I know a lot of physics (a whole lot) but I’d want to look at the property or at least some good photos to opine. I’ve done some marine and coastal work on the side. “Breakwaters“ commonly result in a scalloped pattern on a beach with sand building up on one side and being depleted on the...

I earlier said I’m not a structural engineer. But I am a physical scientist with a few hundred publications. The water from those melting glaciers is going somewhere. Don’t buy any fancy globes, a lot of coastlines are going to change. Having said that, I looked at a number of properties in...

Here is just released homicide data on the 50 “most dangerous“ metropolitan areas in Mexico. https://elcri.men/en/municipios-mas-violentos.html Many of these are coastal tourist destinations. https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/coastal-tourist-destinations-among-most-violent-locations/ The mass...

I’m not a structural engineer, but that looks more like a facade (or a farce) than something I would rely on for an extreme event.

42+ is a lot of missing people. I’ve never heard of any missing gringos. Maybe some could be migrants, but even 3 or 4 missing locals should have made the news. Obviously this group was out looking for missing family members, so they knew something I didn’t.

I would report my passport lost immediately. Don’t surprise them and they will be more sympathetic.

You might want to look at some of the ex-pat communities immediately north of San Felipe in Baja on the other side of the sea of Cortez. Maybe a couple of the Camps to the south as well. Some of these are based on trailers that have been added to and property transfers sometimes happen with...

What part of Rocky Point is this?

Does anyone have an email address for them? How is their English?

Their website does not list appliances. I found one google review saying they carry some appliances.

This topic probably comes up every few years, but I didn’t see a clear answer to my question in one 2016 thread. Does anyone know of Home Depot would deliver a complete set of appliances to a new house in Rocky Point? I’m sure I can buy them in Nogales for example, but can I buy them and have...

Around noon this past Saturday we were driving into Cholla Bay. As we went around the big sweeping curve a Honda driven at excessive speed drifted around the curve in the opposite direction, its rear end well off the line of travel. I gave him the finger. 10 minutes later on the same curve...

We will be living in Puerto Peñasco about 6 months of the year. We will have have at least minimal and probably very good US health coverage. But we are interested in exploring the system in Mexico. Does anyone on the forum have insurance in the Mexican system? Can anyone recommend an...

Right. Hence solar panels.

Thanks. That seems to be it.

I’m negotiating with solar companies for a house I am building. I have a lot of experience with solar in the US. We anticipate using a fair amount of electricity with spa heater and A/C. I’m having trouble finding the current rates for tiered electric costs in Rocky Point. There is an older...

Appraisals in the US are typically done for mortgage lenders. I spent a lot of time looking in Cholla Bay, and what I decided was that some list prices were optimistic, although one house we were interested in sold before we could marshal enough liquidity to buy it ourselves. if you are asking...

Hello: I’m building a house near Cholla Bay. I have a lot of experience with solar panels at a desert house in the SW US, as well as using propane for heating and hot water in rural US houses. Can anyone suggest reputable firms for putting in solar — I’m thinking about 10 to 12 kW? Also any...
