So educate this unsophisticated American, if you will.

Here is an example of the information there:If you want median household value specifically you may need to get the data from US Census Berueau American Fact Finder found here which is also free: http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml You can get select median value as a specific variable if im not mistaken, if not you can quickly determine it yourself by opening the database in excel.

Does anyone know any great RE lawyers to recommend who has experience with American buying properties in Mexico?

@Bill Brandt Got a quote from American Family Insurance, $790/year

Just $620/yr through American National.I'm not sure if you can get a business policy for just a single rental...

I have read some of the discussions on here, but its aimed at the American buyer not English.

I usually do my own rentals and traditionally have bought American Craftsman Series 70 (Home Depot) or Lowe's ThermaStar by Pella.

We have become such an on demand society, we want everything now!

I've heard  we're in a sellers market lately ( over in Okanagan and Vancouver) Is it worth it to invest abroad with how high the American dollar is right now or would anyone recommend staying in Canada?
