In 2000, I went to Cabo San Lucas to go scuba diving for a week. One day I drove my rent-a-jeep to San Jose del Cabo. At that time there were only 4 or 5 hotels and virtually no restaurants. It's amazing how much its grown. The airport was brand new at that time,... just opened.

I noticed that at minute 4:57 you showed my favorite Mexican hot sauce, Salsa Valentina. I say favorite because usually in Spain it is the only Mexican chile sauce available, and at a reasonable price. In Portugal I have never seen it so I stock up when we go shopping across the border. Before the pandemic started I bought five bottles and am now working on my last one. I love it. Your electricity bill is incredibly low. In Portugal we pay around 21 dollars even if we don't use it. Our normal monthy bill is 85 dollars, which is a fixed rate for six months, then adjusted up or down. Mexico is so cheap in some things.

Yea - it’s a bit more expensive here, but it’s also more expensive to live month to month rather than to rent a one-year lease. We spoke to some landlords who had furnished rentals for cheaper, as low as 8,000 pesos a month, but they wanted 6-month minimum.

@@asajayunknown6290 Yes it would. I've lived in Mexico for years now. In the beginning my girl and I got ill several times. From the water and eggs. She went to to ER. After years of washing fruit and veggies and ingesting small amounts we now don't feel ill from the water. It took us several years to get used to it.

It’s also significantly cheaper if you lived in the barrió but, the majority of expats won’t. Also Los Cabos has zones for electrical consumption (unlike other areas of Mexico, even other areas of BCS), so you AC bill will vary depending your zone. Also the cost of gas for your house and your vehicle is more expensive here than any other state.

Living in Cabo implies tremendous savings for retirees on fixed income to sustain a comfortable way of living, as their retirement fund can be stretched 20-30% in contrast to the average living cost in the US, due to the always favorable exchange rate, and because food, utilities, and everyday services are less

If you are only searching in English then those are sort of the prices you're likely to find. It also depends on the dates that you're looking for as well and what neighborhood you want to be in (the hotel zone is definitely the most expensive). If you can search in Spanish on Facebook Marketplace or in the Facebook groups for rentals in San Jose or San Lucas then you will find much lower prices.

When you're renting these places are you having to sign formal leases or is this more of a verbal and trust agreement?

@laura-bronner 3 жыл бұрын

It always depends on the landlord. The place we're in now is really just a verbal agreement. Other places that I've had in the past for short term have had leases, but there was no need for a notary or anything. The only time I needed something more than the money and a deposit was when I was renting long term (one or two year leases) in Mexico City. For that, I needed a guarantor (fiador).

How do you usually pay in Mexico for your long term rentals? Cash, Venmo, Credit Card?

@laura-bronner 3 жыл бұрын

Personally I've always paid for everything in cash. It's likely that if you rent from a Mexican landlord you'll be paying in cash. Sometimes we pay her into her bank account from ours, but we have a Mexican bank account so it's pretty easy. When I was living in Mexico City we would meet our landlord in the building parking lot once a month and pay that way. You can also pay cash into a bank account at Oxxo. If you have a foreign landlord you can probably pay differently, but I have no experience in that.
