Thinking about retiring in Mexico?   How about developing senior housing and living product south of the border?  The opportunities exist but major challenges remain to make retiring south of the US border a slam dunk.  A group of business executives known as AMAR held a conference in San Antonio this past weekend to promote development of senior living in Mexico.  The group consisted of consumers, marketing professionals, real estate developers and various finance professionals and had sessions for both business representatives and consumers.  The conference was primarily spoken in Spanish with translation to English as the majority of attendees were from Mexico.  Some of the key take aways from the conference were:

• All owners and operators consistently stated that costs are 50-60% less in Mexico than in the US or Canada for physical development & final costs.  This was a consistent subject when listening to different developers in all parts of Mexico. 
• Healthcare solutions exist at various price ranges throughout the country including coverage for catastrophic emergencies depending on Visa status
• Most developments are for independent living (i.e.  homes and fractional residences)
• Proximity to Airports and Border are critical.
• Safety.  Despite the press, retirement in Mexico remains safe.  Presenters stated that the conflict exists between the druglords and the federales / police, not the retirees.
• Some developers are repositioning their properties as retirement locations rather than second home destinations.  Sales pitch is still resort lifestyle with CCRC type of amenities.
• Connectivity.  Researchers state those who are retired in Mexico today are in communication telephonically and via the Internet on a regular basis not much different than in the US.
• Medicare in Mexico.  This is the most critical part to explosive growth for retirement in Mexico.  While there are initiatives to bring Medicare from the US to Mexico, participants stated that this is a big wish.  Access to healthcare providers is top priority in those looking at retiring and those who already have retired in Mexico.

Final thoughts:  Retiring Mexico is a good alternative if you are looking for a temperate retirement, are mobile, in reasonably good health and have a sense for adventure.  There are groups of Americans retiring and living in Mexico in growing numbers so finding a community with Gringos is not out of the picture.  For development, until there is some kind of relationship between the US and Mexico for medical coverage (think NAFTA for healthcare…), Mexican retirement is a niche that is a viable alternative for a small group of American retirees.

Look for a few follow up articles from the conference focusing more specifically on segments of retiring in Mexico.

For those of you who stayed in Saturday night, hopefully you caught the “senior special” on Saturday Night Live.  SNL had some of its highest ratings since the 2008 presidential elections with its 88 year old host, Betty White.  During her opening monologue, White talked about generational differences (not knowing what Facebook was). The clip below shows White being interviewed by Tina Fey regarding the US Census.  Kudos to Betty White who now is the unofficial spokesperson for being “cool” at 88 years old.  Rumor has it she was out partying with the cast until 3 in the morning.

Lancaster Pollard recently announced the closing on an $11.7 million financing to build a 63-unit assisted living facility at Tabitha Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Lincoln, Neb. Tabitha is the first nonprofit to finance new construction under the streamlined HUD LEAN processing system of the Federal Housing Administration’s Section 232 mortgage insurance program for senior living and care providers. Only five such new construction projects have been completed via LEAN processing nationwide.

Tabitha was founded in 1886 and delivers a comprehensive system of rural and urban health care to seniors in a 29-county area of southeast Nebraska. The new facility will be financed with a taxable loan insured by the FHA Section 232 program. It will offer 63 units of memory care and assisted living along with an underground parking garage. This project is part of Tabitha’s larger master plan. As part of the structuring, Lancaster Pollard suggested that smaller projects, including the acquisition of a nearby assisted living facility, nursing home renovations and new Green House construction, be financed with tax-exempt bonds underwritten by Smith Hayes, a local broker-dealer.

“Financing the assisted living facility with FHA mortgage insurance protects Tabitha’s overall credit profile because the debt is non-recourse to the community organization,” said Quintin Harris, Lancaster Pollard vice president, who was the lead banker on the transaction. “As such, Tabitha simultaneously funded other projects working with local investors, keeping community involvement in the project. Further, we estimate that Tabitha will save over $300,000 annually using a FHA-insured funding strategy as compared to a traditional fixed-rate bond issue.” The interest rate on the debt is fixed for the life of the 40-year term.

RVs are more and more commonly becoming outfitted with the latest environmentally friendly technology and it’s translating into improved RV sales. Solar panels are not yet a common sight on RVs, but are quickly associated with them in regards to a green RV. The biggest catch to the craze on solar panels is how expensive they are.

Solar panel technology is now twenty years old. Within that time, however, materials haven’t become any cheaper. Solar panels are built using platinum, which ups the price on any finished product. New product development at UQUAM may have more affordable solar panels on the market soon.

So what is platinum’s substitute? UQUAM’s Professor Benot Marsan’s research brought him to cobalt sulphide as a replacement for platinum. Cobalt sulphide is just as sturdy as platinum, but costs a lot less.

Ben Coxworth’s article, Breakthrough in Low Cost Efficient Solar Cells, explains the new materials being employed and how even the coating on solar panels is being updated with a new lighter liquid/gel that is more resistant to aging than traditional electrolytes.

The solar panels aren’t available to consumers, yet. Being able to offer eco-friendly accessories for RVs is only going to increase RV sales. While lightweight trailers and pop-ups have been appealing to the younger, greener generation, so are ways to maintain an environmentally friendly trailer.

The RV industry doesn’t generally have a reputation for being super environmentally friendly. However, new companies are working on lighter and more aerodynamically designed vehicles. Yet the interiors are as important as the exteriors. Changing a light bulb from the ‘cheap’ ones to LED lights will add up in savings over time. In fact, fixtures have been created specifically for RVs to help RV enthusiasts convert.

Pouring vegetable oil into your RV may sound insane, but RVs can run on biodiesel. The catch is, RVs do have to retrofitted to take the biofuel. Without it, you might have a disaster on your hands. Kits are out there that teach RV owners how to convert their vehicles, or professionals can install the biodiesel kit for you. On the road, you may get to know some interesting people as you fill up at a local restaurant instead of gas station. Regular diesel is still needed for ignition, but after you get moving, it’s a quick switch over to biodiesel.

RV sales are staying strong, not only because RVing is a way of life that has been incorporated into American living, but also because RVing is taking note of what their customers want and they want green.
