Need to know’s on Crime and Violence in Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta

Things are going swell in Puerto Vallarta. How is your life looking right now? Are you still in search of houses for sale in Puerto Vallarta? At our agency we are revolutionizing the future of Sol y Luna Real Estate Puerto Vallarta as we speak!

But let’s look at something bigger than us: the media tainting our beautiful Puerto Vallarta red with shed blood. Since I can remember I have seen reports on the news about how Mexico is so dangerous and full of violence. Undoubtedly I can say Mexico is one of the safest places I’ve been! Nearly all the reports of violence in Mexico are Drug-cartel related. Not very common to see some crazy guy pull a gun at school in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

So consider a couple questions:

  1. When was the last time you walked pass someone at night without observing his hands?
  1. Have you heard of executions, shootings, and so forth occurring in your home town?

Is there corruption in Mexico? YES! Is there an equal amount of corruption related to this business in the U.S.A.? YES! When you have a pair of illegal businesses that generate over $300,000,000,000 in sales you’ll find massive corruption. Make no mistake about the Mexican Drug Cartel; these “businessmen” are 100 times more sophisticated than the bumbling bootleggers opening speakeasies during Prohibition.

Sad to say, they form profitable alliances all over the U.S.A.

“What does this have to do with me?”- Well if you have followed this blog for some time you have noticed how much I speak of the beauty of Puerto Vallarta. I just can’t stand as the media continues to CHEAT Americans and Canadians out of the time of their lives! Nothing holds you back from moving to where your dreams could be. Albeit 6 months a year to get away from the cold winter; that house by the beach; watching the sun set on the bay from your huge terrace; that BBQ on Sunday with friends and the immense semi-Olympic swimming pool are at your reach!

At Sol y Luna Real Estate Puerto Vallarta we make things easy for you, finding you homes in Puerto Vallarta, houses for rent in Puerto Vallarta or condominiums in Puerto Vallarta; basically anything you can imagine related to Puerto Vallarta Real Estate we can facilitate!

The new law: 3 Puerto Vallarta Real Estate Facts

Puerto Vallarta has long been a destination of adventure and relaxation for many baby boomers and retirees. Many looking for houses in Puerto Vallarta turn to us for assistance. They relish the exquisite Puerto Vallarta lifestyle every winter and spring. Escaping the snow, cold and ice, many own Beach Houses here; like a safe haven away from the stress back home every year. Those skeptical say: “Oh please! Only the rich can afford the luxury of throwing away their money on a complete house + expenses, furniture and maintenance!” Only to find they are never satisfied and happiness eludes them because of their poor choices. It may seem impossible and that only few chosen ones are doing it. But, just last Quarter “Sol y Luna Realty” sold 4 houses, enabling 4 families a start on fulfilling their life long dreams!

“How do I start? Where do I sign?” Here are some tips:

•Value South of the

Border

We all know Mexico loves the green bills. Substantial steps have been taken to ensure and enhance foreign capital as well as property investment. The Mexican Government realizes the importance of foreign capital invested into its real estate market. Henceforth, in 1994 Mexico created a mechanism to permit foreign investment of all property, including that within the previously defined “restricted” zone. The new “Fideicomiso”, or bank trust, safeguards foreign investment by granting the trustee legal title to the property in 99 year intervals! Do you expect to live 99 years?! This trust is held at a bank of your choice, adding another level of protection since Mexico is not going to go head-to-head with a banking giant like HSBC over a piece of land!

•Further options

I wrote another post containing more information. Give it a read and express your feelings and concerns on the matter property investment.

 

•Title Insurance

Options are vast and accessible. There exist many companies in support of North Americans and other foreign investors. If you are searching for more information about insurance or creditors for houses, check out these websites: www.stewarttitle.com , www.solylunarealty.com/creditors.php or www.firstam.com

Sol y Luna Real Estate in Puerto Vallarta has years of experience with all such related legal work. We would be honored to guide you along the way, ensuring you get all your paper work properly completed and in order. We specialize in a great variety of houses in Puerto Vallarta and everything related to Real Estate in Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay.

SOPA and PIPA blacklist on real Estate?

Lately the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act) new legislations that were sitting on the table of Congress in the USA to be potentially voted into law. While the original purpose of the SOPA bill is to stop piracy of copyrighted intellectual property such as movies, tv shows, video games & software, many risks are raised in Small websites. It could affect our Sol y Luna Real Estate so we fight back!

SOPA & PIPA consecuences

This will happen with the little guys' websites!

4 things of ADVANTAGE in Puerto Vallarta

Last week while strolling down the Puerto Vallarta Malecon I realized something interesting about a tourist. He lacked that predictable smell of Sunblock, the high socks and fanny pack- he also had some scars on his leg. Asking him how he got them; his wife, being Mexican herself said he’s “learning the Mexican way”. Acknowledging her husband’s bravery she said they moved here recently and he’s the adventure type.

What made this couple move to Vallarta? They mentioned 4 things:

  • The beautiful scenery: mountainous regions enveloping the port like a shield protective of this wealthy beach town.
  • The fresh, un-ending shiny blue ocean (They love to go on ships and “pangas”).
  • Vast array of delicacies from the sea! (No wonder they enjoy boat rides).
  • The simplicity of life in a beach town, such as Puerto Vallarta. and they love the laid back citizens and the immeasurable things to do here!

We will talk more about those aspects next time!

Meanwhile, HOW can YOU, acquire what that couple already has? Here in Fluvial Vallarta you have a wonderful team ready to help you. See for yourself at Coto Entre Rios Fluvial properties! In Sol y Luna Real Estate we aren’t just interested in selling houses in Puerto Vallarta or rent in Fluvial Vallarta; we REALLY care for and want your happiness.

Why you aren’t living in Vallarta.

It’s that time of year again! Puerto Vallarta is full into the tourist season with vacationing families basking in the sun. Many long time frequenters of Vallarta make it their custom to come 6 months out of every year, many have been doing this for +30 years!

28.2% love staying at Luxurious Resorts that make everything to perfection. They offer professional and constant attention. As nice as that may be, so much “order” and “perfection” is not what life was supposed to be! This is Mexico! If you only stay in a high-end resort you are missing out! You have to experience the simple, placid and traditional Mexican lifestyle. Imagine waking up to the noise of birds chirping; public transportation and the smell of fresh “tamales” down the street. I’m not putting the resorts down; I have personally enjoyed them in the past, I just see the endless emotional and spiritual blessings of living in this astonishing place.

Ask yourself:

  • Have you ever walked past a school yard in Mexico?
  • When was the last time you went to a public Park in Mexico?
  • When was the last time you had GREAT street stand tacos?
  • Did someone call you “Vecino” this morning on their way to work/school?
  • Have you ever been invited to a traditional celebration by someone?
  • Have you ever shared an exquisite meal in a Mexican household?

These experiences make you feel at home. Contemplate for a moment just WHY you come to Mexico? Is it the food? Get-away from stress? As an escape from the In-Laws? Adventure? Romance?

Now make that YOURS every day. It’s not that difficult, Mexico is NOT how the Media paints it. Be it 6 months out of the year or indefinitely you can make a great life here.

Fortunately, you have at your disposal a team ready to; assist finding your dream home; help you settle in and guide you along the process. Should you choose to reside in an area of Mexico that is Tranquil, Beautiful and Sophisticated such as Fluvial Vallarta or a general area like Downtown Puerto Vallarta; here at Sol y Luna Real Estate we really care and want you to be happy, so contact us today for houses for rent and houses for sale in Puerto Vallarta and Fluvial Vallarta.

4 ways to know what the new year will bring for YOU

Here in Fluvial Vallarta we are getting settled in on paperwork for Real Estate in Puerto Vallarta2012, getting our houses for sale in Fluvial and closing papers on the most recent property sale. We are set to look at next year with eyes of enthusiasm. But starting the new year seems frightening… Not because it’s 2012 supposedly the end of the world! More because we ask “what will be of me tomorrow?”

Thinking about the New year?

Thinking about the New Year?

Here are 4 ways to know:

  • Who am I today?

Having a clear sight on what you want to achieve TODAY is most important. When you are doing things the right way you know you are on the “right way”. Javier Rodriguez, our “Jefe” here at Sol y Luna mentioned that he got his success by “seeing who I would be tomorrow, by seeing who I am today”. Be good for yourself, do things right for yourself and you will be good and in the right later on- he added.

  • Who will I be tomorrow?

Are you a grown up? Have you grown out of things like playing or dreaming? Why does that matter? Your childhood dreams, for example being a cowboy or a superhero may very well define what type of person you will be. “Happyness” (from the movie “The pursuit of happyness“) is deserving to Strong people, those who despite trials and errors in this life keep those dreams intact. As hard as it may be, still conserve those dreams close to your heart because they are who you still are deep down inside. What you do today defines what you will be doing in the future. Want to see yourself in the future? Look in the mirror today.

  • Who do I want to be?

I heard from a friend who is a computer technician: “I wanted to be considered as a Computer Doctor, so I wore a white robe every day at work and talked about computers as if they were patients with “symptoms, allergies and remedies”. People started to call me Doctor!”. He wanted to be something, be “someone”. He lived each day as if he already was, doing what he knew best. Joy followed as he reached his goal.

  • Where do I want to be?

    Can you think about a Future here?

    Can you think about a Future here?

Some of us work like dogs to make a living, to make ends meet, some of us work so much just to build up on a future we would like for ourselves! Have you seen yourself in the future by looking at the mirror today? I have. I am already living in a wonderful place! People work for 50 tireless years dealing with taxes, economy, stress, and other problems just to be able to retire in a place like this! I already live in the future I would like. I already live in a home called Puerto Vallarta. A place with beautiful houses and condos. Amazing views and beautiful beaches. wonderful food and friendly people. Here in Sol y Luna Real Estate we want to help people to get settled into that future. Houses in Fluvial and Puerto Vallarta for you!

Christmas traditions in Puerto Vallarta

Here in Fluvial Vallarta we didn’t see the “Posadas” or “Peregrinaciones”, you may think we don’t see much but in the Malecon of Puerto Vallarta these days you can see the people of Vallarta strolling the streets with their families, all bundled up and having fun, smiling and rejoicing. Seeing family and friends around the Traditional “Posadas” and “Peregrinaciones” of Mexico. We see it’s that time of year again. And questions such like “Who is my family? Who am I grateful for this year? What will be of them next year, and will they still be there?” Read More…
