One of the public companies that I'm working with actually has a buy option on large area of land just 15 minutes west of the Cancun airport. Monarch Cancun. Retails a 1/4 acre lot with 3 bdrm 3 bath hacienda style housing for about 250k. I can get em for 200k wholesale through some connections, but the only catch is to get wholesale you need 10 people to buy in.
I've only ever personally been to Puerta Vallarta for my honeymoon - but I've always wanted to take a look at the ruins on the other side. Perhaps before I sell my property, I'll actually use it once and check that area out.
Good luck to you Tully, and don't sweat it too much  |
15 minutes west of Cancun? I'd write that check. That's the only area I'd even consider, it's still very laid back and crime free. It's Cancun and south that has become a nightmare.
The ruins are great. I picked this area in part to explore some of the ruins. I've been to places like Chichen Itza and Uxmal 15-20 times. I've now taken to locating obscure Mayan sites via satellite data and my GPS. I have some friends, they're trying to get more funding for more digs. I met them in the middle of nowhere, they had a flat in their rental car. Every once an while I get an e-mail saying "Hey, we're looking at this on the sat photos, think you can go see whats there?"
BTW- no one here has any carpet, all tile. But I like your twisted style all the same.

Yes and no. I regularly have dinner, play cards etc.. with my other neighbors. The problem is this area is all gringos. Hanging out with them won't do anything as the folks really angry with this guy are local Mexicans.
And yes, every one of my neighbors dislikes this guy as well. Least I've got company. I found out the other day one of my neighbor sat on their porch sipping margaritas and watched as this guys house was robbed. They told me if his house burned down the only thing they'd do is try to roast marshmallows.
Most of my neighbors will be headed north here soon and I'll be back to living on the street all to myself.
