Rent for a couple of seasons before you buy. I assure you that there will always be something for sale.
Once you rent and get a feel for the neighborhood, neighbors, city and improvements, if any, then go for it if you are happy there.

As said, the 1st step is to decide on location and to try to actually live there.
Then people would normally ask - what do you think of this area and this price, local notario etc.
Unless you are packed with money so heavily that don't care about making costly mistakes.

May I say, sir, that your chosen way of communication, i.e. in receiving mode only, strikes me as odd. Though typical of people fishing for free
material for a web article.

That all sounds like good advice. Stir clear of the build-the-development-as-cash-allows operations. They don't have enough invested to hang with
the project. The odds of failure are greater when the risk (money/capital investment) is less. Be especially skeptical if they tell you they sleep
well at night because they are so honest!
