I rented Casa Azul about 10 years ago - lovely spot close everything. Traffic was loud at night and the ceiling fans couldn't keep up with the heat but, hey, it's Mexico. Best of luck!

[@MexicoMattandAli]

You just have to go with the flow when here. Sometimes we are able to, and sometimes things here get the best of our sanity.

[@Teporame]

What do you mean with “hey, it’s Mexico”. Sounds condescending and demeaning. Nobody is forcing you to go or live in Mexico. Many Expats are in Mexico precisely because it is so different from the USA.

[@MexicoMattandAli]

@@Teporame Sorry, never saw this. We love Mexico. We also love the US, but we chose to move to Mexico. We often say "This is Mexico." It's not the US or Canada, so for anyone that expects things to work precisely the same as the northern countries they will be surprised. We spend a lot of time trying to improve our new home city, investing in saving street dogs and cats, and raising money and working on remodeling and rebuilding the homes of lower income families. Take care!

[@i1rgt001]

It will be exciting to see how la casa comes along.

[@jonathantalsma2935]

Top all the trees blocking the ocean view. Your making it happen👍

[@JordanMoyerFit]

Wow looks like a nice street for sure

[@jimji2774]

Nice video. Can really see what a property looks like there especially how mountainous it is. So how much did you pay for this ? I assume you are planning on renting out part of it ?

[@safewaytravel6540]

Is there a chapter 3…? We want to see more…

[@janebiancan.8726]

Venicos! Felicidades 💕

[@ziggyc4474]

U can even Airbandb it that place is becoming a tourist destination

[@neilkorn786]

How is the pickleball? Are there real courts? How far is it away from the new house?

[@stephaniemurphy3973]

Wow. Congrats. Glad for you guys. Can you recommend a couple places for a single girl to stay. Near or on the water or near town?

[@MexicoMattandAli]

I can definitely recommend an area, but depends on what you are looking for, and price. Give me more details and I can probably give a better answer. La Ropa has a great beach, but it's a bit from town and a little more expensive. La Madera is our favorite place, on the beach and walking distance, and a little cheaper. Centro has a beach, too, and cheap places to stay.

[@jehadhefni2363]

did you rented this house or bought it? and how much did it cost ?

[@evangrey5937]

wow this place is amazing ! are you still there ? Any updated videos of the place now ? thanks!

[@MexicoMattandAli]

Yes, we have shown the entire process of rebuilding. I need to do another one soon. It looks a lot different now!

[@basedjohn9676]

Is this in Playa Madera? I love Zihuatenejo

[@MexicoMattandAli]

Yep in Playa La Madera.

[@sindyarce5107]

What a beautiful feeling to buy a house especially In zihuatanejo thats my dream I am currently in the u.s working two jobs so I can do the same😩🙌

[@dennishassler605]

Yes, Zihuatanejo is a nice area and I never forget buying excellent coffee there in the Central Market. The weather is excellent and the beaches are nice - some a bit difficult to access. Good luck in your new home, but LOTS OF WORK TO DO!!!

[@davidmiller767]

How much did you spend in dollars??

[@garywarner9638]

Is it difficult to play pickleball nearby (for this February) or can I just show up?

[@MexicoMattandAli]

Just show up! They have everything you need to play.

[@hedson2536]

I'm selling a piece of Land in a flat area, one of the last in La Noria. 10 minutes away from the downtown.

[@MexicoMattandAli]

We have friends there. Nice neighborhood.

[@hedson2536]

Yes it is. I grew up there but im Living in Germany since 11 years.

[@garywarner9638]

Wondering very roughly what I should expect to pay for a similar property in the same area?

[@MexicoMattandAli]

We bought 2 1/2 years ago, so it's hard to say now. There are several realtor sites online with available properties, and that should give you a good idea of what homes, condos, and land are going for now. Best of luck!

[@safewaytravel6540]

Where is chapter 3..?

[@MexicoMattandAli]

Thanks! Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqC0mpJriJp3g5o

[@ziggyc4474]

Is there financing there 🤔?

[@MexicoMattandAli]

Possibly through the banks. I'd recommend talking to a realtor or banker here.

[@bichonabichi5145]

*Colonia La Madera?*

[@MexicoMattandAli]

Yup!

[@hoppeanofasgard1365]

Was there a reason you bought this house after the condo? did you end up selling the condo for some reason?

[@MexicoMattandAli]

We live in the house, and the condo is a rental unit.

[@hoppeanofasgard1365]

@@MexicoMattandAli Ah ok It's an absolutely beautiful condo by the way, is there any chance you can still find condos of this size that are beach front for 245k or have prices risen since then?

[@MrKrishluv]

How much??

[@MexicoMattandAli]

Rental prices are on the website! Zihuatravels.com

[@AlphaMale_1]

Security bars on all windows... ... enjoy the views. .

[@MexicoMattandAli]

Thanks Tom! Take care.
