The Hill in Mexico Where I Own 5 Condos

There’s a hill in Mexico where I own more real estate than anywhere else in the world.

All told, I’ve invested in five condos there.

And it’s that same hill where I’m about to bring an exclusive new deal to members of my Real Estate Trend Alert (RETA) group…a chance to own luxurious two-bed ocean-view condos and see expected gains of $175,400 just four years after delivery.

That hill is called El Tezal…

In a moment, I’ll dig into El Tezal. First, though, let’s zoom out and talk about where you’ll find it: Los Cabos.

Set at the base of the Baja California peninsula, Cabo is a perfect-weather destination. For the majority of the year, bright fresh mornings are followed by warm, sunny afternoons and cool pleasant evenings.

This weather is perfect for being active and outdoors during the day, whether strolling along its stunning beaches, dipping in and out of the glistening ocean, or hiking in the cactus-studded hills. And then afterward, this weather is ideal for a long, restful night’s sleep.

Cabo’s perfect climate and strikingly beautiful coastline have turned it into a tourism juggernaut.

Millions flock here every year. 2024 set a new record. Many who come are wealthy. Increasingly, those who come want to stay longer, or live part or full time.

Helping drive all this is Cabo’s accessibility. Dozens of passenger flights arrive daily from across the U.S. and around the world. And that’s not to mention all the private jets.

Cabo is a short, easy flight from some of the biggest and most affluent markets in the U.S. like California and Texas. Californians are especially drawn (and pushed) to Cabo, where they find many of the things they love about home without the things they hate—like eye-watering real estate prices.

I view Cabo as a satellite of the Californian market, where someone facing the state’s median real estate price of $860,300 sees only incredible value.

Cabo, then, is highly desirable…highly accessible…has got perfect weather…and every amenity you could imagine.

When you buy right here, you get blue-chip real estate. And when you rent short or long term, you’re renting to blue-chip tenants from some of the world’s most affluent markets…tenants who bring their price expectations and think nothing of paying rents of $3,000 a month…$4,000 a month…and more…

This is Cabo today. Now, let’s talk geography and El Tezal…

Los Cabos is made up of two cities, Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo.

Cabo San Lucas has the glitz and glamor, the hustle and bustle. This is where you’ll find the world-renowned marina, the high-end malls, the luxury boutiques.

San Jose del Cabo is different. It’s charming, artistic, and bohemian, best known for its galleries, colonial architecture and cobblestoned streets.

These are two very distinct cities, each offering something unique and appealing. Linking them is what’s called the Cabo Corridor…a long coastal stretch lined with luxury resorts and stunning beaches. (In 2024, hotels on the corridor had the highest average nightly rate of any region in Cabo.)

Here, along this stretch, is where you’ll find the hill of El Tezal.

Cabo and the Baja are in the early days of a three-decade-long upswing. And communities on the slopes of El Tezal are ideally located as Cabo booms, with easy access to beaches, stores, schools, marina, golf, fine dining, art, and ocean…all amenities.

Yet, because they’re on the majestic slopes of El Tezal, the setting is quiet, serene.

This setting gives them something else…spectacular views.

From El Tezal, you have stunning views out to Land’s End, where the Sea of Cortez meets the mighty Pacific. To call them breathtaking doesn’t do them justice.

People are willing to spend big, into the millions of dollars, to have this perfect setting. That’s why the new RETA-deal I’ve negotiated there is so mind-blowing.

With this RETA-only deal, members will have the chance to own spacious two-bed, two-bath condos with fantastic ocean views in a luxurious, amenity-rich community.

I like to think of this community as “the penthouse” of El Tezal. It’s right atop the hill on a tranquil road. And yet you’re still so close to everything. The location is just:

• 14 minutes’ drive from the marina in Cabo San Lucas.

• 23 minutes from the fine dining and art of San José del Cabo.

• 10 minutes from a Walmart, and equally close to a bunch more stores, restaurants, and resorts.

• 9 minutes from Cabo del Sol golf club…Cabo San Lucas country club is a few minutes more going in the other direction.

• 36 minutes from the international airport.

• One hour and 9 minutes from trendy Todos Santos where I like to hang out at weekends.

• Just one minute from Mercado Santa Carmela with its deli and farm-fresh groceries and two minutes from Fresko with its gourmet goodies and huge produce range.

• 11 minutes from my favorite beach at Santa Maria

Not only is the location ideal, but within this community, the amenities are next level.

These will include a sky pool from which to look out over the Sea of Cortez, another big ocean-view pool, fire pits with ocean views, a co-work area with ocean views…a gym with, you guessed it, ocean views…

And yet, because of RETA’s group-buying power, the members-only price is insanely low.

Let me show you a map. It lists the pricing for two-bed condos in the best-in-class communities around El Tezal. Notice, in red, the RETA-only off-market price in our community, El Mirador at Cabo Costa…

We’ve already seen incredible successes with our past RETA-only deals in Los Cabos thanks to only buying best-in-class and doing it at exclusive off-market prices.

• $122,700 in six months:In May 2022 we had our RETA-only deal at Monte Rocella with off-market pricing from $234,600 for two-bedroom, two-bath ocean-view condos. Six months after our deal opened a two-bed condo of 1,215 square feet that RETA members could buy for $274,800 was listing for $397,500. That’s $122,700 uplift just a few months after we had our deal. And last week I saw a pricelist showing a two-bed ocean view condo in Monte Rocella for $437,000. (I bought in Monte Rocella.)

• $176,000 uplift:We had our Cabo Costa deal in August 2021. A similar condo to those that had the RETA-only price of $249,000 listed in December 2023 for $499,000. That’s an uplift of $250,000. I bought a condo in Cabo Costa myself. (I haven’t sold mine.)

• $313,844 uplift in Copala.I bought my two-bed, two-bath condo alongside RETA members in Copala in the 5-star Quivira resort in April 2015. The RETA price was $336,156. In August 2022 a local broker contacted me to see if I wanted to sell my condo for around $600,000. And I’ve since seen a similar condo listing for $650,000.

There’s more to say about the RETA track record in Cabo but you get the idea…

By buying the right kind of truly special real estate at exclusively low RETA pricing, members are sitting on incredible uplifts in Cabo. Scarcity and exploding demand here mean our insanely low off-market prices are—I believe—the path to truly exceptional gains. It’s thanks to our group buying power and connections.

And we’re set to do it again with this deal, on the hill of El Tezal, where I’ve invested in five condos.

But I must warn you there are only a handful of condos available in this deal.

Also, to be clear, this will be a RETA members-only deal. To ensure you have the chance to get in on this opportunity (and all the other deals I bring to RETA members this year), you need to be a member. All the details for joining are here.

P.S. I’ve been coming to Cabo for more than a decade. I spent part of the winter here every year. It’s one of my favorite places to spend time. Check out this video I recorded earlier this week sharing the top five things I love about Los Cabos…
