Are you looking for a house or apartment to rent? Send me an email and I can help you: contact@lakarencita.com
We were nearly scammed out of US$5500! How easy is it to rent a house in Mexico? How cheap is rent in Mexico? We share our house hunting journey with you in the beautiful city of Queretaro in the heart of Mexico so that you can avoid making the same mistakes as we did.
As Queretaro is a popular spot for people to retire in Mexico and one of the best places to live in Mexico, a lot of people ask us about moving to Mexico and how to find a house or apartment. But how much should you be paying for rent? Where can you find the cheapest houses and what paperwork do you need? It's quite daunting to rent a house in another country so I hope that our video is useful to anybody thinking about moving to Mexico.
We had a budget of US$500 a month for a furnished house or apartment, preferably close to Queretaro's historic center.
You'll see what documents we needed to provide to get a place and how easy it is to find somewhere to live in Mexico. This is the ultimate guide to how to find an apartment in Mexico.
If you are interested in moving to Mexico or retiring in Queretaro and you would like assistance in finding accommodation, please feel free to get in touch with us via my Facebook page and we'll be happy to help.

I've lived in the state of Jalisco for about 7 years now...Half the places I've lived in, the landlords were old school and did the transaction via a 'handshake', in 'good faith' (not recommended, btw 😄) or asked me to pay rent a year out in advance...still no contract 🤔 . I FINALLY found my dream place, in Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco, WITH an easy to understand contract, month-to-month, no strings agreement. I couldn't imagine jumping through the hoops you did on that first place. Also, for expats, Craigslist is still a good place to find apartmemts in our area (Puerto Vallarta). Hope you're enjoying your new home, you two! 😎✌🏼

We've been told that it tends to be a bit easier in places with more expats and that Queretaro is particularly complicated.

@swilhelm3180 3 жыл бұрын

I think the problem is that you are looking for places that are too nice. This is not typical living in Mexico! You are probably dealing with property managers who are going to significantly inflate the price with all their "labor". You need to deal direct with an owner that is hungry for business. This means a lot more walking around and meeting people unfortunately - a lot more time. If you put down enough security deposit there really is not risk for the owner. How much would you need? I would think 1 month rent but maybe its more.

I am moving to Queretaro, Mexico on November 2. I have always kept a Chicago, Oak Park, and Waukegan as my bases, but I did live in Acapulco as a second home. The earthquakes and hurricanes were the deal breakers. Acapulco will always be the most beautiful city, that I have ever visited, and the people were super nice. USA was the most dangerous for me, and I was born here in 1942, and have been to all 50 states and around the world, on my own dime. It is better to give, than to receive, and my ancestors told me never beg for money, but WORK and help non beggars help themselves. Thank you so much for your intelligent videos.

Great video. Full of useful information. You did the right thing walking away from that house. I didn't know about the Pagares system. They have a similar system in the UAE when you borrow. You have to sign a check in the full amount to a bank when you borrow for a mortgage / car, etc. If you don't pay, writing a fraudulent check is a crime so you will get imprisoned in UAE. There are many abandoned cars at the Dubai airport as when people lose their jobs and have debt, they immediately flee the country.

Love the video! I've been in Mexico for years and have always gone direct to the Mexican owners with mostly good results. All on the lower end 2500-3500 in guadalajara back in the day while living and working abroad. Then while living in the Lake Chapala area for 5 years, i was very lucky to have excellent Mexican landlords. 3500-4500. Small houses. I'm at a beach paying 8000. One year year lease with very good local landlady. Always go local and get the language? All the gmes and paperwork come from agencies. Common. I do not care for agencies but they may help many people. Something for everyone.

However, they said that it was NOT the norm in other cities in Mexico where they've lived and rented. Just for that reason alone, I'd scratch Quetetero off my list.

I think Guanajuato is my favourite city in Mexico. It's absolutely gorgeous. It is very touristy, though. Guanajuato state in general is in a bad situation with regards to organised crime so outside of Guanajuato city centre, I wouldn't feel so safe. It's also smaller than Querétaro. Oaxaca is beautiful and cheap with great food. It's not as developed as Querétaro and it's more isolated as there are a lot of jungles and mountains separating it from other places, particularly to the south. Puebla is nice. It didn't leave a lasting impression when I visited but the centre is lovely and the food was good. I've heard safety is a bit of an issue there, too. I'm glad to live in Queretaro because I think it offers everything you need. It's safe, which is obviously very important. It's also very easy to travel to nearby towns if you want a change. The food isn't as good as some other parts of Mexico but there are a lot of restaurants offering food from other regions.

@LaKarencitaMX 3 жыл бұрын

Oh my God! I would live in those places as well. Let me tell you a bit from my perspective: Guanajuato: it's a beautiful, historic and colonial city (I like it more than Querétaro) but I've heard traffic gets a little bit complicated for where the city is. It's smaller than Querétaro but very international (it's more touristy than Queretaro I think) 2. Oaxaca: I'm in love with this city. I'm not there just because the Internet connection isn't as great as in Querétaro (I need to have an excellent connection to teach online). It can be cheaper than Queretaro. 3. Puebla: It's a lovely city. I just went once so, I don't know if I could live there to be honest.
