DO NOT worry cynclem

11 years ago
Hola cynclem,
If you have a fixed income of $2,000 USD and the ability to make a little more teaching , don't worry...you will be able to live OK. My wife and I have MI CASA ES SU CASA REAL ESTATE
www.micasa-essucasa.com and we meet new arrivals all the time who are shocked at home prices. If you want to buy a home it will cost around $2,000,000 pesos ($150,000 USD more or less - cash). You can rent a decent place in Centro for $8,000 - $10,000 pesos - possibly furnished. We recently rented a very nice home for $15,000 pesos completely furnished. Unfortunately, on your income that one would be out of reach (it's out of mine as well) But, fear not; you will find something you can afford as long as you don't set your standards too high.
Most of the homes being built here are for Mexico City residents as a second or third home. We recently showed one listed for $25,000,000 pesos - and it wasn't even finished yet. My point is ....living in Mexico can be very cheap, IF...you are willing to settle for a simple home or apartment outside the centro district, do not plan to eat out a lot and just live a simple life.
Please do not misunderstand me; I love it here. Tequis is very charming and a comfortable, safe place to live. You will be fine on your income. My personal email is: [email protected] Feel free to write me there.
Good luck,
Tom
