Just over 48 hours to go…
On Saturday at 1 p.m. ET, I’m sending you my full Deal Briefing on the incredible off-market deal I’ve negotiated for my Real Estate Trend Alert (RETA) group in booming San José del Cabo. You’ll get the full briefing free…and if you like what you see, you’ll have the chance to join RETA at a special discount and get access to this deal. (Sign up here for our SMS alerts to get the briefing link sent straight to your phone.)
All my experience—everything I’ve learned in 25 years of scouting and buying real estate overseas—tells me this is set to be one of the greatest deals I’ve ever gotten for RETA.
I’m expecting gains of $186,600 just three years after delivery. And I’m forecasting gross rental yields of 15%. (That’s $44,825 in gross annual income.) And I suspect I’m being conservative on both counts.
Here’s why…
San José is a perfect-weather paradise where soaring desert mountains run down to glorious golden-sand beaches. It’s easily accessible, with direct flight connections to more than 30 cities across North America.
It’s booming, with billions in new investment flowing in and more and more people coming to visit and live, driving huge demand for rentals and resales. Developable land is hugely scarce—most prime parcels have already been absorbed by branded resorts, suitable land is ever-more expensive, and new permits are tightly controlled.
And yet I’ve managed to get a stunning deal on incredible ocean-view condos in an amenity-rich community—all just 10 minutes from the airport, on an elevated site close to everything: the colonial center, the beaches, the marina, the dining, the golf. And the RETA-only pricing I’ve negotiated in simply mind-blowing. It’s a complete outlier in the luxury San José del Cabo market
That’s what I want to dig into today—this incredible off-market pricing…how I got it…and what it means for anyone who acts…
San José del Cabo is the refined heart of the southern Baja California peninsula where homes sell for many millions and nightly hotel rates soar into the thousands.
If you don’t know Los Cabos, at its heart are the twin towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, connected by a 20-mile stretch of coastline known as The Corridor. This is a perfect-weather destination—320 days of sunshine, cool sea air, and luminous blue skies.
The Cabo coastline is the epicenter of a luxury boom that has transformed the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Billions of dollars have poured into resorts, golf courses, and high-end residential communities.
San José del Cabo is the cultural and historic heart of this region—elegant, art-filled, and effortlessly beautiful. It’s anchored by some of the world’s most prestigious resorts—places like One&Only Palmilla and Las Ventanas al Paraíso—and framed by cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, and a thriving art and dining scene.
I spend time each winter in Los Cabos, watching and scouting the roaring wave of development transforming the Baja Peninsula. At the center of it all is San José del Cabo—anchored by its expanding international airport, world-class resorts, and a steady surge of wealthy visitors.
San José del Cabo is where Hollywood’s elite relax. It’s an easy hop from California. The international airport—just 10 minutes from our opportunity—has direct flights from across the U.S. and Canada. Private jets cram the runaways.
This is the neighborhood of Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney, and the discreet, high-net-worth crowd who prize the effortless luxury that San José delivers. It’s a multi-millionaire’s market—a playground of the rich—where homes regularly sell for $2 million, $5 million, even $10 million+.
It also attracts lots and lots of the “ordinary rich”…
The ordinary rich are the successful professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners who want the Cabo lifestyle without paying celebrity prices. I count myself among them. I spend time here each winter and own more real estate here than anywhere else in the world.
San Jose del Cabo draws some of the world’s wealthiest folks. This villa is on the market there right now for just over $18 million.
At the entry point of San José’s real estate market, a two-bed condo with ocean views starts at around $400,000, but prices quickly streak higher.
In prime locations with strong amenities, prices typically run $500,000 to $700,000. For the best ocean views and top-tier finishes, it’s not unusual to see listings at $700,000…$800,000…even more.
Let me show you what I mean. Below is a listing for a two-bed condo on the beach in Tortuga Bay. The price tops $900,000…
A two-bed condo listing in Tortuga Bay on the beach in San José for $920,000. Homes climb far higher—well into the multi-million-dollar range for ocean-view and branded-resort properties.
Nearby in the master-planned community of Campestre, the lowest-priced two-bed my team found was $419,000 in Paramo Village.
More typical? A two-bed in Wen Village in Campestre listed for $849,000.
In the colonial center of San José del Cabo, a two-bed condo in the Flamboyan community is listed for $735,000.
Now consider the exclusive, off-market pricing I’ve negotiated…
Prices for two-bed condos list for well into the high six figures in San José del Cabo, but I’ve negotiated a price that’s far, far less…
Using the collective-buying power of all RETA members, I can get exclusive deals from developers.
RETA pricing is off-market, negotiated directly with the developer. This is win-win. The developer can sell to RETA before public launch and get a rapid injection of sales. This changes their financial models, saves on marketing, and lets them move on sooner to other projects. In return, we get pricing far below what anyone else ever pays.
With this deal in San José, the developer got a great deal on the land, so has the bandwidth to agree to our RETA-only pricing.
And that mind-blowing pricing? From just $298,400. That’s for a two-bed, two-bath ocean-view condo in a dream location—on an elevated site close to all the luxury, art, beaches and dining of one of North America’s most coveted destinations…
Plus, the community will be incredibly rich in resort-level amenities—rooftop pools, a gym, co-working space, lounge areas, fire pits.
And it’ll be just 10 minutes from the international airport and a few minutes from the historic downtown and the beaches of San José del Cabo.
A developer render showing the view from the rooftop infinity-edge pool. (Renders like this shouldn’t be considered final but give a great idea.) The developer behind the community has 43 years of experience creating landmark projects. In San José del Cabo, they are behind the ultra-luxurious Viceroy resort and the high-end Cora community.
The gap between this RETA pricing and the open market is extraordinary. Similar projects in San José del Cabo list for $319…$459…$572…even $620 per square foot.
The RETA-only price is from just $262 per square foot. This is a price that, frankly, shouldn’t exist in a market like this.
You can see it in the table below…
With this mind-blowing pricing, I conservatively expect gains of $186,600 just three years after delivery.
And the income implications are incredible.
Your rental yield is always a function of the price you pay. You can never change that. Get in at a great price and it shapes everything that follows for as long as you hold your real estate.
With this pricing and the huge appeal our community will have to the “ordinary rich” folks who are flocking to Cabo, our yields are supercharged.
I conservatively expect gross rental yields of 15%—gross income of $44,825. And that’s leaving lots of time for personal use.
Honestly, a much stronger yield was suggested when we dug into the last few years data for occupancy and average daily rates. But I like to go with the most cautious forecast.
The RETA-only price is no brainer—from just $298,400 for a two-bed, ocean-view condo in the ideal location in San José. Prices for condos with this level of amenities are much higher, mostly going from the $400,000s and up. My full Deal Briefing on this opportunity will drop in your inbox on Saturday.

I first scouted Cabo in 2014. And since then we’ve had exceptional RETA opportunities in Cabo San Lucas and along The Corridor, with uplifts of $157,200…$265,100, and even $392,844.
That $392,844 uplift was on two-bedroom condos in Copala, within the 5-star Quivira resort, where I bought alongside RETA members back in 2015.
As I say, I own more real estate in Cabo than anywhere else in the world. And Cabo is the one place I’ve bought two condos in a RETA deal…and I’ve done it twice
All for good reason…
A similar condo I saw listed in Copala recently a floor above mine was going for $729,000. And I’ve rented my condo for $3,000 a month when not there. A rate that has doubled since I first rented.
If you haven’t seen our RETA track record in Cabo, let me tell you two things about it…
It’s spectacular—and it’s short. The right deals here are incredibly hard to find.
The RETA track record in Cabo is incredible…and short. Deals here don’t come along often.
You can probably count the RETA deals in Cabo on one hand, that’s how rare and special they are. And as you can see, they have paid off for members who’ve acted.
While I expect the same spectacular gains in this deal, this one is different in a significant way…
This is the first-ever RETA deal in San José del Cabo—and there’s a very real possibility it could be the last. And maybe our best Cabo deal yet.
On Saturday at 1 p.m. ET , I’ll be sharing my full Deal Briefing on this incredible new Cabo opportunity with you. You’ll get the full briefing free…see all my numbers…all my research…and if you like what you see—you’ll be able to join RETA at a special discount and get the chance to act on this deal alongside RETA members.
