Thinking of moving to GTO in December, expat family from Atlanta

@mcnally del campo thank you so much for replying. I have read a lot of threads on this forum, I started from the very beginning. To answer your question about my family in Guadalajara, I have asked them for their opinion. However I take theirs with a grain of salt. I’m the only one in my big family that graduated high school and college. My mom lives here in Atlanta with her husband and she has a very tainted memory of Mexico. The only places she will visit are the resorts lol. My aunts that live in Guadalajara live in poverty stricken areas, which naturally sees a lot of crime. Especially with the cartels. Since I know that’s not where I want to live, I don’t want to rely too heavy on their opinion. However they have all said how beautiful and treasured GTO is :) In regards to school, that is good to know about the age. Our son is 1, so hopefully we have time with that. I know my questions were broad, I just have so many and I didn’t want to overwhelm the reader right from the start.

@winnifred thank you for sharing the links and resources. I will definitely look into them. I did see the rentals on Vivanuncios, but like roberb7 said they are pretty pricey or far out of the center. Which makes me wonder what is the average acceptable monthly price in your opinion. What is too much? I have seen that a lot of properties are owned by professional air bnb people who don’t even live in GTO, those are usually more expensive.
