I assume you mean a house. Yes a very nice house, even for less .... but much more likely to find it in the Morelia area. The Tijuana border area and Morelia couldn't be much different so wonder why those are your options. Different in climate, elevation and costs of everything.

Nobody makes much in Mexico but with a paid for house and a modest lifestyle you should do fine. Unless you teach English you'll need to be fluent in Spanish to work in Mexico .... if you can even find a job.

Taxes are low, electricity is high, gas (both) is reasonable, medical care is good and cheap.

If you don't know how money is exchanged it sounds like you need to make your first Mexico visit for a few weeks to each area you're interested
