#1 – There are literally thousands of options when it comes to buying property in Mexico – from very cheap to luxury, there are numerous homes and condos to choose from. You can actually purchase a property for under $50,000. something that you are less likely to find in the U.S. or Canada. Even though the prices of properties in Mexico have risen in the recent years, the houses here are still cheaper than in many other countries.

#2 – Quality health care at affordable prices – it is a known fact that health care in Mexico is less expensive than in the U.S., but this does not mean that you will benefit from poor services.

The Mexican medical system has recently been ranked on par with that of the U.S, but you will notice savings of up to 70% on medical services in this country.

#3 – Low cost of living – If you decide to live in Mexico, you will soon notice savings in about all your regular expenses, including utility bills, groceries, large-ticket purchases, group outings and more.
