I'm crossing with my household inventory in a 22' cargo trailer. I have my stamped inspection from the Consulate. Does anyone have advice on whether I should use Downtown Nogales or Mariposa crossing?

Suppose some millionaire from the US, wants to reside in Mexico. From my understand, Mexico taxes on worldwide income. But the US - from my understanding - doesn't want to tax folks twice (i.e. double taxation). So how would this work in general? Would the millionaire pay both US and Mexican taxes, just because he resides in Mexico? Or does the IRS give the person a break, on the US side?

Are California same sex married couples treated as married in Mexico (specifically in Chapala/Ajijic), for purposes of obtaining residency visas (and showing financial responsibility)? Or is this topic still considered taboo and perhaps we shouldn't even mention it at the consulate?

We plan to be in the Lake Chapala area for 3 weeks this Aug. & are looking for a centralized B&B or small hotel that we can use as a base to explore the possibility of living in this area permanently. Any suggestions, anyone?

Planning a trip to San Miguel in 2015 and need a short term rental from January through April. Looking for a furnished apartment, condo or small home with a budget of $1300 per month. Being the high season I understand prices are higher and many places are already booked. I have visited most of the websites available as well as craigslist but without much success. I would appreciate any leads or other sources and contacts that you might be able to suggest. Thanks.

Moving to Chapala, MX are there any good web sites I can look at for USA expatriates ?

Hello Everyone! This is my intro on the forum. My husband and I are planning to move to the La Paz area next summer, for our retirement years. Is there a specific forum for La Paz, Todos Santos and Cabo? I would first like to ask seasoned expats in Baja Sur, if the area is reasonably safe. Then I'd like to know if La Paz is a good choice for expats, as opposed to Cabo or Todos Santos. We will be looking to buy a small home with a garden and perhaps a guest cottage, and would like to begin talking about affordable areas that are close to a nice beach. I will also want to start gathering information on how much it will cost to employ a housekeeper 3 times a week, and a gardener. And will be be advised to ship our furniture and appliances down from Oregon? And how can we transport our four pets? We may plan a short visit in August, and we'd love to meet up with expats for coffee or margaritas. So if you'd like to mentor us, please send a private message and we can make some plans. Also, is there a Newcomers Club in La Paz or Cabo? Thank you all! I look forward to your thoughts! Mary and Paul

I will be visiting the Puerto Morelos, Mexico area at the end of July for 30-60 days. I'm looking for a clean furnished studio/1 br apartment with hot water, air condition, good high speed internet, a decent kitchen and a terrace with a decent view. It would be great to find an apartment within walking distance of a grocery store. My budget is 2,500 - 4000 pesos per month. Your tips, thoughts & comments are appreciated thank you.
