Resources for buyers and sellers who do their homework
Library
The documents I send clients before we ever talk price.
If you’re evaluating Puerto Vallarta the way you’d evaluate any other asset class — appreciation curves, legal structure, where the data actually lives — these guides are written for you. They are the framework I use myself. No filler. No tourism statistics. The real questions, answered with the rigour the decision deserves.
If you’re thinking about Vallarta as the place where the next chapter happens — and you want to understand it before you stand inside it — start here. These guides explain how this city actually works: the neighbourhoods, the communities, the legal layer most agents won’t walk you through. The version of this conversation you’ve been trying to find.
The Gen X Guide to Puerto Vallarta Real Estate
Paradise isn't found — it's negotiated.
For buyers who have built something, earned something, and are choosing where the next chapter happens.
The complete framework for evaluating Puerto Vallarta as a buyer — neighbourhoods, legal structure, banking, the questions every buyer should ask and rarely does. Written for the cohort I serve: not retiring, repositioning.

Stay calm. Buy smart.
What the brochures don't tell you, and the diligence that actually matters.
Pre-construction is the most asymmetric opportunity in this market — and the most exposed to amateur mistakes. This guide covers the permit stack, developer track record, escrow structure, delivery risk, and the three questions that separate serious projects from polished marketing.

No filler. No SEO padding. Written once, kept current.
What this Library is not
- — Not SEO articles padded with statistics from tourism boards.
- — Not brochures dressed as analysis.
- — Not written to rank for "buy property Puerto Vallarta."
More articles and guides will be added as the questions worth answering surface. If there's a document you wish existed — tell me. I write what my clients ask me to explain.

Long shelf life.
Process intelligence and market principles — written to stay accurate for years, not weeks. The same thinking I apply in private client work, published here for anyone who wants it before we've spoken.
Three questions I ask before I show any pre-construction project to a client.
The renderings are always beautiful. Permit status, funding structure, and delivery date are what I check before the renderings matter.
The fideicomiso is not a workaround. It is ownership — and here's the difference.
What a bank trust actually means for a foreign buyer, what it doesn't restrict, and why the distinction matters before you sign.
Why the same investment buys a completely different life depending on where you buy in Banderas Bay.
Five neighbourhoods. One market. The price ranges overlap — but the lifestyle, appreciation curve, and buyer profile are entirely different.
New articles are added as the questions worth answering surface. If there's something you wish existed — tell me.
