San Felipe - El Dorado Ranch Trip

I could talk about my San Felipe Trip all day long! I had a great trip despite a few snags but regardless, I had fun and was glad that I went. I think San Felipe is an opportunity.

I see a town that is bustling and growing and locals that enjoys the effect of the dollars. I hear positive feedback from the others that bought property in San Felipe. It is definitely a bolder move than just investing in Real Estate in the States. Most people are not familiar with the El Dorado Ranch development or have been misinformed about buying and owning properties in Mexico and residing in Mexico. In my situation, it's Baja Mexico or B.C., Mexico.

As the word gets around more an more people will be migrating to Baja and retire and play in Mexico because it is affordable. But as we all know, the affordability factor rises when it becomes in demand and the supply is low. Prices goes up and the cost of living goes up also and becomes inflated. Later on property lots will become more and more expensive. So going in early, you pay cheaper prices. When the developement becomes sold out the next one will be more expensive. As the community becomes populated the need for services are supported so it creates opportunities to create a thriving businesses supported by the people in the community, theres money being brought and spent in Mexico.

So, in summary, I loved San Felipe and the more I hang out there the more I see the things that I could be doing there. There's plenty of activities waiting for me in San Felipe.

There are also opportunities for businesses to start in San Felipe that the Americans need, that the city needs. It's a city that is growing and developing into a tourist attraction. The local are enjoying the fruits of their labors, they have nicer cars and can afford to even have American toys like Quads - they love the Americans and their dollars!

I bought a property at the El Dorado Ranch Development for $40k! I can build a house here from $75 to $110. per sq. ft. The lot size is 10k sq. ft. I did not even see this particular lot. My nephew said it was his favorite. The other lots are being bought by the other visitors and they are usually the bigger irregular lots that are more expensive. The $40k lots are practically all gone.

Endless Summer

November is the start of the cold weather here in the Bay Area. It's November 11th and normally here in the Bay Area it starts to get cold - really fast. One week before or or after Halloween the weather starts to change. It starts to become chilly in the mornings and evenings. It is nice in the daytime, when it is still warm and sunny. Cold, cloudy rainy days usually follows - boring weather!

I dread the fall and winter seasons - it sucks! I'm a warm blooded person and I get very sluggish in cold weather. I get depressed when I don't get enough sun and brightness. I am not fond of the rain either. Rain is nice when I am sleeping, not when I want to be outside.

San Felipe temperature is better in November! Hawaii has the best! Imagine, people in the Bay Area are wearing jackets and turning on the heaters in the mornings and evenings - while if I am enjoying warm summer weather in in San Felipe or Hawaii, endless summers. I can imagine that in November 2007, one year from now, I will not be here in the Bay Area!

Ideal temperature for me is 75-85 F and I can deal with that 365 days a year! I can deal with the cold weather if I am just visiting or vacationing and will last no more that 1 week. Yeah, Lake Tahoe in the spring is beautiful when the days are warm and there's still snow everywhere. I am no longer a fan of skiing or snowboarding, those sports no longer excite me. I have to be careful with my left knee because I injured it long time ago and re-injury is not a good thing - I need my mobility. I miss ice skating! I want to do that this year with my daughter, she's 16! My sweet sixteen daughter!

Visiting San Felipe in a few weeks!

I'm excited in visiting San Felipe in the next few weeks.

I will be flying from Livermore airport to San Felipe on Thanksgiving weekend. That will be on November 25th and the 26th.

Too bad I will be working on Friday after Thanksgiving, but it will probably be a half day work. The following week I will be on vacation for one week! Coolio!

Well, what is there to expect? A 4 hr. flight from Livermore direct flight on a DC3 to San Felipe. All inclusive, food accomodations, tour and entertainment.

My nephew and his buddies will be going there also on their Harley. They will probably leave on Friday. They need to be in San Felipe by 10 or 11 am on Saturday - 11/25.

It's going to happen in two weeks! I'm excited!
