    Right off the bat I have to question why you used video footage from someplace other than Mazatlán (and didn't say so). I agree with @anainmazatlan - your guest speaker is a snowbird, not an ex-pat/immigrant. He also has a few insignificant things wrong (for example - nope, no Wendy's here; the malecón is not 10 miles long; ...), and forgot to mention that in addition to property taxes, you will have a fideicomiso (bank trust) if you buy property here - and that is a lot more than $190. Also, maybe since the speaker is from California/Arizona he didn't experience much of a culture shock - people from other areas of the USA or Canada definitely will. The culture here is NOT the typical culture in the USA/Canada. Most crime in México is not like everywhere else. Violent crime in México is mainly targeted between cartel members (and between cartels and police, politicians, and journalists). In the USA crime is random - you never know when you'll be in a shooting just going to a mall or movie.

    We bought a condo about 6 mile north of the bridge at San Pedro. It is probably the most expensive part of the country. Both property and food are quite expensive. Then it has a lot of entertainment and close access to the barrier reef. We love our ocean view. The people are very friendly.

  • @anainmazatlan
    @anainmazatlan 13 днів тому

    Interesting video with a lot of good information. However, I would like to clarify some things. First, a true expat is one that has moved full time to a different country. A snowbird who visits for up to 6 months a year is definitely not an expat. Second, the rents quoted in the video are for furnished places primarily in the tourist zones. If you live here full time, as I do, you would more likely want to rent unfurnished which can bring the price down significantly although those places are harder to find in the tourist zones. Third, what wasn't mentioned as an adjustment are the cultural differences. These can be significant when living full time here or anywhere for that matter. For example, expectations of Canadian or US standards for services. Here you need to have a lot of patience and also accept that it may take longer to get things done and it may not be exactly what you expect. I've been here full time almost 14 years and I love it! I rent a small 2 bdrm unfurnished house in a quiet "colonia" (neighborhood) only 10 minutes away from the beach and all the "action". My basic expenses (rent, water, electric, cell, internet) run about $500 USD ($700 CDN) a month.

    Will you please explain the bank thing? How do I access my U.S. account while residing in Mexico? Do I need to open an account there? Like if I decided to stay there for 6 mos. mol, for regularization, I would need to pay rent, and pay bills, etc. I've contacted an attorney there, but he is quite expensive to hire... I'm retired and seriously exploring this option, I live in Florida. I understand I must drive or fly in, as a tourist and then renew/apply for residency at a local immigration office. Thank you.

      ... yes, you can open an account on an tourist visa.. Intercam is the bank you should choose, although permanent resident I have an account there..need proof of current (Mexican) residency, a decent credit rating... yes they will check... ID and a valid FMM or stamp in your passport... Moving money to Mexico... check out the WISE money transfer services... excellent.. and it's real easy.. just a few clicks of the mouse and within seconds your money is transferred from your account in Canada or the USA to your Intercam account in Mexico. I use Canadian e-Transfer, a service which interfaces with WISE...and they give you the interbank rate..NOT the bank rate. NEVER unless you are a 2 or 3 week tourist, use an ATM...their fees are quite high.
