With Tropical Weather Comes Tropical Storms. ..... Or do they????
The
"Sweet
Spot" -- Baja
By sheer
fortune of geography, the
northern end of the Baja Peninsula and the Sea of Cortez occupies a
niche where
tropical storms may pass to either side of it, but it is very hard for
one to
make it all the way up the "alley" formed between the Baja Peninsula
and Mexico to strike
at the
California bay. Above is a Historal Map of Hurricane tracks in the
Pacific since 1948. You can see while many tropical areas
(especially the Caribbean and Gulf areas) are subject to hurricanes,
the Northern Baja is indeed a "Sweet Spot".
 Because
hurricanes
cannot form over a land mass, the northern end of the Baja Peninsula is
shielded by Mexico, which acts as a natural storm break.
Hurricanes forming
east of Mexico in the Atlantic side break in the United States,
famously
hitting Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Hurricanes forming in the
Pacific go far
out to sea. Neither storm track leads it over the main part of Baja. Thus, Northern Baja and especially the Sea of Cortez area
occupies the "Sweet Spot" of Mexico.
Northern
Baja is a "Sweet Spot" in other ways as well. It is lucky to enjoy a climate which puts
it
into the class of a tropical paradise. It is convenient to mountain
ranges, a
crystal-clear bay, scenic deserts, and magnificent forests, all coming
together
in one location that is only a short drive from the Good Old USA.

Sun,
Sea, Sand,
and Palm Trees
Always a Great Investment!
 Mexico has thousands of miles of pristine
coastline, wonderful colonial cities which boast architectural wonders
stretching back many hundreds of years, and diverse expatriate
communities of Americans and Canadians scattered throughout the
country. The Mexican government is encouraging the expansion of tourism
and investment in Mexico. Anyone can acquire property in
Mexico if some simple rules are understood.
Some Clarifications
 Mexicans by birth or naturalization can buy real
estate anywhere in Mexico.
Foreigners may purchase real estate directly in
their own names throughout the interior of Mexico.
In addition, foreigners may buy property near the
border and the coastline in the area referred to as the restricted zone
(about 31 miles inland from the ocean and about 62 miles from the
borders) as the beneficiary of a bank trust. This is how many Americans
own their vacation property in the States now. This ownership of our
Mexican property is always insured with USA title insurance though
First American Title Corporation.
Mexican Currency
The Mexican Peso has been the strongest currency in the world (yes, in
the world) in the past four years. The Peso is now slightly overvalued
against  many other
world currencies. Still capital inflow from North of the border and oil
export revenues will keep the currency very stable.
Mexico Real Estate - Prospects
Thousands of people from countries around the world own real estate in
many parts of Mexico. It has been estimated that 300,000 to
500,000 Americans and Canadians spend over six months each year in
Mexico. Many own Mexican property. As U.S. baby boomers grow
older, more and more will be setting their sights on a secure
retirement which includes spending part of the year in Mexico. Many
will buy a condo, house or villa in one of the many choice beachfront
or other interesting locations around the country.
To Paraphrase Will Rodgers:
"Find out where the Baby Boomers
are going and get there first."
Currently the states of Arizona and Sonora
are working together to develop reciprocal licensing requirements for
real estate agents--classroom training, experience, and background
checks. As the two countries become more similar in their real estate
practices and procedures, buying Mexico real estate in will become even
easier for American citizens.

| Baja's
climate makes it perfect for winter escapes. Imagine
migrating away from a blustery cold day where your neighbors are
shoveling 2 feet of snow, to the recesses of your own personal get-away
bungalow with an ocean view and 70-80 degree weather outside.
