Purchased 2 pre-sales in Tulum. One is a nightmare and will likely never finish. We'll be lucky just to get our money back. the other property is a year behind schedule but at least we received $500/month penalty credits for the delay. However, there was a 120 day grace period for developer delays. The management company RUMBA backed out so now the owners are left high and dry. Need to decide if we independently manage (AirBnb or VRBO) or do we find another company that will do all the advertising, marketing, booking and run it like a hotel as promised. I'm in the process of hiring an attorney and a Notary to do the Fideicomiso and help with the dozens of other steps to close on this property. It's so much more complicated in Mexico than in the states. I've looked up MexLaw for a quote, if you have a real estate attorney to refer, that would be much appreciated. The agency who sold the property and the developer DK Del Karibe haven't done a great job of mapping out what the next steps are. I'm a foreign investor and need more guidance as these are my first 2 investments in Mexico. At the end of the day, I don't think pre-sale is the way to go. Too many unknowns. Especially when it comes to who pays the utilities. First we were told the water/tras/electric was covered by our management fees. Now it looks like we may share the entire complexes utility bill rather than just our unit. Again, total nightmare. Anyway... sorry for the rant. Just putting this out there for buyers who are considering PRESALE.

Which area is the up and coming are in PV now, Is it Fluvial?

Looking to get away for four years From states because of trump!

Tip 5 is definitely food for thought, wherever you're looking in Mexico. Thanks Elena

A quarter million for a shoe box. Not.

Good video and informative 😊

With help from Elena, I was able to purchase a condo in Bucerias and become a permanent resident of Mexico all in one trip. Like me, if you plan to use financial solvency (for me, it was my savings) to acquire your residency, do your homework first before purchasing real estate. Had I purchased first, I would not have qualified for residency as my savings would have been spent and no longer in my bank account. Contact Elena, her professionals can help you with all of that. I would not have wanted to navigate those waters on my own. Just food for thought

I like what you said in your video. Please reply, I am having a very hard time since I lost my apple iphone in puerto vallarta. I didn't know that I would all my real estate resources and all my life of google maps of where I've been are all lost since I lost my iphone during summer here. I am so lost without my icloud account:(

I prefer the authentic vibes. :-) Seems like a really neat opportunity.

When you say you spent 5k on your lawyer, was that Pesos or Dollars? Thank you for your always informative content!

Hola ando buscando algo asi hay disponible?

Buyer fraud is widespread in PV where the drug cartels control real estate. Unsafe area

REALLY LIKE THIS and great price!!!!! How do I buy? how about renting

This is so helpful and honest. Thanks for sharing. We are just starting the search now and finally visiting PV area specifically just to look for our ideal property in 2025. This is really timely. Considering the drama we're seeing publicly with owners who purchased at Cuatro Estaciones in Bucerias, I'm thankful in hearing about your experience and a list of trusted references. It sounds like a nightmare at Cuatro Estaciones for some owner (but not all) so we will ensure we do our due diligence. I look forward to working with you. Keep up the great work sharing these videos with us.

Very nice, will there be more green space??? Security??? The neighborhood looks kinda sketchy… but I am sure it will be fine in a few years… Thanks for sharing this great opportunity…

Thank you Elena for a another great property.

Seapal just came out and said they are two hundred million pesos over budget. What does that mean for the water situation in vallarta?

Well done articulating the issues that come with buying Real Estate in Latin America. I sold Condos in Costa Rica years ago, loved it but every builder had their issues along with the HOA drama. I am thinking about coming down to the Puerta Vallarta/Bucerias area and look around at the Real Estate there. Keep up that adorable delivery and smile!

What is the address? I am in Vallarta now. Thank you

Good info.

Did you see the story on Bucerías Joel. What do you think?

Thank you this is great insight.

stop repeating things over and over.We get it first time.

You ramble like retard

Get to the point you Ray Ray

Great video. Good job

Of course real estate agents would never tell buyers the truth about the obscene level of violence in PV. Try googling it.

PV is horribly dangerous. Cartels in control. The U.S. State dept issued a Mexico Travel Advisory against Jalisco state where PV is located. Real estate controlled by the cartels. Who is paying these promoters and influencers? Buyers need to do their homework because there are lots of kidnappings and shakedowns of foreigners

Hola, Elena, how do I get thar screen saver that's on your t v in the background, I like it alot😂

This is an excellent smart video with priceless advice & facts 🌟

One of your best as it addresses the DRAMA that goes along forming an HOA with a pre-sale. Thankfully we did our research and are really happy with our condo at Cuatro Estaciones in Bucerias. It was a great decision and we can't wait to get back!

Thanks for sharing Elena! I experienced somethings similar…I own a property in PV, bought it presale. There were a lot of hurdles and a big learning curve buying in Mexico but 3 years later, I’m still happy with the decision. I own rental property in New Jersey also and there are problems everywhere…just do careful due diligence, always hire lawyer, assume 5x more time for everything in mexico, and look for a team of professionals you can trust. After a lot of patience, it’s been so worth it :)

You're looking great, Elena. Another good idea, for perhaps a series... of videos? (HOAs are universally, a challenge... so I try NOT to deal with them. What's currently happening in say Florida, is quite telling. And I know of REIs who 'target' HOA as well as tax and lender foreclosures.) The majority are always interested in advice from experienced people, who "tested the waters," before them!

Thanks Elena, you have beautiful eyes. The one thing I am worried about buying in Vallarta is buying a place with ocean views then having a building constructed that blocks my ocean view

Is there a lawyer you recommend? Im flying in this week to look at a presale which I already put a hold on.

All sounds very complicated. You’re a professional imagine what it’s like for average person.Plus the law that foreigners can’t own seafront properties. Goes into a trust.

Shame on you!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Tell your mom hi! I can't wait to start living there and opening my first Airbnb.

Elena N's Investment Consultancy and R.E. Professionals Referral Service. (Or perhaps some shorter variation, thereof?! ;-) I'm still liking the less congested and quieter, etc. 'vibe' in Bucerias, myself... vs. the 'congestion' in say central, PV. We just leased a larger abode in the states... and I will finally be 'launching' my own new start- up here soon, so maybe might still make it down there by next winter, or the following one to buy something there, and/ or further inland?! Congrats on getting your newest 'venture' up and running, Elena!

at saw the mountains and it was ZR But this isn't too far away

PV is ruined with extremely high prices now

Looks wonderful Elena, it would suit me just fine. Good price.

LOVE THIS, GREAT PRICE! I should make a move on THIS ONE!

Thank you so Elena i am so happy to best apart of your VIP group. I would say to anyone please join. It is a place where can get all you before buying. My family bought in Mexico and they did not have this resource they spent thousands of (US) dollars because they didn't the information that Elena has taught me. So let's all join and meet up in PV for drinks and food with the best people in the world in our new homes away from home. LOL Thank you Elena as always you give us what no one else on the internet can even find long before it hits the market. You are always making sure we are taken-care first. I am so glad to be apart of the VIP group to learn and get me my new home. :)

I prefer GZ or Eastside rather than the North. Nothing is convenient on the north side.

Bucerias North beaches and neighborhood are great - only issue is the road noise from the freeway
