And another couple of BIG points I share with everyone thinking about moving to Mexico…

Rent BEFORE buying. What seems like paradise on vacation may convert into hell when you are living there everyday. Take some time renting in an area you are considering to gauge how good of a fit it really is.

The internet offers you LOTS of properties for sale and rent to look at but there is nothing better than investing a week to personally check out the areas you looking at. And if you are renting, many rentals don’t go through agents and don’t advertise online, you may see a SE RENTA sign on a window or even find out about a property for rent from a corner tacos stand or local resident you stop to ask for directions.
