Want to see how the guide actually thinks?
Before you buy, you can read a complete sample chapter from Living in Mexico. It walks through common myths about Mexico and shows how this guide separates rumor, media distortion, and half-truths from what actually matters when planning a move.
Most people make at least one major mistake when relocating — and many of those mistakes are expensive, dangerous, or irreversible.
The problem is simple:
They assume Mexico works the same way their home country does.
But it doesn’t. Not even close.
People sign leases without understanding tenant laws.
They wire money incorrectly and lose thousands overnight.
They buy homes with latent defects — termites, wiring issues, structural problems — because inspections work differently here.
They move into areas that look safe on Google Maps but sit directly on earthquake faults or high-crime pockets.
They misunderstand residency rules, make one wrong statement at the consulate, and get denied for years.
They accidentally trigger tax liabilities in both countries by misunderstanding FEIE, FBAR, Mexican tax residency, and foreign-earned income rule
