2010 Top Picks: Best Bargains in Travel

January 5, 2010

Although I saw some awesomely great travel deals in 2009, I’m expecting to see some even better deals this year.  Why? Well, the economy still sucks if you haven’t heard, and globally everyone is feeling the financial pain.  However, this is great news for those of us who love to travel! So, dust off your passport (or friggin’ get one already!), and let’s go travel!

Mexico

Horse Riding in Mexico

Horse Riding in Mexico

I went to Mexico about 5 or 6 times last year, and it remains to be one of the best bargain destinations in my opinion.  There still remains some hesitation for travelers due to past Swine Flu outbreaks and ongoing drug wars, but I can attest that I, along with many other travelers have returned happy, healthy, and nicely tanned.

One of my favorite spots in Baja Mexico is Las Gaviotas.  It is about a 45-minute drive from the border just past Rosarito, when coming in from San Diego, California. Note: Get the Mexican Auto Insurance before driving your vehicle into the country.  Las Gaviotas is a gated community, which offers a secure environment with a pool, Jacuzzi, a private beach, and a bitchin’ right surfbreak.  There are many amazing homes for rent, ranging from $100-$200 USD per night for a two-bedroom house, or $225 USD per night for a six-bedroom house accommodating up to 12 people.   read more »

Seaside Vacation Homes – Save Money South of the Border

Vacation Homes – Save Money South of the Border - Las Ventanas in Rosarito Beach

Vacation Homes – Save Money South of the Border - Las Ventanas in Rosarito Beach

If you’re looking for the best seaside vacation homes at the most affordable prices, Mexico has the lot to offer when it comes to ocean views, sunsets, water sports, activities, and amenities in their vacation home rentals.

It wasn’t that long ago when foreigners of Mexico were not allowed to own or invest in beachfront real estate, which left a lot of “would be” buyers frustrated, knowing there was cheap oceanfront property available in a prime location but the opportunity to own or invest in beachfront real estate in Mexico was nil.

In 2005 the government of Mexico enacted fideicomiso, which is roughly translated to mean real estate trust, making it possible for US and other foreign investors to purchase the cheap oceanfront property available, making Mexico a popular spot for exclusive luxury style residences and a haven for beachfront real estate investments

Baja Developers Halt Is this a sign of good things to come?

August 3, 2009
One of the developments that never stopped construction

Calafia Condos: One of the developments that never stopped construction

With the collapse of the money markets on both sides of the border, it had become almost impossible –or so it seamed- for Baja developers to finish their projects.

Finding investors or financing for the final completion of their development seemed impossible. The financial situation in the U.S. did not make matters any better. Potential buyers stopped investing in Mexico because of the economy. Current buyers began to doubt the developers’ ability to complete their development.  In the last few days –and weeks- however, we have seen a change.

Could it be the end of the bad times for the region? Here are some clues: read more »

Why Is This A Good Time To Buy Real Estate In Mexico

Why Is This A Good Time To Buy Real Estate In Mexico

Why Is This A Good Time To Buy Real Estate In Mexico

With the current uncertainty in the U.S. stock and real estate market, property values going down and the cost of living going up from every direction, where can you turn to for some market stability and economic relief? Look south of the border, invest your money in the many real estate opportunities on Baja, Mexico.  Where there is more than great weather, no hurricanes, a peaceful atmosphere, it’s close to the border plus many different things to see and do.

Reasons to invest in Baja Real estate :

1) Mexican real estate is not affected by the current housing crisis afflicting the U.S., it’s a totally different market with a different economy, separate laws as well as separate governments. This means that your property value will not go down because U.S. properties are, and decisions made by U.S. government officials do not affect the conditions of your Fideicomiso or Trust Agreement . read more »

Another Day in Baja

June 8, 2009

This weekend in Baja !!
NEWS FROM BAJA:

Robby Gordon Monster Energy Truck Baja 500 June 6, 2009

Robby Gordon Monster Energy Truck Baja 500 June 6, 2009

Yesterday, two luxury power boats were passing each other in front of Calafia Resort and Villas at the tip of Descanso bay in Northern Baja, one going south and the other going north in what was a beautiful sunny day with surfers out all over and the Baja 500 race underway just south in Ensenada.

Today, while headed north toward the San Diego border, my wife noticed no less the 25 power boats off the coast near Playas. Was there some kind of boating event going on or were people just out enjoying another beautiful day in Baja?

Surfers have enjoyed 3 days of 4 to 7 foot sets from a new south swell which was really lining up in front of Las Gaviotas and to north at Calafia.

And to top it off the Monster energy truck driven by Robby Gordon won the overall trophy truck with a great finish time of 8:35:49 only to be topped by the pro class motorcycle team riding a Honda 450x with a elapsed time of 8:30.

Just another fun filled weekend in Baja!!!
