    Owner Carry Land or Home

    I suggest you find an American or Canadian property you like, and make an offer that requires the seller to carry the financing. To give you an idea of what sellers are looking for: our various family members, as sellers, have done at least 10 of these over the years and has never had a default...

    Margaritaville opening back up

    We stopped there and were shown around the revamped premises by one of the American owners. The $15.00 rooms out back were not preserved and have been converted to restrooms and storage closets. A good size bandstand and bar is also in place in the rear, along with a sizable area of green turf.

When we leave, the water lines and pump are shut off and the tank is full. When we return the same water from our date...

    Desal last minute push by Dougie

    I don't believe there are any plans to pipe the new water to Az. The plan is to give the water to Mexico in return for Mexico relinquishing its share of Colorado River water.

    ROBBED.............. in broad daylight in front of hundreds

    No matter how much we want to tell ourselves our region of Mx is really no different than a small city in Ca or Az, the differences are immense. In our 27 years of owning a home and various other properties, we know from too many bad experiences they will steal the air out of your tires if they...

    No more LLC's to avoid bank trusts and 2 % transfer tax?

    Convincing the Notary the joint has been one's principal residence can pose a challenge. The Notary is often audited on a regular basis if he has deemed too many sales to be that of a principal residence. He needs to have a file full of indicia that it was the primary home. One thing that trips...

    No more LLC's to avoid bank trusts and 2 % transfer tax?

    According to my MXCN legal friends, Mxcn corporations owned by foreigners are rare...the vast majority of corporations that own property are gringo. It's been almost a year since Mexico made some noises about making LLC's pay taxes and fees commensurate with those paid by an individual. Does...
