Have you ever been to Mexico, and if so, where? Did you like it? What about Mexico is appealing to you? Do you need to be near an airport for easy trips back? Do you prefer bigger cities or smaller? Do you want to be near a beach? Does it have to be warm all the time, or could live at higher altitudes that are cooler in the winter?
That might help to narrow things down.
Yes, Ive been to Mexico a couple of times. I did training in Reynosa for 2 years when I was in the military. I constantly hear how the US dollar will go a lot further in Mexico. Im a single man, all my kids are grown & married now so its really dont make any reason to limit my lifestyle & the purchasing power of the US dollar. So, its makes economical sense to move if I can get more for my money should I want to build or make good investments in order to live comfortable in Mexico.
I would prefer a warmer climate but Ill go to where I can maximize the dollar while taking safety in consideration. I do apologize for sending you that message but another person ask me about marriage which caught me off guard.

I strongly urge you to rent a place to live in Mexico, as opposed to investing.
Ok, thank you so much. Do you have any realtors in mind or when you out can you jot down potential rental options that may be available in your outings. Thanks again
I suggest you look for a place locally, that is, after you arrive and found a city or town you like. San Miguel de Allende, Oaxaca, and Merida all have English libraries, and these can be helpful in finding a place to live in those communities.
I think you need to spend some time traveling around the country and seeing what areas work best for you. I've been to Reynosa but not since 1979, border towns are really very different than the interior. Do you speak Spanish?
Imagine if someone said to you, "I want to move the USA, where should I live?" and gave not much detail -- that's sort of what you're doing, albeit with Mexico. Like the USA, Mexico has many different climates (dry, tropical, mountain, desert), types of living (rural, big city, small city), etc. So really I think you need to spend some time traveling the country finding what best suits you.
Ok, that makes a lot of sense. I'm reading how Expats never visited but decisions was based on referrals from other Americans who live in Mexicans, like Jerry Brown and other expats. I agree on what you said. Its always to actually visit and find the best place that's compatible to me & my needs.
