Keith & Beth Rabedeau

Employed or Retired: Semi-retired

Status: Couple

Where are you living now / where are you from? My wife Beth & I live in Phoenix, Arizona. We moved here in 2000 from Chicago, Illinois. Prior to Chicago we lived in the New York City area. I am a retired Advertising Executive from the creative side… AKA ‘Mad Men’ LOL…

My wife, Beth, had her own business in Chicago. She was a very well respected commercial casting director.

Timeframe for a move: Not sure. Hopefully within the next 2 years.

Where else are you considering? None

Why Vallarta? We have been coming down to our beloved Puerta Vallarta every year for the past 30 years. Usually we have stayed in a friends timeshare at the Villa del Palmar. We have always daydreamed about owning or renting in PV and have come to the conclusion that if we don’t do it soon we never will.

How can ExPats in Vallarta assist you?  We know the area extremely well, however, not the Real Estate market. I would love to find a network of people that could help me with this.  Unfortunately, because of the economy, we will not be able to buy. I would love to find an apartment/condo in the $800/&$1,200 range for a month based on an annual rate. Also if & when we do this there are many questions that we have regarding the move
