Thinking about moving to Mexico and or building a home in Mexico? I built a tiny house, on a tiny budget, in the Baja. In this video, as well as more to come, I can and will tell you how you can do it too.
Most sources will tell you to expect to pay $75 - $150/sq ft to build in Mexico, but I'm doing it for roughly $35/sq ft. The video describes how.

Yes. Love it..... keep up the good work !
Thanks Joe!
Yes she's back...wooo hoo!
I love the way you think and approach life! Bravo!!! I’m proud of you!
Thank you so much White Feather, that means a lot to me!
Wow, that is so exciting! Congrats on it all! Looking forward to seeing more of the progress.
Thanks so much lady! Congrats on the life you've created out there as well!
Just stumbled across your channel. Great content, i love it! It takes a lot of guts to do what you're doing. Be safe down there!
Thanks so much John! I'm glad you're enjoying the channel & thanks for your kind words. When I look back I honestly feel surprised at myself sometimes, but one foot in front of the other, it's amazing what we can accomplish with persistence & will :)
Great advice and really good progress!! Keep up the good work!! I'm glad to see you laying some block!
Thanks Marco, I'm doing my best! Much more block laying footage to come :)
For being so irresponsible, you sure are responsible and on top of stuff! Oh and I like the "week by week" pay structure, smart decision right there!
I am a contradiction that way I know lol
Very excited for you! Good luck with the rest of the build out. Cheers!
Thanks so much Gary! I've been so building finishing up here I lost track of your message. More videos coming soon, thanks for tuning in!
You are awesome and amazing. Hope you're going to enjoy your home for many years. Blessings to you and your builder's.
Thanks so much Barton!
I do the same with my house/van builds for the same reason as well as being able to know what to do when things break/fail. Good on you!!!
Thank you, good on you as well!
Wow, great job. I am eager to continue to see your house progress.
Thanks so much! Many more videos to come.
great video
Your mindset is definitely interesting. What you said about jumping into a project head first and then reassess is very refreshing. A lot of people get stuck in the planning phase of things and never act. I love your channel!
Thanks so much Stevenwolf, I appreciate you backing up my approach! I agree, many people (myself included) can get stuck in analysis paralysis.. it can be another form of procrastination. I always do my best to push through it and keep moving forward :)
Lookin forward to seein more
Thanks Candy, I'm looking forward to making more! Chapter Two is up if you'd like to check it out, the link is at the end of this video
Great job, stoked to see your dream materializing. Also nice video production, really enjoyed it!
Thanks Sticky, glad you enjoyed it : ) and thank you for the positive feedback & encouragement!
Congratulations BlueSkySanctuary!! Thanks for the display and details too. It's nice to know forward movement occurs in this era
Thank you Neil and yes! Forward movement is not only an option, it's essential!
This was so great! I really like your ideas that are unique but they have and are working! Awesome!
I love that you found your builder through working with him on other smaller jobs and grew a solid friendship and trust in him to be the one for this amazing job now of building your house. I love that .
Also freaking fantastic that you are in there every day so you are an integral part of your own house and yes, can and have made changes already along the way! I love that.
The footage of you leveling the land heavy grunt work with hurricane Olif watch then did hit! What?!
The house is looking just so great and I can't wait for more and also the stories you can share when your house is complete. Just wow
You are awesome Veda and I'm sure the crew loves being with you and your Spanish is 50 % right on!
Sweet they are also learning English even a little. Must be fun! 😆
I'm so very happy and excited for you .....can't wait for more
Yayyy!!!
Well wow, comment of the year goes to you Moonbeam, thank youuu!!!
great video . best of luck
Thank you Paul!
Love your approach. It took us a while, and two phases of construction to reach the point of working with someone for a few small projects and building trust, and I wish we'd done that from the get-go. You're very clever to have worked that out at the beginning.
Aw thanks so much Sarah! I'm glad you're getting things worked out now, all the best on your endeavors!
Great video 😊😊😊
Thanks D! Miss you 🤗
you are awesome! hug from costa
Aw gracias Misael, I remember you, hugs back to you!
Hugs for everybody🤗
Hellz ya!!! Great job!!!!.... I take on my projects half blind too. Best way to do it. Leaves room for the spirits to help manifest ;). Plans never work always goes to plan B. lol
My pisces brotha we operate in similar ways, what a surprise! lol ;) You keep up the good work too buddy, your kicking ass as well!
I also stumbled across your channel. I have been going thru your videos and you have a fresh and incredibly absorbing way of presentation, Your way of explaing the cost of groceries with pictures is so powerful in communicating the various aspects of cost of living unllike any so far. Well done. This video shows how talented and brave you are to start from scratch, transplanting trees and bushes. Please keep the videos coming. I am moving to mexico next year and Cabo was not on my short list. Now I am rethinking. Baja peninsula is so far removed from central mexico, so I have to figure out what I should do. On another topic, have you considered doing a joing show with 'Almost retired in Mexico''? He is based in the Baja peninsula
Hello Ancient One, thanks so much for what might be the most encouraging feedback I've received yet! Happy you're enjoying the content & finding it useful. To be clear, I'm an hour north of Cabo, it's a whole different scene. I wouldn't necessarily recommend Cabo for your short list ;) It's very expensive & busy. It's a thriving city. Great to visit, maybe not to live, unless you love city life. 'Almost retired in Mexico' and I haven't found each other yet, but I did just finish a podcast with AdventureFreaksss which should be on line within a month or so, talkling about Baja life ect..
Great video! Subscribed - hopefully we will see Chapter Two soon! We are in Playa Del Carmen - escaped from Canada as well :)
Thanks for tuning in, and for the sub too Jay! and congrats on escaping Canada as well ;) Chapter Two is actually already up, the link should be at the end of this video. Cheers!
Actually the link to Chapter Two WASN'T there, but thanks to you it is now! Haha, thanks again!
@@BlueSkySanctuaryBaja Yes! Watched Chapter 2 today! You are an inspiration :)
@@jayblack8869 Aw thanks so much! Wishing you all the best in PDC! 🌞
Yes, rule #1 is accurate. I was supposed to be building by now, but we're still finishing the paperwork for the sale of the land!
Thank you for subscribing Jenny! Congratulations on your purchase & all the best on your build!
@@BlueSkySanctuaryBaja I've only seen two of your videos so far, but we seem similar. I will also be the gringa with her dogs that feeds all of the street dogs.
@@jennyhammond9261 there are many of us here, glad you will be too! ;)
I adopted two from the street, they're wonderful
Greetings! We are building out in Agua Blanca and wondering if you'd let us know who you used to build. We only need the shell built, we do everything else ourselves, but also need septic. And did you have to pay him anything up front for materials?
Hello! If you'd like to email me at littlespark75@gmail.com I can give you his contact info. I'm quite sure he won't go out as far as Agua Blanca but you can ask him. Hablas espanol? Necesitas.
Great video. I am interested in learning more as I want to find property to build my own small home. How much land do you have a what did you pay for your land? I would like to use the same workers.
Hi Dora, thanks for watching & subscribing! Are you in TS? My property is 1000sq meters, and I paid roughly $18 000US for it 4 years ago.
@@BlueSkySanctuaryBaja Sorry, I think in different terms. Square feet or acres or .2 of an acre. Can you tell me the size of your land in another format? lol What is the length by the width?
@@star-flyer1141 My current property is 1000sq meters. It's 50 meters by 20 meters. You can then ask Google to convert meters into whatever metric you're most comfortable with, and that should give you a good idea of the size. Hope that helps.
I know you don't want to say exactly where you are but can you give a general idea of where you found land that cheap that close to the water? Thanks.
Hey Bob, thanks for subscribing! I'm in Todos Santos, an hour north of Cabo. The price of land is going up quick but you can still get pieces of $20 000US. Proximity to ocean/power/water may vary though. You really have to be here to shop in my opinion.
@@BlueSkySanctuaryBaja Todos Santos is a great area.
Not being my first rodeo…I don’t fall in love easily….yeah.
tanksouth falling in love watching youtube videos, I get it, we've all been there😆
half blind concept.. i thought i was only one with such mentality..
hence why my tattoos reflects that
For sure. I think if we try to know absolutely everything about something before diving in we may never actually jump.
Damn You wind and sun for messing up the Yoga Videos, Damn You I say!
Hahahaa
I'm 60 and you need a retirement plan. I am now discovering that thankfully since I worked 40 years in Canada I will get Old Age Security and Canada Pension and it isn't very much. Less than 40 years and you only get a fraction. While you are young, you need to earn a Canadian standard of living. You are not telling the appreciation side of selling your house - I hope you squirrelled that money away in investments for your retirement. You are privelaged just by luck of being a Canadian, don't squander it.
A newsflash for Kevin......."investments for your retirement" doesn't mean one will have money later on, in fact millions have lost tons of cash investing. I always laugh when I hear "invest your money" like that is a guarantee you will have stacks of cash when you are old and grey. Also what in the love of hell does "earn a Canadian standard of living" mean? That could literally mean anything. And finally, what good is "planning for the future" when you are dead! We could die tomorrow, hell I feel like ending my life right now after reading your post. Live your life day by day and be happy, that's what I say! Now get out there kevin welsh and rock those 60's, live it up baby, don't squander it💪⚡☑☑
And oh yeah, how do you know if she has a retirement plan or not (not that it matters)?
I work very hard for everything I have Kevin, and I am very grateful for the blessings of this life. Choosing to sell my house and create what I have in Mexico IS my retirement AND investment plan. Inflation is going to drown thousands of Canadians financially. Having a house that's paid for and land where I can grow my own food is the best retirement plan for me. In this day & age we need to learn to respect one another's differences, choices & ultimately personal freedom. Also I'm 47 years old, I'm not a child who's made haphazard, irresponsible decisions. My neighbour here in Mexico bought his land & house for $60 000US 15 years ago. He sold it a few months ago for $260 000US. I believe I have invested my hard earned money wisely.
@@isobelyeungfuturehusband225 why bother? I expect the dollar will crash, I expect I will get hit by a bus... accumulate equity - what ever for? Canadian standard: a Canadian's income is 3 times Mexican. Thankfully I have a small amount of equity, and I intend to enjoy burning through it all, in my retirement... without a care in the world, eating tacos and sipping margaritas in Puerto Vallarta of course. I had to work, but I enjoyed my occupation, and my family, and I don't have a high salary by Canadian standard, but praise to God, I know I won't be dreadfully poor in my old age.
Well it looks like kevin has it all figured out and he has god on his side as well. kevin has clearly won at life, you go with your bad self kevin, enjoy those tacos.
