I recommend getting an attorney to look into it and advise you of your rights. Fernando Doblado is a competent Cancun lawyer who works a lot in real estate law, I recommend him.

I convinced my lifetime friends to buy as well and they did. We dreamed of retiring there one day. The time has come but five years ago the legal representative of Sunset Resorts has fenced the area and we cannot go inside our property. I hold title, cedula catastral and pay taxes every year. Can you help me I moved to Canada 15 years ago and travel back and forth... Those bastards have taken away my dream and I just want to sell. interesting reading your point of view about Isla Blanca, I bought a small 400sq. mts. property there 20 yrs ago, exactly between chucmuchuuch and the Caribbean, across from Isla Mujeres.

When I move back I will miss the lower pace of life, and most of all, my maid. I love to make messes and let someone else clean up!

And I will return The pool,restaurants and hotel were about 60% full per their management because of the bad economy everywhere. This hotel has a big European clientle. Nice people are worried about their jobs. My truck is paid for. My mortgage comes back every month like a bad habit.The stock market kicked my butt. US people know that they are living beyond their means. Credit is free and easy. Now they are facing some problems ..we all are LOL Yeah I am a tourist and I love Mexico and cannot relate to your specific comments because I have myopia. I was born in the Bronx and got out quickly care of the US Navy. You are successfull in Mexico and will be the same in the US.

I think that it's been a very healthy thing for me to live in a house that I paid cash for, with no mortgage. Once you've lived debt-free it's very hard to want to go back to owing a bank lots of money for a house. I think my ideas about status and class have changed since living in Mexico too. I'm much less concerned about driving a nice car or living in an expensive home than I used to be. Living in Mexico as a white ex-pat gives you a status that has nothing to do with money, which makes you realize how fake all that class stuff is in the first place.

Meanwhile, many in the U.S. are highly dissatisfied as a result of living well beyond their means.
