could be purchased with iniFal payment of $250,000 with PDI’s and its members paying the balance and closing cost. The home would then be managed as a corporaFon with shares divided based on the amount iniFally invested. Homeowners can increase their percentage of ownership by buying shares in the home back from PDI at any Fme and can transiFon from part to full ownership with no restricFons. Conversely they can also reduce ownership by selling shares back to PDI if they prefer. Proﬁts from the home (via vacaFon rentals and/or the eventual resale of the home) are shared with the share-‐ holders based on their percentage of ownership in the corporaFon. Partnership Purchasing with means that prior to purchase potenFal homes will be veYed by PDI’s real estate professionals.

PDI Real Estate & Partnership Program in Mexico For some foreigners wanFng to

purchase Mexican real estate the biggest challenges is the lack of financing currently available. For some the desire to own property in Mexico is strong but purchasing a reFrement or vacaFon property may not be within their savings. Now instead of waiFng on the sidelines, moFvated buyers can enter the exciFng world of Mexican real estate and start enjoying the benefits of ownership immediately. Partnership Purchasing is an innova1ve, flexible means of purchasing Mexican proper1es Partnership Purchasing through PDI means that a home can be purchased for less than the total list price with PDI and its ability to uFlize its investors providing the addiFonal capital for the purchase. In Partnership Purchasing for example a home worth $400,000

“PDI approaches each buyer individually and works with him or h e r t o a s s u r e t h a t e v e r y transac1on is clean smooth and with no risk to either partner.” -‐-‐ Agent, Teresa BeckeG, PDI Real Estate. The opFon of owning a home as a corporaFon in Mexico is not new. As of 1995 foreigners can fully own, operate and administer Mexican corporaFons. A foreign corporaFon in Mexico requires two or more i n d i v i d u a l i n v e s t o r s , w h o combined, control 100% of the corporaFon UNIQUE ADVANTAGES: Including allowing foreigners to purchase real estate in restricted zones, lower taxes, the ability to deduct expenses, no need for expensive bank trusts and the fact that transferring shares is easy. “In-‐house accoun1ng staﬀ take care of tax obliga1ons for our partners” —Daniel Diaz, PDI Accountant. One of the biggest draw-‐ backs of a corporaFon is normally the amount of monthly paperwork required. The good news for homeowners working with PDI is that their team of skilled

accountants and lawyers takes care that will providing home owners with full transparency through regular updates since they are part of the company as well. RenFng out property while not using creates revenue stream The other major component of a Partnership Purchase with PDI is potenFal income generated by v a c a F o n r e n t a l s a n d t h e o p p o r t u n i t y f o r p r o p e r t y management. This income stream can be paid to the owner or used to increase their owner-‐ ship of the h o m e t h r o u g h p u r c h a s e o f addiFonal shares. Relying on PDI’s team of property management professionals eliminates the hassles of paying monthly bills and day to day upkeep of your home while ensuring that weekly vacaFon rentals run smoothly.

Mexico is the newest retirement destination for many seniors. Good weather, white sandy beaches, low cost of living and now, a superb new retirement community adds to Mexico’s appeal. Mexico and its many resort destinations, as you know, are a short flight and served by many American and Canadian airlines. Puerto Vallarta, the Mexican Riviera beach resort town, is only a few hours flight time from anywhere in North America. Puerto Vallarta is a popular beach city in Mexico and one of the safest places in the world. More than 10,000 expats are currently living in this city. 1.2 million American citizens call Mexico their home. In 2013, 35 million Americans visited Mexico. Puerto Vallarta has many internationally recognized hospitals, dental clinics and plastic surgery centers. As reported in a recent CNN news report, quality care and easy accessibility to bilingual doctors in Puerto Vallarta make medical and dental tourism very attractive. Appointments can be made within days to visit a doctor at affordable rates. (See www.cnn.com/ 2014/05/15/world/americas/us-mexico-retirees/ ) Transformation centers staffed with experienced, forward-thinking doctors We have now created “transformation centers”. Expat communities are developed in prime real estate locations and are equipped with first-class facilities including temporary and permanent guest rooms, pools, massage centers, exercise studios, out- door eating and garden areas. We have assembled a network of experienced forward-thinking doctors and health givers who offer guidance to residents. Our practitioners take time to listen to patients´ needs and develop individual, holistic solutions based on proper diet, exercise and stress reduction philosophies -- all of which can be achieved at our senior living communities. We refer to them as transformation centers for many reasons.

A patient may come for medical surgery, recover with their loved one in a vacation-like set- ting for a couple of weeks. We take care of transportation to doctor’s visits, arranging meals, entertainment for loved ones, all the details. Others come back to vacation for a few months and eventually retire to one of our communities knowing the future of their health is foreseen forever changing their lives in a positive direction. We have partnered with top medical and dental professionals to create a network of wide ranging special- ties. In many cases payment can be made with insurance coverage with a pre-approval from your home country. Additionally, major medical Mexican insurance is offered at affordable rates for individuals and their families. Week-long medical recovery stays to all-inclusive permanent assisted living options We offer spectacular full time residences and vacation resorts with varying levels of affordable medical care: from having your teeth cleaned with an English speaking dentist, to hip replacement surgery with 24 hr. nurse recovery care to around-the-clock gerontology services with ocean views!

Our network of medical professionals and first class housing assure high quality care and low prices, where doctors and nurses are reachable 24 hours a day.
