    To answer people who asked the following questions: Location = Temezon Norte, Merida Lots Available = 10 (180 lots already purchased in total) Monthly HOA = $97 (includes garbage, water and use of all amenities - gym, large community pool, kids park, community center ) Monthly Electric average $150 per month Gas tank refill = $60 which last 6 months There is no recycling of waste in Merida New MG SUV basic model =$20,000 Gasoline = $5 per gallon Car Insurance = $600 annually Home Owners insurance = $2,000 annually Rentals are widely available and there are agents you work through as a foreigner. We paid $700 a month for a two bedroom home before we purchased this home. Feel free to ask me more question in this comment thread. Dave

    $150 dollars per month on electricity seems a little higher for Merida. At the Mexican border with US they pay $120 for two months. Car insurance $600 dollars per year? Home insurance $2000 dollars per year?

My budget is half there’s, but their house is way more than I need. This gives me hope that I can find something I”ll love in my budget. Keep doing what you do Jose.

    Nice video Jose! I'm also from California now living in Mexico City perfect weather for me! , in LA for 40 years also, grew up in the midwest and fled to CA, the way things are going in LA it is time to bail out! The costs have gotten so outrageous in LA almost impossible to live there. Costs have risen so substantially it is hard to survive. No longer is the American Dream that possible for many especially retirees and older folks. Beautiful home and lovely people.

    You hit the nail on the head zenmaiden. We had a very similar experience living in SoCal before coming to Merida. It was getting so hard to live there and so many things are changing in a negative way. We are so happy to have “gotten out” and after being here for two years I can honestly say things have worked out way better than we could have ever imagined.

    a 4 bed 5 bath house with custom kitchen, doors and cabinets in the US with a pool would easily run you $800,000 and over a million in some locations. The fact they got all of this for 400g, which included 15g in closing costs and taxs, so really only 385g is amazing.

    I am guessing this is a fairly quiet neighborhood>? The layer for green folage between this line of homes and the city creates a nice buffer zone. While the house is very modern they added some great Mexican touches like the Tiles and Art! Great insight into different styles of living in Mexico! I think it's great! I would love to see a well put together :studio! :) Gracias.

    This is a very informative video! There is one detail that is very important to foreigners, especially Americans that work for US based companies as W-2 employees. The Mexican tax authority SAT will require that the US based company have a tax presence in Mexico if the expat has a residency visa in Mexico and is working remotely in Mexico. This often not mentioned detail is a deal breaker for most working age would be expats.

  • @JoseArteagaTravels

    @JoseArteagaTravels

    10 ай бұрын

    Not necessarily true. If you work "online" you are exempt because there is no physical presence to the company. Also if you are self employed you are also exempt and I could go on and on. The reality is that when moving to Mexico one must realize they are not in their home country which is extremely strict with so many requirements. Mexico is very different. Mexican Citizens find it difficult themselves to pay taxes, let alone a foreigner that doesn't know the language and works a job the Mexican GOV has no knowledge of or way of finding out..... So all I have to say is this, if you are afraid of the Mexican Tax man then its best to not come to Mexico at all. Most of those fears are based on hearsay and not on how things actually work in Mexico. Anyone in any violation of anything usually gets a warning first and told to fix the situation. If not then a fine is issued. Worse case scenario you might end up in court and surprised to find out you win..... Mexico is not the USA. No need to live in fear while living in Mexico. With the proper knowledge anyone can live and work in Mexico without many barriers that many are always speaking of. Last thing I will say is that I am not advocating for not paying your taxes, I am advocating for people to educate themselves so that they along with a Mexican accountant can determine whether they have to pay taxes or not. Which btw spoiler alert most of the time they dont have to pay any taxes unless they actually make that income in Mexico.

    @@JoseArteagaTravels You bring up an interesting detail. There are some expats from San Diego that are moving to Tijuana and Ensenada because they work remotely or they commute across the border and the cost of living is cheaper. I have read that Mexico taxes its citizens and residents on world wide income. That being said, working age American expats do have to pay taxes to SAT. Applying for a hipoteca and federicomiso will trigger questions such as proving sources of income which opens up tax liability. Do you know of a resource that provides in-depth information on the finer details for those of us that are not retirees but working age Americans trying to go where we are treated better?
