00:00Oh, kind of scary.
00:01We came to Puerto Rico on our honeymoon,
00:03and we just, like, completely fell in love with it.
00:05Oh, my God.
00:06Holy crap.
00:07Wow.
00:08We both speak a little bit of Spanish.
00:10I loved salsa dance.
00:12It was so fun creating all of these memories.
00:16So now we're coming here trying to find our dream home,
00:20the place where we can find this, like, beautiful, sexy life
00:23that we have been seeking after for a long time now.
00:26I feel so relaxed, waterfall, the energy.
00:27I felt like falling in love again with my wife, honestly.
00:30I want this every day.
00:51We can go everywhere.
00:54We can go everywhere.
00:57We can go everywhere.
01:00Victor and I met for the very first time at the Mormon church.
01:04He sat right behind me in Sunday school.
01:05And I was like, oh, my God.
01:08And basically, we hung out every day until we got married.
01:12Is that really you?
01:13Alexandra, hey!
01:14Oh, my God, yes!
01:16It's so nice to see you.
01:18As we left the church, Utah is really not the best fit for us anymore.
01:23We just have too many ties there and too many things keeping us into that old version of who we
01:27were.
01:28Looking for a home, I think it really does have to fit this whole reinvention of ourselves.
01:33So, this is Rincón.
01:35I know that you mentioned also being curious about Aguada.
01:38Yes.
01:38I'm going to see Aguada as well.
01:41I started in the business 11 years ago in real estate.
01:44My family from the west side, we used to have a beach house right next to Rincón.
01:49And I remember every single weekend coming by and having fun with my cousins.
01:53I love the west side, and it's part of my heart.
01:56We have several beaches.
01:58Rincón is a surf town.
02:00Right.
02:01The type of people that come to Rincón are, like, free spirit, people with intention of living.
02:06You'll see the homes, like, surrounded by nature or surrounded by beaches.
02:10You know how they say that when you're surrounded by nature, your mood changes?
02:14So, imagine that 100% of the time.
02:16Now that we're, like, seeing more, it's, like, making us realize, like, what we really like.
02:19And we definitely want to be close to the beach.
02:21Three bedrooms still?
02:22Three bedrooms ideal for us.
02:24Like, two bathrooms, right?
02:26Yeah, I think at least two would be great.
02:27It would be fantastic to get a property that has some, like, rental units attached to it so we can
02:32offset the mortgage renting out those units.
02:34Okay.
02:35It would be really amazing to have a place that has some rental units.
02:38I work in clinical research.
02:39Hannah is a midwife.
02:40But all of our savings are going into this.
02:42We need to start generating income so that we can survive.
02:46I know Hannah really wants to have a pool.
02:48A primary room that has a king bed?
02:50I really want a king bed.
02:51Because, you know, we're looking for furniture so that we don't have to buy a bunch of furniture.
02:55I'm sure that I'm going to help you with this.
02:57Any other thing that you think that I should know?
03:00Turnkey would be very nice.
03:01We're not necessarily, I mean, turnkey would be nice.
03:04Yes.
03:04But if there's things that are fixer-uppers that need some work, you know, it'll help us reduce price.
03:09So tell me, the budget is still $850?
03:12Yes, $850 is kind of, is our max.
03:14However, if we find something we really, really just fall in love with, maybe we have a little bit of
03:19wiggle room.
03:19But we'd love to be below the budget if possible, you know, within that range.
03:23I'm thinking more about saving money, getting a fixer-upper would be fine for me.
03:29We have lived in a lot of fixer-uppers, and I am so ready to just walk in and settle
03:34down.
03:35Give me one huepa here.
03:37Let's go.
03:38Huepa!
03:39Let's go!
03:40All right.
03:51We are headed to a very cool area, a place called Puntas, that is a neighborhood where there are just
03:58very luxurious properties, like mansions.
04:01So I sold this house, and it was at 3.6.
04:05Woo!
04:06I just want to explain the price one so you see the value on the property that I'm going to
04:11be taking you that is in Puntas as well, and is a $785,000 listing.
04:17So you're exposed to properties right next door that were sold over $3 million.
04:22Exciting!
04:23Okay.
04:29Here we are!
04:31Oh!
04:32Oh my God!
04:33It's beautiful.
04:34Oh my goodness.
04:34Oh, wow.
04:35Beautiful.
04:41Wow.
04:42I love these colors.
04:44I got you the colors.
04:45For real, you did.
04:46This is amazing.
04:48Hey, that's really cute.
04:48You're under an avocado tree.
04:50Whoa!
04:51Oh my God, you can see them.
04:53There's so many.
04:54On the top floor, you will have a one bedroom, one bath, and then you will have a separate entrance.
04:59You will see that you can rent out part of the house.
05:02It's such a cool thing that you are only two minute drive to the beach.
05:05This is it.
05:06This is the Caribbean.
05:07This is Puerto Rico.
05:09Exacto.
05:10So look at that.
05:11Wow.
05:12I love this space for this property.
05:14You have your own hot tub.
05:16So it's a small pool.
05:17It's a small pool.
05:18Ah, here we go.
05:19How does that feel?
05:21Feels...
05:21This is nice.
05:23This is special.
05:25Unbeatable view.
05:26That'd be nice at night.
05:27Are you ready to tour inside?
05:29Yes.
05:29Okay.
05:30Oh, everywhere you look, there's trees.
05:31And all the color everywhere.
05:32I love it.
05:34Go and have some fun.
05:35All right, let's see.
05:37Oh, wow.
05:38Wow.
05:38This is so charming.
05:41I was worried it was just going to be like the bright purple like everywhere inside, but
05:45no.
05:45This feels so homey to me.
05:47It does.
05:47Cute little bathroom.
05:49There's a lot of open windows.
05:50All the natural light is fantastic.
05:52I don't think I noticed an AC anywhere.
05:55Okay, so bedroom, right?
05:57A little small.
05:58A little little.
05:59I feel like it would only be a bed in here if it was a king bed.
06:03Yeah.
06:04Please, God, if you're listening, a king bed would be amazing.
06:08We don't cuddle when we sleep.
06:09We, like, get too hot.
06:11I am a little bit of a princess.
06:12I do like having pillows all around me.
06:14Four pillows.
06:15So.
06:16Moving on.
06:17I think we've only seen one bedroom.
06:20Yeah.
06:20Those are downstairs.
06:21This goes out.
06:22And then maybe they're in the rental unit.
06:24It's gorgeous.
06:26Oh, wow.
06:29Oh, interesting.
06:30Yeah, this feels like we're in a basement.
06:32Yeah, this is, like, really, like, low ceiling.
06:35And we're just, like, right here in a bedroom.
06:37We're like, hello, welcome to my bed.
06:39Okay.
06:40Music for you.
06:42I feel it.
06:43I remember, like, the first day that we finally kissed.
06:46And I was like, God, when is this going to happen already?
06:52Lots of tension.
06:54Yeah.
06:55Skinny little door.
06:57Can I even fit through here?
06:58It's very small.
06:58Oh, wow.
06:59But it's all so tiny and weird.
07:01Okay.
07:01Wait, what?
07:02So here, bathroom, toilet.
07:04What is this?
07:05Oh.
07:06Okay.
07:07Okay.
07:07Is this the same house?
07:09Oh, my God.
07:10Can't even step in without getting my head cut off.
07:13Okay, don't die.
07:13Not really quite what I was imagining.
07:15This is so weird.
07:19Is this the same house?
07:20Oh, my God.
07:22I'm confused because the upstairs is so nice.
07:24And then I go downstairs.
07:25It kind of feels like we're entering into a dungeon.
07:28I really don't think we would even be able to rent this place out down here without a full remodel.
07:32Oh, man.
07:33Holy crap.
07:35That's a king bed.
07:35That's a big bed.
07:36They made a king bed work here?
07:38This looks like we're in an RV and the bed just fills the whole room.
07:41Totally feels camper vibes.
07:43I'm loving the spaces.
07:45There's stuff to work on on the inside, but we can probably fix some things and still have an amazing
07:50dream home here.
07:51Tell me all about it.
07:53I want to hear it.
07:54I love the outside.
07:55The color.
07:55It's amazing.
07:56I will say the downstairs was not what we were expecting.
08:00Okay.
08:00The guest bedroom shares a bathroom with a rental unit.
08:03How is that even going to be possible to rent out?
08:05Probably have to do some renovations.
08:07Hear me out.
08:08Those are easy fixes.
08:09So the things that you cannot change about the property, location, view.
08:13You have great outdoors.
08:15I would just really love to have a turnkey property.
08:17I mean, I really feel kind of like the opposite.
08:19The exteriors are so beautiful.
08:21The way it is on the upstairs, I love pretty much everything about it.
08:24And the price is low already, so that allows me to have a little bit of wiggle room on fixing
08:28things up,
08:29buying extra things that we need, like the ACs.
08:32I don't know.
08:32To me, remodels are kind of tough.
08:34Like, I would really love to avoid it if I could.
08:43Excited to have some fun.
08:44Yes.
08:44Go dancing.
08:46Nice to have a fun place like this nearby where we might be living.
08:49I know.
08:50Now that we've left the church, we've really been rediscovering ourselves as a couple.
08:54The watermelon margarita.
08:56Okay.
08:56Yeah.
08:57Spicy please.
08:57Okay.
08:58You're kind of spicy.
08:59Correct.
09:00So.
09:00Even just to, like, dress sexy and dance sexy and make out wherever we want.
09:05It's been incredible.
09:13Okay, we're driving to Black Eagle.
09:17It's near the Marina in Rincón.
09:18It's a beautiful small town with stores, restaurants, vacation rentals, so a lot of things going on.
09:25This spectacular house checks all your boxes.
09:29Okay.
09:30Let me tell you that it's walking two minutes from the beach.
09:33Okay.
09:34Wow.
09:34You have ocean views is 998,000.
09:38A bit higher.
09:39It's a bit higher, but hear me out.
09:41Okay.
09:41It has been in the market for a while.
09:43I'm a great negotiator.
09:45Give me the chance.
09:46Okay.
09:46Okay.
09:47Wow.
09:48So close to the beach.
09:49Yeah, this is it.
09:50That's cool.
09:51Wow.
09:52Whoa.
09:54Oh, my God.
09:55Isn't this amazing?
09:56Yeah.
10:01I love this area.
10:02Like in the middle of the forest with a pool and the beach right in front.
10:05And I like how they do this.
10:06It feels like it's a backyard, but it's like you have this private, amazing space.
10:10Beautiful pool.
10:11Isn't that amazing?
10:13Let's go and check it out.
10:14Feel free to walk around.
10:16Okay.
10:16High ceilings.
10:17I can see why it's quite expensive.
10:19It's beautiful.
10:20My goodness, this tree growing out of the window.
10:22Wow.
10:23That's so, so beautiful.
10:24Okay, that's gorgeous.
10:24Wow.
10:25Look at this kitchen.
10:26Oh, my God.
10:27Okay.
10:28Big fridge.
10:29This is so sexy.
10:30I love this counter.
10:33You love the...
10:34Look at all that space.
10:35I mean, there's so many reasons to have like this much counter space.
10:39Think of all the things I could make on this countertop.
10:42Oh.
10:42Mm-hmm.
10:43Interesting.
10:43Yeah.
10:44I like the space here.
10:47Puff pastry.
10:48He has the nicest lips on like planet Earth.
10:51At least I got to kiss other people as a Mormon.
10:53And I got to kiss enough people to know that these are the best set of lips on the planet.
11:00Cute little room.
11:01Oh, God.
11:02This is big.
11:03This looks like maybe it's the rental unit.
11:05Oh, yeah.
11:05It's like the kitchen.
11:06But it is a pretty small rental unit and it is right next to the living room.
11:10So that's kind of interesting.
11:11So, I mean, if we're going to live here.
11:13They're going to like hear us.
11:15Right.
11:15We're not going to want to be on the couches a lot.
11:18Definitely like to see some more of like the bedrooms.
11:21Wow.
11:22Oh, okay.
11:23Did not expect this.
11:25The game room.
11:26This is cool.
11:27I actually love it.
11:29Wow.
11:30That's a lot.
11:31Wow.
11:31Okay.
11:31We can push all the beds together and make like a imperial size bed.
11:36It'll be just, this whole wall is just going to be beds.
11:38Yeah.
11:38There you go.
11:39And we'll jump around and we'll have a party every night.
11:41Yeah.
11:41Okay.
11:42This bathroom is big.
11:43It's spacious.
11:44That's for sure.
11:45I like.
11:46Oh, apparently we can both have our own showers.
11:49I mean, it's like kind of fun.
11:51And I can use the bathroom while still looking at you in the shower.
11:54Fantastic.
11:55Would you like some coffee after your shower now?
11:58So now that we've left this high demand religion, we are just completely reinventing ourselves.
12:03And it feels incredible.
12:05I'd be okay watching you though.
12:07Just letting you know that.
12:08In the shower.
12:09Oh, you wouldn't mind that?
12:10I wouldn't mind it.
12:11We little by little have been liberating ourselves.
12:15Like her going to the beach in a bikini, enjoying sex and not feeling bad about it.
12:19We are able to redefine ourselves.
12:22And it's been really an amazing process.
12:24Wow.
12:26Okay.
12:26I could live in this space.
12:28Oh my God.
12:30There's beach view.
12:32This could be our home.
12:33I mean, look at this.
12:34It would be amazing.
12:36Hey guys.
12:36I want to hear all about it.
12:38I mean, this home is really beautiful.
12:40It's just got so many of the things that we're looking for.
12:42Bathrooms were a little outdated.
12:44I'm okay with doing some fixer-upper sort of things, but price point's going to need to
12:48be lower for me.
12:49But it does have like everything that we're looking for.
12:52But it is over our budget quite a bit.
12:54I wish I didn't like this house so much.
12:56It is a little over our budget, but you can literally see the waves crashing into the
12:59sand.
13:00It's like a 30-second walk.
13:01There's something special about that.
13:03Or we can be a little bit more conservative and buy something that, you know, is lower
13:07in price, still checks all the boxes, and still will stay within budget.
13:10It has been in the market for a while.
13:12I'm sure that I can negotiate.
13:14And you still have the rental property that you can at least get $1,000 a month.
13:17That's true.
13:18I feel like we are in a little bit of like a pickle.
13:21We have a certain amount of money.
13:23What's the best way to make sure that we can survive, but also not make a mistake in
13:28what is going to be our dream home?
13:29It's a toss-up.
13:30I'm definitely feeling a little stressed.
13:38Wow.
13:40I don't know what I expected, but that's not what I expected.
13:42Like an alien fruit or something.
13:45Hmm.
13:46Wow.
13:47It's like sour candy.
13:49Our experience looking for homes in Puerto Rico up to this point has been incredible.
13:52Puerto Rico feels like a second honeymoon, even if it's looking for a home.
13:56Did we get that much food?
13:57Oh, yeah.
13:58The west side of Puerto Rico feels like exactly what we're looking for.
14:02Great food.
14:02We've been going on some adventures.
14:04We're here.
14:04This is it.
14:05We're moving here.
14:05This is it.
14:06I'm moving here for the food.
14:07I feel like a nice side benefit is how much we've been able to connect here.
14:11All right.
14:13Here we go.
14:15This is healthy.
14:18So, guys, we're going to see Aguada.
14:20Aguada.
14:21Aguada is right next to Rincón.
14:24It's a beautiful small town with community living, so it's very suburban.
14:29The interesting thing about Aguada, real estate is cheaper.
14:32It's up and coming, so there's value there.
14:34The house is a little bit further away from the beach.
14:38Okay.
14:38You have a rental unit.
14:40Hey.
14:40Wow.
14:40Okay.
14:41And it's renovated.
14:43It's turnkey.
14:43Oh, my God.
14:44And I know that was important for Hannah, so the price is $765,000.
14:51Okay.
14:52All right.
14:53Are you guys ready to do this?
14:54Yes, we are.
14:55Here we are.
15:03Oh, look at this color, babe.
15:06Well, Victor, I got you covered with the color in the house.
15:08You got me covered.
15:09So great.
15:10Let's do this.
15:10Let's do it.
15:11All right.
15:12Please do come in.
15:13Have fun.
15:15Wow.
15:16Beautiful.
15:17Oh, I love these colors.
15:19They are bright.
15:20Yeah.
15:21It's a lot of yellow.
15:23Immediately, you're right there into the dining area.
15:25Here we are.
15:26Here's the kitchen.
15:27I like that it feels a little bit, like, updated or renovated, but it's small.
15:31I feel like if we're in here, we're going to be, like, bumping into each other trying to get to
15:34the stove.
15:35And then you're just, like, boom, right here.
15:37And then, boom, right here.
15:39Right there.
15:39So, it's small.
15:41Cute little bathroom.
15:42Actually, this is pretty nice.
15:43Oh, it's a full bathroom.
15:44It's so bright.
15:45Oh, my God.
15:48This is so nice.
15:49Look.
15:50Look what we have here.
15:52We have a king.
15:53We got a king bed.
15:55Oh, snap.
15:56Okay.
15:56I might dive on, too.
15:58Don't kill me.
15:59Okay, wait.
16:00Hold on.
16:01Cuddle, cuddle, cuddle, cuddle.
16:03Have a little bit of cuteness.
16:06And then we go to sleep.
16:08Okay.
16:08And you're going to be over there.
16:10As long as you're happy, right?
16:12Let's check out the rest of the room, yeah?
16:14Yeah.
16:14It's stunning.
16:14And there's an en suite bathroom.
16:16Look at these windows.
16:17I know.
16:18We need to check this out.
16:20What is this over here?
16:20Straight to the giant pool?
16:22Holy crap.
16:27Roll out of bed.
16:28Go straight to the pool.
16:29This is incredible.
16:31There's, like, a little outdoor sectional.
16:34This is cool.
16:35What would you like to drink?
16:36A piña colada?
16:37Mm-hmm-hmm.
16:38With coconut rum?
16:39Yeah, it's coming right up.
16:40Got you.
16:41You see, like, three different neighbor's yards here.
16:43There's their whole yard is right there.
16:46Yeah.
16:47Ay, ay, ay.
16:47Bummer.
16:48Okay.
16:49Looks like that's the entrance to the rental unit.
16:51Let's check it out.
16:52Yeah.
16:52Okay.
16:53Yes.
16:53Oh, wow.
16:54Wow.
16:55This is just, like, ready to go.
16:57Turn key.
16:58There's a kitchenette.
16:59There's a cute little bathroom.
17:01Oh, I like the bathroom.
17:02Everything that you need.
17:05Hey.
17:06There she is.
17:07Puente me.
17:07Immediately, I love the color on the inside.
17:10The outside, amazing.
17:11Can we acknowledge the number one thing you really, really want in the bedroom that is there?
17:15I love that there's a king bed there.
17:18It's got the bathroom right there.
17:20I really love the rental unit.
17:21It seemed just, like, perfect turnkey, ready to go.
17:24Yes.
17:25I will say, like, a couple of things I'm a little bummed about.
17:28The kitchen, living room, dining space.
17:30I like a little more open space, so that felt a little bit off.
17:34And the area, I'll say, okay, we're kind of looking and, like, oh, you can kind of see into the
17:38neighbor's yards, and they can see right back at you.
17:40We're coming here trying to find our dream home.
17:42It feels like a little more of a weighty decision.
17:45It has to have the right amount of space, but the space has to make sense for us, too.
17:49I don't want to be wasting time or money on something that's not really our dream.
18:03Okay, if we have to narrow this down to two, what's one that we think that we can let go
18:06of?
18:07Definitely the beach house.
18:08I totally agree.
18:09I just think it's a little too big for us, and I think it's a little too much for us.
18:14A little too expensive, too, right?
18:15Exactly.
18:16All right, Purple Cottage.
18:17Let's hear it.
18:17That style is what we love already so much.
18:20The landscaping.
18:21There's so much land.
18:22We can make our gardens.
18:24We can have chickens if we want.
18:26I think every room had a great view looking at the beautiful ocean.
18:30I mean, I'm thinking having some ACs would be something that I would like.
18:34I feel like it's going to be really hot at this house.
18:36Yeah, that downstairs.
18:38Yeah.
18:39That was wild.
18:39Yeah.
18:40We're paying this large amount of money, $7.85.
18:42How would we make that work?
18:43Right.
18:44But that location is amazing.
18:47All right, the yellow house.
18:49It's super yellow.
18:50I love it.
18:50That's a pro for you, a con for me.
18:52Okay.
18:52It has an amazing outdoor space.
18:54We can have people over and make some friends.
18:57We can have fun little dinner parties.
18:58Exactly.
18:59In the yard, it feels private, and then you kind of look up,
19:02and you can just see into three different people's yards.
19:04Going swimming, maybe a little skinny dipping,
19:07and then you look up, you're like, whoa.
19:08Hi, neighbor, and hi, neighbor, and hi, neighbor.
19:10Like, all right there.
19:12Yes.
19:12After talking about all of it, I think we're on the same page.
19:15Oh, we're definitely on the same page.
19:18Oh, oh.
19:20Puerto Rico.
19:22Here we come, yeah.
19:24Puerto Rico.
19:29We chose the yellow house.
19:32Your perfect way of making a bed.
19:34I love how you make a bed.
19:35I feel like this house has, like, literally everything we wanted.
19:38Alexandra really came through for us.
19:39We're super happy.
19:40We're spending so much time out here by the pool,
19:42and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the king bed.
19:45We've gotten plenty of use out of that as well.
19:49We did give up being right next to the beach,
19:51but it turns out it's actually not that far at all.
19:54We were a little worried about neighbors before,
19:56but we moved in,
19:57and one of our neighbors actually came by and greeted us.
19:59That was really, really nice.
20:00Every single place that we've gone,
20:01it just all feels sexy.
20:03I mean, everyone's just dancing, happy.
20:05It's, like, in the culture to just be happy.
20:07It felt like we've just been able to, like,
20:09figure out this whole new side of ourselves.
