Real Expat Finance 

Hi, I'm Alex. I’m a property owner in Mérida, Yucatán and also in Bogotá, Colombia.

After buying and living in both places, I created Real Expat Finance to give Americans and Canadians the real numbers and practical advice most channels skip.

Here you’ll find Honest 2026 Budgets, Relocation Strategies, Healthcare Costs, Real Estate Warnings, and Rental Tips focused on Mexico and Colombia. Whether you’re testing the lifestyle on a tourist visa or already have residency, I show you exactly what it costs and how to do it safely.

New videos Thursday, plus bonus uploads!

I don’t promote real estate or earn kickbacks. Every recommendation, budget, and info I share comes from my own experience and real 2026 math.

If you want straightforward advice from someone who actually owns property here, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for being here — happy to help you plan your next chapter abroad!
