Hello,

I was just wondering how much money would be enough for a down payment on a 2 - 3 bedroom house, somewhat close to town? Nothing fancy. No pool or anything unnecessary like that. Just a nice, clean house for a small family.

I know it's a pretty broad question that would depend on what I'm looking for exactly, but hopefully someone can give me somewhat of an estimate either in pesos or dollars.

Thanks

Obtaining a mortgage is difficult in Mexico and typically 30% or more down and interest rates about 10%, plus life insurance, property insurance and commission every month. First you need to build up a credit rating in Mexico and show money going into a MX bank account for some time. For a MX bank to loan you money your foreign credit score is not taken into consideration.
