By Suzanne Mcgee | Money

In the summer of 2012, Brad Johnson and his wife joined the thousands of Americans who each year decide to spend their retirement years living overseas.

They rented out their house in Phoenix, Ariz., got a six-month tourist visa that they anticipated renewing indefinitely, packed up their two cars, and set off southward, to the first of a series of rental homes in and around Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. “It was absolutely wonderful,” says Johnson, now 70 years old.

The Johnsons had travelled in Mexico before and welcomed the chance to put down roots in a place they enjoyed, with a lower cost of living that would help them stretch their savings. They had plenty of company: as of August, some 680,000 beneficiaries received Social Security payments at foreign addresses, the best way to gauge the trend of retiring overseas.

What’s tougher to determine is how many of those overseas adventurers become boomerang expatriates, as happened to the Johnsons. Less than two and a half years after making their move to Mexico, they were back in the United States, dividing their time between Phoenix and Stockton, Calif., where Johnson’s mother-in-law, in her 90s, needed their help. Four years after their return, there are more ties keeping them in the United States: two grandchildren, ages two years and two months. It has changed Johnson’s idea of retirement. “We planned for a lot of stuff, but not for my wife realizing that her mother needed her eldest daughter back in Stockton,” Johnson says.

While there’s plenty of guidance available for wannabe expats on everything from picking the right destination to ensuring that you don’t mess up your taxes, there’s scant advice available for “boomerang” retirees who decide to move back home after a few years or after a decade or two. The best time to prepare for a possible return is before you leave in the first place.

“Very few people plan for this scenario, and they should — because the reality is that the kind of lifestyle that is right for you in your 60s or 70s may no longer be what you want or need in your 80s or 90s,” cautions David Kuenzi, founding partner of Thun Financial Partners of Madison, Wis., a financial planning firm that specializes in working with expatriate Americans of all ages, including retirees. He believes that of those who move overseas in retirement, we can expect to see “a surprising number” reconsider as they grapple with health problems or decide that they want to be closer to friends or family in the final decade or so of their life.

Ric Edelman, a financial advisor in Fairfax, Va., agrees. He had one client move abroad in his retirement, only to return to the United States within a year. “It was a very costly and disruptive period of his life that took two or three years to sort out,” Edelman says.

The Johnsons were fortunate. While they hadn’t made any formal plans for their re-entry, circumstances nonetheless contributed to a smooth return. They were gone only about two years and hadn’t gotten around to selling their house in Phoenix. They had returned every six months, to renew their Mexican tourist visas, and had therefore maintained their social ties in the U.S. Moving back may have thrown a wrench into their hopes and dreams, but it didn’t impose big financial costs.

Don’t Forget Uncle Sam

Other families might not be so lucky. Medicare late enrollment penalties are one potential minefield for returnees. Say you joyfully relocate to Costa Rica at the age of 65 with the intent of living there for the rest of your life, and so don’t bother to enroll in Medicare. But later you move back — perhaps you are widowed and lonely, or perhaps you have a medical condition that simply can’t be treated there as well as it could back in the U.S. Medicare Part B, which covers outpatient services, will require you to pay a 10% annual penalty for each year you should have enrolled, but didn’t, for the rest of your lifetime. Many financial advisors recommend that you sign up and maintain that coverage, just in case. This was less of a concern for the Johnsons, since they have separate retiree medical coverage through Yvonne’s former job as a federal government employee.

Also, don’t forget your tax obligations. Wherever you are in the world, you will have to file a tax return annually to the IRS, documenting all of your worldwide income: your Social Security payments, your investment income, any distributions from your retirement accounts, and any employment income you’re earning from a job with a local employer. Picked up a gig as a bartender on the beach? Be prepared to tell the IRS all about it. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion means you won’t have to pay tax on the first $104,100 of any employment earnings you collect from that work, however.

Pay particular attention to state taxes, says Jonathan Lachowitz, founder of White Lighthouse Investment Management in Lexington, Mass., and an expert on cross-border financial issues. Florida is one of a handful of states that doesn’t collect a state income tax, while California and some others may treat you as if you never left if you come back within two years and could charge you state income taxes for the years that you were gone, Lachowitz says.

Don’t Cut Your Ties Back Home

When you first move, don’t sell your house immediately — and don’t commit to buying a new home immediately, either. “It’s always easier to buy a home than it is to sell,” cautions Edelman. It can be much more costly and expensive to sell that house you bought overseas than you expect, with special taxes and fees attached to the transaction. Meanwhile, renting for the first few years helps ensure that one potential reason for “boomeranging” — picking the wrong retirement location — doesn’t come with too big a penalty.

Keep your financial “home” back in the United States. It helps to have an existing relationship with a U.S. financial institution if you repatriate. “You can’t take your financial life with you, or you will have problems,” warns Kuenzi. Make sure to update your estate planning documents to reflect your current situation and jurisdiction.

Then there are the “soft” issues. If you do decide to repatriate, recognize that your life now may be different from the life you left behind when you moved abroad. Your experiences may have changed your views and attitudes; your needs, too, may have changed. That will affect everything from the kind of house you live in to your interactions with your former social circle.

“The key message that I hope all of the people who are rushing off to Mexico and other destinations would learn is that life has a lot of surprises in store, and whatever you think today, your plans may change,” says Kuenzi. “So part of planning when you leave should involve at least the possibility that you might return.”

That’s something that the Johnsons now understand. After one overseas retirement adventure, today they’re in no hurry to do more than spend more time with their family in the United States and contemplate what comes next. Rather than relocating somewhere permanently, they are now considering future trips to Mexico or other international locales. “We’ll take it as it comes,” Johnson says.

By Jean Folger | Investopedia

More and more Americans are retiring abroad to enjoy better weather, new experiences and relaxed lifestyles, as well as access to affordable health care and a lower cost of living. Mexico is a popular destination because it offers all this – plus it’s close enough to home that travel back and forth to the States to visit friends and family (and for them to visit you) is relatively easy and reasonably priced.

A primary consideration when deciding on a retirement location is what it’s going to cost. Here, we take a quick look at how much money you might need to retire comfortably in Mexico.

Lifestyle Matters

No matter where you retire – at home or abroad – how you retire greatly affects the amount of money you’ll need. It’s possible to retire in Mexico on a fraction of what one would need in the United States if you are willing to live modestly in a small apartment, eat simple meals at home, and forgo some of the comforts and conveniences you may be used to back home. Alternatively, you could easily spend $10,000-plus a month living large in an exclusive beachside community and taking full advantage of the myriad fine dining, entertainment and travel opportunities.

Most people who retire abroad won’t fall into either extreme, seeking a comfortable lifestyle that still keeps them on a reasonable budget. To achieve this in Mexico, a retired couple might be looking at the following monthly costs. Note that this level of budget in Mexico permits renting a house with three-times-a-week maid service and a weekly gardener:

So for roughly $2,155 a month, or about $25,860 per year, a couple could retire comfortably in Mexico. And depending on the exchange rate between the peso and the U.S. dollar, Americans might be able to stretch their retirement budget even further. The average monthly benefit for a retired couple is $2,340, according to 2018 data from the Social Security Administration. That adds up to $28,080 each year – just enough to cover this budget.

Of course, retirement costs vary from person to person, and your costs could be lower or significantly higher than these estimates depending on your situation, lifestyle choices and any unforeseen expenses. And, keep in mind that these estimates don’t include expenses such as traveling to/from your retirement destination, moving your household, emergencies and taxes.

Ways to Save

One way to save is through Mexico’s retirement benefits program. If you are 60 or older and have a Mexico resident visa, you are eligible for Mexico’s Instituto Nacional para las Personas Adultas Mayores (INAPAM) benefits program. This program provides discounts of 10% to 50% on a variety of services, including health care (dental work, doctor visits, hospitals, lab work, medical devices and pharmacies); cultural activities such as archeological sites, museums and the theater; transportation (including airfare, bus fare, car rentals and car purchases); and hotels.

Another important way to control costs is to find out where the locals shop and go there. Get to know the local vendors and farmers, and learn where you can buy things at the “local” rate instead of the “tourist” rate. Remember, you’re not on vacation. It might be OK to splurge while on a short vacation, but if you live like that every day, it’s easy to burn through your entire retirement budget.

The Bottom Line

Retiring in Mexico might be a good choice for those looking to enjoy new experiences and cultures, access to affordable health care, a change of scenery and a lower cost of living. Since life outside the United States can be very different from what you may be accustomed to, it’s helpful to have an adventurous spirit and open mind to fully enjoy and appreciate the experience.

Be aware that some regions of Mexico are safer than others. It’s especially important in Mexico to research regions you’re considering before you move, use common sense, and avoid (or use extra caution) in areas with active travel alerts and warnings

Visa and residency requirements, plus taxes (both in Mexico and U.S. tax regulations for citizens living abroad) can be complicated. It makes sense to work with a qualified attorney and/or tax specialist when making plans to retire outside the United States.

In 2015, the Pulso del Investista Global survey, conducted by BlackRock, indicated that only 16% of Mexicans invests in real estate. You may wonder then, why do some people insist that it is a good investment?

   Investments in real estate are very reliable because they generate tangible value and competitive returns. According to data from the newspaper Reforma, in 2017, the price of housing, at least in Mexico City, doubled its value compared to the previous 5 years. This represents an annual growth rate of 15%, which exceeds inflation, GDP and reference rates (an indicator that reflects part of the country’s economic conditions); in a considerable way.

Several analysts say that this growth is due to a real estate bubble; however, there are many indicators that allow us to affirm that the real estate market is attractive and stable. This is due, among other factors, to the concentration of economic activities, the price of land, the legal aspects of construction, the guarantees of mortgage loans and the supply and demand of real estate; factors why investing in real estate may be a good idea. Here we talk about each one of them.

1. Concentration of economic activities
Although the economy is growing at a low rate, estimated at 2.3%, large cities have an important economic development, which implies some stability for companies and employees, who remain in the same places of work.

For example, Mexico City has 17.1 million inhabitants, but it is estimated that, every day, more than two million people travel from the neighboring states to the city to work or study. This represents a kind of daily migration to the city, which, in turn, motivates a definitive migration.

For its part, the Conapo has registered that, in the last 10 years, at least 2 million national migrants and nearly 100 thousand foreigners have settled in Mexico City. It is expected that this figure will continue to grow in the near future and, therefore, more places will be required to establish themselves.

2. The price of land
The price of land increases to a greater extent in urban centers where there is a shortage of space for construction. The land available is not only quoted in square meters, but in cubic meters, that is, the price of the land is determined depending on the number of floors that can be built. For example, in Mexico City, in the areas near Paseo de la Reforma, the prices of the departments reach figures of up to 100 thousand pesos per square meter.

3. Legal aspects of construction

In many parts of our country, building regulations indicate that buildings must have the highest standards of quality and safety, due to the seismic risk. As a result, more time is required to carry out procedures, planning and construction; better materials and better trained workforce are needed; which increases the value of the house.

4. Mortgage loans: real estate bubble control
After the various crises caused by mortgage loans, especially in the United States, the regulations of the Mexican financial system and the financial entities themselves have established stricter control measures. When granting a mortgage loan, banks are obliged to provide important economic guarantees to the Bank of Mexico to guarantee the liquidity and stability of the system.

According to Leopoldo Riquelme, marketing and business strategist, we are far from falling into a mortgage bubble, like the one that happened in 2008 in the United States, which originated, among other causes, due to the granting of NINJA loans (No Income , No Job, No Assets). That is, people without income could request more than one mortgage at the same time. We are also far from seeing in our stock market “junk bonds”, which transfer the risk of mortgage default from one financial institution to another.

5. Law of supply and demand
It is evident that, for example, in Mexico City there will be a high demand for housing for a long time. We can see the incessant construction of real estate developments that are even sold in pre-sale, that is, before finishing its construction.

On the other hand, after the September 2017 earthquakes, Alejandro Kuri, president of the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI), affirmed that the sale and rent prices were maintained after an immediate demand was generated for more than 10 thousand homes. He also assured that less than 1% of real estate agents were affected and the sector will have a growth of 4%, which has been maintained for the last 4 years. This stable growth is an indicator of a healthy market and far from a mortgage crisis.

Due to these 5 reasons, in 2018 we will have a solid property market in which we can invest and obtain very good returns. If you think that to invest in real estate you need large sums of capital, do not worry, in our next articles, we will show you that there are real estate investment options for all kinds of budgets.

The confidence of tourists and the foreign community in Playas de Rosarito, mainly from the United States, in terms of security has caused the municipality to exceed the figure of 14,000 North American residents, and that in recent years they continue adding a greater number of foreigners who prefer to reside in this locality, considering it a “safe and quiet place to live and vacation”.

Likewise, the percentage of tourist influx and hotel occupancy in recent years has been exceeded, since in 2015 the inflow compared to 2014 increased by 19%, which contrasts with the travel alerts issued in a cyclical manner by the Department. of State in the American Union, which are only preventive recommendations, as they are issued to any other tourist destination, even within the United States.
