Hey there. My brother is interested in the best way how to buy a house in Mexico. He and his girlfriend (she is Mexican) want to emigrate to Mexico in a few years (not more than three, he says). Probably he will marry her before then. For this reason, immigration formalities are not important. The real question is how he will buy a house in Mexico with the capital of around 150.000 Dollars saved up. Is it best to do it from here through an estate agent (which might be very expensive…there is apparently only luxury estate agents on the internet) or can you take the money to Mexico legally without big losses/expenses (transfer it to a Mexican account) and then buy the house there? In Mexico houses are rather cheap.... Anyone with any experiences and tips? Thanks in advance for the answers!! :-)

I actually like it when you have different styles in one and the same house. So that it doesn't to look too perfect...so it won’t look like a kitchen/bathroom from a catalogue either. To me, the individual touch would always be more important than the fact that something has to fit perfectly together. Fortunately, my wife agrees with me – which is pretty rare ;-)

A friend of mine had bought a fairly large plot of land next to kind of a swamp decades ago…when land prices were much lower than nowadays. At a ridiculous price! Today the land would certainly be worth over a million. Because the local community had turned the swamp into a lake (however, this must have been pretty expensive as well, I guess). Now it looks super idyllic over there. There are only very few houses around the lake. Especially in summer it is an absolute dream to spend some time there! The price of land can only rise in the next few years! Because this small village is better and better connected and more and more people decide to live there.
