For the past 5 years the plan has been to retire in Hong Kong where hubby is from. We just returned Saturday from a week in Jamaica where we were looking at possibly retiring there because housing is so cheap. The thought only lasted a few days because after some basic research we found out that we cannot take our dog so we will not go without her.
We are returning to Cozumel in November (and again for a week in January) and wondered about retiring there instead. Housing seems reasonable from the few searches I have done on the Internet and of course the diving is SO MUCH BETTER than in Jamaica. Also is seems like we can bring our dog so now we are wondering if Cozumel might be a good fit.
Is there any SB'ers out there who are Canadian and have immigrated/retired in Cozumel? Would love to hear your thoughts. I thought I read somewhere that foreigners can't own property in Mexico. Is that true? Is that real property with a house or does it include condos as well?
Is there a website with this information? I found one but it is for Americans moving to Mexico so it is not valid for us.
I appreciate any help anyone can provide.
Thanks in advance
