Question 2 - In a reasonable area - between $1500 - $2500/month average with pool, but can go up to $10K+ if you wanted to spend that. It's a buyers market and prices are usually negotiable. BTW a "reasonable area" can be either a gringo area or something with more character outside towns - there is a lot of choice in that.

Question 3 - Security is fine in any reasonable area and normally no need to have guards. I've never had any problems here - either re home or on the street. Crime rate is no different to elsewhere, but people are very willing to step in and help if there is a problem.

Question 4 - Sorry - not familiar with the "A/C" term so can't say - what is it??
