We're happy to introduce you to Amy and Vanessa! They can help you with both for sale and rental properties in the Cotacachi area. Tell us more about what you need and we'll send an introduction email: liveabroadnow.com/referrals/ecuador-real-estate-agent-referral/
Do you feel for the most part you are treated fairly/equally like the locals there ? How often are you treated as an "outsider" or target to try and take advantage of? It seems to vary in each south or the border country?

Your videos are so informative and enjoyable guys. I'm an expat living in Thailand for over two decades and am seriously considering to settle in what may inevitably be my final home, somewhere where long term residency is cost effective and straightforward. Ecuador is definitely on the shortlist, thanks to your terrific videos. .
What a wonderful gem of place is Cotacachi. A paradise for anyone who wants peace and tranquility. I'm sure it could become my Shangri-la, my refuge of serenity. Thanks for sharing.
Dear J.P. & Amelia.., I’ve enjoyed your lovely U tube Ecuador travels for many months… I’m presently in Quito with a quick flight to Manta early Saturday… I’d be delighted to meet both of you & to assist you any way I can.. I’m not wealthy but I’m trying to “ simplify “ my life and escape the snow shoveling in my home state of Pennsylvania.. I pray we can meet …🙏😀❤️❤️❤️
I am at a point now where I am considering retirement and perhaps moving abroad. Your videos are very helpful and Ecuador seems like an ideal place for someone like me who is searching for their next adventure.
Love you both! You are opening a whole new world to us with limitless possibilities! I’m already starting to feel more liberated thinking about the future! ♥️👏🏽👏🏽
Love to see these inland properties, so lush & green, oh and the views are still spectacular! …..I’m not so interested in beach front property…….since I’m in my 60s, would not want stairs to climb…..we are definitely in a housing bubble in the US……I would like to view more inland properties……when you get the time…..Thanks for this video!
Beautiful properties! Thanks for sharing. I will be making an exploratory visit to Ecuador in 2022. I follow your videos and have acquired so much helpful information.
You two do a really good job which translates into interesting entertainment for some and critical information for others. So glad you two took the plunge!
Amelia and JP, you do great real estate tours, I can sense the yearning in your eyes for a lovely Ecuadorian home with land, like the beauties you are showing today. I sold real estate in Boston for about 10 years in the '80s and '90s. That pretty condo you showed for $129k was a super value. Many outdoor parking spaces in Boston now cost over $100,000! (with late night rats) I loved the El Encanto home with those magnificent windows that looked like museum paintings. I would put a nice hot tub on that beautiful deck. I'd be tubbin' on those beautiful cool nights and again in the gorgeous chilly mornings, with a nice cafe con leche. I would savor the views and the relaxing hot water with my girlfriend. What an amazing place to invite friends and family. Now I just need a loose quarter mill. Hopefully in the next year or so we will be visiting Ecuador, and we will definitely visit Cotacachi for a week or two. Thank you for the great tour, good health to you both.
Gracias por compartir las casas, Amelia y JP. Todas las propiedades fueron más de $120,000 ... ¿No hay propiedades (apartamentos) en venta entre $50,000 y $100,000? ¿O apartamentos chiquitos para rentar por menos de $400 mensual? Una pareja jubilada no necesita una casa de dos pisos de 140 metros cuadrados o mas. Además cuando uno tiene más edad no quiere subir muchas escaleras. También hay un movimiento de vivir llamado minimalismo que propone vivir con menos cosas, para vivir en una forma mas simple. Tener cosas sí, pero cosas finas de calidad que duran más ... bien seleccionadas. Dicen que hay una ley que las cosas multiplican para llenar el espacio disponible. El minimalista prefiere vivir con menos espacio para evitar la acumulación de cosas innecesarias. Esa filosofía extiende a espacio habitable también, que puede ser menos de 80 metros cuadrados. Menos espacio es más fácil de mantener, limpiar, etc. con menos costos de energía como aire acondicionado o calefacción ¡si uno no vive en una ciudad de primavera eterna! El enfoque de minimalismo es menos hacía lo material y más hacía las actividades sociales, las amistades, actividades culturales, ejercicio físico, el desarrollo espiritual, la vida artística, etc. aprovechando y disfrutando las áreas comunes fuera del apartamento o casa como los parques, cafes, gimnasios, plazas, etc. ¿Tal vez Vanessa sepa de propiedades más pequeñas y más baratas? ☺
Excellent response to this informative video. I agree with your comments which I’m guessing are feeling of many viewers. I could certainly afford any homes shown here but being 70 and only living with my wife we certainly don’t need a lot of livings space. Outdoor space possibly that would be more important for entertainment or hobbies. I also dread the thought of climbing stairs which was not even a concern for me just a few short years ago. We all know we are not getting stronger as we age unfortunately but that’s life and the fast lane is catching up.
I heard that once you get to 50 years old, stairs are a no , no. Accidents happened and you feel trapped not been able to physically move freely. It actually happened to me in 2021, when I broke my femur in Mexico.. I learned the hard way, literally.
@@mimi1o8 ... I agree. When choosing where to live one of my criteria is not having to climb stairs and having wheel chair accessibility (because accidents like your broken femur happen).
Rentals is always the way to start. I have seen many videos on moving to a new country. Most agree renting for a year is the way to go. You may find out the country is not for you or maybe just that area is not right.You get the idea.
Once again, and I am beginning to sound like a broken record, this was a wonderful video. Very informative and exactly what I, or others, need, from the point of view of - what do I need to do to get a place to live before I move to Ecuador. Amelia and JP thank you from the bottom of my heart :). A Canadian!
Please do not buy a house before you go to ecuador and see if you even like it. You can find a short term rental or even an airbnb .It is a different country and you need to see how day to day life is all about. I think Amelia an JP have included this in one of their videos
@@drhoy15 , In my opinion after living abroad and decided to move back, never buy but rent. You could lose a lot through foreign exchange even after your property increase in value as the exchange can be bad.
Real gorgeous looking couple du jour😉 Most impressed with everything on this video, housing content, editing, interview etc. As a Cuenca resident it’s wonderful knowing about properties all over Ecuador. We may see an influx of folks arriving from the US; property values there have shot to the moon. Real estate is always a hot topic in Ecuador. Hope you do more of these videos very tastefully done. Hasta luego.
LOL you said" a lot of peace and quiet "at the first place, and there were all sorts of dogs barking in the background... Absolutely LOVE the brick house in the country...
Such a change since I started watching you when you had less than I think 1000 subscribers and when it was called Vegans Abroad. Thank you for the introduction to Ecuador. We are here and loving Pedro Vicente Maldonaldo and since coming I am assisting with the development of a local tour company. Maybe soon we can send you an invite to show you what we have done. Take care and keep up the hard work.
Love the arched doors and windows and colors at casa de los suenos. I am surprised that your real estate agents are obviously from the US or Canada instead of Ecuador. The brick house is lovely too. And the one with the lovely woodwork. And the income property. Heavens Cotacachi is lovely.
My property tax bill on my house came today. The assessment didn't change, my senior exemption went up $1000 so I'm taxed on less and what I owe is still up over 6% from last year. Meanwhile the government, companies and media go on all the time about near zero inflation. The bill I really have a problem with is water. It's over $75 a month to use $3 worth of water and $4 worth of sewer. The rest is service charge, drainage and taxes. I have water in my yard and basement because the water company hasn't fixed their leaky water lines for over a year. My list of things that don't make sense in the US gets longer everyday. Well...doesn't make sense unless I'm getting gringoed.
Amelia, JP, please on future videos on condos please include monthly maintenance fees. Guards and landscape maintenance add up for people retiring on fixed income. Love you Guys, keep up the great work.
Mark, that is a good point. I believe in Casa de Los Suenos the fee varies a little according to the size of the condo-about 90-100 per month. It includes water, sewer, property maintenance, and garbage service. I have a friend who lives there. I am not sure about the other condo that was shown.
I like the most the second property - a house for 175. I think the price was very good comparing to other properties and it was a very beautiful, solid house with a huge garden. If I had a lot of money to spare and can go there to see it in person, I will consider buying it. Still I think in this area there are probably many good properties at even much more affordable prices. I guess you have showed us the top of the line there.
Having lived overseas , I know there is commonly inflated prices for “foreigners”. It often takes either living in county to not get substantially ripped off …
The first time I was in Brazil I was looking to buy a nice leather jacket. I found one I liked but it wasn’t priced. My Brazilian friend asked how much it was, and the sales person asked, “For you or him?”
If I were to choose anong all those places, it would have to come down to price, and convenience. I'm with JP on not wanting to be too far away from town.
You guys just look so great!!!! I think Ecuador must be healthful with that clean air and local grown food. I have become interested in Cotacachi to relocate but super nervous about handling the high elevation.
Really impressive! Would be tough choice between wanting the water out my window vs. 2 Volcanoes! I liked the first country house (Brick house) probably the best, but the condo area was magical.
This is a fantastic video with valuable information! Thanks! It would be great to see Ibarra and how real state works there. Enjoy the beautiful province of Imbabura and its nice, and wonderful weather 🙌🏼❤️
I would choose the last one. I really like the size and design amongst other things but it would depend on some details like dishwasher, bathrooms and closets. My preference would be a single story house though.
They say never buy in foreign countries, but I'd still go with #3. It a good house for a family, as a retirement income, and as a legacy property for those who have kids there. Plus as a regular income property with 1 tenant you know you can travel even long term and know, if you selected a great tenant, that your property will be safe.
Hi Guys. Thank you for the video.. My wife and I are traveling to Equador for the first time this December. We will spend a week in Cuenca during Christmas and then off to Loja, Vilcabamba, etc . We want to explore the different areas and see all that we can. I may come back to Cuenca later after the first week in Jan to see some real estate near Cuenca. Can you introduce us to Amy and Vanessa or someone like that also please. Also I want to thank you again for all your hard work and videos which you have done. You can’t imagine how much it helps ! Sincerely, Mark and Lisa Nichols
Cool video! As a 60 year old single guy, the condo would be best for me, but my inner civil engineer likes the concrete house as well. I arrive in Quito 12 November to start my "unconventional" motorcycle tour. I love the mountains, but elevation is definitely not for everyone. Young hikers like yourselves will have no problems though. Cheers from Canada!
Hi David. I had wanted to do a motorcycle tour of the country in my search for my relocation destination. Are you purchasing a bike there? I have two cruisers here in the states but understand I can't bring them into the Country. Unless something has changed???
@@edwardmcdonald2566 AFAIK the rules have not changed. I bought a motorcycle there, and I will sell it there when I leave. Cost to me is depreciation...
Hola Amelia and JP from the beautiful beach side community of Santa Marianita! I agree these properties are beautiful but for us they are no match to this place! We are in heaven!! We found this place while staying in the Poseidon which was awesome in it own right! We will be checking out all the eating places along the beach in the next 3 weeks. You guys are right about the Ecuadorian people being the friendliest people ever!!
Nice video. I've been interested in the Cotacachi area since the beginning - but found getting information from there difficult. Thanks for your report.

Thank you guys for the fantastic information! !
Do you feel for the most part you are treated fairly/equally like the locals there ? How often are you treated as an "outsider" or target to try and take advantage of? It seems to vary in each south or the border country?
Thanks I have a friend in Cuenca, expat 2 years, now a citizen.
@@michaelbrinks8089 If you live in a big fancy house that a local could never buy and you isolate yourself behind a locked gate You are not equal to the locals.I think the locals assume you can pay more and will charge you more. You will have to negotiate alot.

Wonderful homes, Cotacachi and Imbabura province are beautiful
What a wonderful gem of place is Cotacachi. A paradise for anyone who wants peace and tranquility. I'm sure it could become my Shangri-la, my refuge of serenity. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah......I had to escape 166 inches of snow in Erie PA
Great video. Cotacachi region is beautiful and a very quiet life.
Not only the homes, also the landscaping is awesome too.
I am at a point now where I am considering retirement and perhaps moving abroad. Your videos are very helpful and Ecuador seems like an ideal place for someone like me who is searching for their next adventure.
Oh My God!!! I love the house!!! Two stories and all that room on the inside and outside!!! I love it!!!!
Love you both! You are opening a whole new world to us with limitless possibilities! I’m already starting to feel more liberated thinking about the future! ♥️👏🏽👏🏽
Love that!
Amazing job, folks. And happy birthday to JP!
Casa de los sueños 😲 what a beautiful property!
I’ve been to cotacachi before! I love the water, the peacefulness and the fresh air. It’s a really nice place to visit or to live.
Love to see these inland properties, so lush & green, oh and the views are still spectacular! …..I’m not so interested in beach front property…….since I’m in my 60s, would not want stairs to climb…..we are definitely in a housing bubble in the US……I would like to view more inland properties……when you get the time…..Thanks for this video!
I'm all about lots of light and beautiful view!
Great info! Cotacachi is definitely on our list of places to visit. Thanks for introducing Amy and Vanessa! ❤
Our pleasure!
Beautiful properties! Thanks for sharing. I will be making an exploratory visit to Ecuador in 2022. I follow your videos and have acquired so much helpful information.
Beautiful views, Beautiful real estate Beautiful video! I look forward to Beautiful Ocean properties…
Magical places!!! Thank you they are so beautiful
Fantastic video. I have looked at some of these homes online, and your presentation of them was much better than the pictures and videos posted.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome places guys. The views were gorgeous. Just can't leave the beach thou, lol
Thank you for sharing! Thank you JP and Amelia.
hehehe: Bathtub is very cool! I hauled mine from the USA!! No one else has one in my community!! Tubs are too cool!!
I like how a dishwasher was the deciding factor in your decision.
I would pick the same one JP. Lol
The condo is wired for a dishwasher. Use to have one.
Wow! That first place is like something out of a fairytale! Gorgeous and so affordable. I love when you share videos like this.
Once again absolutely awesome info Amelia and JP. The most in depth Cotacachi info anywhere. You guys ROCK!
You two do a really good job which translates into interesting entertainment for some and critical information for others. So glad you two took the plunge!
The brick house looks amazing.
$60 per year for taxes?! that is reason enough to move there alone , thanks for the views
I know! I paid $200 PER MONTH in taxes on my house in Denver! And trash pickup was another $30/month!
$36 a year for taxes on my house in Monterrey Mexico.
My in law pay about 20 dlls a year for house tax in Mexico, border town (Tijuana) with San Diego California
@@AndyX1337 absolutely I'm just saying that the taxes are low in Mexico or just as low as Ecuador.
Taxes are the same in Panama and Honduras
I love the feel of the friendly people there!

Your right. Some sites will tell you if an ad is in english it is for gringos and at gringo prices
