Seriously. Check out some of the real estate listings on this site: http://www.intertica.com/ . There are some amazing properties available in the Central Valley area, as well as the coasts.

I was looking at Mexico and found cheap properties. I guess the worry about unstable governments is long gone now that we have our own.
