3 Top Spots For A Super Accessible Sunny Second Home Overseas
I’m just back at my desk from Cancún, where I was delighted to meet a new bunch of readers at our second Live and Invest in Mexico Conference
November is the perfect time to be in this part of the world… when most North Americans are starting to watch the thermostat (and I’m still recovering from those chilly days in Paris last month).
While Cancún was our meeting place, our agenda over our three days together last week reached beyond this well-known tourist hot-spot. With Lee Harrison as our Master of Ceremonies and a strong team of Mexico experts and expats by his side, we took the group on a virtual tour of this country that included: 
- The Riviera Maya that stretches from Cancún in the north to Tulum in the south—with miles of unspoiled, Caribbean sands in between… where you can find attractive options, like Playa Del Carmen, that are quieter and more affordable than Cancún…
- The historic town of Mazatlán on the Pacific coast that’s becoming increasingly popular with expats—and where Lee spends most of his time these days. This city on the sea has full amenities, first-class health care, and is only a two-hour flight from U.S. border towns…
- The country’s most romantic resort—Puerto Vallarta. Surrounded by lush hills, P.V. boasts some of this country’s most magnificent ocean and sunset views… plus diverse outdoor activities and more dining-out options than you can count…
Best of all, while Mexico doesn’t offer a pensionado-style visa, it does offer one of the easiest residency paths out there today. Lee has found the process to be super-easy.
“I got my resident’s visa at a consulate in about 20 minutes,” Lee told the group, “without translations, background checks, or document certifications.
“And you may not even need to establish residency, as Mexico offers a six-month tourist stay.”
If you weren’t in the room for the full low-down on making a move to Mexico, you can still access every word of every presentation (including questions from our audience) in our soon-to-be-released Live and Invest in Mexico Home Conference Kit.
Among the 30+ sessions included, you’ll hear from:
- A full-time Canadian expat who recently settled in Playa Del Carmen (with kids in tow)…
- A Mexican attorney on your top visa and residency options in Mexico (it’s easy, but you have to do it right!)…
- A local health-care representative on what to expect from local medical care…
- Our go-to Mexico real estate expert on the top five places to invest in the country…
- A local language school on how to learn Spanish and have a whole lot of fun in the process…
We left no stone unturned last week. As you make your way through this set of recordings—at your own pace, in whatever order you choose—you’ll also get the low-down on current real estate opportunities in our favorite Mexican markets (some that offer developer financing)… how to get involved in volunteering projects… your best options for health insurance… how to set up a bank account… and more…
We’ve compiled this conference-in-a-box to show you everything you need to know about Mexico to decide if it’s right for you…
Just imagine… just as the cold and snow are hitting the United States and Canada… you load up the car and head on down to your sunny second home in Mexico.
It really can be that simple.
