Checking out San Miguel de Allende

[Bay_area_Hokie]

HokieMas recommended this place as being a popular gringo expat place. It is charming to put it mildly.

I am sitting in a cafe and the American lady next to me is driving me crazy as she is trying to help a young couple figure out how to buy property in town and she won't stop talking long enough to inhale.

Be careful, Bay.
Don't lose your life, your head, your loved ones, your money.
Meh hay co not necessarily the safest place to visit, speak Ainglaise and flash pesos these days. Just sayin'.

Isn't buying property in Mexico as a gringo an incredibly bad idea?

I think there have been examples of people buying on the coasts and the property getting nationalized(aka stolen by the govt).

Real estate is pretty cheap here as I don't think there is a mortgage industry.

Probably depends on how valuable it is. Isn't it basically written into their law, though?

Took a walk to see where the 1% here live. Lots of nice property at the top of the hill. Check out all the construction. I wonder if it is Americans or Mexicans buying.


Lots of cribs like these. I wonder if locals or gringos own these
