If its local to me, I'll hire one of my kids friends to live there for awhile.... give them some food $$ and have them crash in the unit rent free for a few weeks.

Hey all,Recently got dual-citizenship (US citizen, obtained Mexican citizenship) and am planning on buying a home in Mexico as part-time STR.

Food for thought.

My wife being Mexican may facilitate the process of acquiring properties however we are not familiar with much of the real estate process in Mexico.

We did it really fast, lake 3 months but I expect we can do it a lot faster, and taking Mexican earning tax in account, so the value can go higher.

I think most of them are too immature and just don't want the responsibilities of growing up, like paying rent, power, food...  

I just came back from there and really love the city, culture, people, food. , and now wondering what the process might be for acquiring something there, where it might make the most sense, and if the numbers check out in the short and potentially long term.I'd love to connect with anyone who can offer any advice or thoughts would really be tremendous.

That is why illegals are given a debit card at the boarder, to "pay" for food and housing.

Just some food for thought.What market are you in?

There are many benefits with section 8 in order for the tenant to be placed in one of my properties they go through a process with the committee then when living in the property they need to abide by lease rules and keep the property in shape, if major damage is made or neglect to the property by the tenant they may losE their voucher from section 8, so it’s a very good idea to go this route and food for thought you always know your property is up to date safety wise and livable with annually inspections.
