| This is it! I've been offered the house. My financial person and some family think I'm nuts, but I'm 99% sure that I will buy based only on what I've read, researched and seen online, especially in this forum. I've been in that area as recently as April (Tulum) and loved Akumal last July.
Is there anything anyone might share with me regarding making this decision and wiring the funds ASAP?
My husband and I live near Richmond, VA (south of the Washington, DC area). I've been to Mexico 6 times now and loved the people and the places I've been, including Cozumel. We scuba dive, snorkel, camp, hike, kayak, have grown children and littled grandchildren. My kids are excited to hear I might buy a place as they loved Mexico as well. I only have to transfer funds and wire them.
I'm a professional and my husband, Greg, is in retail gear and clothing (backpacking, kayaking, etc.) sales.
I would love to hear ANY REGRETS or suggestions now.
Thank you!

| We are some of the old timers...we bought our house almost three years ago and it is one of the best decisions we ever made. We love our house! We love the area and have never run out of things to do. Great location and cute houses. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me. We also have a yahoo group with lots of pictures. jeri | |

| Thank you kindly Jeri. I cannot think of any reason why I shouldn't buy, with the exception that I may not be able to spend the time there that I want to in the first year or so or fix it up the way I want soon enough. Those things should take care of themselves in time as I hope to retire within the next five years or so.
If I can get the basics installed - for us hot water heater, refrigerator, stove, and air conditioning units, then I can rough regarding furnishings for a bit. We do backpack and sleep on the ground and in our camp hammocks after all!
I love that area and cannot imagine letting this go!

| GO FOR IT!!! Mary and I spent the weekend on the boat, camping on islands, etc. Out favorite topic was 'I can hardly wait to go back to our home in Mexico!' Of any decison I have ever made, this is one of the best. No regrets whatsoever. Our house is done and we have stayed in it twice. Will be back in October for the BG Party (oooops, I mean the HOA) Plomero | |

| I've signed the contract and am working on the wire transfer now. My financial advisor is excited for me - who would've thought that! I guess it's because we're both interested in living for today and having some fun!
Wow! I can't wait for it to be final and start working on the place.
If anyone is familiar with Calle Jamaica #25 in Manzana 208, please share. I'm purchasing sight unseen, other than the Google satellite view.
Yeha!

| CONGRATULATIONS Karin!! You can go to the Neighborhood directory (under the database section) on the Yahoo Group page and see who some of your neighbors are. You can sort by address to make it easier. I believe one of your neighbors, Moira, was just down there. Don't forget to add your info as the newest member of the 'hood! | |

| Well - for us there always seems to be something that slows you down. Don't expect anything to go as planned. As we always say in Mexico nothing is like what you are expecting - and nothing is like what they say it is. | |

| Be sure to inform all of the above that for those who doubted your decision and want to USE your foreign property (and they will) let them know that despite their best (worst) advise you now have a property for RENT, not for FREE!!!
Welcome to the neighborhood!!! | |

| Howdy neighbor, nice to meet you and thank you! Yes, they sent me a photo of what we think is my casa from their roof and yes I have plans to come down with husband Greg October 16-29. No telling what we'll get into. I hope to have a refrigerator, stove, microwave, AC and bed by then. I look so forward to it. Karin - Mrs. Plomero wrote:
