A Familiar Escape. Their First Investment in Mexico.

How Maegan and Mark turned regular visits to Viceroy Los Cabos into a vacation home with rental income. For Maegan and Mark, Viceroy Los Cabos was already a familiar escape.

As regular guests visiting from Canada, they knew they enjoyed spending time there. The next question was whether owning a residence could combine that enjoyment with an investment that generated rental income.

With Nathan and Karim at South House Real Estate guiding them, a weekend of negotiations led to a deposit—and a completed purchase within 45 days.

There was a personal connection from the outset.

During his 12 years living in Calgary, Nathan had built a network that overlapped with Mark’s. Although they had not previously known each other, they soon discovered several mutual connections.

That shared background provided an easy starting point. Their familiarity with Viceroy gave the conversation a clear focus: purchasing a vacation property somewhere they already loved, with the opportunity to earn income when they were away.

Maegan and Mark had never owned property in Mexico. Purchasing in another country—and receiving rental income there—introduced a new set of questions.

They needed to understand the ownership structure, the purchase process and how participation in the hotel rental program would work.

Nathan and Karim walked them through each stage, including the power of attorney, the fideicomiso and the hotel rental arrangements. The aim was to make the process understandable, giving them the information and support they needed to move forward confidently.

After a weekend of negotiations, Maegan and Mark put down a deposit.

From there, South House stayed closely involved as the purchase progressed towards closing. Questions were answered, next steps explained and the details of the transaction worked through alongside them. Within 45 days, they had completed their purchase.

In their testimonial, Maegan highlighted the team’s responsiveness from the first viewing through to the closing documents—an important part of making an unfamiliar process feel manageable.

Ownership marked the beginning of a different relationship with a destination they already knew well.

Viceroy became both their vacation home and an income-generating investment through the hotel rental program.

South House remained a local point of contact, with guidance extending beyond the transaction to help them enjoy their property and their time in Los Cabos.

As Maegan described it, that local knowledge and ongoing help contributed to a vacation property experience they rated “10/10.”

Maegan and Mark continue to enjoy their Viceroy residence as both a holiday home and an investment, receiving ongoing rental returns through the hotel rental program.

What was once a favourite place to stay is now a property of their own—somewhere they can return to for holidays while earning income when they are away.

They remain delighted with their decision, and South House continues to be a trusted local contact for advice, recommendations and support.
