Good afternoon Elena I own an apartment in PVR that I would like to sell . It a one bedroom unit located 10 minutes waiting distance from the Sheraton and 15 min from the malecón. Can you recommend me one of your trusted agents plz.
On the presale can you send the funds to a trusted escrow company that is bonded and insured ?
@@carlosbarron1284 you definitely should, but it’s not easy to find. Escrows are very new here.
Hi, Elena 😃This is a savvier 'approach' to building, in 2024 plus... to BUY into. (i.e. Better to best location(s) at the more 'affordable' price point, in a 'heated' valuations, climate.) So did you' all also 'escape' to Van, as well? Or are ya "holding down, the STR fort..." gig, this summer!? 😎 And check out what I just 'emailed' as it makes more 'sense' (mid to longer term...) than STRs, I think??? 😉
@@williamtiffee3799 great to hear from you always! I actually have been sick with a bad flu 😷 but back to content very soon! Lots of new things are coming.
@@ElenaNevza Sorry to hear, that. Hope you're feeling better, soon!? 😃 (I'm finally 'walking' a bit more again, two years after that bad car wreck, at 58...) And BTW: I was referring to using YT and Social Media marketing (much like that guy Scott Jelinek is having "Joey" doing his lower end properties wholesaling, and joint venture deal splits in Virginia) with YT videos to 'present' property offerings, as aforementioned 2- 3 years ago. You could do that with Canadian or US properties, BTW. (i.e. He links postings and other's responses aback to his, and affiliate's properties on FB, YT, etc. And probably also 'syndicates' listings, accordingly? I will do the same... then hire some 'kid' in their 20s, to monitor it... as it's NOT my "cup of java!") Then build the: funder, investor, buyer and seller lists! And "creative terms" may soon be about the ONLY WAY to get buyers and sellers "making a deal" again, in 2025- '30ish?! (Think: 2008- 12, because it's either HERE... or coming soon, to a theatre, near YOU?!) Since AIR, etc. TRAVEL is BOTH "discretionary," AND on the E$G list. (Case in point: The current Florida, controlled demolition.) Just sayin' 😁😉😎
You didn’t show anything. Keep your money in the bank till you see a successful project. Even then be careful. I’m an owner in PV for 18 years. You get what you pay for.
Keep Generification high while displacing locals and not paying taxes. These foreign influencers and condo owners have made PV and every Mexican cost unreachable for Locals… enjoy until Mexican start revolution against it and government put restrictions for gringos.
Why do you assume we do not pay taxes? That makes me assume that this is a reflection of what you do. I personally pay very high MX taxes and employ multiple nationals who appreciate and love working with us ( and so do we!) Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave the comment.
Was this a public access to the beach?
It was not, this is a private beach access for this development and a couple of others in the area.
You are smoking drugs 130k us lmao you must mean pesos.
After watching videos of yours we decided to drive to drive PV from Baja North, but it was bad idea. PV has dirty ocean full of mud and crocodiles. Zona romantica is gay people only zone. PV has crazy nerrow roads which get flooded each time it rains. Rent prices are very high even compared to Rosaritto. Weather is nice only in downtown PV, but that place is crowded, with big hills and potholes. nuevo villarta and surrodung area like sayulita are very hot. 3 bedroom old condo in El Tigre community was still 50k pesos per month. It was the only one decent place we found but what is the sense to rent there if ocean is not for swimming. I have to admit weather still better than cancun. Long story short we returned to our Rosarito highrise condo and this is the place to be for an American. Rest of mexico is a village. PV is full of homeless people, not many international tourists there, so i would never invest there cause airbnb will be slow, maybe in winter. But what is the sense to go there in Winter if ocean is not warm. I understand that Elena has her own agenda as a real estate agent. Every frog praises its own swamp. Food prices in PV Costco there are higher than in United States. What is the sense to be in the middle of nowhere And pay the premium for everything. If you want to visit Puerto Vallarta for 4 days it's fine but after a month you will realize that it is not a place to live, especially with children.
Hi Alex, @alexk.3416 I have a lot of thoughts in reply to this comment so I will do a video with my response. I appreciate the time you took to leave this comment and please look out for a video coming in the next 2-4 weeks! Such a great conversation point that is opening up an opportunity for me to talk about a lot more than “buying a vacation property “. Thank you!
Looks great everywhere I like going to the marina pv very nice
Nothing in Puerto Vallarta is cheap. The prices are tru the roof. Ive lived here for 30 years,but when i see videos like this, with half truths, i get enraged. The whole system is corrupt. The notarios are corrupt. If you don't know what a notario is you will. So much i can say. Space is to short. If you think I'm hating than you can't face reality.
The culture is definitely different and coming in with a know it all mentality will humble a person very fast. One of the main reasons I share this content is to show others how to avoid mistakes I made. I also share what I learned and help others win. Mexico is a beautiful country, filled with possibilities if you chose to approach it with a growth mindset. Sorry to hear that after 30 years here you are so unhappy. Also, do you think I can fit in EVERY little detail in to a 8 minute video? 😉
Dear Elena: Love seeing your video. You are walking near where I always stay in PV so brings memories - if I did that walk I'd poke my head in to say "hi" to people I know. I sometimes laugh during your video - little things like you showing a property and, then, almost fall into a hole on the street out front - it's funny, becuase THAT IS MEXICO!!!! Please keep up the good work and I do hope to see you someday while I'm in PV.
Thank you so much Dennis! :) Haha yep - that is real Mexico and we love it. See you in PV soon!
Today is July 23, 24 … any units available today?
Hi Brent, yes there are unit available, please email me for more info [email protected]
Lively and informative 😊
Thank you!
How much for HOA?
@@CristinaRodriguez-wq8ss HOA is never set before formed, estimated HOA is $3 usd a sq meter.
My condo in Mezcales booked 31 nights this month on Airbnb. Thank you for all your guidance Elena!
So happy for you!!!
$520.00 a sq. foot?
Saw video on KZread lady was saying a lot espates leaving Vallarta.. Because it's getting more expensive to live in Vallarta..she her self went back to Vancouver...
Was is Larissa Sokla, Joe? If so that’s my mom 😅 and if you watch until the very end she is only away for 2 months and coming back to PV. Yes, Vallarta is not cheap but there is a reason why, and we love it here!
Why would anyone buy these units? Even as an investor
To grow wealth outside of country of residence, to learn a new language and culture and to enjoy everything beautiful Vallarta has to offer 😉
💡 Luz development in Zona Romantica, Puerto Vallarta Luz development consists of 24 units, all of which are studio units ranging from 230 to 350 square feet. The development has 4 floors. The best-priced studio unit, which is 268 square feet in size, is listed at $130,000 💰 ❓Are you considering buying a vacation property or an Airbnb property in Puerto Vallarta? 🇲🇽 ✅DM for access to the replay of my masterclass “7 things you should know BEFORE buying a property in Mexico”.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Andrew!
Pre-sale=insolvent developer
That’s not correct, however one must be very due diligent when checking developers background.
I remember when White Rock was a farm community, now it's studio City North.
Great find, as always! Thank you
Thank you Laila ❤️
Always great content! Very informative. I just got her 7 things you should know before moving to Mexico.
Thank you so much Roberta! I’m so happy to have you in our PV investor community 🥰
Friends, are you considering buying a property in Mexico, but not sure where to start? My 💻 7 things you should know BEFORE buying a property in Mexico webinar is THE best place to start: soklanevza.teachable.com/p/7-things-i-wish-i-knew-before-buying-a-property-in-puerto-vallarta-mx
I really want to buy some condos in older buildings but I’m traumatized by the cockroaches in Tizoc Airbnb one time. Have you mastered getting rid of them? I’m curious.
There is a time of the year when they come out, however to be honest I never had them in none of our rentals, so I’d say fumigate and make sure neighbourhood you buy in is on the same page about it 👍
Transformer not transistor
🤣🤣🤣 I still messed it up!
I would love to buy a property out there but don’t have the money 😢 maybe once i finish paying off my house. I love PV. Your videos are great!
Thank you Marissa!
Con #1: Manana attitude. Things that need to be done on time are often delayed. Additionally, interruptions with electricity ⚡️ and water 🚿 can occur in Vallarta. It could take 2-4 hours or even a couple of days for your electricity or water to come back after a storm, for example. 🎯Share more of your cons if you are in Puerto Vallarta, or what the cons are in the location of your property.
Elena, what’s your minimum nightly stay? Or do you have a minimum? We were at 2 night minimum but recently changed to 3. It was a lot of turnover and a lot of work and it caused more issues for us.
Hi! I change it depending on the season and charge more for shorter stays. Sometimes I allow 1 night stays but in general-2 is minimum.
@@ElenaNevza Perfect! I just made that change. Thank you!
We are cashing out on our equity built in 8 years in California, and we're buying a condo in Marina Vallarta. We can't wait to get started! V-Golf feels so new like Nuevo, but is so central to all.
Congratulations! Are you going to live in the condo full time or are you planning on renting it out?
What kind of toilet??? Gotta be one of those fancy ones, there's hundreds of standard toilet seats at HD as i just replaced them on our last trip.
It was fancy but wasn’t our choice :) developers had made that decision so we now need to work with that 😀
Do you recommend we hire a management company or do it ourselves? I have only used air bnb once so didnt have a Review, it was in Bucerias and luckily she left me a review, as well as took a chance on me. Thanks for the info!
If you want a hands off approach- definitely hire the manager. If you have time and want to maximize your profit- you can do it yourself but there is a learning curve.
@@ElenaNevza and would need the right contacts for maintenance issues! Thanks.
I have 3 properties in Mexico 🇲🇽 & 1 in Portugal 🇵🇹. They are all pre construction & all will be done next year. & yes I want more😊
Congratulations! How exciting 😄
Interesting, something one doesn’t generally think about, no electricity or no water. That would be a big con.Same in Dallas where I live ,property prices have shot up.Well done with your property.
These things happen everywhere for sure Andrew, just timelines maybe different here ;)
Please tell everyone the truth about crocodiles in the ocean. I came to PV but the ocean was full of river mud
@@alexk.3416 yes, in low season there are definitely crocks in the water in some parts of the Bay due to the rains disturbing their natural habitat.
What's your definition of "close to the beach"? I'm finding nothing affordable within 2 blocks of the beach.
15 minutes walking to the beach is what I am talking about. Email me for opportunities [email protected]
I love Puerto Vallarta! I have a friend that lives there too.
I love it too ❤️
The opportunities here are incredible! You can find well-priced 💸 properties very close to the beach 🏖️. Once everything is in place, you can enjoy a steady cash flow. Investing in real estate means: 📈You're hedging against inflation 💰You’re diversifying into another economy, especially if you're not from Mexico 🏠You’re dipping your toes into real estate Puerto Vallarta is an amazing opportunity for new investors looking to get into the market and buy a property they can use for vacations. If you love this beautiful place, don't miss out! 🩵
Lots of news media about political unrest and homelessness in PV due to so much impact by tourism and expats
I live here full time and can confirm that these news is simply western media at its best. I recommend coming here to see it for yourself.
@@ElenaNevza Indeed... If one literally believed the exact opposite of what's in the mainstreamed (mind control) Medea, they'd then be MUCH happier and less stressed. (And no, that isn't cognitive dissonance. Contraire!) The SAME now also holds true for the so- called "alt Media," in many instances. (i.e. Know and understand, their propagandist biases... controllers and sponsorship!) 😎😉
Great property you showed, compelling argument for buying property.
Thanks Andrew! That’s what I experienced in the past and history tends to repeat itself 😊 we will see.
Hi Elena! Nice property! Is it possible to buy property in Mexico not being residents of Mexico? I am speaking about Russian citizens.
Hi Yulia! Yes, you can buy a property as a foreigner, email me for more info 🥰 would love to connect- [email protected]
Hi Elena.its good price. You look hot with the hat on you.
Thanks Hugo 😅
Friends, are you starting an Airbnb? get $30 usd when you sign up with this link: www.airbnb.com/r/elenan2752?s=6&t=061n0g
Love your enthusiasm. You make it sound so easy breezy… looking for retirement advice and affordable housing… approximately 2/3k all in monthly, is that possible??? You are doing a great job.. keep up the good work…
Thank you John! $2-$3k usd retirement is possible here BUT it will be in an authentic area, not on the beach (but in my view amazing options are available) and you would need to get creative if you want to get MX residency as financial requirements are getting higher.
@@ElenaNevza That’s what I’m afraid of, not being able to qualify for citizenship… I love the authentic Mexico experience…
@@johnrencher442 check differnet consulates as requirements vary from state to state.
Nice property
Thank you Andrew!
Hi Elena 😃 I was also just looking at a video about PV pros and cons (due to personal, preferences) and perhaps another good idea for a video(s) might be also contrasting the "family- friendly" investment or accommodation(s) with the more "adult- oriented" area(s) and investments?! (Also mentioned was STR or longer term renting a place/s for 6- 12 months to "feel- out the area" and locale, before investing... which I would pose is a better 'USP' than STR, marketing... when the 'rental' demand has slowed.) And of course the house vs. condo marketing, for those who have already 'chosen' 1- 3 areas to consider acquiring a home. Have a great day! 😉
Great to hear you Scott! Thank you as always for watching and your comments!
@@ElenaNevza 😎👍STAY HYDRATED, down there! 🚰
Aqua Azul - a colorful, authentic, and fun area located about a 10-minute walk from 5 de Diciembre. The area is perfect for someone who loves authentic Mexico, enjoys the little tiendas, wants to shop locally, and desires beautiful views, hiking opportunities, and proximity to the beach without being right on the beach. For example, investing 13 years ago in an authentic area called Zona Hotelera at an amazing price has paid off; now, this area is great. 🚀 Now it is your time to invest in something that, in 10-15 years, will be a prime piece of real estate
Nice looking property
Thank you Andrew!
I was just wondering why they always have one bedroom one bath why can't they have one bedroom and two baths
Some units are 1 bed 2 baths, it’s just development dependant and 2 baths will cost more.
