Thank you Dianne. 😊👍

I loved the 3rd property, it was picturesque and beautiful. Their only complaint was the location, they didn't want to be at the center of everything. For me, I consider that an additional selling point of that house. I noticed the kitchen was small but it was open so will do that. Outdoor living at its best in this house.

I'm going to be heading down to Mexico on the 20th sometime that week I'm going to be flying in the Guadalajara be nice to meet you. I plan to live there when I retire John

I was there about 2 years ago. Most of the land surrounding Ajjijic i was told was unstable or shifting and the housing costs artificially inflated from all the expats. The lake is becoming less polluted but not sure i would swim in it.. There are much better places in Mexico.

U r probably right Mike. I lived in Guadalajara for 12 years and know that to be true 👍. Expats and snowbirds are keeping prices up on lake Chapala. And those people looking for homes around 1 million dollars. What did those people do in Texas? I mean I am presently in Texas and no one earns that kind of money. Maybe they won the lottery 🤔 who knows 🤷...lol. And please don't attempt to swim in the lake anyone. There r crocodiles in it. But costs are definitely artificially inflated there. The inflation and the recession after that will probably dry all $$$$ coming to the area. And why would only 2 people need such a huge place ?

The houses are just as expensive as in the states!

Nice Video! Tips that would have helped us out: We never learned the asking prices of any of the properties. We would have liked to hear the couples comments when THEY WERE IN THE HOME, so we could keep each one straight. As it was, we got most of what they were saying, but about half of it we couldn't figure out which property they were talking about. That last house, with the pillars around the deck, did we even get to see any of the inside of it? Seems some of the other houses were limited on what you showed us. We also never heard how many sq. ft. they were, of actual inside space. We understand most places add the covered patio space, so inside is essential. And, we didn't learn how large the lot size was. This is very important to us because many houses seem to be on postage stamp sized lots. For us, that wouldn't do at all. Otherwise, a very nicely done video.

I wonder if it’s a better investment to have the 500,000 in stocks which is probably increasing 15 to 20% a year rather than tie it all up in a property , especially when the Peso to Dollar valuation is just dropping each year. You can always Airbnb with some great deals when you travel and then you’re not tied down to one place you can travel in many different places. Yes if you’re going to live there year-round it does make sense just on a place to do what you want with it and be happy.

Get a lawyer before you do anything. Mexico laws can be tricky and confusing you need backup of professional help that knows the ropes 😳

I'd also recommend that you work with a reputable real estate company. Always, ask around for recommendations who to work with. As a professional real agent, I always recommend my clients a meeting with the notaries, mexican lawyers that specialize in mexican real estate law. This is for important questions regarding recent changes in the law, permits to buy real for foreigners and capital gain tax advice when selling among other topics. A reptable notary is essential when doing real estate deals. My team consists of real estate professionals, notaries, accountants, immigration lawyers, architects, contractors in all aspects of building and renovating. When you work with a good team of professionals it makes the whole process of buying and selling real estate as smooth a possible. Thanks for your comment! Cheers Rich Cheers Rich

Your absolutely right Grant. I myself live in Vallarta and so if anyone one tells you that you can own a house or land here in Mexico and are not a citizen they are lying to you. YOU HAVE TO BE A CITIZEN so you can own the deed. There are so many scams and if you fall for them then there's nothing you can do about it.

I am retired and have a lovely home on an acre of land in Arizona. Would never move to Mexico.

House Hunting in Mexico. This is a joke..me and my wife try to buy vacation home there..but very bad experience..considering this is country full of corruption and burocracy..very nasty experience..my wife is Mexican citizen..just in case.. But is your own decision..nothing again mexico is only the system..pretty bad and complicated. MEXICO IS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY!!

I dont think USA citizens should not own properties in Mexico due to historical issues in the past. When Mexico had Texas and wanted people to immigrate to Texas Anglos took over Mexico. There is an issue with this that if an Anglo dies, or gets untrouble for not understanding Mexican customs USA citizens complain for a pro invasion. This is known still today with the Anglo family Lebaron in the state of Sonora. If Anglos dont like something about Mexico they always propose a military solution for Mexico. Your from the UK I dont know how you got the ability to sell houses this is the issues of corruption a foreigner having a job that should not have it in the first place. This is an issue as Mexicans we will take to our former Mexican govt. If people want to be in Mexico they are going to have to prove their Mexican nationality.
