People from all over North America, Europe and Asia are interested in Mexican real estate and I can’t say that I blame them. In certain areas of the country, Mexican real estate values appreciating at double-digit rates every year. One of these areas in Puerto Vallarta. If you’ve ever been to Puerto Vallarta, you’ll know why the area is so interesting to those looking to make a solid real estate investment.
The weather here is gorgeous. Puerto Vallarta enjoys about 300 days of sunshine per year and the temperatures are in the mid-70’s on average during the “winter months” and in the mid-80’s in the summer. Puerto Vallarta does have a rainy season in the spring and summer months, but the rains don’t last long.
Puerto Vallarta overlooks the Pacific Ocean and there are many recreational activities – such as sport fishing, snorkeling, diving, surfing, sailing and more that you can take part in here each day. You’ll also find premiere golf resorts and excellent public courses, too.
For the investor, Puerto Vallarta offers a great return and high potential for future income. Whether you want to build a luxury home to live in and enjoy, rent out for income or to speculate in the market, you’re likely to come out on top.
Right now, the Mexican real estate market is one of the few positive markets in the world and investors are gravitating here from all over the world. In a few short years, the available land will have been developed and the price will have been driven up substantially from its current levels.
The opportunity to buy Mexican real estate in Puerto Vallarta is one of those you don’t want to let slip past you, especially if you want to improve your real estate holdings.

When it comes to real estate investment, now is the time to consider buying real estate in Mexico. Changes to Mexican property laws mean that your interests are better protected than ever before. These changes have encouraged the growth of the mortgage industry in Mexico, which was practically unheard of less than a decade ago.
Your property interests are held in a trust called a fideicomiso. A fideicomiso is required for all land purchases within 50 km of a coastline and 100 km of a national border. These laws apply to foreign nationals and citizens alike, and create indefeasible property rights for the trust beneficiary. The trust is active for 50 years and can be renewed.
In addition, the trust vehicle allows you to pass property easily to another person, such as a family member or close friend. You enjoy all of the same ownership rights you enjoy on property held in the US.
If you would like more information about land ownership in Mexico, contact us. Coaching Services can offer you a thorough overview of the process of acquiring land in Mexico. In addition, the real estate investment coaches at Coaching Services can show you why owning land here is an excellent investment plan.
Buying real estate in Mexico will enable you to take advantage of not only the new property laws here, but also changes in the marketplace that will bring thousands - perhaps even hundreds of thousands – of people to the Puerto Vallarta area in the next several years.
Now is definitely the time to invest if you want to stay ahead of the game here. Please contact Coaching Services for more information!

It’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 always carries risk, but it also carries the potential for reward. Right now, buying real estate in Mexico provides one of the best opportunities to realize great rewards. Mexico has one of the few positive real estate markets in the world right now, and Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico’s hottest! Luxury developments are being built all over the city and they’re drawing real estate investors from all over North America, Europe and Asia.
You could spend a lot of money and buy an already-developed property, but that won’t necessarily be your most direct path to a great return. Instead, consider buying a residential building site and construct your own luxury home. Not only is it possible to do that, it makes great sense.
You can acquire choice coastal property north of Puerto Vallarta in San Pancho. Right now, as featured on the Select Mexico Properties blog, you can find luxury building sites that are affordable and have the great investment potential you look for when you make a real estate investment.
You can build a luxury home to enjoy for yourself, to rent as income property, or on speculation. The market is in excellent shape here and luxury developments are being sold daily. In the next several years, millions of people will be looking for a permanent or part-time retirement property. If you buy and build right now, you’ll be prepared for the market demand that’s already building in Puerto Vallarta. You can enjoy your home at a fraction of the cost that a comparable home would run in the US. You can rent your home and generate generous income in retirement, or you can sell your home and use the gains for whatever you like!
If you would like more information on real estate investments and how to make them work for you, contact Coaching Services. Our professional, certified real estate investment coaches can help you understand the Puerto Vallarta real estate market and benefit from the growing demand here for luxury real estate.

Buying real estate is likely to be one of the most complicated transactions the average person will encounter in his or her lifetime. Buying real estate in a foreign country is likely to be even more challenging. Buying real estate in Mexico has gotten substantially easier in the past decade, and new mortgage companies are cropping up to serve the huge demand for real estate investment capital.
As an example, ConfiCasa just opened a new lending office in Puerto Vallarta this week, and is offering mortgages here, as well as in a number of other resort towns in Mexico. Mortgage lending is becoming more common in Mexico, and you can find mortgages denominated in either dollars or pesos. The interest rates are highly competitive – around 7 percent – and the process of obtaining a mortgage is relatively straightforward.
The demand for property here in Puerto Vallarta is hot, and the demand for luxury property is even hotter! Investors from North America and Europe are looking for solid real estate investment performance and they’re certainly finding it in Puerto Vallarta. The property values in Puerto Vallarta have increased steadily in the past ten years and will continue to increase as the number of interested buyers rises.
In addition, property taxes in Puerto Vallarta are very low - .1 percent of the sale price of the property and the taxes don’t increase until the property is sold. This is one great reason to build in Mexico instead of buying already developed property. Another is that you’ll pay no capital gains tax on the sale of your home if you have used the property as your principal residence for at least five years. This is excellent news for the investor.
The investment climate here is unbeatable. Luxury real estate in Puerto Vallarta – especially with its exceptional views of the Pacific Ocean – is possibly the best performing real estate investment you can make right now. The potential for increasing long-term growth is excellent and buying real estate in Mexico has never been safer.

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.

Retirement is a scary proposition for most people these days. They spend too much time worrying about whether they’ve saved enough for retirement and too little time thinking about the prospects for enjoying life. Real estate investment coaching can help you simultaneously prepare for retirement and open up a world of retirement lifestyle opportunities that you may not have even known were possible! Our real estate investment coaches are certified professionals who have long since retired from the day-to-day grind and enjoy the possibilities that smart investing has opened for them.
Financial planners used to counsel people about the “three-legged stool” of retirement: Social Security, pensions and savings. Now, they’ve added a fourth leg: working in retirement. Isn’t the point of retirement to stop working? If you’ve been planning to leave the world of work behind, you may need a source of income, but who says that it has to come from work?
The real estate investment coaches at Coaching Services can show you how to have the retirement lifestyle you want without spending your retirement collecting a paycheck. Our professionals can help you define your real estate investment goals, identify your level of risk, identify resources available to you that you may not have been aware of, and help you craft a plan that will allow you to worry less about retirement and enjoy your retirement lifestyle more.
Some solid real estate investment advice and planning can make the difference between working for money in retirement or having your retirement money working for you. If you’re ready to stop worrying and start enjoying life, contact Coaching Services today!

It’s been more than a month since Select Mexico Properties sponsored its first tour of the Nayarit Riviera region and buyers are still inquiring about real estate in this region. You may have read about this in the Select Mexico Properties blog, but in case you didn’t, or you missed it, you have a second chance to visit the Nayarit Riviera and conduct your own fact-finding on the area.
At Coaching Services, one of the primary tools we use ourselves and strongly suggest to our clients is research! The more research you do, the more comfortable you are with your decision to invest or not invest. And nothing takes the place of first-hand research. Select Mexico Properties is conducting a second tour of the Nayarit Riviera October 16-18. This is an excellent opportunity to see the area at its very best. The rainy season will have subsided and you can see what makes the Nayarit Riviera region so special.
It’s also a “don’t-miss” opportunity to talk to the professional designers about the kinds of home designs and layouts that work best in Puerto Vallarta. You can ask about the best building materials, the best floor plans and the best structures for hillside homes. You can talk to the engineers who have worked here on other homes about their experiences. You can talk to the sales staff about the investment value of Puerto Vallarta real estate and what you can expect in the coming years. You can ask the professionals about incorporating solar energy, water reclamation technologies, energy efficient designs, and more.
You can also tour San Pancho, Puerto Vallarta and the surrounding areas to see the kinds of services that are available here. You can talk to business owners and residents about San Pancho. You can talk to banks about financing. You can spend some time on San Pancho’s beaches and see the town for yourself. You can also ask about how you can get your trip to San Pancho paid for, so that it costs you nothing out of pocket to come here and see this area for yourself.
If you want more information about the upcoming Nayarit Riviera tour, contact Coaching Services or Select Mexico Properties today.

Things 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!
