At least I realize I was correctly informed on it.
Thanks again.

Selling a condo...anyway around this unfair situation?
When we bought it a couple of years ago the exchange rate was about 14 pesos to the buck. Much less now. So even though we are selling at a loss the agent says we will need to pay capital gains.
Seems unfair to me. Anybody know a way around it?

Consultant on hourly basis for advice on selling condo?
Dear Folks,
Our retirement plans have changed and reluctantly we will be selling our beloved condo in Puerto Vallarta.
Can anybody recommend somebody savvy who would consult with us on the best way to sell it in this market?
Thanks for your help.

Why is realtor commission so high?
We need to sell our beautiful condo in the Marbella Suites. A realtor quoted us that his commission is 8%.
Is that standard?
Does anybody know a good way to sell - that works - that costs less?
Thanks for any help.

Best of the expensive restaurants
Hi All, Usually we stick to the modest to middle range restaurants. But on this trip my wife would like to go to one of the "beautiful restaurants". I know some of them are not as good as they are cracked up to be. Which of them is your favorite - counting food and ambiance? Incidentally, she is a v...

For folks who hate crowds - how handle Easter Week?
Hello Everybody,
We have been to PV almost ten times, but always when the place is quiet. This time we must come for the ten days following Easter.
Does anybody have any good strategies on how to keep loving PV even during a time like this?
Thanks for any tips from old PV pros.

Any off the beaten track place that serves fresh fish?
It seems that lately, even at expensive spots, I am getting fish that tastes frozen. I want the little out of the way place - or for that matter any place - that serves strictly fresh fish - ideally caught the same day.
Am I asking too much?

Peso killing our rental dollar. Any solution?
Maybe we are just overlooking something. We own a condo in the Hotel Zone which we are renting out long term and being paid in pesos. As all of you know, we are taking quite a beating now when we change them into dollars. Does anybody have any ideas on how to cure this awful situation? Thanks for an...

Recent poster now can only get away to PV April 14-21
I asked earlier about how bad it is during Spring Break. Given my wife's work it now turns out we can only come to PV April 14-21. Will we be bummed out by the large crowds? We are used to quiet times in PV.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
