00:02Oh, oh, oh.
00:04Puerto Rico.
00:06Here we come, yeah.
00:11When we really started thinking about moving from Utah,
00:13Puerto Rico was at the top of our list.
00:16We're on the island, literally looking for our dream home.
00:20Kind of scary.
00:21We came to Puerto Rico on our honeymoon,
00:23and we just, like, completely fell in love with it.
00:25Oh, my God.
00:26Holy crap.
00:27Wow.
00:28Hello.
00:29We both speak a little bit of Spanish.
00:30I loved salsa dance.
00:32It was so fun creating all of these memories.
00:35Woo!
00:37So now we're coming here trying to find our dream home,
00:40the place where we can find this, like, beautiful, sexy life
00:44that we have been seeking after for a long time now.
00:47I feel so relaxed, the waterfall, the energy.
00:49I felt like falling in love again with my wife, honestly.
00:52I want this every day.
01:01We've had a young house, but it's so fun.
01:13We are here in Hamilton.
01:17Thanks so much for being here for levar him from 10 to 10.
01:29And I was like, oh, my God.
01:31And basically, we hung out every day until we got married.
01:35Is that really you?
01:37Alexandra, hey!
01:38Oh, my God!
01:39Yes!
01:40So nice to see you.
01:42As we left the church, Utah is really not the best fit for us anymore.
01:47We just have too many ties there and too many things keeping us into that old version of who we
01:52were.
01:52Looking for a home, I think it really does have to fit this whole reinvention of ourselves.
01:58So this is Rincón.
02:00I know that you mentioned also being curious about Aguada.
02:03Yes.
02:03I'm gonna see Aguada as well.
02:06I started in the business 11 years ago in real estate.
02:09My family from the west side, we used to have a beach house right next to Rincón.
02:14And I remember every single weekend coming by and having fun with my cousins.
02:19I love the west side and it's part of my heart.
02:22We have several beaches.
02:24Rincón is a surf town.
02:26Right.
02:26The type of people that come to Rincón are like free spirit, people with intention of living.
02:32You'll see the homes like surrounded by nature or surrounded by beaches.
02:37You know how they say that when you're surrounded by nature, your mood changes?
02:40So imagine that 100% of the time.
02:43Now that we're like seeing more, it's like making us realize like what we really like.
02:46And we definitely want to be close to the beach.
02:48Three bedrooms still?
02:49Three bedrooms ideal for us.
02:51Like two bathrooms, right?
02:53Yeah, I think at least two would be great.
02:54Three, two.
02:55It would be fantastic to get a property that has some like rental units attached to it.
02:59So we can offset the mortgage, renting out those units.
03:02Okay.
03:02It would be really amazing to have a place that has some rental units.
03:05I work in clinical research.
03:07Hannah is a midwife.
03:08But all of our savings are going into this.
03:10We need to start generating income so that we can survive.
03:14I know Hannah really wants to have a pool.
03:16A primary room that has a king bed.
03:18I really want a king bed.
03:20Because I do know we're looking for furniture so that we don't have to buy a bunch of furniture.
03:24I'm sure that I'm going to help you with this.
03:26Any other thing that you think that I should know?
03:29Yes.
03:29Turnkey would be very nice.
03:30We're not necessarily, I mean turnkey would be nice.
03:33Yes.
03:33But if there's things that are fixer uppers that need some work, you know, it'll help us reduce price.
03:39So tell me, the budget is still 850?
03:42Yes, 850 is kind of, is our max.
03:44However, if we find something we really, really just fall in love with, maybe we have a little bit of
03:48wiggle room.
03:49But we'd love to be below the budget if possible, you know, within that range.
03:54I'm thinking more about saving money.
03:57Getting a fixer upper would be fine for me.
03:59We have lived in a lot of fixer uppers and I am so ready to just walk in and settle
04:05down.
04:06Give me one huepa here.
04:08Let's go!
04:09Huepa!
04:10Let's go!
04:11All right.
04:22We are headed to a very cool area, a place called Puntas, that is a neighborhood where there are just
04:30very luxurious properties like mansions.
04:33Wow.
04:33So I sold this house and it was at 3.6.
04:37Woo!
04:38Mm-hmm.
04:38I just want to explain the price point so you see the value on the property that I'm going to
04:43be taking you that is in Puntas as well.
04:46And it's a $785,000 listing.
04:49So you're exposed to properties right next door that were sold over $3 million.
04:55Exciting!
04:56Okay.
05:02Here we are.
05:04Oh!
05:06Oh my God.
05:06It's beautiful.
05:07Oh my goodness.
05:09Oh wow.
05:09Beautiful.
05:15Wow.
05:16I love these colors.
05:18I got you the colors.
05:19For real, you did.
05:21This is amazing.
05:22Hey, that's really cute.
05:22You're under an avocado tree.
05:25Whoa.
05:25Aguacate in Puerto Rico.
05:26Oh my God.
05:27You can see them.
05:28There's so many.
05:29On the top floor, you will have a one bedroom, one bath.
05:31And then you have a separate entrance.
05:33You will see that you can rent out part of the house.
05:37Such a cool thing that you are only two minute drive to the beach.
05:40This is it.
05:41This is the Caribbean.
05:43This is Puerto Rico.
05:44Exacto.
05:45So look at that.
05:47Wow.
05:47I love the space of this property.
05:49You have your own hot tub.
05:51So it's a small pool.
05:53It's a small pool.
05:54Ah.
05:54Here we go.
05:55How does that feel?
05:56Feels.
05:57This is nice.
05:59This is special.
06:01Unbeatable view.
06:02Might be nice at night.
06:03Are you ready to tour inside?
06:05Yes.
06:05Okay.
06:06Everywhere you look, there's trees.
06:08And all the color everywhere.
06:09I love it.
06:10Go and have some fun.
06:11All right.
06:12Okay.
06:12Let's see.
06:13Oh wow.
06:15Wow.
06:15This is so charming.
06:17I was worried it was just going to be like the bright purple.
06:20Like everywhere inside.
06:22But no.
06:22This feels so homey to me.
06:24It does.
06:24Yeah.
06:25Cute little bathroom.
06:26There's a lot of open windows.
06:28All the natural light is fantastic.
06:30I don't think I noticed an AC anywhere.
06:32Okay.
06:33So bedroom, right?
06:35A little small.
06:36A little little.
06:37I feel like it would only be a bed in here.
06:39If it was a king bed.
06:41Yeah.
06:41Yeah.
06:42Please God.
06:43If you're listening, a king bed would be amazing.
06:46We don't cuddle when we sleep.
06:48You're like, get too hot.
06:49I am a little bit of a princess.
06:51I do like having pillows all around me.
06:53Four pillows.
06:54So.
06:55Moving on.
06:56I think we've only seen one bedroom.
06:59Yeah.
06:59Those are downstairs.
07:00This goes out.
07:01And then maybe they're in the rental unit.
07:03It's gorgeous.
07:05Oh wow.
07:08Oh, interesting.
07:09Yeah.
07:10This feels like we're in a basement.
07:11Yeah.
07:11This is like really like low ceiling.
07:14This is like a seven foot ceiling.
07:15And we're just like right here in a bedroom.
07:17We're like, hello.
07:18Welcome to my bed.
07:19Okay.
07:20Music for you.
07:22I feel it.
07:23I remember like the first day that we finally kissed.
07:26And I was like, God, when is this going to happen already?
07:33Lots of tension.
07:34Yeah.
07:36Skinny little door.
07:37Can I even fit through here?
07:39It's very small.
07:39Oh wow.
07:40God, it's all so tiny and weird.
07:42Okay.
07:42Wait, what?
07:43So here.
07:44Bathroom, toilet.
07:45What is this?
07:46Oh.
07:47Okay.
07:48Okay.
07:49Is this the same house?
07:50Oh my God.
07:52Can't even step in without getting my head cut off.
07:54Okay, don't die.
07:55Not really quite what I was imagining.
07:57This is so weird.
08:00I don't-
08:01Is this the same house?
08:02Oh my God.
08:03Come on.
08:04I'm confused because the upstairs is so nice.
08:06And then I go downstairs.
08:07It kind of feels like we're entering into a dungeon.
08:10I really don't think we would even be able to rent this place out down here without a full remodel.
08:15Oh man.
08:16Holy crap.
08:17That's a king bed.
08:18That's a big bed.
08:18They made a king bed work here?
08:21This looks like we're in an RV and the bed just like fills the whole room.
08:24Totally feels camper vibes.
08:26I'm loving the spaces.
08:28There's stuff to work on on the inside, but we can probably fix some things and still have an amazing
08:34dream home here.
08:35Tell me all about it.
08:36I want to hear it.
08:37I love the outside, the color.
08:39It's amazing.
08:40I will say the downstairs was not what we were expecting.
08:44Okay.
08:44The guest bedroom shares a bathroom with a rental unit.
08:47How is that even going to be possible to rent out?
08:49Probably have to do some renovations.
08:51Okay.
08:51Hear me out.
08:52Those are easy fixes.
08:53So the things that you cannot change about the property, location, view, you have great outdoors.
09:00I would just really love to have a turnkey property.
09:02I mean, I really feel kind of like the opposite.
09:04The exteriors are so beautiful.
09:06The way it is on the upstairs, I love pretty much everything about it.
09:09And the price is low already.
09:11So that allows me to have a little bit of wiggle room on fixing things up, buying extra things that
09:15we need, like the ACs.
09:17I don't know.
09:18To me, remodels are kind of tough.
09:20Like I would, I'd really love to avoid it if I could.
09:29Decided to have some fun.
09:30Yes.
09:30Go dancing.
09:32Nice to have a fun place like this nearby where we might be living.
09:36I know.
09:36Now that we've left the church, we've really been rediscovering ourselves as a couple.
09:41The watermelon margarita.
09:43Okay.
09:43Yeah.
09:43Spicy please.
09:44Okay.
09:45You're kind of spicy.
09:46Correct.
09:46Even just to like dress sexy and dance sexy and make out wherever we want.
09:52It's been incredible.
10:01Okay, we're driving to Black Eagle.
10:04It's near the Marina in Rincón.
10:06It's a beautiful small town with stores, restaurants, vacation rentals.
10:11So a lot of things going on.
10:13This spectacular house checks all your boxes.
10:18Okay.
10:18Let me tell you that it's walking two minutes from the beach.
10:22Okay.
10:22You have ocean views is 998,000.
10:27A bit higher.
10:28It's a bit higher, but hear me out.
10:30Okay.
10:31It has been in the market for a while.
10:33I'm a great negotiator.
10:34Give me the chance.
10:35Okay.
10:37Wow.
10:37So close to the beach.
10:38Yeah, this is it.
10:39Cool.
10:39Cool.
10:41Wow.
10:42Whoa.
10:43Oh, my God.
10:44Isn't this amazing?
10:46Yeah.
10:46Yeah.
10:51I love this area.
10:52Like in the middle of the forest with a pool and the beach right in front.
10:55And I like how they do this.
10:56It feels like it's a backyard, but it's like you have this private amazing space.
11:00Beautiful pool.
11:01Isn't that amazing?
11:03Let's go and check it out.
11:04Feel free to walk around.
11:06Oh, wow.
11:06Okay.
11:07High ceiling.
11:08I can see why it's quite expensive.
11:10It's beautiful.
11:11My goodness.
11:12This tree growing out of the window looks so, so beautiful.
11:15That's gorgeous.
11:16Wow.
11:16Look at this kitchen.
11:17Oh, my God.
11:18Okay.
11:19Big fridge.
11:20This is so sexy.
11:22I love this counter.
11:25You love the...
11:25Look at all that space.
11:27I mean, there's so many reasons to have like this much counter space.
11:30Think of all the things I could make on this countertop.
11:34Oh.
11:35Interesting.
11:35Yeah.
11:36I like the...
11:38Puff pastry.
11:38Space here.
11:40He has the nicest lips on like planet Earth.
11:44At least I got to kiss other people as a Mormon.
11:46And I got to kiss enough people to know that these are the best set of lips on the planet.
11:53Cute little room.
11:54Oh, God.
11:55This is big.
11:56This looks like maybe it's the rental unit.
11:58Oh, yeah.
11:58It's like the kitchen.
12:00But it's a pretty small rental unit.
12:01And it is right next to the living room.
12:03So that's kind of interesting.
12:05Yeah.
12:05So I mean, if we're going to live here...
12:07They're going to like hear us.
12:09Right.
12:09We're not going to want to be on the couches a lot.
12:11Definitely like to see some more of like the bedrooms.
12:15Wow.
12:16Whoa.
12:17Okay.
12:17Did not expect this.
12:19The game room.
12:21This is cool.
12:22I actually love it.
12:24Wow.
12:24That's a lot.
12:25Wow.
12:26We can push all the beds together and make like an imperial size bed.
12:31This whole wall is just going to be beds.
12:33Yeah.
12:33There you go.
12:34And we'll jump around and we'll have a party every night.
12:36Yeah.
12:36Okay.
12:37This bathroom is big.
12:38It's spacious.
12:39That's for sure.
12:40I like...
12:41Oh, apparently we can both have our own showers.
12:44I mean, it's like kind of fun.
12:46And I can use the bathroom while still looking at you in the shower.
12:49Fantastic.
12:51Would you like some coffee after your shower now?
12:54So now that we've left this high demand religion,
12:57we are just completely reinventing ourselves and it feels incredible.
13:01I'd be okay watching you though.
13:03It's letting you know that in the shower.
13:06Oh, you wouldn't mind that?
13:07I wouldn't mind it.
13:08We little by little have been liberating ourselves.
13:11Like her going to the beach in a bikini, enjoying sex and not feeling bad about it.
13:16We are able to redefine ourselves.
13:19And it's been really an amazing process.
13:21Wow.
13:23Okay.
13:23I could live in this space.
13:25Oh my God.
13:27There's beach view.
13:29This could be our home.
13:31I mean, look at this.
13:32It would be amazing.
13:33Hey guys.
13:34I want to hear all about it.
13:36I mean, this home is really beautiful.
13:38It's just got so many of the things that we're looking for.
13:40Bathrooms were a little outdated.
13:42I'm okay with doing some fixer upper sort of things,
13:45but price point is going to need to be lower for me.
13:48It does have like everything that we're looking for.
13:50But it is over our budget quite a bit.
13:52I wish I didn't like this house so much.
13:55It is a little over our budget, but you can literally see the waves crashing into the sand.
13:59That's like a 30 second walk.
14:00There's something special about that.
14:02Or we can be a little bit more conservative and buy something that,
14:05you know, is lower in price, still checks all the boxes,
14:08and still will stay within budget.
14:10It has been in the market for a while.
14:11I'm sure that I can negotiate.
14:13And you still have the rental property that you can at least get a thousand dollars a month.
14:17That's true.
14:18I feel like we are in a little bit of like a pickle.
14:21We have a certain amount of money.
14:23What's the best way to make sure that we can survive,
14:26but also not make a mistake in what is going to be our dream home?
14:30It's a toss-up.
14:31I'm definitely feeling a little stressed.
14:39Oh.
14:39Wow.
14:41I don't know what I expected, but that's not what I expected.
14:43No.
14:43Like an alien fruit or something.
14:46Mmm.
14:47Wow.
14:48It's like sour candy.
14:50Our experience looking for homes in Puerto Rico up to this point has been incredible.
14:54Puerto Rico feels like a second honeymoon, even if it's looking for a home.
14:57Did we get that much food?
14:59Oh, yeah.
15:00The west side of Puerto Rico feels like exactly what we're looking for.
15:03Great food.
15:04We've been going on some adventures.
15:06We're here.
15:07This is it.
15:07We're moving here.
15:07This is it.
15:08I'm moving here for the food.
15:09I feel like a nice side benefit is how much we've been able to connect here.
15:14All right.
15:15Here we go.
15:17Oh, my God.
15:18This is healthy.
15:20So, guys, we're going to see Aguada.
15:23Aguada.
15:24Aguada is right next to Rincon.
15:27It's a beautiful small town with community living.
15:30So, it's very suburban.
15:32The interesting thing about Aguada, real estate is cheaper.
15:36It's up and coming, so there's value there.
15:38The house is a little bit further away from the beach.
15:41Okay.
15:42You have a rental unit.
15:44Hey.
15:44Wow.
15:44Okay.
15:45And it's renovated.
15:47It's turnkey.
15:47Oh, my God.
15:49And I know that was important for Hannah.
15:50So, the price is $765,000.
15:55Okay.
15:56All right.
15:57Are you guys ready to do this?
15:59Yes, we are.
16:00Here we are.
16:06Oh, ho.
16:08Ah.
16:10Look at this color, babe.
16:11Victor.
16:12Wow.
16:12I got you covered with the color in the house.
16:13You got me covered.
16:14So, great.
16:15Let's do this.
16:16Let's do it.
16:16All right.
16:18Please do come in.
16:19Have fun.
16:20Wow.
16:21Beautiful.
16:22Okay.
16:23Oh, I love these colors.
16:25They are bright.
16:26Yeah.
16:27It's a lot of yellow.
16:29Immediately, you're right there into the dining area.
16:31Here we are.
16:32Here's the kitchen.
16:33I like that it feels a little bit, like, updated or renovated, but it's small.
16:37I feel like if we're in here, we're going to be, like, bumping into each other,
16:40trying to get to the stove.
16:42And then you're just, like, boom.
16:43Right here.
16:44Right here.
16:44And then, boom, right here.
16:45Right there.
16:46So, it's small.
16:48Cute little bathroom.
16:49Actually, this is pretty nice.
16:50Oh, it's a full bathroom.
16:51It's so bright.
16:52Oh, my God.
16:55This is so nice.
16:56Look.
16:58Look what we have here.
16:59We have a king.
17:01We got a king bed.
17:02Oh, snap.
17:04I might dab on, too.
17:06Don't kill me.
17:07Okay, wait.
17:08Hold on.
17:09Cuddle, cuddle, cuddle, cuddle.
17:11Have a little bit of cuteness.
17:14And then we go to sleep.
17:16Okay.
17:17And you're going to be over there.
17:18As long as you're happy, right?
17:21Let's check out the rest of the room, yeah?
17:22Yeah.
17:23It's stunning.
17:23And there's an ensuite bathroom.
17:25Look at these windows.
17:26I know.
17:27We need to check this out.
17:28What is this over here?
17:30Straight to the giant pool?
17:31Holy crap.
17:36Roll out of bed.
17:37Go straight to the pool.
17:38This is incredible.
17:40There's like a little outdoor sectional.
17:43This is cool.
17:44What would you like to drink?
17:46A piña colada?
17:47Mm-hmm.
17:48With coconut rum?
17:49Yeah, it's coming right up.
17:50See, like, three different neighbor's yards here.
17:53There's their whole yard is right there.
17:56Yeah.
17:57Ay, ay, ay.
17:57Bummer.
17:58Well, okay.
17:59Looks like that's the entrance to the rental unit.
18:02Let's check it out.
18:03Yeah, okay.
18:03Yes.
18:04Oh, wow.
18:05Wow.
18:06This is just, like, ready to go.
18:08Turnkey.
18:09There's a kitchenette.
18:10There's a cute little bathroom.
18:12Oh, it's the bathroom.
18:13Everything that you need.
18:16Hey!
18:17There she is.
18:18Cuéntame.
18:19Immediately, I love the color on the inside.
18:21The outside, amazing.
18:23Can we acknowledge the number one thing you really, really want in the bedroom that is there?
18:27I love that there's a king bed there.
18:30It's got the bathroom right there.
18:32I really love the rental unit.
18:34It seemed just like perfect turnkey, ready to go.
18:36Yes.
18:37I will say, like, a couple of things I'm a little bummed about.
18:40The kitchen, living room, dining space.
18:43I like a little more open space, so that felt a little bit off.
18:46And the area, I'll say, okay, we're kind of looking and, like, oh, you can kind of see
18:50into the neighbor's yards and they can see right back at you.
18:53We're coming here trying to find our dream home.
18:55It feels like a little more of a weighty decision.
18:58It has to have the right amount of space, but the space has to make sense for us, too.
19:02I don't want to be wasting time or money on something that's not really our dream.
19:16Okay, if we have to narrow this down to two, what's one that we think that we can let go
19:21of?
19:21Definitely the beach house.
19:23I totally agree.
19:24Okay.
19:24I just think it's a little too big for us, and I think it's a little too much for us.
19:29A little too expensive, too, right?
19:30Exactly.
19:30All right, Purple Cottage.
19:32Let's hear it.
19:32That style is what we love already so much.
19:35The landscaping.
19:36There's so much land.
19:37We can make our gardens.
19:39We can have chickens if we want.
19:41I think every room had a great view looking at the beautiful ocean.
19:45Literally every room.
19:46Mm-hmm.
19:46I mean, I'm thinking having some ACs would be something that I would like.
19:49I feel like it's going to be really hot at this house.
19:52Yeah.
19:52That downstairs.
19:54Yeah.
19:54That was wild.
19:55Yeah.
19:56We're paying this large amount of money, $7.85.
19:58How would we make that work?
19:59Right.
20:00But that location is amazing.
20:03All right.
20:04The yellow house.
20:05It's super yellow.
20:06I love it.
20:07That's a pro for you, a con for me.
20:08Yes.
20:08Okay.
20:09It has an amazing outdoor space.
20:11We can have people over and make some friends.
20:13We can have fun little dinner parties.
20:15Yeah.
20:15Exactly.
20:15In the yard, it feels private, and then you kind of look up, and you can just see into three
20:20different people's yards.
20:21I feel like going swimming, maybe a little skinny dipping, and then you look up and you're like, whoa!
20:25Yeah.
20:25High neighbor, and high neighbor, and high neighbor.
20:28Like, all right there.
20:30After talking about all of it, I think we're on the same page.
20:33Yeah.
20:33Oh, we're definitely on the same page.
20:36Oh, oh.
20:38Puerto Rico.
20:40Here we come, yeah.
20:42Puerto Rico.
20:48We chose the yellow house.
20:50The yellow house.
20:51Your perfect way of making a bed.
20:53I love how you make a bed.
20:54I feel like this house has, like, literally everything we wanted.
20:56Alexandra really came through for us.
20:58We're super happy.
20:59We're spending so much time out here by the pool, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the
21:04king bed.
21:04We've gotten plenty of use out of that as well.
21:08We did give up being right next to the beach, but it turns out it's actually not that far at
21:13all.
21:13We were a little worried about neighbors before, but we moved in, and one of our neighbors actually came by
21:18and greeted us.
21:19That was really, really nice.
21:20Every single place that we've gone, it just all feels sexy.
21:23I mean, everyone's just dancing, happy.
21:25It's like in the culture to just be happy.
21:27It felt like we've just been able to, like, figure out this whole new side of ourselves.
21:31...
