Fractional Ownership’s Advantages Over Timeshare
Posted by Jeanne Lopez | Leave A Comment »
Fractional Ownership provides an opportunity to actually own a piece of a property and continue to enjoy equity participation at the same time you enjoy an unbelievable vacation retreat.
So when your ownership share is worth considerably more down the road, you have the option of selling your share. Your investment is literally working for you while you are vacationing on the beach!! Another advantage of fractional ownership is the limited amount of owners (13 in this case) and the ability to choose the weeks you want to vacation vs. being told when you can use the property. You also have the flexibility of switching weeks with other owners or picking up additional weeks if other owners cannot us theirs.
As Baja’s tourist season prepares to fire up, the stage is set for another superb year full of incredible golf, surfing, whale watching, exquisite dining and more. Most notably, the world’s richest sport-fishing event, the Bisbee’s Black & Blue Marlin Tournament, has teams from all over the world gathering this month to compete for their share of over $4 million in prize money. I could not be more excited for the 2008-2009 season as we charge ahead with the planned development of the Casa Del Sol beach house.
Ownership interest and purchase activity to date from friends and colleagues has been very positive. While Americans continue to seek financial security amidst an unstable economy, the Los Cabos real estate market is still holding strong. The number of sales tours from the region’s most recognized brokerage firm actually increased in 2008 over 2007. With new resort developments underway throughout the East Cape, the Casa Del Sol beachfront property remains in a prime position for future investment growth.
For anyone wanting to truly get a feel of this opportunity, my husband Steve and I are planning trips to Los Cabos during October, November and December and would like to invite you to come down for a personal tour of the area. Experience all the adventure and serenity that Los Cabos is known for—you’ll be happy that you did. And stay tuned for new photos and information when I return in a few weeks with all the latest happenings in Los Cabos.
If you know anyone with a passion for Baja Mexico, I ask that you forward this lifestyle ownership opportunity to them.

What Should I Look for in a Neighborhood?
Posted by Pam & Joanna | Leave A Comment »
Some neighborhoods speak loud and clear at first glance; the quality of life is apparent in the streets, parks, buildings, homes and yards.
You get a feel for it (either for or against) just by looking.
A real estate agent can, of course, fill you in on community details not so obvious at first glance:
- Where schools, supermarkets, libraries, hospitals, places of worship, fire and police stations are located.
- What zoning regulations apply.
- What community services are available.
- What construction plans are in the offing.
- What shifts in transportation facilities are occurring.
- How home values have been affected by foreclosures.
- What taxes prevail.For a more intimate impression,you should walk around a neighborhood that looks attractive to you. Visit the schools your children will attend to confirm district boundaries and comparisons with other other schools.
Talk with local people (ask about commuting schedules and costs), in shops (chat about where the best stores are), in parks (get folks talking about recreational programs), in front yards (ask what they like and dislike about the neighborhood).
You might take photos as you tour different locales. They’ll help you later when you want to keep different streets and homes seperate in your mind. Also take notes to later compare, especially addresses and prices.
Inspecting a neighborhood is as necessary as inspecting the home you may buy. An old real estate maxim says. “The best time to think about selling your home is when you’re buying it.” That’s because location will be a prime factor influencing future buyers when it comes time to sell your home.
