants crossing into the U.S.? central Americans and immigrants from other countries are number and this because obamer invited them offering under age children from central America refugee. undocumented Mexicans do not ever get any kindcof u.s. help. Muslims and african refugees get free rent, bills, food, medical, education that doesn't stop at high school, get certified, get job placement, a free vehicle, and get taught English all free my friends with our ancestors and our own hard work money!!! undocumented immigrants don't even get emergency medical assistance!! Mexicans are native Americans so wouldn't it be fair to help them and not people from other side of Earth? stop the baseless hateful racism against us and our people because these are our god given lands we don't have a choice on other side of earth like other immigrants do!
Lol! I'm not racist. Nothing you say changes the fact that what's happening in Mexico is infinitely safe for naive moneyed Americans. There are still some great places...but there is a trend moving away from safe. It's definitely not safe for the poor innocent Mexicans living amongst all that violence in many regions of mexico.
I went to College in Guadalajara in the late 90's. I loved it.
I still go down to Mexico every year on vacation.
When the time comes, I hope to retire in Mexico.

Mexico welcomes you!

You obviously did not listen to the video,he said he fell in love with Mexico,in fact, he fell in Love with a Mexican Women...
all that he is saying is true, that is why I love Mexico, I hate the government, but there are a lot of things to enjoy there.
@ausSchengen .....NO. I'm moving back to Juarez soon. Besides.....nobody lives forever
@3674529 MLK Day? RACIST? Hmmm.. Merida is very beautiful. But it has it's issues.
allowed for our human rights to be violated. strange how I had previously checked the spelling but changed when I posted my comment
Compared to the daily life here in the u.s. Life/years goes by so much faster than in mexico. Less stress out of the routine..
@MrManny7426 lucky i got a long way to go im only 20 hoping to retire at 50-55
@muktismom It's called Cumbia.
@brianthebj sad, but true..
PROGRESO ROCKS
