it would be nice to see a drone view of the neighborhoods, stores, restaurants etc.

Thank you! This is a great video showing what you can get based on one’s budget!!!

[@AshleyKeith-vw7ws]

The cost of living seems to be increasing every year, making it harder to keep up.

[@LeahLewis-ny9iu]

Indeed , it's becoming quite challenging to manage expenses.

[@MelissaHobbs-qm8wi]

I've actually managed to stay ahead of the curve. I'm even contemplating early retirement.

[@MelissaHobbs-qm8wi]

@OliverLiam-px3vx Our family got introduced to a financial consultant”DESIREE RUTH HOFFMAN .” about four years before my dad retired. That was what changed things, and I think my retirement income will be on the right track, luxury cars and trips

[@ChloeCarter-kd7gz]

Wow, that's impressive! I've heard of them I'm excited to hear about their success stories. I've actually had my mortgage paid off by following their guidelines calls.

It must be cheap for foreigners, for locals it's a nightmare

[@Paxevo]

Yes, for many foreigners we come from countries that don’t have rampant government corruption, narco terrorists, and socialist economies. It allows our currency to purchase assets in these poorly run countries. Hopefully Mexican citizens can demand more from their leaders, and locals will have a better future. Until then, embrace the foreigners that come with our currency to prop up the economy in Baja.

[@MSE9107]

@@Paxevo I’ll embrace my fist down your throat. Stop acting like you own this country. You act all entitled coming here to get the life your mediocre job can’t afford you to have in your country. Hypocrisy…. Canadians and Americans complain about the poor foreigners taking their jobs and the rich ones pricing you out of your cities, and then you turn and do the same to us. It feels so good to hear when an American gets in trouble down here. You all seem to think we like you, but in reality it’s the opposite. You will always be a target here, and eventually you’ll get in trouble.

Haha yeah half down and 14% interest for foreign buyers and a 10 year max term

but is the water warm?

[@augusthallmann96]

like s. Cal.

[@ScarySpots]

65-70 during the winter and 90+ in the summer but air temps in summer are 100+ with humidity

[@deborahhilgenberg7855]

Only in summer. Not swimmable in the city itself, too much pollution.

[@BubbleGum-s5c]

The constant glare of sun and no trees would distress me. Also, residency visa financial requirements have recently increased dramatically to $43 - $45,000/ month.

[@BubbleGum-s5c]

oops, a correction. $4,300 - $4,500/month.

Cost more than the United States now and the new government is very scary now be careful things are changing in Mexico

Yo soy mexicano y lo que dices es una mierda mentirosa. Este gobierno ya no se baja Los pantalones al gobierno malvado de eua. Y eso es lo que les duele a Los gringos que su pais se cae a pedazos😂😂😂😂

[@mikebailey5127]

I'm interested in a spot to bring my rv

[@MrMC-xg8qp]

La Paz looks like a desert to me plus a lot of Mexicans have barking dogs that keep you up all night and day. We lived in Playa Del Carmen for 6 months and this drove us crazy. Most owners act like they can't hear the dogs barking and just sit there. This is very annoying. The infrastructure needs major improvement plus there are 2 prices, one for locals and one for tourists, this is absurd. I have my residency in Mexico so trust me when I say, you're being ripped off.

[@carlosvillegas6113]

I live on the states, and my neighbors dog barks all night long

[@ikerteuscher]

Awesome... we don`t want you here. Everybody wins

[@helenequinn]

The land is too dry & no palm trees. Not very lush to me. Almost desolate surroundings.

[@edelmendoza2475]

Nadie te nesesita Aqui.

[@augusthallmann96]

in mex . the locals even in towns or city …..keep chickens and roosters .they will wake you up at 3-4:00am every day

[@scottjohnson3552]

that is a complete misnomer! They do NOT wait until 3 AM to start and they do not STOP at 4AM. Where I am it more about barking dogs (fricken Chihuahuas) and Party venues that go till 2;30 am.

[@kemosabe5120]

You won't hear them over the barking dogs in every yard.

[@artemisapelaez6902]

Maybe in the mainland but not here in Baja California Sur

[@jesuslopez-fe7dv]

If that was the problem, México wouldn't have any problems. Cartels ARE the problem.

[@MSE9107]

If that bothers you, why don’t you stay in the US? You want to come here, buy the homes Mexicans can’t afford and complain about how people live here? Mexico is not your country or an extension, stop treating it like it is or as if you had a claim to it.

[@mex5341]

as local I can say you won't find any good less than 2 mdp . Only Infonavit houses but never seen gringos lived in

[@debdecassia1495]

[@edelmendoza2475]

Jajajajaja andas drogado.

[@Troy-nc5br]

I travel to merida Mexico several times a year and stay there I would highly suggest going to the state of Yucatan Baja isn't safe at all it has a travel warning and after the last incident with 2 Australian tourists and a American tourist I understand why Merida is the safest city in Mexico and more affordable than Baja

[@edelmendoza2475]

Jajaja Los estadounidenses tienen un pais que se cae a pedazos y se asustan de mexico?? Jajaja eso es hipocrecia compañero.

[@scottjohnson3552]

He is showing places in Cemetario, errr Centenario. To say that Centenerio is 10 minutes from the Malecon is just not true. Its 10 minutes from WalMart maybe - which is ATLEAST another 15 minutes to the Malecon. And the Malecon is where it is at. All the roads in Centenario are dirt and it covers everything, and it really isn't La Paz IMHO. It is a cloistered Am/Can area. There are Mexicans there, but not many and they often are serving the ExPats. We tend to not even bother getting to know folks that live there because of the distance (mostly). Also, every other ExPat and every 10 educated Mexican in La Paz is selling RE so you damn sure don't want to work with someone who i based in Cabo.

[@BubbleGum-s5c]

Yes, in MX anyone can call themselves realtors. A fair amt of scams exist and expats/investors have few legal recourses.

[@juanlopez1973]

They are all great places!

[@liviervilla6045]

For the first two houses, heard how many bedrooms, but not how many bathrooms. Also, laundry room? Was in La Paz 54 years ago, and loved it.

[@ScarySpots]

😂 not even close, hidden gem with 400,000 people and hardly anyone speaking English. I have been going here in my RV since 2021 and nothing is under $200k unless you are a local and live in the locals area. Yes the billionaires have yachts out in the harbor but they don’t go there often. Balandra is the most difficult beach to get to since they restrict access. Much better beaches and the winter water temps are 65-70.

[@ikerteuscher]

Right on... less people = more quality of life for us mexicans living in Baja MEXICO

[@AbbieWilliams-u5i]

[@susancowlishaw2434]

Clickbait title. The $138,000 home is a dump which, according to you, will cost an additional $200,000 to update. 👎👎👎

[@trekmanone1676]

I have friends in La Paz and you are right, US$138K house is a dump. It will need fixing up. Also, cartel crime in La Paz has grown significantly the last 5 years which puts La Paz in top 10 dangerous Mexican cities to live. Thus housing prices have actually dropped as a result. Cabo San Lucas is also in the top 10 dangerous cities.. Tijuana competes the Baja Pensinsula 3 cities in Mexico's top 10 most dangerous. The manufacturing nearshoring to Mexico has it's economy booming thus higher inflation and a peso that has increased in value 30% against the USD. In other words, Mexican real real estate just cost 30% more for each USD. A lot of expats gringos living on just government pension are finding they can't make ends meet with just a pension versus 10 years ago. I have lived in Mexico 8 years now and are starting to witness expats returning north due to increased costs in Mexico. Rent, hosuing, food, clothing... healthcare has remained a bargain though. You are correct, this is clickbait video only thus I had to thumbs down.

[@rkneale1]

He said $200,000 all-in multiple times in the video. That’s an addditional $62,000 to update.

[@r.canales9461]

Fletcher, you live there and likely have lived there for years. PLEASE learn how to pronounce the name of the place. It’s not pronounced like Big Sur in California. It’s a “u” in Spanish that sounds more like “tour”. I can’t really think of an English word that uses a hard “u”. To us Spanish speakers, hearing “sur” mispronounced is like running your nails on a blackboard. You can do this!

[@Dan-departingin5mins]
