Cultural Tip

In many Spanish-speaking countries, getting a mortgage involves a 'simulación,' where the bank provides a printed projection of monthly payments. It is common to negotiate terms in person rather than just looking at rates online, as personal relationships with bank managers can sometimes influence the offer.
