Hello Everyone, The new video has been up for about 24 hours now and I just wanted to thank everyone for watching and for being so incredibly kind with your comments on Jim's new effort as he portrays my life and Rudy's life here in Vallarta. It truly is my pleasure to answer each and every one of you who ask questions or just pop on to say Hi! The response on the last video (with over 1 million 100 thousand hits) was wonderful. I have met some great people in the past two years that have moved here and reached out to me and have now become good friends. I am in my 13th year in Mexico and hope that my life continues to inspire you and show you that in my world, my budget works so well and allows me to use what I save to continue to travel and support my favorite charities. Francine

One of the things I would like to see you ask about as you’re talking to people is what their end of life plans are. I know it seems to be kind of a taboo subject but I see all of these people in their late 60s and 70s moving overseas Weather it be Southeast Asia Mexico Costa Rica. What are their plans for end of life? Do they have family in the US? They’re going to go back and live with when they’re unable to take care of themselves? Are they going to move into some kind of retirement center overseas? Do they plan on just dying overseas Being cremated or buried there? I would be really interested to kind of get a feel for what the people who have already gone there think
@francinebritton5939 Жыл бұрын
Actually in the first video we made, I wanted to put this in and we decided not to. About 5 years ago, I bought a cremation plan from Funeraria Celis with my request to be cremated and the remains picked up by a relative. They have many options and two locations in Vallarta and do everything for you. I also have many things in place for if I need a nursing home, hospice care, and my end-of-life resuscitation documents with my wishes stated. People die here every day. Celis will handle everything including asking how many copies of my death certificate my relatives want. A great resource for information is to go on the Lake Chapala Society in Ajijic website and download all their end of life forms! That's what I initially did. The plan with Celis was $1000 USD. I got it about 5 years ago.

Nice to see that you explain Mexico's income requirements and the types of visa that a person needs. So many channels leave that information out. Even with this great video, yes this pleasant lady has a monthly budget of $1,125. a month but her income is over twice that and that's a requirement for permanent residence. Many thanks.
@francinebritton59398 ай бұрын
The income requirements for permanent residency just went way up. A single person now needs to prove over $6000 USD per month in income in order to live here permanently. I was lucky to come 14 years ago when this requirement was 1/3 of this. I am well known in the community and still live on this budget as I have a landlord who has not raised my rent and I shop and live in a Mexican Colonia. Big difference between my lifestyle and the new requirements.

You could see in the video how Francine's face was just beaming! She was truly in her "Happy Place". My future Social Security income will be enough to afford to live in such a place. I would also be able to rent out my house for much more than my mortgage, giving me additional income. But this neighborhood is 8 blocks from the beach! I'm not living that close to any beach right now. Add in the fact that PV is farther south so they don't have the chillier winters that places farther north like Southern California have. It's making PV a much more desirable place to live in my mind right now. Thanks for posting this video!

We usually visit for two weeks each winter and stay in a hotel, but we love PV so much and getting away from Canadian winters, we are considering coming for a full month or even two. We prefer to be in the heart of the city, either Romantic zone area or near the church. We fell in love with PV on our first visit, and recommend it to anyone looking for a winter getaway. Great restaurants, art galleries, a beautiful malecon and the people there are so lovely.

Would you recommend staying in an Air BnB for a month to really get a flavor of the area? Seems like most of them are geared towards beach vacations and aren’t the cheapest places by any stretch.

@@jvahl8747 PV is still very affordable, my friend just got an amazing studio at Costa Linda Condos (look up on internet) for $500 usd per month and it is all brand new. By law in Mexico - landlords may only legally request a one month deposit and you pay the first month on move in day. It is not like the USA. An honest realtor will not charge you or demand money from you. The landlord pays for the agents service. Legal leases go before a notario (judge) and each page is stamped and you recieve a factura for your money. This is rare. Most landlords rent via a contract that they is a lease but is not, and do not give you a government receipt that says they pay taxes. So at most, you are under a contract which is not legal if taken to court as the landlord is not paying taxes. So the law is in the renters court here. I have only had contracts, and have not had a problem. Also by law the maximum rental increase per year is 10%. Anything else ... walk away and this should be in your contract. If you want a recommendation for an ethical agent to help you... I recommend Ken Staral he is at ken@casasandvillas.com. He has helped me and I trust him completely. Do not rent an apartment off a facebook ad.

Hi there. They require 6 months of bank statements, that's it to show your income. When I applied 13 years ago the monthly amount was $1200 BUT you had to show $200,000 USD in non-real estate assets in the USA to get a temporal then permanente card 4 years later. So it is actually cheaper now than 13 years ago. Keep checking as things change all the time.

This is a wonderful video, as are all that I've seen from Living Overseas TV. I have a question - I don't remember seeing/hearing anything about rent control here or elsewhere. Are there guarantees that the low cost of living that Francine is enjoying will continue (I hope so!) ?
@francinebritton5939 Жыл бұрын
I have signed a long lease so I am guaranteed that my rent will not increase for quite some time. Again, Landlords here really value long term tenants who improve their property and keep it in great conditions. As far as government guarantees - legally a landlord can raise the rent from 3 to 8 percent maximum each year. I have never had a landlord increase the rent on me since I moved to Mexico in 2012. I am a great tenant and during the pandemic I paid my rent in advance for a few months to help out the landlord who was struggling during this time. It has never been forgotten that I did this. Each case is differenct, suggest you NOT work through those that list on public facebook pages unless It is Rudy. If you want an ethical agent, who will listen and work within your price range and look in areas you actually want to live in, suggest you work with Ken Staral at Cochran Realty. ken@casasandvillas.com. I recommend him 100%. Otherwide, buyer beware -many will say they can help you then show you things way above your price range in an area you don't want to live in so that they can make a biggier commision and rent less desirable properties for more than they are worth. Best is always to walk the neighborhoods you like and talk to the locals. I have had this same cost of living (usally always under a $1000 a month since I moved here in 2012.

HI there, I came and retired here at 58 and their arms were wide open to me! Many young digital nomads and their families are moving here as well. 13 years on - I made exactly the right decision. You would not regret it. Come visit us and check and see if we might be a good fit!

Hi Francine! Would it be possible to meet you? We just moved into a 2 month rental at Rivera Molino and really need help in finding a connection that can help us find another rental long term. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much and I really enjoyed both videos you were in, especially when you say "I want for nothing" That is so cool! 😊 Joe

It was a lovely apartment at an affordable rent. With a great landlord.

Did that apartment include utilities for the $620/month?
@auntielu4394 Жыл бұрын
Most of the time utilities are separate, but they are way less than in the states.

My apartment includes internet, water, gas and all utilities as well EXCEPT electricity. In February my bill for December and January was 227 pesos or 13 USD. The comment above is incorrect. The landlords here charge you extra for electricity if the rental has air conditioning. I hardly ever use A/C so that is why my bill is so reasonable. The landlords charge for electricity separately because American's and Canadians tend to run up high A/C bills in the summer. In my old place there was no air conditioning so the electric was included, and I paid no utilities.

Hi there! How did you fare during the hurricane? Ok I hope!

Thank you for asking. No problem in my neighborhood buy some parts of Puerto Vallarta lost power (electricity and internet) for a day to two weeks. Some of the low lying areas had flooding and many trees came down because of the strong winds. Overall we were very lucky considering the damage two weeks later in Acupulco.
