I would like to have formula and diapers delivered to our vacation condo located north of Puerto Vallarta & be able to avoid taking so much with us on the plane or needing to stop in Puerto Vallarta with tired infant and toddler before heading out of the city. Thanks!

How much money would I need to save to own a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom condo in Mexico city and how much money would i need to live there otherwise, like for food and necessities for one year? How much In US dollars, pls<3

First off in order to own property in your own name you must acquire FM2 immigration status which will not be granted to a person who only plans to be in Mexico for one year. You CAN own property through a third party.
A quick glance at the real estate offerengs online show that it is extremely difficult to find a one bedroom one bath condo. You are more likely to get a 2 bedroom one bath. There is no obligation to sleep in both bedrrooms. Prices vary according to what part of the city the dwelling is located. Some areas are very high class. Do you want to live near downtown? Does it have to be in Mexico City proper or would you accept an outlying area in the D.F. such as Coyoacan or Xochimilco, maybe in Mexico State in Huizquilucan or Naucalpan?

In the working class projects where most of the units are subsidized by the government you can actually buy something between $25,000 and $30,000 USD but these are on the outskirts and are unpleasant areas to live. More in town habitable apartments or condos will not be found for less than $800,000 USD and the prices go into the millions from there.

You do not say how well you want to live or if you just want to exist. Supposing you do not buy a car and get around on public transport, do not spend much on furniture other than a bed and a stove for cooking and only have one plate, one bowl, a spoon, fork and knife, one glass and one cup, one pot and one pan, no phone or internet and don-t spend much time in cybercafes, rarely go out you could have a fairly wretched existence for a mere $20,000 USD a year.

Welcome to La Costa Destinations International Realty (http://www.GoPuntaCanaRealEstate.com), your full service source for Dominican Republic, Punta Cana Real Estate and Punta Cana Apartments For Sale. Headquarters located in Punta Cana Bavaro, the most popular and fastest growing tourist and investment area in the Caribbean and representatives in USA, Puerto Rico, France, Russian and Spain. We offer exclusive homes, villas, apartments, condos, land and commercial opportunities on or within walking distance to the beach and golf courses. The Dominican Republic, specifically Punta Cana, has become a haven for vacationers and investors who are seeking a beach chair, a cold Presidente beer, a good read and high returns on their investments. 

Punta Cana Real Estate has experienced tremendous growth over the past 10 years.  Low prices, low taxation and a solid, growing economy making it a strong investment location.  Punta Cana is one of the hottest spots for investing in the Caribbean with investors from around the world looking for high return on investment along with steady rising rates of appreciation. The options are endless: apartments, condos, luxury homes, beach-front properties, vacant land, and more.

The Dominican Republic has often been labeled the best value for money real estate destination in the Caribbean, but this is not the only appeal.  The DR is the second largest island in the Caribbean which offers buyers a rich diversity of natural beauty.  White sandy beaches and crystalline waters, to cool moutain breezes.  Punta Cana and Dominican Republic Real Estate offer equal diversity to suit all tastes and all at affordable prices.

Here are just a few reasons why Punta Cana and the Dominican Republic is a great place to Live, Play, and Invest:

• November 2008 resale prices up 10% from November 2007
• Pre Construction Prices November 2008 From $88,000 up 18% From November 2007
• 8% Rental Income Average in 2007 
• World’s largest corporations, hotel chains and most wealthy individuals are investing in the DR now.  Why is that important to you?  Massive due diligence is carried out by such corporations and individuals.  You can rest assure that real estate investment in the DR holds the potential to provide significant return on investment.  Companies like Wal-Mart, Ritz Carlton, Westin, Conrad Fairmont, Four Seasons, Donald Trump, Hard Rock Cafe are expanding their operations to include the DR and Punta Cana.
• Donald Trump believes in the Dominican Republic’s potential to the tune of $2 billion dollars, and within four hours of their launch in 2007, record sales were made ($300 million).  Demand for luxury property in the Dominican Republic is owerwhelming.
• Year round tropical weather, lower prices, tax exemptions and a high quality of life are important factors that motivate investors and tourists to the Dominican Republic.  Affordable and easy access from the US, Europe and all over the world makes the Dominican Republic the natural choice of tourists and investors alike.
• Capital growth is averging 20% per annum in most areas.  The Wall Street Journal has made predictions of up to 50% growth in the near future.  Savvy investors are making their move now and making the most of low entry pre construction prices and rapid rates of appreciation, rather than missing out once prices start to increase dramatically in the future.
• Strong ties with other countries such as the USA, the UK and Canada.  Expats, retirees and investors are seeing the DR as a viable investment destination.  As tourism increases, predicted at a rate of 3.4% per annum through 2017, foreign relations will grow stronger.
• During the past 15 years the DR has received a total of US$12.1 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI)

• • $1.02bn 2005
  • $1.18bn 2006
  • $1.39bn 2007
  • Over $2bn in 2008 (predicted)

• In 2007 alone the DR received US$1.4 billion in FDI, slightly less than Costa Rica, but more than the remaining four DR-CAFTA countries. Tourism, tourism real estate and telecommunications were the major areas of investment.
• Dominican Republic’s tourism industry grew 4.5% in Jan-August 2008 compared with the same period last year.  January-August 2008 2,567,050 January-August 2007 2,455,932 
• Spanish is the official language; however, English, French, Italian and German are widely spoken. 
• Over half the tourists came through Punta Cana International Airport (54.7%), while the remaining amount came through Las Americas International Airport (19.3%), Puerto Plata (15.8%) and La Romana (5.5%).
• Russian tourist market grew considerably in 2008 with an 83% increase in Russian tourists compared to last year, Ukrainian tourism is up 11% and Polish tourism is up 92.5%.
• From Latin America, there were also increases. There were increases from Brazil (up 32.5%), Ecuador (up 37.9%), Mexico (up 15.5%), Chile (up 44.8%), Argentina (up 38.1%) and Colombia (30.1%) as air links improved.
• Canadian market is showing its strength, with 398,023 arrivals in the first quarter of 2008, compared to 358,638 in April 2007
• Arrivals come primarily from the United States, Canada, France, Spain, Belgium and Switzerland
• Arrival of Canadian and U.S. tourists grew 9 and 7.4 percent respectively, whereas flow from England, Belgium and Spain also posted growth.
• Area still in developing stages, great opportunity for investment
• Punta Cana has 50 Hotels with 35,000 rooms and 15,000 more under construction
• More than 4.5 million visitors per year with 55% arriving in Punta Cana
• Expected 3.4% per annum tourism growth through 2017
• Stable Democratic Government encouraging foreign investment
• Strategic Location
• 15 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport 35km (22 miles) of white sandy beaches and turquoise blue waters
• Theme parks, water sports, marinas, designer golf courses, night life and gambling casinos

Oscar de la Renta, Julio Iglesias, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Shakira, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Ricky Martin, are just a few of the famous who visit and make Punta Cana their home. It’s all about the beach, undeniably breathtaking with tall swaying palms scattered along 35 Km (22 miles) of some of the whitest and finest coral sand beaches in the world.  Ocean front golf courses by Tom Fazio and P.B. Dye, a Six Senses Spa, 5 Star hotels and restaurants, and the Punta Cana Ecological Foundation make this exclusive community the perfect retreat.

Punta Cana, named after a local cape, is a region in the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic. Covering about 4,200,000 m2 (1,100 acres), the region is home to a coastline of sandy white beaches and to a town of the same name.

Located in the province of La Altagracia the region borders the Atlantic Ocean to the east. To the north, it borders the village of Bavaro and El Cortecito Beach. Areas bordering Punta Cana include Cabeza de Toro, Cabo Engaño and, further west, Juanillo. North to South the main beaches are: Playa Arena Gorda, Playa Bavaro, Playa Uvero Alto, Playa Macao, Playa El Cortecito - all north of the cape - and Cabeza de Toro, Cabo Engaño, Punta Cana, Juanillo - south of the cape.

The entire Bávaro-Punta Cana region entered a fast-paced growth phase in early 2004. With the establishment and initiation of foreign investment projects such as Cap Cana and The Westin Roco Ki Beach & Golf Resort, the development of new marinas, resorts, and housing complexes have been developed.

For the past 10 years foreign investment has had sustained levels of consistent growth, turning into one of the most important economic sectors for the country, and responsible for employment in many different sectors of the local economy.  Bavaro Beach, Punta Cana, is the fastest growing tourist and investment area in the entire Caribbean by U.S. citizens, Canadian and European investors.

Needless to say, Punta Cana Real Estate many say is highly under-valued.  In November 2008 pre construction apartment prices started at $88,000 Punta Cana Bavaro an increase of 18% from November 2007.  There are still real estate deals in this great seaside community but you need a local market expert to help you.  La Costa Destinations International Realty are experienced real estate professional who have many years of home buying and selling experience in the Punta Cana area.  For true local and knowledgeable service in the Punta Cana Real Estate market, contact La Costa Destianations International Realty (http://www.GoPuntaCanaRealEstate.com),  Info@GoPuntaCanaRealEstate.com 829 341 4532 Dominican Republic  866 605 9473 Toll Free USA PR or 305 261 2666 USA.

Cities like Acapulco, Cancun, Cozumel, and Puerto Vallarta have made many people realize that you can travel to Mexico with little problems or trouble. More importantly, these cities, as well as Los Cabos, Mazatlan, and Veracruz allow for the perfect couples or family retreats during vacation time. When you want to travel to Mexico, Cancun is one of the top destinations. Located on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Cancun provides several lagoons and sand bars, as well as gourmet restaurants, shopping attractions, and several ways to enjoy the ocean. Just 60 miles south of Cancun is the lovely little town of Akumal. It used to be a sleepy little fishing village but it has become a tourist favorite with it’s pristine beaches, laid back atmosphere and fanstic snorkling and diving. Cozumel is another popular place to travel in Mexico. Cozumel is well-known for being the largest island of the Mexican Caribbean. The Palancar Reef and the ocean floor around the island are perfect for divers, skin divers, and cruise ship guests that travel to Mexico for fun and sun. The white sandy beaches of Acapulco are just one of the reasons why millions of people travel to Mexico each year. A sanctuary for the rich and famous, Acapulco is known for the glitz and glamour that it provides. Guadalajara, which is second largest place to travel to in Mexico, is a largely economical and political city. It is also full of beautiful and historic buildings that display the history and culture of Guadalajara. Two of the fastest growing places to travel in Mexico are Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. Originally a haven for pirates, Los Cabos each offer a different type of environment for guests to enjoy. Cabo San Lucas has stylish hotels and condos with a number of sport fishing and water sports. San Jose del Cabo, however, is a quieter environment filled with beaches, golf, and shopping galore. Puerto Vallarta has everything that you need when you travel to Mexico. It has multiple restaurant, golf, tennis, mountain biking, snorkeling, scuba diving, horseback riding, and everything that you need to do while enjoying your time and travels. Also a popular tourist location, Veracruz is also one of the oldest cities. Activities like the country’s Carnaval, local museums, the open-air markets, and much more provide plenty of things to keep you busy while on your trip. No matter where you go or what you do, when you travel to Mexico you can have as relaxing, active, or cultural experience as you like. You can also visit historic buildings, listen to the music, and enjoy the beauty of any area of Mexico. House for Rent in Akumal Mexico Travel Links Mexico
