Hi guys. I just read an article about the number of Americans and Canadians retired in Mexico. It's amazing. About a million have homes in Mexico.

For that reason, there's people traveling to and from Mexico, and sometimes leave their Mexican homes alone. So, locals have invented the concept of housesitting, which basically means that a homeowner leaves his home entitled to someone else (a housesitter), while he is away. Of course, there's some kind of agreement between the parts, that contemplates responsibilities and obligations. You'll be very well covered.

This innovative practice allows you to avoid burglars. It's mostly like a lease, where you decide to charge or not (in this case, since it's not commercial, and you're not planning to declare you're income, let's suppose it's a free ride). You would also decide who qualifies to be a house sitter and the final candidate, as well as any other arrangements to be protected.

Even when you don't receive a payment, you can receive benefits like free maintenance, and your housesitter can take care of paying taxes, repairing, etc. And on top of that, the tranquility that you'll be traveling back and forth without remorses.

The sitter can even take your mail, and resend it to you somewhere else, or even inform you about events going on with the house. You could even have birds and, the sitter is taking good care of them.

So this could be a great option for people who want to own a house in Mexico, take a vacation, and travel, without the preoccupation of burglars in your home.
