Having a sure thing is nice, isn’t it? You know what you have and where you stand. You know that you’re covered. There aren’t too many sure things these days. Investments you thought you could count on for financial security– like real estate – are failing fast. Some luxury properties have dropped 30% or more in value in the last year. Some of you are probably wondering if now is the time to invest in luxury property – given the “sale” prices you can find. Coaching Services can help you find the answer to this question.

The answer is going to be different for every person who asks the question. A lot of what goes into the correct answer for you will depend upon you. What is your return timeframe? Can you afford to invest resources into luxury property in a soft market? Has the market you’re thinking of buying in hit bottom? If not, can you tolerate a loss on the property you purchase? How long can you wait for it to rebound? What’s your current level of financial security?

A better strategy involves buying real estate in a positive market. You don’t have to wait for the market to rebound and you don’t run the risk of buying high in a declining market. Buying real estate in Mexico right now is a great real estate investment opportunity. The Mexican real estate market is one of the few markets in the world that’s on the upswing, and US investors have the good fortune of being so close to it. Puerto Vallarta, one of Mexico’s hottest real estate markets, is just a few hours’ flight from most major cities in the US. You can find inexpensive, direct flights virtually every day of the week.

The Puerto Vallarta real estate market has been experiencing double-digit gains for about the past decade, and there are no signs of a slow-down anytime soon. Puerto Vallarta is a growing city; its population is expected to increase by nearly 75% in the next seven years. Puerto Vallarta is also one of the cornerstones of Mexico’s plan to shift its economy from oil revenues to tourism. There’s no shortage of Federal money for important infrastructure investments in places like Puerto Vallarta. These investments serve to drive the property values even higher and deliver the financial security you’re looking for.
