Guatemala: Costs of building a house near Lake Atitlan:

Hello! First off... I am NOT a realtor or anything close to it. But I would have to agree with the last reply. You really want to come spend some time here first to understand all of the dynamics of the local communities. You can definitely buy or build something on par with "Western" living standards for well under $100K but you will most certainly spend less money if you take the time to do the more detailed research in person. Use caution when buying any property through online channels as the prices have a tendency to be inflated. "OLX Guatemala" is a good resource for getting a general sense of prices but there are many people in the area that sell their land without a realtor or the internet, they simply just have a sign on the property stating that it is for sale. Those scenarios are almost always a better option. Also, on the topic of building, you have a couple of options... you can pay a building company to design/build (I do not reccomend this) or you can find individual professionals for each particular part of the project; a engineer/architect, cement, plumber, electrician, etc... this will save you a lot of money and likely yield a living space that meets and exceeds expectations. The formal stuff (permits,etc) is actually fairly easy. Feel free to reach out to me for further discussion if you would like. ElGringoGuate@hotmail.com Cheers, Adam
