Considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before a buyer invests in having land prepared, designing a home or taking any other concrete step towards owning and construction, there are a few basic considerations a buyer needs to make.\u00c2\u00a0 They can be summed up in 3 main points:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li><strong><em>Know what they want<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Know their budget<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Find a professional builder<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These three concepts are essentially the same as they would be in the U.S. or Canada, but carry greater importance since the buyer will be in a new country and probably working from a distance.\u00c2\u00a0 They don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t necessarily have to be done in this order, but they before any concrete action is taken, these three items should be in place.<\/p>\n<p>In the case that a buyer invests in a lot in a prepared development, where lots are ready for building, they can invest in the lot before finding the builder; however, in this case, they should be sure that their real estate agent is aware of their basic building plans and budget, so they can investigate and comment on the appropriateness any given lot.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow, we will look at each of these considerations more carefully.\u00c2\u00a0 In the mean time, I invite you read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/mexico-real-estate-guide\/Building-Your-Home-in-Mexico\/\" target=\"_blank\">kit on building your home in Mexico<\/a> to get a peak at the full series of articles ahead of time!<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thomas Lloyd<\/strong><em> graduated from Purdue University Krannert School of Management with a degree in Management\/Financial Option Investments.
