This location is so popular due to its short drive time to Phoenix and Tucson residents. Some commercial opportunities are available due to the close proximaty of such large northern cities. One lot in particular priced less than half of what any neighboring lots ar acreage are listed for, (Based on square meter pricing)&amp;nbsp;will certainly benifit the right person with the needs of a large parcel and Hwy frontage. This lot is 35,000 square meters, 3.5 hectares or 8.6 acres and sits right at the entrance of the major beachfront destination of Rocky Point and the Coastal Highway. It has a wnderfully secure entrance as both neighboring parcels have high walls with security.Electricity and water are available at the highway access point.

Because the world economy has many property owners&amp;nbsp;seriously&amp;nbsp;motivated, savy investors could end up with properties priced far under true market value.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One example of the investment potential of Rocky Point&amp;#39;s real estate market is in the highly sought after beach front development of Las Conchas. This bargain is worthy enough to mention in any investment discussion. I&amp;nbsp;do not believe that there has been a beachfront lot in Las Conchas listed below $500,000 for several years, let alone a livable beachfront condominium. The condo I refer to is in the Las Olas beachfront section in the middle of this mostly&amp;nbsp;US owned community&lt;br /&gt;This $275,000 condo is in the high demand section of Las Olas. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/LAS_OLAS__9/page_2250557.html" title="Las Conchas Beachfront condo"&gt;BEACHFRONT CONDO FLYER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/Puerto_PenascoRocky_Point/Sonora/Condos/Las_Conchas/Las_Conchas/Agent/Listing_1852818.html" title="Las Conchas beachfront condo"&gt;MORE INFORMATION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;$275,000 for a LAS CONCHAS BEACHFRONT CONDO&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=490147" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>Price Reduced on 09-Las Olas in Las Conchas</title><link>http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/2009/06/30/01df6dc934784bc38b6509e143e4e1bd.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:46:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">664481dd-0d6d-4c09-8dd4-da7d9578c0fd:490012</guid><dc:creator>Kent White</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/comments/490012.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/commentrss.aspx?PostID=490012</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=490012</wfw:comment><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="LeadIn" style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Las Conchas, Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;Announcing a price reduction &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;on 09-Las Olas, a 1,100 sq. ft., 2 bath, 2 bdrm single story.

We have seen a little fishing town turn into an investor&amp;rsquo;s paradise with thousands of condo&amp;rsquo;s rising from the sand at a record pace, then a sudden halt because of bad press and equally poor economies. Now with adjustments being made regarding values, we have shifted into an unprecedented buyer&amp;rsquo;s market. When the condos were going up, the words said to Kevin Costner in The Field of Dreams, &amp;ldquo;Build it and they will come&amp;rdquo;, summed it up, and our seller&amp;rsquo;s market was in full swing. Now with the world economy shifting and so many people really needing out, the morph is on, and some of the best investments in Rocky Point real estate history are available&lt;br /&gt;Real estate in Mexico is as promising an investment as most any in the world. However, just like any investments, it is important to know what you are getting involved in. There are dynamics associated that separate each individual case. An investor must make sure that his agent asks the right questions and understands his specific needs. For example, if a property is not yet built there is a different set of risk verses reward questions that come into play. Now, in a market where many seller&amp;rsquo;s are in what some call fire sale mode, there is a huge opportunity to invest pennies on the dollar and come out way ahead.&lt;br /&gt;It is very important to pick a company and an agent with a background of success. &lt;a href="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/" title="Realty Executives"&gt;Realty Executives&lt;/a&gt; and Kent White have proven themselves all along Sonora&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;Golden Coast&amp;rdquo;. &lt;br /&gt;As President of the Puerto Penasco AMPI chapter, Kent was instrumental in the development of the licensing process now an enforceable law in the state of Sonora and it is expected to spread throughout Mexico&amp;#39;s real estate industry. This wonderful milestone will help AMPI raise the bar when it comes to accountability and trust of process.&lt;br /&gt;Realty Executives has represented investors from El Golfo to San Carlos / Guaymas, but specialize in areas like &lt;a href="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/SANTO_TOMAS/page_1893795.html" title="Santo Tomas"&gt;Santo Tomas&lt;/a&gt; to Rocky Point. They&amp;#39;ve helped hundreds of buyers and sellers achieve their goals. From condos on Rocky Point&amp;rsquo;s Sandy Beach, houses in Playa Encanto, or Las Conchas, investment parcels along the coastline or simply checking the security of a title, Realty Executives Rocky Point can handle the task.&lt;br /&gt;Remember, You can enjoy your investment portfolio on the Sonoran beaches.&lt;img src="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=481885" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Santo+Tomas/default.aspx">Santo Tomas</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Guaymas/default.aspx">Guaymas</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/El+Golfo/default.aspx">El Golfo</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/real+estate+in+Mexico/default.aspx">real estate in Mexico</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/San+Carlos/default.aspx">San Carlos</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Puerto+Penasco+AMPI/default.aspx">Puerto Penasco AMPI</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Sonoran+beaches/default.aspx">Sonoran beaches</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Puerto+Penasco+real+estate/default.aspx">Puerto Penasco real estate</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Las+Conchas/default.aspx">Las Conchas</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Playa+Encanto/default.aspx">Playa Encanto</category></item><item><title>Price Reduced on 418-Pinacate in Pinacate</title><link>http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/2008/10/07/dd6566bdd0c94d5ba9f1a4df36a8e8c9.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:49:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">664481dd-0d6d-4c09-8dd4-da7d9578c0fd:368551</guid><dc:creator>Kent White</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/comments/368551.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/commentrss.aspx?PostID=368551</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=368551</wfw:comment><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="LeadIn"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pinacate, Sandy Beach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;Announcing a price reduction &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;on 418-Pinacate, a 1,100 sq. ft., 2 bath, 2 bdrm single story.

This is evident especially as it refers to real estate. Many people, sitting there with their glass half empty continue to refer to our stage in the cycle as the Fall or Winter. However, as we have seen by recent indicators, the excitement is here. In Rocky Point&amp;rsquo;s market, those who look past what the press from the north tells us, continue to do well. Agents and buyers alike that don&amp;rsquo;t see the doom and gloom see the potential of a shifting market. Let&amp;rsquo;s face it, as it applies to Real property there are two markets, buyer&amp;rsquo;s markets and seller&amp;rsquo;s markets. Sure we saw some hard times for awhile, this is what is called the correction period. We needed it. We had a fever during the initial boom that laid the foundation for our long term growth period. Economists still see Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco as one of the fastest growing, and long term growth destinations in Latin America. All of the studies done on both sides of the border by different experts on our specific market agree we are destined to be an international powerhouse. None of them said the chart would be a straight upward line. With the same logic, we should not expect to follow the same curve as the United States. We are a second home community and an investment community. Many of the baby boomers with the notion of retirement in their sight still see the need to invest, and this is a great time to invest as there are many deals to be found. Many people that have the fortitude to buy a second home are not affected by the issues that have used up so much ink in the papers lately. And some that overbought need out. Rocky Point&amp;rsquo;s resale market right now has numerous condos, houses and land listed at below their true value. This is not to say that everything is priced to sell, but with proper representation and patience, now is a great time to learn what is available and understand that there are special deals popping up everywhere.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;Resort communities do not reflect the same dynamics found in markets of need. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;Many of us that took the ride for several years understand the market was in its infancy, as a highly attractive resort community with beaches that hold their own against any comparable destination. In a booming economy both buyers and sellers are happy, with fresh new products unveiled monthly. Unfortunately, because the wave was so fast and furious many surfers saw the wrath of the wave&amp;rsquo;s downturn. The wave was building so fast and developers saw no reason to level out prices since the buyers kept coming. Some less rooted investors that may have gotten in late have reasons to get out. This created the buyers market that many savvy investors are taking advantage of now. The excitement is here, and deals are being made. Right now the resale market is showing huge promise, and professionals in the know are feeling the buzz. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;When looking at the big picture one must only look at what Rocky Point has coming, to understand the future is just beginning. This is obvious by the time and money the officials are investing here. Janet Napolitano and Arnold Schwarzenegger and all of the other governors from the border states of the US and Mexico did not choose to meet here because it was convenient. The Coastal Highway and the Airport are soon to be a reality. The Municipality is paving more roads than ever before. The Marriott Hotel group has introduced The Pe&amp;ntilde;asco Bay Towers, a 28 story 265 room four diamond hotel. This alone would certainly add to the international attention.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;Recently, Sonora authorities and Federal authorities met with the decision makers of several cruise lines, including Carnival and Holland America to fine tune the plan for future cruise lines to include Puerto Penasco in their itinerary. Epifanio Salido Pavlovich introduced the proposed Cruise ship route through the Sea of Cortez, which includes the creation of a terminal in Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;quot;Soon we will have the visit from the delegation and the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association for Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco to revise the draft as Home Port and Guaymas to see the progress of infrastructure that is taking place at this time, as well as tours yet to be defined, and training for health care providers in the locality,&amp;quot; he explained. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;With all of this and so much more, we will be a preferred destination for tourists and investors alike for many years to come. The Spring is here, and we are still in our infancy. This market will not be crashing anytime soon. In fact economies not scared by the media have continued to look for investments in this paradise some of us call home. Canadians and many Mexicans from around the country as well as those living in the US are looking this way for the bargains. It is important for investors to find reputable representation that will educate them through the research stage as there is a wide variety of options; Good and bad. In a time considered to be a buyers market there is a surplus of inventory. The available condos, homes and land are so diverse that you need a seasoned representative. There are plenty of agents in this town with credentials you can trust. If an agent is an &lt;a href="http://www.mexicorealestatetrust.com/AMPI/page_1834363.html" title="ampi"&gt;&lt;font color="#02459c"&gt;AMPI&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; member, for example, he or she is a state recognized, licensed agent. The most important thing that a buyer or seller gets with an AMPI affiliated agent is accountability. This accountability will make the difference between you looking back and knowing you found one of those bargains, or one of the many less than adequate outcomes that happen to would be investors everywhere. It would be irresponsible to stress that if one doesn&amp;rsquo;t jump now they&amp;rsquo;ll miss the buyers market. But it could also be wrong to think that this market is going to keep sliding for a long time. Even in the US market of today savvy investors are currently buying, hence the term buyers market. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;img

more people join the ranks of retirees living like royalty on tiny budgets in Mexico. Mexico is the preferred location for Americans living abroad. Twenty five percent or one million of the four million Americans living abroad live in Mexico and why not! &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;You can trade in your suburban home in the U.S. for a seaside estate south of the border, live in elegance with beautiful expansive views in a relaxed lifestyle. In Mexico, you can easily afford the help that makes this style of living easy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;By 2011 the first wave of baby boomers will retire, that&amp;rsquo;s approximately 78 million people. Most of these retirees can modestly retire in the U.S., or live amazingly better in Mexico. Currently there are 25,000 North Americans retiring each year. Rocky Point is expected to be one of the leaders in Mexico&amp;rsquo;s growing retirement migration destinations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;One of the attributes that is credited for these numbers is that its relaxed and refreshing atmosphere is so close to the border. As investors consider what is important for them in retirement, the proximity to the border is important. Accessibility to an airport, ease of doing business, communication and infrastructure are also important considerations. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Because the number of retirees is soon to grow exponentially and many will be migrating south, &lt;span&gt;a&lt;/span&gt; recent study was done to analyze the demands, travel habits and perceptions of Mexico as a tourist destination in Americans over 50. The study was conducted by the Council for the Promotion of Tourism for Mexico&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;. The list below is what was deduced, and is partly why so many savvy investors are looking here now.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;1 The cost of living is lower&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;2 The weather is better, escaping cold climates&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;3 The economic and political climates are stable&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;4 Healthcare is excellent and affordable&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;5 English is widely spoken&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;6 Foreigners can own, buy, and sell property&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;7 Its close proximity to the U.S.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;8 A mix of varying activities from passive to more vigorous&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;9 Share differing cultures, people and art&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;10 Beauty of surroundings&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;11Reliving previous satisfactory experiences&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;If anybody is even considering investing in a retirement community, home or destination, they just need to spend a little time here in Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco to realize this is it.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;With beautiful beaches, sunsets and so much more visual candy, coupled with the lifestyle opportunities here, this little town is simply inspiring. The research involved in making the most important decision for your retirement is so simple. Come to Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco, take your shoes off and stroll on the beach at sunset. But then realistically spend a little more time here, talk to people who live here and enjoy your homework.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;While pondering these findings and understanding that the numbers about to retire are staggering, it is no surprise that the Marriott hotel group is investing millions here. This in itself is worth noting. The Marriott hotel group does not jump into a new market without serious studies on long term growth and market potential. The Federal government of Mexico is positioning itself with a Cruise ship home port expected to host cruise lines like Holland America, Princess and Carnival. President Calderon has stated that Puerto&amp;nbsp;Penasco is the most important touristic port in the countries northwestern region.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;The International Airport and the Coastal Highway connecting us with the Baja and California are both investments in our future that would not be done without serious deliberation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Another important consideration drawing retirees is of course healthcare. While Mexico&amp;rsquo;s healthcare continues to gain respect its northern neighbor&amp;rsquo;s healthcare is, well, out of control. The U.S. health care system is out of reach for millions of Americans&amp;hellip; Carlos Slim, Mexican business magnate and richest man on the planet has partially staked Grupo Star Medica, a Mexican national hospital chain. Plans are underway for new, high-quality medical centers in Mexico to cater to U.S. baby boomers who are buying second homes in Mexico&amp;hellip;or who simply want to come to Mexico for cheaper health care than they can find in the United States. Companies like Grupo Star Medica are filling niches created by those new homeowners and vacationers. Baby boomers are also choosing Mexico because its health system is much cheaper than in the United States. Plans are also underway to get more U.S. private insurance companies to pay for medical treatment in Mexico. &amp;#39;&amp;#39;For a U.S. insurance policy to pay for medical treatment, the treatment has to comply with certain quality control standards, and we are going to participate with products to serve this niche,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; said Jaime Jimenez, general director for Mexico Trane, another company following Slim&amp;rsquo;s lead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are 40 million Americans that can&amp;rsquo;t afford health insurance; therefore there is a need to outsource it. For years thousands of Americans have come to Mexico for affordable dental work and elective surgical procedures. You may have heard, &amp;ldquo;Ignore your teeth, and they will go away.&amp;rdquo; Well, the United States has neglected health care reform for so long that its users really are going away&amp;hellip;to Mexico!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;It is&amp;nbsp;not hard to live a great life for&amp;nbsp;well under $20,000 a year including rent or a mortgage; in fact some are doing so with live in caregivers.&amp;nbsp;Everyone&amp;rsquo;s lifestyle requirements are different. It&amp;rsquo;s possible to rent a place on the beach for under $1,000 a month. If you don&amp;rsquo;t need cable TV or Internet, you can save on those expenses.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;If you like to go out to eat frequently, like to travel, play golf, scuba dive, etc., you will obviously spend more money&amp;mdash;but still, much less than you would for a similar lifestyle in the U.S. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;We are seeing a number of gated communities rise out of the sand. Many of these communities have all the characteristics retirees have come to expect in the states and with a more affordable price. These communities have varying levels of activities on sight, like recreational rooms, fitness centers, walking trails, BBQ areas and so on. There are truly comfortable condominium projects, and even single family homes in secure neighborhoods priced just over $100,000, some within walking distance to the beach. Most projects also offer developer financing. This is where it is important to talk to a credible real estate professional. It would be ill-advised to come down and simply trust that all developments are safe, secure investments. Just like in the states, there are precautions that must be considered. Mexico now has a National Association of Realtors, and we are affiliated with NAR in the US. We are held accountable, and we are &lt;a href="http://www.mexicorealestatetrust.com/AMPI/page_1834363.html" title="AMPI"&gt;&lt;font color="#000080"&gt;AMPI&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. AMPI is Mexico&amp;rsquo;s National Association of Realtors. There is a buyer&amp;rsquo;s checklist provided by AMPI that consists of questions to ask in order to protect buyers. If an agent is an AMPI member, he or she is &lt;a href="http://www.mexicorealestatetrust.com/Licensing_in_Mexico/page_1893665.html" title="licensed"&gt;&lt;font color="#02459c"&gt;licensed &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;to sell real estate in Mexico, accountable, and has access to the MLS. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Many baby boomers are looking ahead and investing in their future retirement homes. Right now with the buyers market a reality, there is a great opportunity for those with the foresight to really set up for a great retirement.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Anyone that has witnessed the growth explosion here remembers that less than 10 years ago there was nothing but sand on Sandy Beach. In the Summer time a few years back there weren&amp;rsquo;t three restaurants that had air conditioning. Now one could comfortably dine out at a different establishment every night. In a few years Rocky Point will have all the conveniences retirees could ever want, and they can still drive a few hours north to see the grandchildren. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in

&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; This amazing bargain is a rare find. It is a three bedroom home that sits right next to the beach access within the tranquil community of Santo Tomas, where the beaches rival any sandy beach in the world. The premium lot this home sits on, today would cost over $400,000 and building costs have surpassed $100 per square foot. This home is just over 2,000 square feet with space to add on. There is drinkable water, electricity and clean transferable title throughout the community. The Santo Tomas community is, and always will be a quiet, low density, peaceful community. This truly is a wonderful investment opportunity. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.executive-referrals.com/Puerto_PenascoRocky_Point/Sonora/Homes/Puerto_Penasco/Santo_Toms/Agent/Listing_1609631.html"&gt;Property information&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=287243" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Real+Estate/default.aspx">Real Estate</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/For+Sale/default.aspx">For Sale</category></item><item><title>Price Reduced on 3- BDRM-Estrella Las Dunas Condo in Santo Tomas</title><link>http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/2008/03/31/0d60d3ec03a34fa1abfc9145f6c8ea33.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 15:21:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">664481dd-0d6d-4c09-8dd4-da7d9578c0fd:278537</guid><dc:creator>Kent White</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/comments/278537.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/commentrss.aspx?PostID=278537</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=278537</wfw:comment><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="LeadIn"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Santo Tomas, Eastern Beaches&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;Announcing a price reduction &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;on 3- BDRM-Estrella Las Dunas Condo, a 2,098 sq. ft., 3 bath, 3 bdrm single story.

President&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;In the ever cyclical world of economics we certainly see the seasons change. This is evident especially as it refers to real estate. Many people, sitting there with their glass half empty continue to refer to our stage in the cycle as the Fall or Winter. However, as we have seen by recent indicators, the excitement is here. In Rocky Point&amp;rsquo;s market, those who look past what the press from the north tells us, continue to do well. Agents and buyers alike that don&amp;rsquo;t see the doom and gloom see the potential of a shifting market. Let&amp;rsquo;s face it, as it applies to Real property there are two markets, buyer&amp;rsquo;s markets and seller&amp;rsquo;s markets. Sure we saw some hard times for awhile, this is what is called the correction period. We needed it. We had a fever during the initial boom that laid the foundation for our long term growth period. Economists still see Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco as one of the fastest growing, and long term growth destinations in Latin America. All of the studies done on both sides of the border by different experts on our specific market agree we are destined to be an international powerhouse. None of them said the chart would be a straight upward line. With the same logic, we should not expect to follow the same curve as the United States. We are a second home community and an investment community. Many of the baby boomers with the notion of retirement in their sight still see the need to invest, and this is a great time to invest as there are many deals to be found. Many people that have the fortitude to buy a second home are not affected by the issues that have used up so much ink in the papers lately. And some that overbought need out. Rocky Point&amp;rsquo;s resale market right now has numerous condos, houses and land listed at below their true value. This is not to say that everything is priced to sell, but with proper representation and patience, now is a great time to learn what is available and understand that there are special deals popping up everywhere.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;Resort communities do not reflect the same dynamics found in markets of need. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;Many of us that took the ride for several years understand the market was in its infancy, as a highly attractive resort community with beaches that hold their own against any comparable destination. In a booming economy both buyers and sellers are happy, with fresh new products unveiled monthly. Unfortunately, because the wave was so fast and furious many surfers saw the wrath of the wave&amp;rsquo;s downturn. The wave was building so fast and developers saw no reason to level out prices since the buyers kept coming. Some less rooted investors that may have gotten in late have reasons to get out. This created the buyers market that many savvy investors are taking advantage of now. The excitement is here, and deals are being made. Right now the resale market is showing huge promise, and professionals in the know are feeling the buzz. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;When looking at the big picture one must only look at what &lt;a href="http://www.executive-referrals.com/PICTURES__VIDEOS/page_1820362.html" title="Rocky Point"&gt;&lt;font color="#02459c"&gt;Rocky Point &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;has coming, to understand the future is just beginning. This is obvious by the time and money the officials are investing here. Janet Napolitano and Arnold Schwarzenegger and all of the other governors from the border states of the US and Mexico did not choose to meet here because it was convenient. The Coastal Highway and the Airport are soon to be a reality. The Municipality is paving more roads than ever before. The Marriott Hotel group has introduced The Pe&amp;ntilde;asco Bay Towers, a 28 story 265 room four diamond hotel. This alone would certainly add to the international attention.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;Recently, Sonora authorities and Federal authorities met with the decision makers of several cruise lines, including Carnival and Holland America to fine tune the plan for future cruise lines to include Puerto Penasco in their itinerary. Epifanio Salido Pavlovich introduced the proposed Cruise ship route through the Sea of Cortez, which includes the creation of a terminal in Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&amp;quot;Soon we will have the visit from the delegation and the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association for Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco to revise the draft as Home Port and Guaymas to see the progress of infrastructure that is taking place at this time, as well as tours yet to be defined, and training for health care providers in the locality,&amp;quot; he explained. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;With all of this and so much more, we will be a preferred destination for tourists and investors alike for many years to come. The Spring is here, and we are still in our infancy. This market will not be crashing anytime soon. In fact economies not scared by the media have continued to look for investments in this paradise some of us call home. Canadians and many Mexicans from around the country as well as those living in the US are looking this way for the bargains. It is important for investors to find reputable representation that will educate them through the research stage as there is a wide variety of options; Good and bad. In a time considered to be a buyers market there is a surplus of inventory. The available condos, homes and land are so diverse that you need a seasoned representative. There are plenty of agents in this town with credentials you can trust. If an agent is an &lt;a href="http://www.executive-referrals.com/AMPI/page_1834363.html" title="AMPI"&gt;&lt;font color="#02459c"&gt;AMPI&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; member, for example, he or she is a state recognized, &lt;a href="http://www.executive-referrals.com/Licensing_in_Mexico/page_1893665.html" title="licensed agent"&gt;&lt;font color="#02459c"&gt;licensed agent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The most important thing that a buyer or seller gets with an AMPI affiliated agent is accountability. This accountability will make the difference between you looking back and knowing you found one of those bargains, or one of the many less than adequate outcomes that happen to would be investors everywhere. It would be irresponsible to stress that if one doesn&amp;rsquo;t jump now they&amp;rsquo;ll miss the buyers market. But it could also be wrong to think that this market is going to keep sliding for a long time. Even in the US market of today savvy investors are currently buying, hence the term buyers market. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;img

0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;In Mexico City I recently had the opportunity to meet with &lt;a href="http://www.executive-referrals.com/AMPI/page_1834363.html" title="AMPI"&gt;&lt;font color="#02459c"&gt;AMPI&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; presidents from around the country. There were approximately 500 representatives in attendance at this convention and swearing in ceremony for association presidents. It was apparent that all of Mexico&amp;rsquo;s real estate professionals are paying attention to Sonora and specifically Puerto Penascos&amp;rsquo; successes. Each state soon will be working to follow suit with the licensing process Sonora has mandated for all agents. Everyone I listened to commented that the efforts we are pioneering are inspiring officials throughout Mexico, because with licensing, we will be able to enforce accountability. We are gaining huge momentum not only in the respect from Mexico&amp;rsquo;s federal government but throughout the international real estate world because of our commitment to higher standards and accountability. AMPI national is very interested in learning from what we are doing. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;We have established a Sonora Committee of AMPI presidents that has begun to research the possibilities of creating a pool of AMPI certified instructors that can help us with continual education in order maintain the highest of standards. We agreed to create a committee within AMPI where agents representing coastal cities, can discuss issues relative to their specific needs, such as Federal Zone issues and Fiedecomisos. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;In Hermosillo, AMPI presidents from Sonora recently met and shared some great ideas. We will continue working together because the licensing process affects all of us. We discussed how we can together make it as beneficial as possible. It was agreed upon that the enforcement part of the process needed to be addressed as soon as possible and that AMPI should assist the state with mandates of compliance as well as the obligation only work with those complying with the law. Leaders from Hermosillo, San Carlos, Guaymas, and Puerto Penasco all then met with the Secretary of Economy of Sonora and had an inspiring dialogue. We were invited to share our concerns with Lic. Rodolfo Elias Calles, Sonora&amp;rsquo;s representative in charge of the Real Estate licensing process. I enjoyed this meeting because he listened, he cared and he respects our experience and welcomes our assistance in the betterment of our profession which helps us protect our buyers and sellers. We all left the meeting certain that we were on the right path, and that together we really can make a difference.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.executive-referrals.com/Licensing_in_Mexico/page_1893665.html" title="Licensing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;font color="#02459c" face="Times New Roman"&gt;Licensing&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is a giant step towards maintainable ethical standards. The diplomado course is the educational arm of the process. This state sponsored course is intended to provide actual and current technical and administrative skills to participants allowing them to improve their performance in real estate activities. It analyzes the legislation of both the federal and state judicial dispositions regarding Real Estate property, as well as covers issues pertaining to taxation, city development, appraisals, trusts, sales strategies, and ethics in the real estate field. The instructors are all national leaders in their respective professions, and came from all over Mexico. This class has forced 40 agents at a time to sit in a classroom for 109 hours and grow together. It has created such a unity among the agents that a movement started to align two real estate associations in Rocky Point. As of today we have had many meetings with the leaders of both groups. Our efforts have changed from better ways of working together to actually starting the process of becoming one organization. I believe this synergy was advanced by the friendships started within the diplomado classes.&lt;span style="color:red;"&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;The two real estate associations that exist in Rocky Point are both based on the values of high ethical standards and accountability. However, if two associations have similar agendas yet do not communicate properly, they are not working as effectively as they can. AMPI is Mexico&amp;rsquo;s National Association of Realtors and PPREA (Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco Real Estate Association) is an association of local professionals. We each have our own &amp;ldquo;Multiple Listing Services&amp;rdquo;, like systems, and we both understand the need for one source of information to better serve our clients. Both have done well in their quests. However, it is understood by all, that the need for one association is best for members and the real estate community as a whole. Together we can make a difference.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;It is our position that any person who receives income based on commissions from sales of real property should be held liable for their actions under the law as it is applied to licensing and the standards that we represent. A realtor is one who has been approved by the National Association of Realtors. (Now International Association of Realtors) AMPI members are allowed to call themselves Realtors, which is a protected brand, not thrown around loosely. Our members will only work with other professionals in compliance with the laws of Sonora. The value to a buyer and seller is in the accountability factor. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Kent White &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;Realty Executives&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;A.M.P.I.

In the area of the old beach club, this attractive, secluded low-rise complex is taking shape on the most pristine beaches the Sea of Cortez has to offer. &lt;br /&gt;Featuring 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units, each Estrella Condo includes a private patio or balcony facing the sea. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Numerous amenities will be integrated into the condo area. These include a resort-sized pool, heated spa, outdoor barbeque facilities, outdoor bar and an amphitheater/beachclub facility for events. The adjoining Fitness/Recreation Center will offer several fully equipped exercise areas together with specialized areas for spa services. The lounge in the Center will provide a place to play games, have a drink, have a bite to eat or simply relax while enjoying the spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Located just one hour south of Rocky Point, Santo Tomas is the absolute getaway from the crowds. The Estrella Condos are a welcome, new dimension to the Santo Tomas experience.

This internationally respected association of real estate professionals officially became a reality last &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;March &lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;span style="color:red;"&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, Sans Serif" size="3"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and has already become one of the largest associations of any kind ever in Rocky Point with over 100 members. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our local chapter has representation from all of the major real estate companies that operate in and around Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, Sans Serif" size="3"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;tab-stops:3.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;AMPI, having the full endorsement and cooperation of the federal government has the ability to regulate and oversee the ethics of its members. Only credible &lt;a href="http://www.executive-referrals.com/Licensing_in_Mexico/page_1893665.html" title="licensed realtors"&gt;&lt;font color="#02459c"&gt;licensed&amp;nbsp;realtors&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; with continual AMPI approved educational courses can maintain membership of this organization. It is this proactive entity that will take the real estate industry into the future.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;The timing could not be better for the positive development of a town that is expected to be one of the hottest resort communities in this hemisphere. Economists from Mexico City have projected our growth explosion to continue for years to come. These expectations are based partially on the fact that we have experienced such astounding progress on drive in traffic alone. The international audience is just starting to look our way with the official announcement of the approval of the Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco Airport, the Coastal highway to be completed in the very near future, connecting us to California, and the Nautical ladder which will encourage more oceanic tourism like small cruise ships. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;Rocky Point has seen a housing boom rarely seen before anywhere in the world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;Ten years ago there were no condo projects with more than 100 units. In 2000 there was only one project of any large scale. This changed in 2001. Now Sandy beach alone has over 1,600 condos sold, and over 30 condo towers are in some stage of vertical development. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;Several towers were sold out in a matter of hours. One tower sold its 109 units in 3 hours and another, 114 in 4 hours. Condos seem to be the most sought after investment properties going in today&amp;rsquo;s market, partially due to the low maintenance and ease of rental income. Many condo owners boast amazing financial returns in the short term &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href="http://www.executive-referrals.com/SEASIDE_RENTALS/page_1834737.html" title="Rental Pool"&gt;&lt;font color="#02459c"&gt;Rental pool&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo; market.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;A new concept gaining popularity by a huge market segment is interval ownership. This is not time share. &lt;a href="http://www.executive-referrals.com/Fractional_Ownership/page_1949360.html" title="Interval Ownership"&gt;&lt;font color="#02459c"&gt;Interval Ownership&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, also known as fractional ownership&amp;nbsp;or equity share&amp;nbsp;is a practical concept, which offers the opportunity to own a fully furnished home at a fraction of the cost of purchasing an entire second home. Each purchaser as a shareholder owns an exclusive interest in a home and is entitled to occupy the unit each year for the time interval purchased. There are several large scale developments exclusively marketing this concept.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;With newly available &lt;a href="http://www.executive-referrals.com/FINANCING/page_1796115.html" title="mortgage money"&gt;&lt;font color="#02459c"&gt;mortgage money &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;at reasonable rates more and more people are able to take advantage of the current growth explosion we are experiencing. Others are turning self directed IRAs into real estate investments. Some people have chosen to split ownership on properties with friends, family members or other investment groups. If one truly wants an investment that they can enjoy, Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco is becoming a simple alternative to the less than predictable stock market.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;It is very important to work with a reputable real estate professional, as bad investment council can haunt individuals throughout their investment period. The information is out there, and good sound advice is available. The unprecedented investment potential can be achieved, but it is so important to seek the advise of a real estate professional that has the training and the ethical standards that&lt;font size="5"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;AMPI ensures. Rocky Point is a great place for anyone interested in owning a second home or a secure investment that allows staying at, and enjoying their own portfolio.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;Kent White&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;Realty Executives, Sonora&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:kentoblanco@gmail.com"&gt;kentoblanco@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:121%;text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:121%;font-family:Arial;"&gt;President AMPI, Puerto Pe&amp;ntilde;asco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=204217" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Real+Estate/default.aspx">Real Estate</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Notarios/default.aspx">Notarios</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/AMPI/default.aspx">AMPI</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Puerto+Pe_26002300_241_3B00_asco/default.aspx">Puerto Pe&amp;#241;asco</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Interval+ownership/default.aspx">Interval ownership</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Mexico+real+estate/default.aspx">Mexico real estate</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Rocky+Point/default.aspx">Rocky Point</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/licensing+in+Mexico/default.aspx">licensing in Mexico</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/NAR/default.aspx">NAR</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Coastal+Highway/default.aspx">Coastal Highway</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Kent+White/default.aspx">Kent White</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/mortgage+money/default.aspx">mortgage money</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Realty+Executives+Sonora/default.aspx">Realty Executives Sonora</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/Realty+Executives/default.aspx">Realty Executives</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/President+AMPI+Puerto+Pe_26002300_241_3B00_asco/default.aspx">President AMPI Puerto Pe&amp;#241;asco</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/rental+pool/default.aspx">rental pool</category><category domain="http://www.realtyexecsmexico.com/blogs/kent_white/archive/tags/kentoblanco_4000_gmail.com/default.aspx">kentoblanco@gmail.com</category></item></channel></rss>
