Thank you very much for your warm words, it encourages me to continue on with my videos and bring more information about life in Mexico to all of my subscribers 😊💥

you deserve a medal for shooting this video in the extreme heat of the day during rainy season. I would have been soaking wet with sweat climbing up those hills. very good location where you finally viewed the 3 units... next to the church and Plaza Hidalgo and only a few blocks to the Ley grocery store. when I was staying in PV near El Mirador I walked by this area all the time to get my groceries. I also like all the shops and restaurants on Ave. Mexico. I would consider the largest apartment for sure in low season. the rooftop terrace was a nice feature. the high season prices end up being similar to Air BNB rentals. p.s. - most of those people you see sleeping in the road or sidewalk are homeless. I'm not sure if they would look at it as a simple life.

My favorite neighborhood downtown. Next to the apartments is a nice little pub/restaurant. Lots of taco stands and restaurants. Nice little fish market across from Casa Ley Supermarket The views from the upper streets are gorgeous. Walk up Calle San Salvador towards the cemetery, there’s produce, meat, fish markets… the Mercado Del Mar 5 de Diciembre.

Hola Larisa, I ve been watching your videos in Puerto Vallarta. You mentioned some houses for only $40.000 dollars for sale. I would like to know if you can share some pictures and location of them. Thank you

@LarissaSokla

2 жыл бұрын

@@myriampatriciarobles There are many opportunities for around $40,000, most I have seen need work. I wasn’t speaking of one specific one. Check out FelxMLS Vallarta for more info. If you need a realtor referral plz let me know via email. Thank you for watching.

Remember everything is negotiable, if you work out a longer contract for 6 months or a year, you can also get the rent at a lower price, most landlords want a deposit plus first and last months rent upfront, so keep that in mind, also check the faucets sinks and toilet to make sure they flush and run properly, do a thorough check before you sign any agreement. I am interested in places that allow pets, so many do not. Great video btw.

Small dogs are easier to take care of, but many condos do not permit dogs and even older residents that still have a dog are discouraged - they don't like exceptions to the rule even if it is "grandfathered" in. I like dogs and will accommodate them - good owners take care of their pets. I usually ask locals to get me a place during off season when lots of places are avail. I think pet owners are usually good people, so we rent our vacation homes to pet owners.

I love your videos! I dream of when I can move to Mexico in your area.. thank you for this

I spent a week in PV years ago and now as I am planning to retire Mexico is on my list for sure.

I have myself visited some excellent places near that church. My problem will be finding a place with perhaps a patio or courtyard for my dogs. My Mex. street dog would be barking at those sleepers on the street - she doesn't like the beggars perhaps because they were not nice to her when she was a starving street dog. Maybe a house back in the neighborhoods or even along the river or by the jungle, too. There's lots of nice choices in P.V.!!!!

I like the studio with the blue kitchen. Is it an option in Puerto Vallarta to do a 6 or 12 month lease so the rent remains the same throughout?

@LarissaSokla

Usually long term rental(‘ 6-12 months) is lower priced .

Looking forward to your adventures! I stayed at the hotel Marlin and up in the mountains for 4 months in the late '80s! The Marlin was $11 a day and it was on the ocean I think actually it may be a block away from the ocean now they built a road, the room in the mountains was $3 a day! It was all locals and a half a million roosters. It was one of the best times in my life :)

Thank you so much for this video! Do you know of any affordable or good airbnb rentals? They are so spendy from what I found! We want to rent a temporary at first and then find the right place after that!

I guess it is typical for owners to raise rents during the high season, but is that something they document in a lease? I guess you need a translator to review leases. Also, do people move around if they don’t want to pay increased rents? How long is typical lease?

@LarissaSokla

Yes, you have to read and understand lease, it’s important. In most cases it’s in Spanish and English, but not all . Long term rental is usually 6 months and up to one year.
