PRESIDENT FELIPE CALDERON OFFICIALLY INAUGURATED THE MAR DE CORTES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, SERVICING PUERTO PENASCO AND THE SONORA GOLD COAST.
HOW DO WE SPEND OUR TIME IN PÁTZCUARO?
A New Boomer Member recently sent me a message saying that she and her husband were looking for a retirement place in Latin America and asked if I could share our daily experience living in Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, Mexico. She asked, “Is the assimilation difficult? How important is the language? How are the locals treating you? What is the price of the real estate? How much on average does it take to live there a month? Sorry for this many questions, we cannot find any sources yet to have a good objective overview of living in Mexico.” I answered her with an email, but it seems to me that many people, who have not yet made the move to overseas living, probably have the same or similar questions. So, I would like to share the comments I sent in my email to the New Member.

Mexico can be an exciting place to live for those who are retiring to Mexico, for those who are working from home on a computer link with their company, for those who are looking for a vacation home or an outstanding investment… above all, for those who dream of a better quality of life! Home…the word represents security and comfort for the majority All too often the word, when used in conjunction with a purchase of property in Mexico creates stress, worry and, at times has been associated with financial loss This needn't be the case Procedures in searching titles and transferring property are similar to those of the United States and Canada The buyer of a house, condominium or lot in Mexico must ask the same questions, and should receive answers similar to those received when buying a property elsewhere
