5.0 out of 5 stars
If you buy just one book on moving to Mexico, this is it!,
By
This review is from: Choose Mexico for Retirement, 9th: Information for Travel, Retirement, Investment, and Affordable Living (Choose Retirement Series) (Paperback)
Nicely organized and full of information, this is a great resource for anyone thinking of moving to Mexico. As much as anything, I learned what questions I should be asking, and what I need to consider before making a final decision. Different locations are compared in a meaningful way, so that I actually zeroed in on my tentative location (Sayulita, which I had never even heard of before) with the help of this book.
Important up-to-date information on Mexican laws regarding land ownership and vehicle insurance are critical and this book can save anyone a lot of money and inconvenience. Don't buy or rent a house in Mexico without reading this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book with some deficits.,
By Doug Bower "ForTheTruth" (Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Choose Mexico for Retirement, 9th: Information for Travel, Retirement, Investment, and Affordable Living (Choose Retirement Series) (Paperback)
This is a good book in that it addresses some of the basics of planning to move to Mexico. What it does not address is specifics such as,
1. How do you get your water and gas? 2. What should you look for in renting a house in Mexico? 3. Is there a Mexican price and is there a Gringo price for things? 4. What about learning Spanish? In the majority of the places this book lists for expatriation you will find large gringo communitites that are isolated from the culture of Mexico with their gated communities, their own American stores, movie theaters, etc... Choose Mexico does not cover these facts. The reason for this is that the majority of gringos in these colonies do not learn Spanish. Without learning the language you cannot very well have a life in geniune Mexico. Doug Bower The Plain Truth about Living in Mexico
