Have you been considering living in Mexico? If so, one option is to try it out with a Mexico rental before making the commitment of buying. The following are some of the advantages you can enjoy.

 

Mexico has a good deal of options available in the rental market, both in a variety of areas, property types, prices, locations, sizes, etc. For example, if you are ready for the big move to make Mexico your full time home, you can easily find a comfortable and well-priced long-term rental. On the other hand, if you are considering Mexico primarily for vacations for the time being, finding attractive Mexico vacation rentals at reasonable prices is also easy to do.

 

In fact, renting a condo or home can save you money on hotel costs, and, whether long term or short term, it will help you get a better feel for exactly what kind of property would be right for you.

 

Another advantage is that there are services appearing to put you in direct contact with the owners of the units. This means that you are more likely to get the best prices available; when owners need to rent through an agency, they may charge more to cover the cost of paying the agency. Likewise, you will be free to negotiate directly with the owner and establish the best price that is most favorable to both of you.

 

One example of this is a recently started Playa del Carmen vacation rentals by owner page. The page allows owners to post their properties directly, with the price they choose, and provide their personal e-mail or phone number, which will allow you to put yourself in contact with them directly, without going through anyone else.

 

With the goal of buying real estate eventually, renting and living or vacationing in Mexico for a time allows you to become familiar with the area, to see what's available, and start communicating with an agent to identify properties best for your needs, at your own pace. Everyone knows that rushing a real estate decision is not a wise move, and living directly in Mexico, watching the market, you will be able to analyze, consider and evaluate on an ongoing basis, so that when the right property shows up, you can act quickly without making a hasty decision.

 

Some real estate agents will actually help you set up an arrangement like this, knowing that seeing is believing; once you're down here, you'll only be all to eager actually to get a home or condo for yourself!
