Si Ajijic está súper caro, por eso compramos más bien en San Nicolás cerca del Country Club, ahí tenemos muy bonitas vistas a una fracción del costo de un terreno en Ajijic. Además no queda tan lejos de nosotros. A unos 20min máximo. Gracias por dejarme un mensaje. Saludos! 😊

Saludos my friend. I’m glad to hear you love Mexico. Thanks for leaving me comment. I didn’t know that in Irán 🇮🇷 they build the ceilings the same way 😳. In mexico they call this style of roof “catalan” I like the style of exposed brick. My brothers house is done with a flat ceiling, but he made a room in a form of “cupola”. You should take look at my newest video. Its in there. I hope you too retire in Mexico and enjoy its people. 👍🏼😊

[@adriansalas8478]

Greetings from California! The home looks great, I really like that you put a foundation down and built on top of it. For me that’s one of the most important things you can do. Most other videos that I’ve seen just build on top of what’s already there. With the seasonal flooding that occurs from time to time in the rural communities, I think that protecting your home is extremely important. I firmly believe that setting down a good foundation increases the longevity of your home. Your video encourages me to move forward with my retirement plans now. I was just talking to my wife about an hour ago in regards that we should buy land and start building our retirement home in Jalisco outside of Guadalajara. My family is from Nayarit, but we have family nearby in Guadalajara as well. For me it’s a great investment at 1/3 of the price of homes in California. Not to mention that our retirement money will go much further in Mexico than it would in the states. I look forward to your upcoming videos and keep up the good work!

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Hello Adrian, thanks for leaving me a comment. It’s an advantage when we have locals building the home, since they know the area, what has worked and what hasn’t. We went with what the builder suggested after he explained why he would do it in such way. We agreed on it, and I’m very happy with it. I agree with you completely, money goes further in Mexico, we can have a better quality of life by retiring in Mexico. I’ll be placing a video of lots being sold in my area, maybe you will be encouraged to buy in the same community. 😊

Fantastic. I really appreciate finding solid, real-world information like this. I spent a lot of time motorcyling Centro and South America, with an eye to expat investigation. I have been evaluating escape plans for 30 years. 54, now, and narrowing down locations and resources. I would much rather cave a brick, concrete, steel and glass home in MX than a US stick and paper home for 4x the price. Looking at Merida, GTO, QRO, etc. Keep up the good work.

[@dennishassler605]

Merida is an excellent choice. I prefer the west coast like Huatulco or PV. The sooner you go the richer your life for certain!!! I'm hoping to sell my big home and find something in Mex. so I can just stay in Mex.

[@JoseTorres-vp6sk]

I totally understand your frustration with the cabinet guy(s). We've been building a 3-story house in Zacatecas for over 10 years now. When it's not the cabinet guy(s), it's the electrician(s), the plumber(s) or the metal worker(s) for some doors....they're all very unprofessional. They ask for half the money (upfront) to start the work, but never meet deadlines when completing the work. Then you end up chasing after them, which in turn, causes most projects to turn out poorly done (just so that they can say that the job is complete). Good luck with your house....great video by the way.

I separated from my wife 2 years ago, and my kids are all grown up now, and I want to retire next year. I love the idea of being somewhere where the people are warm, friendly and likeminded. I have done a lot of research on where to retire, and Mexico ticks all the boxes for me. Australian summers hit the 40's and I am no longer a fan of the heat! My kids are 100% behind me, and are looking forward to come and visit me in Mexico. It also gives me a base so I can travel around Mexico and experience the culture. After my short visit in December, I will go back home, finish my work year, and firstly rent for 6 months and eventually look at purchasing a home. Cheers mate, John

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

@@javierortegaarrayga7102 hello Xavier. If I take out 26k out of the 108k spent. The house is build to have three room or two rooms and one office, but I opted to leave it open as a patio for now till I figure out exactly what I want. The home is 185 m2. Or about 2000 sf. The cost per meter is about 450$ per m2. Hope this helps. But price always changes depending on foundation type, ceiling Type and the amount of luxury you decide to have in your home.

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Sorry I forgot to say why I discounted the 26k. That’s for the Lot, ownership transfer, architect.

I build in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, construction is similar except for the ceiling and type of bricks used, we use 6 inch blocks that are super hard, Ceilings or roof is steel reinforced poured concrete, the smooth outer finish looks similar to our stucco, the house is coming out great, not like the flimsy homes in the US lol

[@doloresmex12]

Thank you for sharing, good luck with everything!!!!

[@janiepecina3057]

First time watching your channel, thank you for the break down it really gives you an idea of everything you must think 🤔 about. The price for the window is a great price. Your home is looking lovely.

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Hello Janie. I was a bit surprised as well, my dad found the herrero in the local town of San Nicolás. I think we just got him at good time since he quoted my brother a lot more to do his windows. I think he was quoted 8k. He has a lot more windows then i do, but it’s still more expensive then it was for me. I think at the time he didn’t have work because of the pandemic 😷.

[@JulioGonzalez-bg7yv]

Congrats my dad is in the process of building his too. Just not in chapala.... but cuahctemoc.

[@living_letty269]

looking good! I am also building my home in Leon, Gto....cant wait to see finish product love the views of the mountains & seems to be a quite area. ✨😉 saludos✨

[@timbranton1709]

We are in Leon also and looking to buy. We were told building may be a better option.

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Hello Tim, I really enjoyed the building aspect, for some its stressful, but for me it was exciting to see everything come along. I think you get more for your money by building IMO. Sorry for late answer.

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Hello Living Kitty, thanks for leaving me a comment. I wish you the best in your home build as well. :-)

[@Heavyhitta509]

Really nice house your lot is huge. Which makes it worth it cause you can buy a nice luxurious house for that price in mexico but no yard. I want to Build in CD guzman eventually.

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Very true, the reason I liked this place was due to location close to lake. But having the yard made it that more interesting to me.

[@berniecathygraney1024]

Excellent video. Beautiful home.

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Thank you 😊

[@johntejeda6482]

Enjoyed the video and your design especially the craftsmanship in the construction and foundation. At this point it is a lovely home, well done. I am from Texas and will say this hone tops go as here. Continue in your endeavors and bless you and your home. Viva Mexico, my mother was born SLP area.

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Thank you John 😀

[@desertflower6181]

$150K for this house is phenomenal. Your dad has done a beautiful job.

[@chanelsmith1985]

Thank you for the video. My husband & I want to move to Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco within a year or two. We want to rent for our first year but after that we are wanting to buy or build a home. Your price is actually cheaper than most hone we have found with little yard and less space so this gives me some hope with building. The biggest thing is finding land at a decent price that is in the area we want to be in. No matter what, either is cheaper than here in the states which I love. Lol. But this really did help and this home is beautiful and I love that the yard is big.

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Thank you for sharing Chanel. I wish you the best on your build 😊😊😊

[@hanka5959]

Congratulations, beautiful house you have.

[@albertg4029]

Thank you for sharing your journey. I wish I saw your video earlier. I was in Chapala 2 weeks ago looking at the area. Albert,

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Hello Albert. Did you like it? Which places did you visit?

[@albertg4029]

@@yeshuaismyredeemer Hello Victor correct? Yes, second time in 6 months! I stayed in Ajijic and Ixctalhoacan de Membrillos ( best friends parents home). I’m in Los Angeles and fell in Love with the area. I lived in Michoacán for about 5 years and really love the feeling in Mexico. I feel safe in Guadalajara, although I have 20 years until I retire, I’m looking now. Gracias for your time hermano. Albert

[@ElCanalDelPadrino]

Subscribed, because I love the name of your channel!

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Awesome thank you and God bless you

[@btrflyjohnson3452]

Congratulations on your beautiful new home. May I ask if the fence around the property is necessary?

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Hello, yes unfortunately, we have farm land all around us, which include cows and horses, the locals let them loose so they forge on all the greenery. It will eventually stop once we have security for the community put that’s still some time out. When I didn’t have the fence the cows would be in the back yard and make a mess.

[@arturofernandez7717]

Thank you for the information planning to build down south in my hometown

[@Amarillobymorning777]

Más las comidas pa’ los maestros albañiles, electricistas y Plomero’s . Plus the lunch food for everyone who was working on it ( electric crew, masonry workers, painters etc..) Looking good . Falto la chimenea. Tal vez dos : Una en la sala y la otra en el dormitorio principal.

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Si quizás me anime hacer una chimenea ya después 😃

[@djmoendjlatinoentertainmen5259]

We doing the same thing in between my dad and brothers and the state of colima we building a home for my parents when they retire I recommend it

[@RiaLV]

I was born in mexico and my brother does construction in Torreon, but more and more I would love to retire there. How safe is this area?? I am from Zacatecas but I have been in America for over 45 years so I have a disconnect. I LOVE your channel!!!!

[@yeshuaismyredeemer]

Maria thanks for subscribing 😊. This area has about 20-30k expats in the area, well know for their safety. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid as long as I can remember there’s never been a major issue. Unfortunately the US paints Mexico as unsafe because of cartels but cartels have nothing to do with us regular people wanting to live and help people, much like the Mafia in the US has nothing to do with the regular people in the US. I really recommend this place I hope one day you can visit there. Soon I’ll be posting a video of why I love Chapala. Stay tuned 😊
