Upgrade Your Retirement Lifestyle

Upgrade Your Retirement LifestyleThe financial news keeps getting worse, and investors are being confronted with the reality that their retirements savings may have taken a big hit. Young investors have time to rebuild their balances following losses like what we’ve seen in the past quarter, but older investors may not have that luxury and may be concerned about the prospects for their retirement lifestyle.

If you’re looking for a real estate investment that can turbo-charge your savings, consider upgrading your retirement lifestyle. It sounds counter-intuitive, but you can actually enjoy a more luxurious lifestyle by retiring to Puerto Vallarta. Unbelievable but true. The cost of living in Mexico is substantially less than it is in the US. You’ll see steep declines in the cost of health care, prescription drugs, transportation and energy costs, food and other necessities. The price of land is still a good value, but the property appreciation is what makes the deal so great.

Property values have increased by about 10 percent per year for the past ten years, and are expected to climb farther as more retirees come into the area from the US, Canada and Europe. This is one of those deals where you’ll kick yourself if you don’t take advantage of this opportunity right now.

Buying land in Mexico will never again be this affordable, and the choicest parcels for new development are being snapped up fast. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to invest and realize the kind of gains you’ll need to re-inflate your retirement account balances after this quarter.

If you would like more information on real estate investments that can produce solid gains, please contact Coaching Services today.

Safety In Mexican Real Estate Investments? You Bet!

Safety In Mexican Real Estate Investments? You Bet!Buying land in Mexico was never particularly easy, and it always carried with it a significant risk. Real estate laws in Mexico are different, and many of the protections we take for granted in US real estate transactions don’t (or didn’t) exist. Many early real estate investment proposals were turned upside down by unscrupulous sellers and buyers got caught up in the seemingly arcane property laws in Mexico.

All of that has changed and right now buying land in Mexico is among the safest real estate investments you can make. What makes the difference? Significant changes in Mexico’s property laws have opened doors for foreign real estate investment. Investors who buy land in Mexico are now protected in ways they never have been in the past. The protections are real enough and strong enough to entice lenders in both the US and Mexico to issue mortgages for the first time in Mexico’s history.

When it comes to property ownership, the availability of mortgages is key. There’s a relative housing boom right now in Mexico. Certain areas, like Puerto Vallarta, are preparing for an influx of American, Canadian and European retirees who are drawn to Mexico for its excellent quality of life and its low cost of living. The potential for strong gains in property values doesn’t hurt either! Property values in Puerto Vallarta have increased by about 10 percent per year for the past ten years, and many property owners have seen their property values double or, in some cases, triple in value.

There’s no better time for buying land in Mexico than right now. If you would like more information about how buying here can benefit you, or how you can take advantage of the strong investment potential of land in Puerto Vallarta, please contact Coaching Services today!

In Real Estate Investment, Timing Is Everything

In Real Estate Investment, Timing Is EverythingTime plays such a critical role in successful real estate investment! Fortunately, being in the right place at the right time is less a matter of luck and more a matter of being able to read market indicators correctly and acting accordingly.

In the case of Puerto Vallarta real estate, the time to buy is right now. The Puerto Vallarta real estate market is one of Mexico’s most active markets. For its part, Mexico is one of the few places where real estate values are on the upswing. Your ability to take advantage of these market conditions is limited.

Premium land in Puerto Vallarta is being sold at record rates to individual investors and commercial developers. These investors want to position themselves to benefit from the large number of North American and European retirees headed for Puerto Vallarta over the next several years. And benefit they will, not only from substantial appreciation of their property values, but also from massive infrastructure investments being made by the Mexican Federal government and by the state governments of Jalisco and Nayarit.

Within the last year, the Nayarit coastline has been opened up for private development. Until now, virtually no development has taken place along the coastline, save for a few small towns. This gorgeous, pristine area is now available for limited residential and commercial development, and those few individuals who can acquire land here will benefit substantially.

If you would like more information about Puerto Vallarta real estate, and changes in the market that make real estate investment here a great move, please contact Coaching Services today.

Growth Opportunities In Puerto Vallarta Real Estate

Growth Opportunities In Puerto Vallarta Real EstateIt’s hard to believe, but even in today’s real estate market, there are growth opportunities. Real estate markets all over the world have been hard hit. Notably, in the US, real estate values have been stagnating or declining. Similar stalls and slides are being seen in Europe, too. So where do real estate investment professionals see the opportunity for growth in real estate?

Most real estate investment professionals agree that the best real estate growth opportunities are outside the United States right now. Strong returns are being seen in just a few areas around the world: Brazil, Russia, India and China offer good opportunities for growth, but one of the most stellar performances is being turned in by our neighbor to the south, Mexico.

The Mexican real estate market is growing, despite the global slowdown. Certain markets in Mexico are outperforming even the highest expectations. The Puerto Vallarta real estate market is one of the super-performers. Part of the reason for this is Mexico’s expanding economy. While economies in other areas of the world are shrinking or stagnating, Mexico’s economy is growing, thanks in part to massive investments being made by the Mexican federal government in certain areas of the country, most notably, the established tourist destinations.

Tourism will play a major role in Mexico’s economic future, and to ensure the viability of this growing industry, the government is building new roads, infrastructure, water treatment plants, airports, marine terminals and more. Puerto Vallarta, as one of Mexico’s most desirable tourist destinations, has benefited substantially from this investment. Land values enjoy double-digit growth and could even double within the next five years.

If you would like more information about making Puerto Vallarta real estate a part of your investment portfolio, don’t wait! Contact Coaching Services today and find out about the real estate investment climate in Puerto Vallarta, and how you can benefit from the growing real estate market here.

Real Estate Investment Coaching Can Do Wonders For Your Portfolio!

Real Estate Investment Coaching Can Do Wonders For Your Portfolio!Most professionals, regardless of their professions, use or have used coaches at one point or another in their careers. When you think of coaching, you think of athletes, but coaches can be found in just about every profession. One reason coaching is such a successful technique is that it provides an objective, outside perspective on what a person is doing. Real estate investment coaching is no different.

For the real estate investor, having a coach can be indispensable. For the novice investor, a coach can provide a reference or framework to help the investor understand basic strategies, common approaches to real estate investing and common mistakes. An experienced coach can help an investor understand specific markets, and how to minimize risk when investing.

Right now, you may have noticed that the real estate market in the US is suffering. Many of the hardest-hit markets are so-called retirement destinations within the US. These areas have a significant inventory of available property, much of which has declined substantially in value since it was purchased. Some investors would look at this as an opportunity to acquire distressed high-value properties. Other investors would look at this situation and see an abundance of risk with only slim prospects for reward.

Real estate investment coaching can help you determine what you’re looking at when you see real estate opportunities, both inside and outside the United States. The Mexican luxury real estate market is very hot right now and investors are clamoring to build luxury Puerto Vallarta real estate. Is this strategy profoundly better than buying distressed luxury assets in the US? Which opportunity has the better prospects for reward? Which opportunity has the more likely prospects for reward? Which one is right for you?

If you would like more information about real estate investment coaching and how you can benefit from it, please contact Coaching Services today. We have certified real estate investment coaches who can help you discern the best strategies for your specific investment goals.

Long-Term Lending Is Available For Puerto Vallarta Real Estate

Long-Term Lending Is Available For Puerto Vallarta Real EstateThings are really coming together in the Puerto Vallarta real estate market. For many years, long-term financing was not available for land purchases in Mexico. In addition, financing for existing construction and new construction was likewise out of the picture.

Within the last ten years, the lending picture has changed dramatically in Mexico, opening up markets like Puerto Vallarta for foreign real estate investment. New laws have been put into place to protect both buyers and sellers of land. These new laws secure ownership rights well enough to entice banks – both US and Mexican – to issue mortgages for the first time in Mexico’s history.

In addition to mortgage lending, financing is available for land acquisition, new construction and even refinancing. The last item – refinancing – is a big one because property owners in Mexico now have a way to tap into the equity that accumulates in their homes.

The equity can be used in the same way it is used in the US, although the formula for calculating equity and the maximum available for loan is somewhat different. Lenders usually make at least half of a home’s equity available for refinancing. In addition, interest rates are competitive – hovering around 7 percent.

For investors, this is great news! The availability of long term financing means that investors can acquire and improve upon land without risking their own capital. In addition, Puerto Vallarta is a ready-made market, and demand for luxury properties here is increasing.

For the real estate investor, Puerto Vallarta presents an excellent opportunity to benefit from investments in the luxury market here. If you would like more information about real estate investments in the Puerto Vallarta real estate market, please contact Coaching Services today!
