    About 7 months ago, we left our last long-term home in Mexico, Puerto Morelos. Since then, we've been traveling all over Mexico looking for another city to call home. We're happy to share that Queretaro, Mexico is that city! Today we'll be outlining:
    - Why we chose to sign a 1-year lease in Queretaro, Mexico
    - What the process of finding a rental in Mexico is like in 2021
    - How house hunting in Mexico is different than in the US
    - Where to look for rentals in Mexico
    - What it was like getting an insurance policy for renting
    - The risky mistakes we made while moving to Queretaro and how you can avoid them

    During this process, we had to figure out how to transfer money internationally for the first time and used TransferWise (now "Wise").

      Maybe you'll make back in savings using Wise -the amount of money you had to fork over for the insurance and the deposit (eventually) from the savings you'll realize not having to pay such high exchange fees. [It sounds like Monica is worth her weight in gold.]

    So happy for you two! We retired and have lived in Morelia for 8 years. We really love it and the expat community is rapidly growing. But, if we ever have to move, we will head to Queretaro. Actually, the weather in Morelia is a bit cooler and I am very sensitive to heat. We love having our windows open to the fresh air and being comfortable outdoors most of the year, so we very rarely run our window A/C units. Queretaro is a bit more arid and tends to get a little hotter during the warm season than Morelia at 6600 feet. We are from Texas and we wanted to be far removed from extreme (105+ F) heat in the summer, late June to August, or even early September, and also avoid brutal cold and ice, at times, like in the DFW area of Texas. You being from Arizona well know the drill. Plus, one is about 2.5 hours closer to the border at Laredo, than in Morelia, and that would be ideal for us driving back to see family and friends. And, who doesn't love the amenities in Qro. Enjoy your new digs! Yay!

    That was a really interesting video about the formalities of renting there. As an aside, I ended up purchasing a condominium in Playa del Carmen and went through a lot of procedures similar to your rental experience and when I sold my property and decided to leave the country for good, the government tried to do a $12,000 cash grab, which apparently is normal if you've owned a property there and leave the country. If I didn't have an excellent lawyer they definitely would have received this 'parting gift' from me on the way out the door. I suppose the short version is it's great to have a good, knowledgeable realtor or lawyer on your side.

    • @dougrock8519
      @dougrock8519 Před 3 lety

      @Galleta de Soda good question. Truthfully I originally wanted to settle in Merida, I placed an offer on a beautiful condo there but it fell through. I ended up settling in Playa because I thought it might be the best place to purchase if decided that I wasn't happy there and wanted to resell my place. The short version is that I was on my own and three and a half years in Playa seemed like enough, in retrospect I should have purchased on Isla Mujeres, I know people on the island and it has a much more relaxed vibe there. I found Playa to be too transient, far too touristic.

    Welcome to Queretaro. I am originally from Ohio and have been living and working in Mexico for the past 17 years. I now live in Queretaro (I am an automation engineer). Let me know if you need any help - I am fluent in Spanish.
    Pretty funny (well, not for you guys) about the ringer you were put through. In all of my years, I never have had to get insurance (fianza) for a rental. And I have NEVER lived in tourist area. Kinda confused about why you guys had to go that route.
    Disclaimer: what I am about say is pure speculation... I have seen where fixers create problems that are then "solved." Not saying that Monica did this, but it does happen in Mexico. Would be interesting to know how much the Fianza cost you. Remember (and live by) the Mexican saying, "¡Piensas mal y acerterás!" I learned to "pensar mal" pretty soon after arriving here.
    Also good to see you guys getting the true taste of Mexico - bureaucratic as HELL. Just love their paperwork (tramites) and lines - notarial versus common law legal system. Are you planning on registering your car in Queretaro (I would recommend it)? How about drivers licenses? That will be fun.
    Living in Mexico is so different than visiting or "retiring." Very different; especially if you work or have a family. Big hassles for just about everything. But, I found a wonderful wife, have a beautifil family and great friends. I guess some things you just have to put up with.
    Any way.... Welcome again! Hope you enjoy your stay.

      @michaeldowdell2005 Před 3 lety +6

      @@cshula1 Good morning. Sorry for my delay in responding. I have never used a realtor. My method of finding a proprety is to determine where I would like to live or rent and then go in my car and look for "for sale" or "for rent." Then I talk to my friends.
      It is difficult to explain, but the types of services that require databases (i.e. MLS, Zillow) and tansparency (with repect to information) just do not work in Mexico. For example, just try to find a website or app where you can look up average home prices by zip code, overlay crime statistics, check school district (completely different topiC - Arggh!!!!) and determine mortgage including taxes - Good Luck. In MY OPINION, these type of services are at best pale facsimiles to what you are accustomed to; at worst, they involve con artists aping US business practices in an attempt to gain the confidence of their victims - much more common in tourist destinations.
      Also, I should warn you against buying land in Mexico. This endeavor is fraught with danger. Clear land title is an issue and someone who knows more than me could write a book about it.
      I would recommend that you first find a locale that you like and rent and get WhatsApp. Then become fluent in the language and culture. Befriend actual Mexicans (super easy) and ask for help- a quick I have know my friends for more than 5 years. These informal networks are the way to go. I understand that is the reason you want a realtor, but to me it is just too much a leap of faith to get advice from some random person on the internet. A Mexican friend would be the better route. Just too much much money at stake.
      Another point to remember is to be prepared to pay cash or have US financing. Financing in Mexico can be a bitch.
      Finally, remember "piensas mal y acerterás." Until you fully understand this phrase, speak fluent Spanish, and have Mexican friends please rent.

      @@edwinvonborstel3405 Hello Edwin, I had written a longer response but I accidently opened another site and lost what I had written.
      If your wife is from Mexico... ya estás del otro lado. I am sure that she will give you great information. Personally and, IN MY OPINION, Mexico is not truly family-oriented in the way that I was brought up (Conservative Midwestern).
      However, the manner in which you raise your family should not change depending on where you live. Sure it can be easier or harder depending on the society in which you live - shared norms, attitudes, beliefs, etc. I can honestly say, that is has been very difficult for me - I have felt zero support. I do believe that if you are culturally conservtive you will have issues in Mexico. Much like the US in its current incarnation.
      I am seeing "Wokeness / SJW" along with 4th wave feminism. A fairly toxic cocktail for conservative family values - i.e. the tyrannical patriarchy.
      Might I recommend moving to a conservtive state and purchasing a lot land. I believe the end result will be the same, but you will have more rights (guns to defend your family, extracting water, etc.), higher probability in the application of the rule of law, a cleaner / less denuded environment, and social stability. Just my take.
      Finally, just rememer that Mexico and its citizens are like people form any other country - they want to project the best image and portray their country in the best light possible. Just be prepared.
      I am sharing my perspective with you not to dissuade you from moving here - the more the merrier. I just trying to help inform your decision. For me, at least, the key to happines is keeping my expectations in line with reality.

I left because I had too many rental headaches and moved on to Puebla where rentals are more normal. But I left telling Monica basically: "Ugh!

    Actually Querétaro is the most touristic city in México, except for beach places. Is full of a lot of tourist but obviously if you are in Mexico you’re supposed to speak Spanish and tourist learn Spanish, but many people in Querétaro speak English of course. Really nice city to live in!!

    Based on your last video if I ever got to come back to Mexico I was seriously considering Querétaro, although I would miss Lake Chapala, but after watching this video it's off my list for sure. When I first came to Mexico I rented a great apartment while still in Canada, then rented another apartment in Riberas del Pillar through a Realtor, none of which involved the insane process you guys went through. Many things in Mexico can be complicated, but this renting a place takes the cake. Monica has the best job security of anybody in Mexico because no one could go through this without her.

      Thailand is a wonderful country but is very close to China, which can be a problem because China has built dams to control the water source of the Mekong River and divert the water for China’s own agriculture purpose. This behavior is already causing international dispute. Additionally, the Thai government has an unfriendly retirement visa program that requires you to check in with an immigration office every ninety days plus limiting your housing purchase option to condo only. Also, Thai language is hard to understand. To make the matter worse, nationalism is becoming more and more prevalent in Thailand as life is getting harder for the regular folks in Thailand during the pandemic. However, Thailand is great for visit but for building your retirement life, Mexico is easier, friendlier, and Spanish is very doable if you put your mind to it. Not to mention it is so close to the US that you can visit your grand children frequently.
