    For a smaller, two-bedroom unit, that's actually an excellent price!

    I purchased an 840 square-foot condo in Tampa for 100k versus a 200k condo. IIf the goal is just to keep a roof over your head versus living in your car, you'd be amazed at how small of a space you really need. It also keeps you from buying a bunch of extra crap you don't need to fill the space.
    We need more small housing like this.
    I have a single female friend who thought she was too good to live in my non fancy place. She turned down my suggestion in 2020, when I bought my place, to consider buying the place above me for 65k. Perfect starter at 550 sq ft.
    That place she rejected goes for 175k now versus the 65k she could have bought it for 3 years ago 😂.
    My place sells at about 200k. And she's stuck paying 1800 month rent for a 1 br apartment the same size as my 840 square ft condo 😂😂😂😂😂.
    Never turn down a place because it's small. Be blessed and thankful. Today I am completely debt free.

    In my view, an increasing number of Americans will consider relocating to regions like Latin America and Southeast Asia due to their affordability. As American corporations and investors increasingly dominate the housing market, it may become challenging for the middle class to afford homes at average national prices. Inflation is killing middle America especially with rising interest rates.

    $350 a month may not sound like much but anybody thinking of moving there needs to think a little bigger if its for retirenment. He literally just said it was closer to $300 a month and in less than a year bumped up to $350, in just a few MONTHS!. That means if you retire with say 1k monthly income coming in, in a few years time you may find yourself paying $500 a month and find yourself needing extra income. Which you won't have an option for in a foreign country. Things to think about. For people to actively work remotely its pure gold but I suspect those are few. Mexican econ will just improve so count on your dollar stretching less real quick.

If you buy land thats not even zoned yet you can get it pretty cheap. I'm looking at 25-40k for land to easily build 2 houses on. I figure about 60k to build a decent 3bd house that is custom built. Whats crazy is i see built houses sold to americans for american like prices. If you are buying a house for 400k+ in Mexico you might as well just move to Utah, Texas,wyoming etc. Food expenses are not that different anymore between Mex and USA. USA meal average $17?

Then you pay additional for furnishings, your health insurance, and any other things that you want. You also have to have extra money in case the American dollar gets weaker and the peso gets stronger. Write your budget down.

      The truth is, which no one really wishes to discuss, it's not enough foreigners here to cause all of that. The fastest and biggest growing demographic of folks flooding into Merida are Mexicans from other States in Mexico. Many coming with more money and resources. I live in an upscale neighborhood and learned 'foreigners' make up less than 1% of the folks in this neighborhood. And I'm sure when you look at the number of foreigners in the neighborhood profiled in this video, it'll be WAY under 1/2% ... So it ain't due to foreigners from other countries or US Citizens. But the folks in the US say the same thing. They'll blame 'immigrants' for taking all of the jobs ... It's a false narrative.

    If there is flooding do they have any houses on stilts or multi-story apartments.

You should learn basic Español and be able to count change, pesos before moving to MX, it is never easy moving or living in a foreign country, too many have these fairy tale visions but need to stay rooted in reality and plan before doing this, you also need to be real about construction noise and neighborhood noise after the community is settled, if your an outgoing person who doesn't sweat the small stuff this maybe for you but don't expect it to be like the states and you'll be alright.

      Yes. Many will require double deposit if you don't have an 'aval' (which is essentially someone who will co-sign for you (they must own property free and clear). Without this 'aval', you'll typically pay 2 deposits for security (plus 1 month of rent) and they'll typically require a lawyer's fee for contract/legal paperwork (can usually equal 1/2 or 1-full month of rent. You can usually negotiate this if it seems too high. If they want to rent the place out, they'll work it out in many cases.
