>>2663490Not OP, but yea, for sure good point, though I doubt that they're considering illegal options, or at least I hope not.
I have looked into MX real estate and while foreigners cannot directly own land that's within 30 miles of the coast, from what I've read they can own outside of that restriction. But really, the question is 'why offgrid"? Infrastructure is there for a reason and after looking at it I'm not convinced it's any sort of shortcut and all it does is add risk and work to the process. While it can knock down some of your utility bills, you're still going to need money for property tax, insurance, and a bunch of other things. Additionally, moving away from job centers and infrastructure like the power grid, cell service, etc. is costly in and of itself.
Another issue I've seen is that people focus too much on buying land to build a house as the very first thing as you've done. Instead, picking locations and housing should actually be the very last thing and there are plenty of places that housing is fairly reasonable if you have the rest of things settled. Personally, what you actually need to focus on is the financial picture first. Get some invested capital together so it'll generate income for you. Then when you have enough, pick an area that'll "match" that income and do the move then. Maybe MX is the place for you, maybe not. Just my 2 cents.
