Buyers, especially those who expect to becom e expatriates, should think seriously about making one or more "rehearsal" visits to Mexico and the particular location in which they plan to purchase property. They should experience the climate and the locale in all seasons. ln areas that have a busy high season, vital services such as transportation may be overcrowded in high season and/or not available in low season. Some may find that the geographic and cultural distance involved in expatriate living, even for a few months at a time, outweighs other advantages. lt is best to find out about these aspects of the location and lifestyle before sinking an investment or retirement nest egg into property in Mexico.
