If listening fits your day better than sitting down with a book, this gives you another way to work through the questions behind buying, building and owning a home in Mexico.
The recording runs for four hours and 31 minutes across 27 chapters. You can take it a chapter at a time, leave space to think about what applies to you, and return to a subject when a decision gets closer.
Who I wrote it for
The book is for people who enjoy Mexico and are starting to wonder whether a place of their own belongs in their future.
Perhaps you return to the same part of the coast each year. Perhaps you are looking at listings, considering a build, or trying to understand what ownership would mean between visits.
There is a lot to consider before a holiday becomes a property project. Location is one part. So are the purchase process, the people involved, the practical demands of a house and the arrangements you need when you are somewhere else.
I wrote the book from my experience of working through those questions. Its purpose is to help you look more closely at the decisions ahead of you.
How Casa fits into the story
Earlier property experience came together when we built Casa Arroyo Blanco in Akumal. That work helped shape the book; I have written more about how the house and the book connect.
What you receive with the audiobook
The direct audiobook edition includes a chaptered M4B file and a ZIP containing the chapter MP3 files for offline listening.
Those are two ways of accessing the same book. The chapter files make it possible to keep individual subjects separate; the M4B provides the chaptered audiobook in one file. Check which format your preferred listening app accepts before choosing how to use the download.
You can find the current price and purchase details on the audiobook page.
The book and podcast are there too
If you prefer reading, From Vacation to Owner is also available through Amazon in paperback and Kindle. The book page takes you to those editions.
The Vacation to Owner podcast and videos are a separate way to explore the subjects in the book. They give you a place to watch or listen without starting with the full book.
For the audiobook itself, buy directly from Vacation to Owner. It is the same project and the same practical questions, now in a format you can listen to.
