Here are my rules on real estate:
1. Wait until you are in the area you want to relocate to, then pursue the real estate with multiple (US/Mexican) companies.
2. Rent for at least 6 months and learn what you want as far as culture, location, price, etc.
3. Leave all your options as to where you want to live open, and never, never, never rush to buy. EEK!

I'm with EEK, except I'd say a year. See how you like rainy season, for instance.

I do know someone who bought on impulse and was happy about it, but that is rare. He was very lucky and bought just before a real estate boom, so saved tons of money.
