The Shovel Ready podcast is an English extension of the column "El Administrador" written by Roberto Ordorica.
The administration of condominiums in Mexico requires trained professionals who can efficiently manage resources and ensure compliance with regulations. However, some managers face threats and intimidation from abusive owners seeking personal benefits.
The purchase of a home in Mexico City is one of the most important financial decisions for a family, particularly due to the high cost of land and the limited availability of space. Many opt for apartments because of their amenities, but often focus on aesthetics and common areas, without evaluating key aspects such as the electrical infrastructure, mechanical rooms, or the condition of water pumps. This lack of analysis can lead to long-term problems, such as costly unforeseen repairs and extraordinary fees.
Over time, the belief has taken hold that not owning a home is synonymous with personal or economic failure, an idea that overlooks the realities and decisions of many Mexican families. In this episode, we analyze how renting can be a strategic and viable option, far from what is commonly perceived as a sign of failure.
Choosing between a newly built apartment or one that has been previously occupied can be a challenge. Although it is traditionally believed that a new apartment is synonymous with quality and deserves a higher price, this notion can be misleading. Newly constructed properties may conceal defects or delays in delivery, while a well maintained previously occupied apartment can be a safer and more reliable option. Furthermore, the immediate availability and certainty of what is being acquired are advantages of a previously owned property.
The purchase of a home in pre-sale represents the acquisition of a promise that often does not materializes as expected. While the idea of moving into a new home is appealing, there are risks such as delays in delivery, construction defects, and unforeseen costs. To avoid unpleasant surprises, professional management and proper maintenance are essential. Beyond the initial construction, the tire value of a home lies in its preservation and the peace of mind it provides to its inhabitants over time.
In the field of property management in Mexico, it is essential to address the dilemma between gratitude and professional ethics. Unlike the traditional practice of tripping workers of a condominium, there are companies that prohibit tips and instead offer competitive salaries, performance bonuses and seniority rewards, ensuring air and equitable compensation for their staff.

As Roberto Ordorica points out in his column "El Administrador," rent-to-own emerges as an alternative for those who dream of acquiring a home in Mexico. This contractual model allows residents to rent a property for a specified period with the option to purchase at the end of the established term.
In a world characterized by trade disputes, high inflation, fluctuating exchange rates, and geopolitical conflicts, investing in rental apartments emerges as a robust and multifaceted strategy.
Amenities focused on well being have ceased to be a luxury and have become an essential element in modern urban development, enhancing both quality of life and real estate value.
In a constantly changing world, where uncertainty is a constant factor, investing in a certified apartment emerges as a wise and responsible decision.
The value of a used apartment in Mexico is marked by a surprising discrepancy between historical value and market value. While owners tend to anchor themselves to their original costs, market dynamics demand a constant reevaluation.
