Bummer :( I wish we'd be able to come down for that also. Yes, we bought at the Sun! Very excited! We have to do the whole FM3 and Hacienda Tax ID process for the rental income, so that's why we're coming back so soon. The balcony is a bit sparse, so Chari is helping us bring down some...

On Saturday, May 3rd, we'll be in town and would love to meet you guys in person! Please PM me if you'd like to come and I'll give you our condo # and phone #. I don't want to post it here since this is such a public place. Can't wait to put faces to the nicknames:)

Thanks! Can't wait to live there full time! (3ish years)

My brother just told me the same info last month. I'm horrified! Blech, blech, blech! Wipe my tongue with a napkin! And more ick factor: http://www.realfarmacy.com/why-you-should-never-eat-tilapia/

I just closed on a property last week and I can tell you my experience--but since things change almost daily, you never know if it will be the same when the time comes... You need to have a stamped entry "tourist" visa in your passport to sign contracts. If you fly into Mexico, you don't...

CJ*--Your friend is on to something big. I just saw someone selling them via a Grommet email which goes out nation-wide. It's called fish rubbing, or the ancient art of Gyotaku. Tell her to start advertising on Etsy!

Correction-- rental fee (rate x nights)------------> the amount the owner pays income tax on maid fee 16% IVA / VAT tax (http://www.mymexicanlawyer.com/useful-expat-info/iva-mexicos-value-added-tax-16-or-11-sales-tax/) 2% lodging tax (http://www.travelyucatan.com/first-8.htm#TAXES) impact...

I was just reading the "JoinUs" newspaper that I've seen in many lobbies, and the "Amores de Penasco" needs a car (p.18). It may be too big for what they need , but they might want it anyway.

Awesome idea! When you get an instructor, please post so maybe people can pay on a drop-in basis also.

I've tried to upload with 4 different photos today. 2 were large files, one was a png and one was a small file. Are there size limits for jpegs? Are there file types you can and can't upload? Or is it just me? (Though I don't remember having this problem before)

Don't forget to use the coupon available in the RP Times for 20% off at Casa Del Capitan

HA!!!!!!!!

I just checked for a flight from Vegas to PP in June. Doesn't exist. Perhaps they haven't published it yet? However, it does list Vegas to Hermosillo, but going through Mexico City instead. Are they stopping the route all together? FYI--Flying from NYC to Hermosillo (RT) is 430 and up in...

:) I had to look up your 50 peso word of the day!!!! and your handsome comment made me smile :)

We went out on the Siana Seas as we won the trip at the Taste of Penasco. They normally charge $500 for up to 20 people ($25 per person) for a 2+ hour tour and I think I saw they had a coupon for an introductory special of $400. It was awesome to have a boat filled with friends and a lot of...

I found my notes on the breakdown of the customer bill (per Marcos): rental fee (rate x nights)----------------------> the amount the owner pays income tax on maid fee 16% tax (if applicable) 2% IVA impact fee (goes to the HOA) voluntary charity donation +___________________ = Gross Total

We met with Marcos, the manager of SeaSide reservations. He said that the 16% tax is ONLY applied to Mexican Nationals who want a "Factura" (tax-deductable receipt) to claim the whole amount against their taxes. Americans who want to rent aren't charged this tax. He was VERY adamant about...

Update to my above comment, now that we're home. The minivan was 1600pesos/day = $120, the Nissan Tiida was 800/day ($60) and 4200/week ($315) Be SURE to get specific numbers for whatever "deal" they're offering. Our quoted deal was "rent 21 days, get the rest of the month for free". In my...

We have rented from Buffalo for a month now and it has worked out great for us. We flew into Phoenix. We are a family of 4 (with 4 suitcases plus carry-ons) . We needed a large enough car to handle it all for the trip down and back, but didn't need as much space when down here when not hauling...

Put your right foot in...take your right foot out..put your right foot in and you shake it all about... :)
