    These places are so “choppy”. Weird lines and silly appointments. Overpriced considering how much money you would need to make it feng shui if you will.

    On average is it more expensive to build rather than purchase pre existing? Wondering how expensive the land is.

  • @RichVarney
    @RichVarney3 күн бұрын

    Land prices differ widely under each area to be honest. Anywhere from say 100 usd per square meter to 1100 per square meter. If a house have been recently renovated it could be sold for the price of a new home. It just all depends on area, finishes, views…it’s really a case by case scenario.

    Thanks so much for watching! I have added the questions covered here instead of on the video. Please contact Alvaro directly on Lic. Alvaro Becerra Sánchez Migración y Naturalización [email protected] Questions for Alvaro: 1. What are the most common immigration options available for Americans and Canadians looking to move to Ajijic? 2. Can you explain the process and requirements for obtaining residency in Mexico? 3. Are there any specific challenges or considerations for retirees or expatriates moving to Ajijic? 4. What are the benefits of obtaining permanent residency versus temporary residency? 5. How long does the immigration process typically take, from application to approval? 6. How does the recent political climate or changes in immigration policy in Mexico affect expatriates seeking residency? 7. Are there any specific documents or certifications that Americans and Canadians need to prepare before applying for residency in Mexico?

    Hi, thanks for all the info. Loved the last series. Is there an estimate for the total build (plans site work and build)not including the land.?

  • @RichVarney
    @RichVarneyАй бұрын

    Thank you so much. I will give you a ball park figure if that is okay. As the property will have similar feature from the home built in the previous series. The construction cost is estimated around 1000/1100 USD per sqm. This may vary as all the materials and Labour cost are in mexican pesos not USD. You of course can go lower per sqm if you were to not to use custom finishes ect. That does increase the price point somewhat.Just bear in mind, we have seen a 20/30 percent increase in materials in the past 3 years. Labour cost have also increased. This of course effects the final building cost. I hope that is helpful.
