As I’ve been sharing this week, I expect this deal to rank among the greatest I’ve ever brought to my RETA group…

  • San José del Cabo is a haven of the ultra-wealthy anchored by some of the world’s most prestigious resorts and framed by cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, and a thriving art and dining scene. 
  • This is one of the world’s most dynamic luxury markets. Billions in new investment is flowing in. The demand for best-in-class real estate from buyers and renters is incredible. But developable land is hugely scarce.
  • Huge land scarcity and insatiable demand is driving prices higher. At the entry point of San José’s real estate market, a two-bed condo with ocean views already starts at around $400,000 but prices quicky rise into the $600,000s…$700,000s…and more…
  • And yet the RETA-only price is from just $298,400. That’s for a stunning two-bed, two-bath ocean-view condo in a dream location 10 minutes from the airport and minutes from the beach and downtown San José del Cabo. And you won’t find this price online. No brokers have it. It’s completely off-market.
  • With this incredible gap between the RETA price and the open market, I expect gains of around $186,600 just three yearsafter delivery. 
  • And there’s huge income. I conservatively expect gross rental yields of 15%—gross income of $44,825. And that’s leaving lots of time for personal use. 

It’s that final point I want to dive into today. Because I expect these condos to be rental income machines…

A developer’s render showing the striking oceans views from the rooftop infinity pool in our community. While not to be considered final, these renders show why this community with its resort-level amenities will have huge appeal to the well-heeled short- and long-term renters flocking to Los Cabos.

Picture this…

Bob and Linda wake in your condo in San José del Cabo.

Morning light spills over the Sierra de la Laguna hills, washing their terrace in soft amber. From their perch above San José, they can see the Sea of Cortez shimmering on the horizon. Bob pours coffee, Linda joins him outside on the terrace. They pause, taking in the views as the warm desert air washes over them.

Bob’s a financial analyst. Linda’s an IT consultant. They can work from anywhere. They sent several months a year in Cabo. It’s a base near home, with a better lifestyle. Often they talk of moving.

Today they’re utterly free. After coffee and a light breakfast, they lace up their sneakers and set off on the nearby Cerro de la Chiva trail right behind the community. The path winds through granite and cactus, gradually opening onto wide views of the town and coast. At the summit, the panorama takes their breath away—San José’s red-tiled rooftops, desert hills, and the endless curve of blue sea.

By late morning they’re back home and swimming in the community’s rooftop pool—an infinity edge that seems to spill into the Sea of Cortez. A few fellow residents are already up there, sharing tips on the best local restaurants and golf courses. 

As the day softens, Bob and Linda drive just 10 minutes along palm-lined boulevards to Puerto Los Cabos marina. They’ve decided on a treat—sports fishing in the glistening waters offshore. 

They return in their charter a few hours later, laughing and telling stories of marlin and mahi-mahi. 

Just ten minutes from the community, Puerto Los Cabos spans more than 2,000 acres of marina, golf, and oceanfront luxury. 

Dinner tonight is at an alfresco table at farm-to-table restaurant Flora Farms, where fresh herbs perfume the air. 

Afterward, they wander San José’s historic streets for the weekly Art Walk. Galleries spill music and light onto cobblestones, and conversations spark between visitors, artists, and locals who wander around with wine glasses in hand.

For Bob and Linda, life in San José del Cabo is effortless…colonial plazas, farm-to-table dining, the beauty of the ocean, and an international airport that makes jetting in and out a breeze. 

And your condo is the perfect way to experience it.

All the condos in our community will have premium finishes, extra-high ceilings and striking ocean views.

People like Bob and Linda are the kind renters who are flocking to San José del Cabo. Affluent professionals and entrepreneurs coming from markets like California and Texas who follow the jet stream of the ultra-wealthy but want something more real, more livable. 

Folks like this coming to Cabo bring their price expectations. 

In Cabo they are totally happy to pay $400 per night, $500 per night or more to have a best-in-class condo in a nice community in a good location. For many, that’s great value when compared to back home. 

And our community—10 minutes from the airport with resort-level amenities and ocean views—is exactly the kind of community that has massive appeal to them.

When my team ran the data for rentals in and around San José the results suggested that a 15% gross yield for our $298,400 condos in Cabo Hills was on the most conservative side. That’s based on an occupancy of 59.5% and nightly rates from $250 to $430 depending on the time of year. For a new, well-finished two-bed ocean-view condo with rooftop pools, co-work and gym in San José that’s a very credible target

Let’s look at the numbers…

In 2024, the average daily hotel rate along The Corridor—the 20-mile stretch between San José and Cabo San Lucas—reached $626 per night, with occupancy at 76%. That’s up from roughly 70% in prior years—a clear sign of sustained, high-end demand. And that increase is despite nightly rates rising 15% to 20% in premium months.

Short-term rental rates for condos in San Jose are typically $250 to $400 a night. But many Airbnb listings around San José proper are older or lack full resort amenities (no rooftop pool, co-work, gym). Our community, with those amenities, will command a premium nightly rate

Alegranza Residences is a reasonable comparison to our community in terms of location and amenities. A condo there rents for $438.50 a night in December. And it’s in demand.

Here’s another example…

Below is a two-bed condo in a community called Casa Nima, another reasonable comparison to our community. It’s listed short term for $550.50 a night in February. And again it’s often booked.

This is the market!


Think about this…

The rates paid for hotel and short-term rental stays in Los Cabos rival the world’s most luxurious destinations, yet ownership costs are far lower.

Our renters are the same affluent couples, families, and groups who go to Santa Barbara and Malibu, who want sun, sea, and space—but the economics are entirely different.

In Malibu, you’re competing in a hyper-inflated market where a modest beach house can run $5–10 million, and even then you’re fighting regulations, seasonality, and high holding costs. Yields are typically low—2% or 3% if you’re lucky—because the entry price is astronomical and supply is restricted by zoning.

In San José del Cabo, you’re catering to the same traveler profile—people flying down from Los Angeles, San Diego, or Dallas for long weekends or winter breaks—but your purchase price is a fraction of what you’d pay in California, while occupancy and nightly rates remain world-class.


Firepits from which to enjoy the view and perfect climate with friends. The planned amenities combined with the location make a dynamite proposition for renters. The historic art district is just five minutes, the nearest beaches five minutes…the dining, the golf, the fishing, hiking…it’s all on your doorstep.

As I say, I expect these condos will be rental income machines. Even my conservative estimates result in gross yields of 15%.

I’ll be digging into the rental case in greater detail in my full deal briefing tomorrow. That drops tomorrow (Saturday, October 25) at 1 p.m. ET. 

This  will be your chance to see all the numbers and review all the details of this deal. And if you like what you see, you’ll have until midnight Monday to join RETA at a special discount and get the chance to act on this deal.

But I advise you to move quickly…

This deal opens soon—on Wednesday, Oct. 29. And I know excitement is huge among members.
