Best Places In The World To Retire

Once you find your dream home in Vallarta Nayarit, the next step is how to finance it. 

 

We often hear people say: some day when we retire, or some day when I win the lottery, or some day when the kids are grown.  They are thinking about how they can cash out from their home and investments in Canada or US to finance a home in Mexico.  A better way is to consider right now to use the equity in your Canadian or American home as leverage for a...

We often hear people say: some day when we retire, or some day when I win the lottery, or some day when the kids are grown.  They are thinking about how they can cash out from their home and investments in Canada or US to finance a home in Mexico.  A better way is to consider right now to use the equity in your Canadian or American home as leverage for a line or credit or reverse mortgage to buy the property in Vallarta Nayarit.  

 

With interest rates so low, this is often the best way to finance your property.  And, especially if you are planning to use your Mexican home for only a few weeks a year for the next few years, the rental income more than not will offset the cost of the interest on the borrowed money, all operating costs, taxes, etc.  In fact, you will most likely see a positive cash flow after only 2 months of rental per year!

 

Dont put off buying that property - now might just be the best time to buy.  Before the market turns to a sellers market!

Yes, we do have a lot of watersheds in Belize; about 16 major watersheds that branch off onto minor watersheds. I live in the Cayo district, which has the Belize River, the longest watershed in Belize.  The Belize River is also where we have our annual canoe race, which was about a month ago.

I live in San Ignacio, which is where the Belize River starts. It is actually a combination of two rivers that join here in San Ignacio. To get to San Ignacio, you have to cross the Macal River, which comes from the Maya Mountains and we also have the Mopan River, which comes from Guatemala.
 
These rivers are big enough to navigate. In addition to the canoe race (which was great), people do a lot of kayaking and tubing. If you go here in town the river is a little shallow but if you go farther down then it gets deeper as you go.
 
I am not really sure about lakes, but I think we do have one in the southern part of Belize that has recently been established as a National Park; it is called Five Blues Lakes but is at the moment unexplored. When visiting the islands, there are a lot of lagoons, most of which are salt-water lagoons, and close to the sea.
