Plan B

My predial and fidecomiso fees over those years have come nowhere near my property taxes alone in Canada.

If it isn't too much of an imposition, how would you compare the total costs of your Mexican property with the alternative of renting for six months of the year? When people ask me why I don't buy a property in Zihua, I reply that renting is just so cheap and easy. Of course, I am only staying a week or so at a time about 4 or 5 times per year.

I’ll take a stab at that.
NOTHING beats ownership… IF IF IF you can afford it.
And if you’re dumb lucky… as I was…then my property (condo) almost doubled in value in 5 years.
It’s not why I bought it.
I didn’t even see it as an ‘investment’… well maybe an investment in my health and we’ll being…
