MEXICO BEACH HOUSE RENTAL
Who Rents Homes In Mexico?
Renting homes in Mexico is easy to do and the inventory has become more plentiful and also more affordable in some instances depending on the region and time of year. However, that could be changing. Let’s explore several of the reasons why and who may be causing this to happen. In general terms the entire country of Mexico has been suffering from the negative press field day being held at every opportunity by the media regarding the drug wars in Mexico. In spite of this negative press Mexico is still experiencing positive economic growth overall as an emerging economy, while the USA economy is slipping.
By far the most compelling reason people rent Homes in Mexico is for vacationing families or friends that want to stay in a home style environment together to cook and party in the privacy of a strategically located beach pad. Another plus to Renting Homes in Mexico are the washers and dryers in these homes so you can wash clothes to avoid over packing and laundry costs. I have also come across some migrating Ex-pats from the USA and Canada who want to rent for six months or up to a year in the area they are considering to buy a home to retire in. If the area ultimately suits them they plan on buying after living in the community and getting a feel for the area and that is starting to affect some availability for certain rental property types.
Other reasons people are “renting homes in Mexico” is to travel to different regions for extended stays for two or three months at a time then move on to another region. Some of these folks are looking for a place to ultimately settle down while others may be taking in the culture of the region, taking art or cooking classes or Spanish and some move around for the best seasonal climate. Retirees who do not have time restraints are really gravitating to this method because they can shop for food on the local economy and cook meals in their temporary home and economize as well as to have home cooked meals they like. Another reason is to have friends and family join them from time to time on their trek across Mexico.
MEXICO BEACH HOUSE RENTAL
As you start investigating “Renting Homes in Mexico” there is certainly no lack of listings and by many authorized and honest real estate agents and home owners that run good businesses and you can rely on them to provide you with a clean abode that is well maintained as advertised. What many of the best rental property owners count on is return ability and referrals to keep their property booked in the peak tourist seasons and beyond.
Testimonials from happy customers are sometimes posted on the internet site advertising the property. If you feel a reference would help you make up your mind ask the agent or owner for a contact reference you can call or e-mail that has been there in the past 3 to 6 months.
Show Me The Money
The moment of commitment to secure your rental home will require a deposit payment in advance. Most of the property managers and owners have PayPal accounts to facilitate the financial
transaction. Though this is a safe way to send and receive money it is not 100% full proof that your deal is not going to be subject to some dispute as to your ultimate satisfaction of the home upon your arrival. By in large there are few disputes as these property owners are dependent on you to make their real estate investment pay off for them and therefore they are motivated to make the business transaction and customer satisfaction a priority.
The properties that are in highest demand during peak season are hard to get if you do not book very early and post your deposit. The owners and property managers prompt their return customers to reserve the home early for next years season so it is off the market in peak seasons. So if you find a place that fits your needs and you want to return next year offer to make a deposit early for a discount to assure you and the landlord you both have a solid deal for next season.
The Big O
PACK WELL PLAN WELL
If you are a first timer as far as “Renting Homes in Mexico” you need to prepare to set fourth on your adventure with a plan prior to leaving on your trip as it is much different than a resort hotel vacation and it requires planning in detail. The following suggestions may help you plan your BIG trip that is well “ORGANIZED” so you can spend your vacation time relaxing and enjoying the time with family and friends instead of running all over town looking for the things you could have brought from home. This will save you stress as well as money and time, but you have to be smart about the packing as extra bags cost money so what ever you pack has to justify the price of the bag charge and you must keep the weight of the bag within the weight allowed by the airline to avoid additional fees for excess weight. The extra bag that is used for the items you plan to eat while there can be used for souvenirs for the return trip.
