This is a culturally southern town with very clear neighborhoods. 

And those that live in Oregon of course think we are Oregon everyone wants to be US:) I still Pine for the Napa Valley though that was the best place I ever lived.. spent 10 great years there.Bottom line for weather culture fun and many other reasons there is a reason 40 million plus people live in CA....

Perfect weather, every type of entertainment and amusement in the world, cultural events, beautiful beaches, world class universities and medical care, etc.

I lived in Crucita for a few years but now live full time in San Clemente where we are starting our condo development project.It's definitely worth coming back especially if you already have a feel for Ecuador and if the lifestyle and culture resonated with you.

The culture at KW is very different from other companies.

DISCLOSURE; I am not picking on agents - I am a broker - I understand the culture - been there done that!

I then spent a couple years in Brazil living among the people and soaking up an incredible culture.

That is why I will not be having skin in the game in buy and holds, I ran my number and I have better returns on another avenue, only a development project will equal to what I am getting now. ~20% c/c is not enough for me.

Because I've grown to HATE corporate life.I currently work as a project manager for a dysfunctional technology company with a toxic culture and terrible leadership.

I ran into a problem (tenant does not allow me on to the property) and the only way for me to show the property is for the owner (seller) to grant me access in person.
