$21,000 for 2 Bedroom House: Early Retirement in Mexico is Possible on Small Pension w/ Cheap House

[@angelg6068]

Thanks Cartess for showing that Merida has houses for every budget.

[@jimmey011]

Ty ! So great to see if your on a tight budget you can still get a house and not have to worry about rent increases. That's us tight budget so nice to see you can make it work. Thank you again. Loved seeing what's available and most certainly these cheap houses can be fixed up,

[@lillianbrown4254]

Great showing thanks again to a well job done. You are the best.

[@sylvianewell9486]

Both homes just needed a some renovation, and they are livable. Thank you Cartess for showing what's available if your willing to put in some work.

[@mikeA2010]

Thank you my brother n sister! Great video. Same just north of Puerto Vallarta...more affordable in Nayarit. Shop like a Mexican and stay out of Walmart and Costco!

[@johnwelch3016]

Here's the thing you can fix up that little house.. just for starters 😉 add a get away place to get your beak wet.. and take your time fixing it up for 21000 or $23,000 and can still be able to drive to that little house just to get away from America as a starter for that price you can't beat good information keep doing what you're doing because people are struggling in America right now so funny

[@Sheila-sx2sq]

I've seen some of the "affordable housing" small-home communities for locals over near Playa del Carmen--a few years after completion...you might want to go see what they look like once "settled"-filled in. Wild west. People living outdoors mostly, opening up businesses in their parking areas, it wasn't pretty,,,just a heads up. Would not appeal to most Americans.

[@jodibraun6383]

I jusr love that you show so many different areas. So far you've shown a wider variety of places to live in that corner of the Yucatán than any other KZbinr. It's great! Thank you! 😊

[@dhobby7771]

Man, put good A/C in those cribs and live the good life. ATB from sunny Cancun! 😎

[@josealberto890]

I sincerely admire what you are doing. I have been thinking about driving to Mexico and taking a personal look for myself. I agree 100% with what you are saying about that town you are showing us. I presently live in south Florida. Moved down many years ago from Brooklyn, New York. My birth place is Puerto Rico and it is definitely very expensive to live there. I honestly believe some towns in Mexico, would be the ideal place for people on social security, especially veterans, which I am one. Please, please...would you kindly tell us ALL, how YOU got to discover Merida, and how long ago. Do you come and go from the u.s.? Tell us your whole story, okay? Thank you very much! Sincerely, Joe.

[@CuratedVibes]

This is what I need....a simple starter home to get out of paying rent. I can make take my time for the improvement while saving up and not be stressed out.

[@keithwilliams4781w]

What realtors can i contact to buy one?

[@MoveAbroadandThrive]

These are gone.... But contact me if you're looking for something like these: [e-mail]

Thank you for this video!

[@cindyk3076]

It's nice to know that you can get a home in a range of prices, thanks!

[@Suziecat]

That’s not a bad spot for $21,000

[@Sogal60]

I could make both of those small homes fabulous!

[@Dimmer333]

What can you get fot $50 to $75,000 American?

[@jackbaldwin3649]

I want to see this also.

[@sonya5568]

Nice. Folks act as if they need to have a huge home. I would want to know is it high enough off the ground if it flooded? Also, what does car insurance usually run out there for those that may want a car? Folks would have to sell their car in the IS or is it an option to either drive there or ship it? We all know insurance in the states can be ridiculous so I was just curious. Thanks for all that you do.

[@Mr-lw7gy]

I pay about $600 for top end car insurance with a broker that has English agents. (2018 VE Vento) I have had to test this insurance twice, unfortunately, and been happy so far.

[@lornawade9465]

Hi Curtess, I was told that you cant buy property in Mexico. I love Merida Yucatan. And it is a place I could live.

[@MoveAbroadandThrive]

All lies 🤥🤥🤥 Foreigners can buy land, they do it everyday. There are some stipulations for those living near the beach , or near border towns, but you can buy real estate estate. I see it happening regularly

[@paulbucklebuckle4921]

Great stuff Cartess , 😎

[@rayofsunshine107h]

My only concern would be continous flooding

[@robertalexander2478]

Oh yes!!! This the area I want you to show me! I’m signing up!!!! Gimme That!!!

[@peggygordon5026]

Very nice!

[@ar6888]

There any neighbourhoods with baseball diamonds or basketball courts, tennis courts?

[@keithwilliams4781w]

Can I buy it in the US and have someone rent the place out for me?

[@jackbaldwin3649]

My thought as well.

This reminds me a lot like the house my dad has in Playas de Tijuana

[@jemelajiminez1736]

Its the water damage for me

[@jackbaldwin3649]

Easy to mitigate unless there's extensive damage. It didn't look extensive.

[@MrJrweir]

😂 can't get away from "pollo". If the zoning allows, with that back yard overtime you can make yourself a comfy home. It's a money saver.

[@naturalra4651]

[@angelapriddy6308]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@Swim136]

Please learn the culture in Mexico. These are calm happy trusting people. Dont encourage people to running from bullets… they will not be as loving an happy and trusuing … don’t ruin the attitude in Mexican communities! That concerns me! Respect the culture that is so.beautiful and sincere. It will ruin their culture. You are in their Culture … you accept & learn to live their ways! PASS IT and GUVE BACK. Not JUST TAKE. These people not GREEDY.

Hey Cortez, I need a serious plan for my arrival to Mexico by February ❤ How can I get started? THANKS 👍 ❤️ 😊 🫂 🙏

Perfect for 21k , its not Cookie cutter neighborhood like in usa but what is not pretty and cookie cutter is when you have to pay rent or mortgage in usa with the fake inflated prices , imagine getting up every 1st of the month rent or mortgage free 😊😊😊

[@justintrud9800]

If the houses are next door to each other, I would love to make a $35k offer for both.

[@Sogal60]

I may have missed it but where are the houses located in Merida?

[@MoveAbroadandThrive]

Right outside of the Merida perimeter in a neighborhood called "Mulchechen"

[@trevorhenriques7733]

@@MoveAbroadandThrive, Cartess, There are several of these recently built out in Gran San Jose Kanasin area. A local person I met told me his cost $19,000 USD new. However, I am not sure if these are available to expats. My Spanish still needs work so i was not able to understand from him if the new ones out there are only available to Mexicans. He did manage to explain that it was being done through a housing program pushed by the Mexican President (AMLO) and the current administration as they seek to make home ownership more available to people of modest means. Quite a few were still under construction when I visited just after Christmas. You might want to check that area to see if you can find information on those for your viewers.
