Leasing/banking/

3 years ago
I've done research regarding getting a place in Mexico. I've mainly seen a lot of people have recommended to rent first, so you can see if you like the area or not. Which makes sense. I just wanted to see your input/feedback. What areas in Mexico City do you guys recommend? I plan to go visit in the spring.

I also saw it's better to open a checking account with Charles Schwab to avoid fees. Do you guys recommend staying with an american bank account or transferring? Does the banking there in Mexico differ from the US?

Thank you so much!!
