Now that MEXLend offers loans in Mexico that are suited to almost any potential buyer, it has never been easier to buy a house in Mexico. It’s common to get swept up in the excitement of looking for homes for sale in Mexico, but how do you know which properties in Mexico are really going to be right for you? We have some tips for finding your dream home.

• Separate your needs from your wants
Things like your budget may mean that not everything on your dream home list is going to be realistic. To be really happy with your purchase, identify the things that you really need to be happy in your home from the things that would be nice, but are not essential.

• Use your realtor’s expertise and knowledge
A good realtor will be able to point you in the direction of the neighborhoods that will best suit you lifestyle needs. They will also have insider knowledge about construction, transportation projects, businesses or schools that are scheduled to come to your neighborhood in the future, which may have an effect on your property value.

• Be honest with yourself
When buying a vacation or retirement home, especially in a foreign country, think carefully about what will really be the things that will make you feel the most happy and comfortable in the long term. For example, that secluded beach bungalow may seem like the ideal retreat, but will it still be as charming for you when making the hour long drive to the grocery store once a week?

The great news is that there is a huge variety of properties available in popular and diverse cities across the country including properties in Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Cancun and San Miguel de Allende and MEXLend can help you secure home financing from coast to coast.
