We are a couple in our early 30's with an infant looking to get out of the US. We have been interested in Uruguay for some time now. We are going to take a trip soon to check it out. We were hoping to pay cash for a starter house down there. About 100-120k would be our budget. We are hoping to get jobs there. My Wife has a Masters in education, but does not speak much Spanish. I am an electrician who is competent in many construction trades. I speak enough Spanish for that type of work (conversational, but barely). We are both actively improving our Spanish, but such things take time.
Questions
1) Is it realistic to think that we can find work.
2) Is the real estate climate conducive to buying a fixer upper, fixing it up with my own labor, then selling it a couple years later for a profit like one can do in the states?
3) Is there a recommended area for that budget (probably near Montevideo?) 100-120k.
4) Could we buy a house first, then work on our immigration status?
Thanks in advance for any help.
