<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well as a Scotia bank stockholder, when i look at the financial reports i can see the earnings from latin America are consolidated, so it is clear they own a controlling interest, at least. As for the annual fee, you might want to check with your bank.  &quot;There is an initial fee to set up the trust. It will be included in your estimate of closing costs. There is an annual fee for maintaining the trust, which is typically only a few hundred dollars a year. Under the trust agreement, you maintain and enjoy the right to occupy, rent, repair, expand (within property building codes) and sell the condo or house at your will.&quot; From <a href="http://mexlend.com/trust/">http://mexlend.com/trust/</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a friend you lived there for several years.  She found it quiet and well maintained.  Security was good... The pool with the littlemrestaurant was lovely.  The marina taxi was nice and convenient.  I think you’d need a car if you live there as it’s not a simple walk to town.  And although it was a lovely complex, I prefer Zihuatanejo.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ditto on the cobblestones! We passed on a great deal there because of the streets. They will kill a car.  And driving to Zihua for most everything until your car falls apart.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>i am sorry that I have mentionned, in spanish that i knew that i would need a Trust deed through a Bank. I have one with mi condo in Monarca at Scotia Bank. My question  is more aimed at the way of living there: quality of life, noises, By-laws ,Quality of services and the restaurant, spécial appeal for more money ,access to Ixtapa   , security Etc.  I am now also looking in section A. Thanks in advance for your answers in English , French or Spanish. I am from Québec, retired and  lived alone 24 weeks a year en Ixtapa for the last ten years.</p>
</blockquote><p>I've only visited Porto Ixtapa various times over the years since it was built. It is one of our area's most exclusive developments with gated security who also patrol the grounds. My friends who own property there seem quite content with their investment. They say the food is good at the clubhouse. The only times I've eaten there were special events where food was brought in by family and friends. There are some vacation rental properties there, but there is no noise there from the discos in Ixtapa, and the clubhouse seems quite low key except for the occasional special event. The streets are cobblestone, which keeps speeds down, and they will rattle cars apart if you drive them a lot.</p>
<p>You'll need to speak with either a realtor or a resident for the other info you requested.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We set up a &quot;new&quot; trust in Jan.  There is a charge for setting it up not just the annual fee.  The total was 44,000 Pesos for set up and two years of trust.  After that it's equivalent of $500 US in Pesos.  It's the third trust that we have had in Mexico.<br />
It's a simple agreement that allows people who are not Mexican Nationals to own property in Mexico.  The trust is also transferable if you sell the property.  That avoids the set up fee for the next buyer.</p>
