Good luck.
The first two years of retirement, we spent in Mexico. The expats (Americans) suggested renting the first year. There are many houses for rent in TV for cheap, in the summer, some with golf carts. Try it out first. I loved Mexico, but left due to the crime. And saved thousands because we rented.
