CNBC’s Stock Market Guru Urges Investing in Mexico
Finally we are starting to hear a lot more news about Mexico and it is not all about drug wars and violence. In fact Mexico has been talked about quite a bit in a positive way that it may lead one to believe that finally people are getting bored with the media coverage.
There is no violence in Los Cabos. There has never been a turf war in Los Cabos and only 2 bank robberies in 30 years and you know why? The escape route is too small, no place to hide. There is only one road in and one road out. The other reason is because the Government won’t allow it to happen here. Los Cabos is the cherry on the top for the government. Imagine the federal money pouring into this place.
So now that I have that cleared up I go back to what I was originally talking about; Mexico has been seen in a much more positive light recently. The AARP announced that Mexico is the #1 best place in the World to retire too. Do you know how HUGE that is? Here is the article if you have not read it: Best Places to Retire Abroad: Mexico. It list Puerto Vallarta as the #1 spot for all the same reasons why Los Cabos is so great.
Yesterday I read an article posted on EliteTraveler.com by Gonazalo Franyutti, President of the Hotel Los Cabos Association. In his article he mentions that “Cabo is the backyard of the North American consumer.” He goes on to further mention that Master-planned developments such as Cabo Cortes, Cabo Riviera and Puerto Los Cabos are shaping the area for the future. Franyutti says “all of these master-planned communities give us the sense that as we grow (Los Cabos), we will grow in a very planned and organized fashion.” Here is the article if you would like to read it: Elitetraveler: Interview with Gonzalo Franyutti
I think the most exciting news I read was today from Jim Cramer, the Bombastic, high-energy investment Guru and host of CNBC’s massively successful show “Mad Money.” This week on his widely popular show Jim Cramer states “It’s not such a bad idea to diversify away from stocks, I think that out of favor real estate in Mexico, that’s easily accessible to Americans, represents a great buy”. Wow! I then further read that he bought THREE properties in Mexico this week. Way to go Cramer!
So there you have it folks. Mexico is finally getting it’s well deserved spotlight shown on them for all the great reasons why I have decided to move my family here. It’s safe, is close to the United States, I still have modern comforts and conveniences, my kids are getting a great education in a bilingual school and owning here is easy, legit and inexpensive. Did you know that property tax here is next to nothing? property tax in Mexico is less than 1%! It is 0.1% on an annual basis of the amount recorded of the sale at the Notary. (for example about $1000 on a $1 Million property). What are you paying in property taxes where you are?

Lets go on a Boat Tour of Cabo Riviera
If you have been following my blog for awhile or receiving my Newsletters you know that I often mention how unique Cabo Riviera is. There is nothing else like it anywhere. Really and truly. Now we stepped it up a notch and added a boat tour along our existing channels to gain a different perspective to what is being constructed. Now that’s unique! I don’t know about you, but until recently, I have never been on a tour of a construction site by boat. It was fantastic. You think you know a place like the back of your hand until you see at a completely different angle. Come out and see for yourself.
As a consideration, if you plan on coming to see Cabo Riviera please be sure to make an appointment with me in order for me to have the boat ready for the tour. That would be awesome and so would your boat tour.

The best places to fish are in Mexico
I will be the first to admit that I am no fisherwoman. That probably doesn’t come as any surprise to most of you either. I have fished a couple times and I do agree when you hook a fish and you are reeling it in, it’s exciting. I mean really exciting. But I am no fisherwoman.
Recently while sitting on the sidelines of the Bisbee’s EastCape Offshore Tournament I also found myself excited to see what was caught and how big it was gonna be. It amazed me further to find out how many fish were actually caught and released in this tournament alone. There were 108 Billfish Released: 2 black, 33 blue, 64 striped marlin, 9 sailfish, 9 dorado & 7 yellowfin tuna that had been weighed. So it is no surprise to me or anyone else for that matter, that Los Cabos is a fantastic place to fish even if you are not a fisherwoman. That is why Christine Delsol of SFGate.com wrote this article below.
