In this episode of Dream Retirement in Mexico podcast, host Risa Morimoto welcome Michele Poirier who shares invaluable insights about property management and renting in Cabo San Lucas. Michele started a property management business after moving to Cabo from Canada, and now manages 14 homes. She highlights the safety and amenities of living in Cabo, discussing her own 1200 sq ft rental in a gated community and pointing out the rental process challenges, pricing, and adjustments to Mexican life. Michele emphasizes the importance of making a gradual transition to Mexico, considering the technicalities of managing phone numbers, emails, and banking. She provides practical advice for those straddling life between two countries and stresses that the rental agreements, usually in Spanish, require a deposit and references. With rental market expectations and cost breakdowns—including how her company, Proper Savvy Property Management, assists in managing homes, listing on platforms, and handling maintenance—Michele paints a comprehensive picture of the property landscape in Cabo. The episode also touches on additional services like stocking groceries and managing bills and the benefits of Airbnb stays in exploring local areas.
