Love your channel. Curious - how expensive or cheap is to to hire domestic help?

Hello Alex, what I have learned after living in Mexico over a year is that LAND IS EXPENSIVE! but building a house is not as much so. Of course that depends on what type of house they want to build. Maybe you can do a video on buying land. Thanks

Your fellow KZreadr friends Tangerine Travels mentioned that they can sell their furniture it if they moved. So that’s an option too!

Thanks for watching, Lainey! Putting your own stuff up on Facebook Marketplace is always an option! I've also seen my fair share of sidewalk sales in the centro.

My boyfriend and I just move to Queretaro 3 weeks ago, from the north of Mex. After a crazy hunt and seeing almost 20 places, we were very lucky to find a furnished apartment right in the center. The landlady was very kind and gave us an excellent price the only condition was to pay the year in advance which we thought was a pretty good deal. Anyway, your videos help as well Mexicans wanting to move here. Great channel!!

That place in central looks like it should go for above 20k nowadays based on my recent rental search. Ended up getting a 2 bedroom apartment for 18k near parque 2000. Excited for my future life in qro.

Hi! I've been watching many of your videos and they have been super helpful so far. We actually just switched our eye from Guadalajara to Queretaro. If it possible to move your furniture from the US to Mexico? Do you know any moving companies that do that? We'd love some advice as my partner and I both have our own furniture and don't want to spend a lot on new furniture.

Hi Alex, right so I'm terrified of renting unfurnished😳😳😳I'm travelling with my elderly parents so their comfort comes first for me and rent works out furnished to 1200 USD for a nearly 3000 sqft house, which tbf its what I paid for a studio flat in London. But I agree with you about making a space your own so eventually I would like my own stuff. I thought about slowly buying items during my lease and then once I have the basics, rent a unfurnished house. So I will defo follow your tips. Thanks again.

Some of the furnished homes are still pretty sparse so you will likely have an opportunity to personalize and make it to your liking! I am so excited for you regarding your big plans to move to Mexico!

Good advice however!!! There are stores that will not deliver to anything past the first floor…had this situation with a major department store in a small beach town in Mexico…no truck rental options had to go to a large town to shop and they did deliver but I had to wait 2 weeks for the next scheduled time

Hi Alex....we live in Playa del Carmen but recently visited Qro as a place to move after this. We are in love with it, so I’m starting the plan for when our lease is up. My question is a little different. We completely furnished an entire place here and now we are faced with 3 options...none of which thrill me. 1-Sell everything we can’t take on a plane and repurchase there. 2-Find movers UGH 3- sell everything and find furnished. We plan to be outside Centro (el refugio, zibata, zakia) PS we met your friends from the ladies night out video at dinner with new friends at Fishers 😊

Do you have any apartment your videos of your apartment? I am super interested in moving to Mexico and have been looking at what places look like there!

Do you know anywhere in Mexico I can get a saliva PCR test before travelling to the United States please?

Hi Emma, I'm not sure about a saliva test...all the tests I've gotten in Mexico are the nasal swabs. You can get a rapid antigen test that way at many of the pharmacies (in Queretaro, I went to Optomed Diagnostics). This test is sufficient for re-entering the US! You can also get one at the airport in Mexico City.

We are coming in October to seek out a place to live. Do you think we will miss out by that time due to the influx of people coming in? We are so nervous about that 😳😥

Is it not also possible, when renting outside the city center where the market isn't quite so competitive, to inquire with.the landlord about providing some furniture?
