At present housing is running between $400-$600 a month for a fair-sized (3-bedroom) unfinished house. A 1-2 month deposit is usually required plus the first month's rent.

If necessary, help will be available to help you find housing and get you settled in. At times you can find houses furnished to an extent.

Basic furnishings will run about $2,500--beds, stove, refrigerator, chairs, etc.

It is advisable to bring a washing machine but not the dryer. Be prepared to pay customs and declare what you have. Save receipts to present if asked.

Other:
Vehicle insurance is to be purchased at the border (we recommend Sanborn's) before entering Mexico - $350-$400 per year (approximately, depending on the value of the vehicle). If your vehicle is fairly new, it will cost more than $400 per year. There are cheaper companies.

Passport, and visa costs must be planned for as well.
