Should I buy or rent a home in Lake Chapala?

Answer this Question

If you have not spent a lot of time in Lake Chapala, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...

"Buying a home in Lake Chapala can be a great investment. With stabilized economies and a reasonably high standard of living, the area has seen steady growth over the last decade. The cost of living is relatively low, with high quality housing more affordable than many other locations. Additionally, rental properties in the area are becoming more popular as an income source for many residents and there are financial incentives for investing in real estate. Before making a decision, it is important to consider your lifestyle needs and financial goals, as each future homeowner will have different needs for their new home," commented one expat who made the move to Lake Chapala, Mexico.
