Beautiful home,and amazing part of mexico.the only issue i have is why Americans, canadians,and Europeans call themselves expats when they should call themselves immigrants just like they like to call us,meaning people from mexico, Latin American or the rest of the world.
I live in the same town as Josh and Shari and they are two of the nicest people who give back so much to this community. They are the kind of neighbors you want, regardless of which country your live :)
An advise to foreigner’s moving to Mexico is don’t go around saying how cheap prices are as it’s not the case for the locals who don’t make the same salary as you. Pay what the locals pay for merchandise and food. Don’t go around tipping big as the prices will start to rise and it’s the main reason local townspeople recent foreigners.
my mother brought me to the usa in 1979 from mexico , this is a beautiful great country , have made my life here. This country has given me everything, But one day i want to return to mexico and retire on a beach somewhere. .
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing. I just picked up the book as well. Big thanks to Sheri and Josh for sharing their story-it’s truly inspiring. I’m a builder based in Portland and Bend, Oregon, and I’ve been considering Mexico as a potential place to live. Hopefully, I’ll get the chance to meet them someday during my travels through Mexico. Excited to dive into this material and see more content on your channel. Thanks again!
I definitely admire you for doing something that I have been trying to do for many years. I was born in Mexico, and I go every year to see my parents and siblings. I have five kids, all grown. My father just passed away this year, and my mother is still there. Since all my kids have their lives going on (James is a Marine), I might follow you example amd finally go back. ❤
Congratulations on your expat lifestyle.Nice to see it’s working.Personally to give up the amazing views, a pool to enjoy daily and a purpose built home for a walled compound with no yard would make me feel imprisoned.I’ll take the stairs every day.But as it’s said “ Each to their own”I’m sure your next project will be a tell tale story.Looking forward to seeing it one day. Cheers 🇲🇽🌵🤘
Welcome guys, I am from Merida Yucatan, nice to hear you are happy here in Mexico. I am Cibersecurity engineer and worked many years in USA and I have a lo t of friends and always treated me with a lot of respect. Now I work remotely and that's why I returned to my beautiful Mexico
@@MovingToMexiCo Very interesting and exciting, working in a global company protecting data and integrity is great. Keeping up to date with the new technologies that are coming out is quite a challenge.
I have been looking at Condos and Homes in GDL- Guadalajara & P.V.- Puerto Vallarta Mexico. I have a co-worker who sold his house in Whittier, Ca. and moved to GDL. He bought a beautiful home with a pool. It is a gated community with a golf course. He is retired and enjoying life. I could not believe how green GDL is. I also loved P.V. the beaches are beautiful there. I am thinking of buying a vacation home there. I love the homes and the condos in P.V. Most of the condos are high-rises and have beautiful rooftop decks with infinity pools looking over the ocean. I love the ones that are right on the beach, and some have their own private beaches for their tenants and their families who come to visit. Mexico is Awesome! Thank you, guys for your info.
Congratulations you two. I am extremely happy you guys have found La Riviera Nayarita to live your lives. It is an amazing and tranquil living experience. Thank you for your input. Nayarit has so many places to explore. In other words, you will never get bored.
Loved the video and their story I can’t believe how many Americans have moved to Mexico abd live it. All over the country not just beach resorts. I’m glad they wrote the book. Much success to them I e lived in LA all my life but my roots and family are from beautiful and tropical Nayarit!
You guys rock. Love your sense of adventure and thoughtful carefreeness. Kuddos on your brave endeavors, in a foreign country. Both of the builds show beautifully, showcasing your great style. Your easy and warm banter comes through as very sincere and friendly. My partner and I lived in England for a number of years, back in the states and looking forward to our next foreign residency. Good luck and cheers
Hi Josh and Sherry Sean from Atlanta your old neighbor from Doraville So glad to see you guys doing well and happy for you. I live in NC by the coast now and surround myself with some good Mexican friends. Josh few more grey hairs in the beard 😂 Sherry as beautiful as ever. Great to see this video.
Construction here in LA lags even more. Especially when waiting for inspectors to approve permits. Then contend with contractors who don’t fulfill their promises. Ever seen hgtv’s Holmes on Homes??? Disasters all over the country from shoddy work left half assed 😫
@@MovingToMexiCo Exactly! Tourist and surfers have disappeared down there never heard from again or thrown in the Mexican jails and extorted their loved ones. That’s a no man’s land. Please be careful and God bless.
@Mr.267LosAngeles That's Mexican people's land, my land. I've never heard of surfers disappearing in Mexico, sure there's been incidents just like in every part of the world.
Ikr, it's crazy how there's some safe places in Mexico where all the Americans go and then there's the rest of Mexico that's heavily controlled or influenced by the cartels.
So true about "workers going into default mode." You're architect may draw something custom, but the builders are probably not looking at the plans too often.
Your the typical couple from America .....Just have a open mind , smile , adapt , dive in2 the culture , lose your american sense of entitlement , humble yourself , embrace the ppl and remember your a guest. Good luck and always give thanks.
Kudos to you both twice! Josh. Your vision for your dream home- incredible esp all the plantings. Great idea to put plants outside the windows esp when there is scarcity of land Both of you must bed ready for a well-deserved rest-but selfishly I can’t wait for your next project
From beautiful Atlanta Georgia Welcome to the west coast don’t forget visit Guanajuato city in Guanajuato state my town Historic beautiful place, mean while I’m working hard in the states making Benjamin’s and later do the same thing just like you guys but in Guanajuato. God bless both in you’re new life.
Beautiful homes you guys designed. Question, what do you guys do for an income now that you’re in another country? Do you work remotely? Or were you able to find jobs in Mexico?
Wow !! What a beautiful couple. They are inspiring and understanding!! To me they are the true sense of moving abroad and respecting the locale. I am thrilled that LIFE is exciting for you ! Great video
@@MovingToMexiCo we live in Texas but I love home architecture and all aspects of building. You have demonstrated how determined people can move anywhere and make LIFE happen. Such a wonderful couple !!
Foreigners can own land in Mexico, but there are specific rules depending on the property’s location: 1. Inside the Restricted Zone The Restricted Zone refers to areas within: • 50 kilometers (31 miles) of the coast. • 100 kilometers (62 miles) of an international border. Foreigners cannot directly own land in these areas. However, they can legally acquire and control property in the Restricted Zone through: • A Fideicomiso (Bank Trust): A Mexican bank holds the title to the property on behalf of the foreign owner, who has all ownership rights (to sell, lease, develop, or inherit). • A Mexican Corporation: For commercial purposes, foreigners can form a Mexican company to hold property titles in the Restricted Zone. 2. Outside the Restricted Zone Foreigners can directly own land fee simple (full ownership) outside the Restricted Zone, with no restrictions. Fideicomiso Details: • Valid for 50 years and renewable indefinitely. • Costs include a setup fee (approximately $500-$2,000 USD) and annual maintenance fees (around $500-$1,000 USD). Key Points for Foreigners: • Foreigners must adhere to the “Calvo Clause,” which means agreeing not to seek foreign legal protection or intervention concerning their property. • Ensure all transactions are conducted with proper legal representation and a notary public to verify the title and avoid fraud.
@WilliamsOWilliams it is a better place mr Williams, believe me, I love th US but living in Mexico is totally different, I always recommend people to go to san Miguel de Allende or Guanajuato, you will be amazed, blessings my friend
it is only consider better to somebody that can afford to live there.. the mexican population still makes an average of 50 dollars a day or less most make less than a thousand a month
WOW really? All I hear about is drugs, caretels murder, kidnapping, poverty, etc, so then why do so mnay people come to our border???? Hmmmm. I guess Mexico no longer has any dangers all of a sudden?? I can move to Mexico without fear of murder and kinnapping?
Welcome guys I am from Mexico 🇲🇽 city , Welcome my friend enjoy your life, Mexican love 💕 Everyone I’m living in San Francisco cal. Good bless guys. 🐈🥂🌮🏝️🏖️🇺🇸🇲🇽
Make sure if your building, that you keep track of and be present when all materials are bought. My mom ( native born mexican) built her dream home in rosarito and the crew was riping her off, buying extra material and keeping it for themselves. She had to fire everyone before she found a respectable few to finish the project.
Awesome job on the remodel!!! You nailed it, being on site is key and not just in Mexico, in any country!! I did a similar remodel and addition here in Canada and Believe me being on site is the best time you will ever invest. I've been playing with the Mexico idea the last few years, especially for me as my wife is from Colombia and Mexico is pretty much half way between Canada and Colombia. However kudos to you guys. I'm 60 now and I'm very good health and in good shape but I don't think I have the energy to do a big remodel or new construction at this point but you guys did an amazing job that's for sure!!
Wow, how nice that you are adapting to the 🎶🎶🎶party party party 🥳..i have heard that American people can't handle the partys in Mexico, and they want to call the cops so they could stop the party but they are not allowed to do that in Mx. Are you guys in a calm area zone or in a party neighborhood and do you like it?
I’m from Mexico I live in Smyrna TN I hate when I come to my hometown don’t want to come back to America. Start your business here in Mexico and don’t have to worry about working the way you use to do in America,
Congratulations on your nice house. Great job. Question: as americans living in Mexico, and doing remote work there, do you pay income taxes to the US or to Mexico?
How close to the water are you? Assuming you used a bank trust if you’re within the restricted zone? House looks beautiful, well done!! I wish you all the best, and happiness, in your life adventures. “While you can buy land in Mexico as a foreigner, you generally cannot directly purchase land within a "restricted zone" which is defined as an area within 50 kilometers (31 miles) of the coastline, meaning you can't directly buy land close to the water in Mexico without using a legal mechanism like a bank trust (fideicomiso) to hold the title on your behalf.”
Thanks for sharing! At some point Mexico decided to protect its coastline from foreign invasion. So basically the fideicomiso was setup so foreigners can still use the coastal land as if they are owners but if the Mexican government decides that a section of coastline is being used as a port for an invading nation, they could come in and reclaim the land for military purposes. At least that’s how I understand it. “The fideicomiso (trust) was introduced in Mexico as a legal mechanism to address constitutional restrictions on foreign ownership of land in the restricted zone, which includes land within 50 kilometers (31 miles) of the coastline and 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the national borders. These restrictions were originally established in Article 27 of the Mexican Constitution of 1917 to safeguard the nation’s sovereignty and prevent foreign domination or control of strategically important land areas. Historical Context: Concerns About Foreign Invasion 1. Historical Foreign Incursions: • Mexico faced several instances of foreign invasions and interventions in the 19th century, including the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and the loss of significant territory to the United States, as well as European interventions like the French Intervention (1862-1867). • These events created a heightened sense of national vulnerability and a strong desire to protect Mexican territory from foreign influence. 2. Economic Imperialism: • During the Porfirio Díaz regime (1876-1911), large amounts of land were sold to foreign investors, leading to significant foreign control of Mexican resources and land. This fueled resentment among the Mexican population, as it often came at the expense of local communities and indigenous groups. • The Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) arose in part as a reaction against this foreign exploitation and the concentration of wealth in the hands of foreigners and elites. 3. Sovereignty Protection: • Article 27 was designed to ensure that strategic areas of Mexico, particularly coastal and border zones, remained under Mexican control. These areas were considered critical to national defense and economic independence. How the Fideicomiso Addresses These Concerns The fideicomiso system was introduced in 1973 as a way to allow foreign investment in Mexican property while still adhering to the constitutional restriction. Through this system: 1. Legal Ownership: • The land remains legally owned by a Mexican bank acting as a trustee, ensuring compliance with the Constitution. 2. Control for Foreigners: • Foreigners can obtain the beneficial rights to the property (including selling, leasing, or developing it) through the trust, effectively allowing them to use the land as though they owned it. 3. National Oversight: • By requiring the involvement of Mexican banks and government approval, the fideicomiso maintains a layer of national oversight, ensuring that foreign investments do not compromise Mexican sovereignty. Modern Implications While the fideicomiso has successfully encouraged foreign investment in Mexican real estate, it is rooted in a historical need to balance economic opportunity with the preservation of national security and sovereignty. By providing a structured way for foreigners to invest without direct ownership, Mexico can maintain control over its most sensitive territories while benefiting from global economic engagement.”
High guy that's a wonderful and inspiring story. I also purchased some land to build in Puerto Vallarta. I wonder if you can share your contractors info so I can contact him. Thank you I would really appreciate it

“The fideicomiso (trust) was introduced in Mexico as a legal mechanism to address constitutional restrictions on foreign ownership of land in the restricted zone, which includes land within 50 kilometers (31 miles) of the coastline and 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the national borders. These restrictions were originally established in Article 27 of the Mexican Constitution of 1917 to safeguard the nation’s sovereignty and prevent foreign domination or control of strategically important land areas.
Historical Context: Concerns About Foreign Invasion
1. Historical Foreign Incursions:
• Mexico faced several instances of foreign invasions and interventions in the 19th century, including the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and the loss of significant territory to the United States, as well as European interventions like the French Intervention (1862-1867).
• These events created a heightened sense of national vulnerability and a strong desire to protect Mexican territory from foreign influence.
2. Economic Imperialism:
• During the Porfirio Díaz regime (1876-1911), large amounts of land were sold to foreign investors, leading to significant foreign control of Mexican resources and land. This fueled resentment among the Mexican population, as it often came at the expense of local communities and indigenous groups.
• The Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) arose in part as a reaction against this foreign exploitation and the concentration of wealth in the hands of foreigners and elites.
3. Sovereignty Protection:
• Article 27 was designed to ensure that strategic areas of Mexico, particularly coastal and border zones, remained under Mexican control. These areas were considered critical to national defense and economic independence.
How the Fideicomiso Addresses These Concerns
The fideicomiso system was introduced in 1973 as a way to allow foreign investment in Mexican property while still adhering to the constitutional restriction. Through this system:
1. Legal Ownership:
• The land remains legally owned by a Mexican bank acting as a trustee, ensuring compliance with the Constitution.
2. Control for Foreigners:
• Foreigners can obtain the beneficial rights to the property (including selling, leasing, or developing it) through the trust, effectively allowing them to use the land as though they owned it.
3. National Oversight:
• By requiring the involvement of Mexican banks and government approval, the fideicomiso maintains a layer of national oversight, ensuring that foreign investments do not compromise Mexican sovereignty.
Modern Implications
While the fideicomiso has successfully encouraged foreign investment in Mexican real estate, it is rooted in a historical need to balance economic opportunity with the preservation of national security and sovereignty. By providing a structured way for foreigners to invest without direct ownership, Mexico can maintain control over its most sensitive territories while benefiting from global economic engagement.”
