    Mexico City is amazing, it's like NYC (but kind of better?) and I lived there for 5 years! My fiancé and I moved to another city in Mexico last year but are strongly considering moving back to CDMX because there's no place like it. It's impossible to run out of things to discover, especially if you're excited to explore lesser known (by foreigners) parts of the city. A lot of the lessons you learned are applicable to renting and daily life as well in Mexico, so live and learn like you said!

My bf and I were just idyllly talking about buying property outside the US, but since he has dual citizenship in Brazil we were thinking it'd be easier there. Don't forget to just chill for a bit once you get all the construction over with, a positive move is still a transition. So excited to see what's next! :)

      One thing I have noticed is a lot of the Americans I see moving to Mexico don’t have kids. It’s just an observation.
      Sure if you have American money you can afford a lot. A lot of Mexicans can’t afford these fancy houses unless they immigrate and go back. I used to think I wanted to retire in Mexico but now that I have kid’s I don’t see myself staying in Mexico for as much time as I thought I would. I have to think which country benefits our family generations to come. If I thought which country benefited only me Mexico would probably be my home.

      @@lilianamunoz3003 Most of the migrants going to the U.S. are actually from Venezuela, and the Mexicans that still want to go there are from rural towns that have been displaced due to the drug violence. Once you retire and your kids are all grown up, you can move to a city in Mexico and even get a permit to work as an English teacher if you know Spanish.

    OMG Rose, So many things to share with you about this video!! 🥳 1. Why/How did you decide on Mexico City? 2. Would love to hear about any requirements for bringing the dog please🐕? 3. How did you source and secure contractors for the renovations? (I'm really loving that this is such a current video! I'm watching 4 days after you posted.) Buying a place in a warm climate has always been a dream of mine, and now I'm ready to do what is necessary to make it happen. I've been subscribed to your channel for quite a while, but for some reason, I haven't seen any of your videos for months 🤔 you showed back up in my feed this morning. (When the student is ready the teacher appears!) My life has completely changed, and is continuing to change everyday right now😎. (All in good ways :) ) Getting back to being who I authentically am, which is a shining example of What IS Possible. I will start catching up on your videos, and look forward to what is to come for you. Thank you💖 Congratulations🥳

It is a blessing and off course a peace of mind to pay for your home cash, most people have to take out a mortgage and pay for several years. But you deserve to be happy and to enjoy a sense of comfort, peace of mind and and no worries of making those monthly mortgage payments. Your hard work and your sacrifice has pay off. I am very happy for you .enjoy your home to the fullest, God bless you, and have a great day.

    Huge congrats! I've been wondering the progress of your purchase. I checked out and "lived" in Mexico City for a month last July and it's a fantastic city. I'm from NYC. And it rivals as an urban (though can't beat NYC, let's be real). This doesn't apply to people like Rose because she speaks Spanish. But to feel truly belong in a foreign land you should be fluent in the local language. If you don't understand the simple chattering around you, you can feel like you're half there. And to feel settled in an environment, you have to feel like you belong. At least for me anyway. My Spanish is limited but learning to improve it every day.

      Timeidle, sorry to rival your opinion, but CDMX rivals NYC in many ways. Culture, CDMX's greener than your NYC, it´s cheeper, more walkable, it has more museums, better food options, better climate, and so on. Is that enough? or do you want more reasons?

    I was a bit concerned about it only being one bedroom and then when you said you met your boyfriend toward the end of the video I was like, yeah, that one bedroom is going to cause issue... it might also be weird (maybe not apparent at first) having him move into your house instead you getting a place together.

      No true a Mexican residents own way than American or foreigners. I suggest a review of ownership before making that statement. Gentrification in America is the wealthy moving into lower income areas building and by government regulations causes existing owners to experience increases through no fault of their own. Price increases in Mexico aren’t tied to those same regulations. You can have $5k properties next to $50k properties without the impact tax wise the government isn’t going to say your $5k now needs to be valued/taxed as the newer property. So putting things in context makes the difference. So no Foreigners are not increasing land cost individual owners are.

It would be interesting to know your cost of living in Mexico compared to the USD, also if you are paying any taxes to Mexico as an American living here.

      This is what Im wondering. She may not have mentioned the area for safely reasons, but I still think its pricey overall. Although I am coming from a US Southern state perspective and not NYC which is much more $$$.

    Wish you and all expats all the best -

    As a Mexican, I am more than happy that many foreigners are interested in Mexico. Truly happy you can see beyond all the things spread around the news and realize what Mexico is. On the other hand, I've noticed a lot of videos about foreigners buying their homes all around Mexico. Because of this, the living cost for Mexicans has increased, and many of them needed to move out of their homes :( Have you ever thought if there is a way to make these purchases less impactful to citizens there? Is that even possible?

    I wish you lots of luck and stay safe there. NYC is too expensive. I'm born & raised in Bushwick, and still here. No way a place like this in Bushwick or any part in Williamsburg could be affordable at this time. You're smart. Enjoy! :)

    Hey Rose! :) You want a tip from when I lived a year down there in Mexico? Bank Santander ATMS allow you to withdraw money for free if you have a bank of america account -- if my memory serves me right. Your video brings back memories when I used to live there. Makes me want to move back. :)

    Congratulatipn. So many questions and comments.
    1 Did you use an RE agent?
    2. Any HOA fees?
    3 Any asian supermarkets in the area?
    4. Good lighting is very important for everything.

    • @itsrosehan
      @itsrosehan  Рік тому

      Good questions! I answered #1 in this video (I did use an agent): ua-cam.com/video/fzzAwQnv4mg/v-deo.html
      HOA fees are about $150 a month... condos can charge more or less than that in Mexico City, it varies a lot. $150 is on the high side though. There are some asian markets in the area, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live here LOL. More videos on all this coming!

    Was this a purchase or a long term lease? My understanding, and it might be dated, is Mexico doesn’t allow foreigners to purchase property. Either way congratulations and best to you.

    Hey Rose, what do you think about safety there? So many parts of Mexico are different from each other, but I can't ignore that there are now US State dept travel advisories to parts of Mexico (Mostly northern, by Texas border). Do you think those recent tourists were just being dumb (I hear they were seeking some plastic surgery procedures), or that Mexico is truly getting less safe for everyone?

    • @itsrosehan
      @itsrosehan  Рік тому +1

      It definitely varies a lot depending on the region. In the north by the border is notoriously dangerous…

    Hi Rose, I’m from Mexico City and I think you got decent deal for the apartment. Judging by the appearance of the building and the beginning of your video, I would guess that you are located in the most expat friendly neighborhood which is also among the expensive areas of the City.
    While I agree that you could have negotiated a bit more, considering how much you’ve been moving around and listening to the mental peace that this new place brought you, a difference of 5 or 10 k doesn’t really mean much.
    Anyway, congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊!!! It’s amazing to see that someone I’ve been following on YT for quite sometime decided to move and settle in my hometown.
    You. Will. Love It. GUARANTEED

    So, are you pruchsding vs renting because you want to live there forever, or hope it appreciates and you can sell at profit? Im just curious, buying at that price is very high (and dont offer any tax benefits, does it?) Vs renting there. Renting nice apartments are 400-800 a month....

    California being Spanish historically from the native “Californios” and now English in California both coexisting.
    Mexico City is like a California where both English and Spanish coexist.
