Hi Malika. I enjoy watching your videos. Yes. Cartess helped me find this great spot! It's funny that you say that about my voice because, although I'm not licensed as a therapist and don't practice, I was trained to be one. The work is too heavy for me. But I am a certified life coach. 😅

The AC on with windows open isn’t great for the owner. They get CFE credits but you are letting their savings go out the window. When you get your own place you’ll see how conserving electricity is important. Great place. Crazy expensive but beautiful. Good luck!
@HeatherICreateMyPath8 ай бұрын
Thanks for the info on the AC. I keep the AC set to 28 in the bedrooms to manage the humidity and close those doors. There's no AC in the living areas but the incoming breezes take care of that. Believe me, I've owned multiple homes, and I respect energy use.

How would I go about securing an apartment with bad credit (just had recent issues) but have $5k pension and a small savings of $30K?
@HeatherICreateMyPath8 ай бұрын
@gcchair7634 Hi, sorry about your credit issue. Im assuming it was in the US. You'll be happy to know that no credit check was done when I rented my apartment. You may have to pay first month's and a deposit of some sort. It is up to the landlord. I did have to pay a couple hundred for legal fees to draw up the rental agreement. That was it.

I carefully studied other folks who were unhappy here. One of their main issues is freedom lost by not having a car. I worked purchasing a car into my budget, and I chose to buy from a dealership because I wanted the warranty and inspection. Being a points girl, I used my travel card to earn points toward my trip this summer.🤣 Of course, I paid it off in the cycle. No interest payments wanted!

@HeatherICreateMyPath great place! Did you need to form a trust, corporation etc. to buy a house there? I've only heard one couple mentioning this? Conkal?🍀
@HeatherICreateMyPath8 ай бұрын
@jvahl8747 Yes. If you purchase within 50 miles to the beach, a trust is necessary for those who aren't Mexican citizens. The trust is set up with a bank, and the process is handled through a notary. Angel is guiding me through the process. It's not difficult, but there are a number of things that need to happen. I wouldn't want to try it without an experienced person on my side, explaining everything. That's why I work with Angel.
@jvahl87478 ай бұрын
@@HeatherICreateMyPath that's for sure! No one else purchasing there had mentioned this requirement. Is there a set fee for a trust or do they base it upon the purchase price? Hoping to get a picture of the complete costs of buying. Thank you and best of luck 🍀🙏

I believe most are set fees. If you can, please drop that question in the "Ask Angel Anything" thread. That way, I can be sure you'll get the correct answer.

Hi @jkeeton5297 . There are busses and Uber, so it's not essential to have a car. I like exploring, and sometimes it may be challenging to get an Uber to go between Progreso and Mérida at night because they may not easily find a passenger for the return trip. Getting a car or not depends on your lifestyle. In my opinion, it's a great addition.

Hi Jim. Thanks for checking out my video. It's definitely possible to find less expensive apartments in Mérida and its surroundings. My place is a good fit for me. 😁 About the house...it's 115k USD.
