Looking for housing

Hello Michael,

I suggest you look under the housing tab at the top of the page. As for costs, what is included in your rent is usually something you negotiate with the homeowner. The homeowner of my house pays trash and water, the utilities and internet are paid by me. That's a fairly normal agreement. Furnished is more expensive and may or may not include a  t.v.
Are you aware that you need to pay an import fee on the car? You also have to have Mexican auto insurance. When you recross the border before your visa expiration the import will be refunded. There is a new president taking office soon, so some of that can change but probably not until after Dec.

Thanx TL,
I know it varies but about what does internet & Utilities run for a 1-2 br. place?  Do you use AC in the hot month.
Yeah I know about the $300 auto fee.  I forgot to stop & have it returned on my way from San Carlos to Az. last yr.

Oh yes, I use a/c but I do everything I can not to. I have ceiling fans and also standing fans. My worst bill was 5,000 pesos for 2 months, but that's not normal, someone working at the house left something on. My normal bill is around 1,000 pesos for two months. I have a 3 bdr. house, so depending on your needs your bill would perhaps be half of what mine is. I pay internet by the year and that varies also depending on your needs and the company. I use izzi and they have a basic 459 peso plan per month or other plans.
