Planning my move, and this was easily the most helpful video I've seen thus far.

Wow! Been watching many, many videos about moving to Mexico and this one is extremely informative with respect to the rental process. Thank you for covering so much useful information! Your videos are great!

Thanks Sergio! Are you part of our newsletter? mexicorelocationguide.com/newsletter/

Another thing that should be taken into consideration particularly in communities where land values are escalating, for instance beach side communities and those popular with foreigners, is, 'Is the property currently part of a court action to determine ownership?' Although the court process is not your business (and please don't get involved) it can bring about unwanted changes and a lot of drama to you even as a renter. Mariana you are so very right when you advise to engage with a reputable agent. They will know which properties are in ownership dispute and will avoid them.

Thanks for a great video. That was the most informative video on the subject that I have watched. Your channel should be growing very fast since you provide such great information and present it so well.

Hey Bob! Thanks so much for watching

Great information! As you stated, we found out that we only had hot water in the shower after we moved in. We’ve adapted, but obviously we will ask beforehand next time. Muchas gracias!

❤ Thank you for such important reminders of not taking anything for granted in another country. One needs to ask questions.

Great list. Super helpful; thank you. Most foreigners wouldnt know to ask about these things.

We learned some of these things after we moved in. Like one of our toilets quit working shortly after we moved in and our landlord said we had to pay to fix it because it was normal wear and tear! Plus not all our windows have screens on them so we can’t leave them open at night due to misquotes and she said that is a want not a necessity 😮 do we are learning some lessons. Thank you for this great video!!!

Great video Mariana. Super, super informative. One thing not mentioned, if one uses the services of a rental agent who pays for their services? Are they on salary? If not, does the landlord pay their commission, or does the renter pay their commission? And if it's the renter that pays, then what is that cost? And how does it work if purchasing, who pays the commission? Thanks so much.

Sometimes you may move in and discover the stove or refrigerator is missing. What happened? More likely than not, the appliance that came with the rental broke and the landlord refused to pay for a replacement. So when the prior renter moved out, they just took what was theirs or sold it off.

That’s why it’s important to agree that you’ll do inventory within 7 days of moving in to ensure this doesn’t happen

What agents site you have to look for rental

@MexicoRelocationGuide

2 жыл бұрын

we recommend a few things: Visiting the area and finding the neighborhoods you like best, then looking for signs that say "se renta". However, I would highly recommend at least having someone who speaks good Spanish help you out. At the very least make sure your contract is in English if you don't speak Spanish. Don't sign anything you don't understand. But if you're not physically in Mexico and want to do some research I recommend Facebook Marketplace Propiedades.com or one of the various FB groups that posts rentals

Do you have any website recommendations to look for rentals?

Whats the best way to find a fully furnished 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment in Mazatlan? ( 3month rental walking distance from the beach, malecon, and grocery store as I will not be bringing a car) ( in the 8000 to 11000 pesos range) I have Mexican friends living in San Luis Potosi.

If you’re looking for a 3 month rental the best option is to go through Airbnb

Would it be easier to air b n b if 6 months or less . I thin k for long term air bnb u should be able to get a better rate. Don't air bnb include everything and then no rental extra fee forgot name of it (fiador) equal to a months rent and then 1st and last rent . Renting seems like you could easily have more fees than expecting.

Renting will just give you more flexible on the type of places. Because Airbnb might have a limited amount. But yes Airbnb is a great option
