Hola ;

My boyfriend and me are in very delicate situation, and I am hopping to find some help and information over here .

In March this year, we liquidated our small business ( stopped to be profitable) in California,
we bought small rv , rent our place and moved with 2 dogs of ours to Mexico .
Our mission was to explore possibility of permanent move, and live on our,
how we were hopping, steady, fixed , decent income .
We planed to travel a lot , and give ourself a lot of time
to make any decisions about choosing the place to settle down .

Everything was going well, we loved Mexico, and we still do .
In July, disaster happened, due to recession, and another , more
personal arrangements , we lost one , major one, stream of income .

We are left on very small money, about $1000, for both of us, and
some savings .
The tought about going back to US is very scary,
and it is really last thing we would like or even can do now .

Our goal , from the beggining of Mexican trip, was to get to the state of Oaxaca,
Huatulco on the coast, and city of Oaxaca as the option for summer,
if we would like over there to extends, we would like to stay for good.

From reading about the area, seems to us, like very , very much
place we will be able to fall in love with .

We know Mexico quite well, from previous trips, but never have been as far
south from Pacific side ,
if not counting , flight to Tapachula, years ago, in order to travel to Guatemala .

We need some additional, even small income desperately ,
being exact, 500-600 dollars a month .

If this amount requires time to grow the business,
we are willing to last, the point is, how to choose right direction .

Is it someone on this forum, willing to help, who knows,
about seado rental business ?

How difficult/easy it is to start it somewhere
on Huatulco area beaches, or Puerto Escondido,
or wherever as the matter of fact , any beach touristy area .

Chances for profit ? / Chances for loosing all investment ?

Any information is going to be a treasure .

Another small business pointed to the tourists ?

What would be the most safe ? Food ?

We are not afraid of work, and my boyfriend is from
South America , so we have some language advantage .

We are also fine with living in our small motorhome .

We already forgot about luxury of traveling for
a few years, we want to be able to stay in Mexico .

At the moment , we have FM3 visas, young ones,
valid for almost 11 months ahead ,
but anyway we have to move fast .

We talked to the lawyer, and were told about possibility
of changing visas status .

Not everything seems to be lost yet, however we have practically
zero tolerance now, for hit and miss in any business adventure .

Our investment , small, about 10k,
and this is why I was thinking about buying 2 seados ,
however it can be anything .

If you know, please help me, or maybe someone can
recommend some informative websites .

regards
e.

when started by expat in mexico .
I am trying to cheer myself up, maybe
this is the sign of little competition .
