The year was 1996. After dozens of visits of 2 to 10 days duration, our family decided it was time to buy. USD $15,500 later we were the proud owner of a long vacant home on a big lot in Mirador that needed more than a little work. In its previous life it had been a commercial center for union...

In October about 10 years ago my son and I, by way of a local Mxcn attorney, learned of a vacant lot for sale on Pino Suarez Street in Puerto Penasco....great location and reasonable price at 38,000. Not a steal...just a fair price at the time. The attorney set up a meeting for closing at our...

Today from a long time CPA friend, who lives full time in Penasco: Overnight, on a well lighted street in a residential area, the 200 amp overhead electrical line from the transformer across the street to her mast slightly inside her property was stolen. The wrapped splice at both ends had been...

A few of us in Mirador have a good number of moderately tall palm trees needing trimming, and hauling away of cuttings. Many of the cuttings will be excellent for palapas. Likely our tall ladders will provide sufficient access, but the contractor should provide his own saw or machete. Call...

I wish i was telling a lie here, but not: 12 days ago went to Walmart and Sams to buy a bottle of rum and vodka, the biggest sellers. Shelves were empty. Overhead shelves, 10 ft up, had cases of what I wanted. I found a liquor dept employee and he dragged his mobile ladder to fetch what I...

If Sr Oso, or any of his gringo friends have complaints about her honesty or integrity, we found her to be extremely honorable and dependable over many years. We bought our first of 25 + properties in Penasco and environs from Patty, Boomer and Bill in about 1996, and many more later. Within a...

Admittedly this is slightly second hand info, but an employee of the previous owners, Joe and John, says the extended renovation period is because they decided to go with a decidedly "adult" theme, featuring a raised dancing area, brass dancing poles, private "conversation only" rooms, private...

If Mx has any hopes of going from 4th world to maybe 3rd world, it has to develop an income tax system. To this point most tax revenue comes from IVA...14 % ? The majority of locals are hustling in the "sale on the street". They have had limited success making the streeters pay any tax. So, now...

A couple of these articles say it's common that expats are audited by SAT every year. CFE emailed us today an important notice regarding the new RFC requirements. Server error prevents me from posting it. https://www.escapeartist.com/blog/taxation-of-expats-living-in-mexico/...

CFE is an arm of the Fed Govt and it now appears they are using it for tax reform. We know from recent experience that to sell a property in Mx one must have the CFE bill in the name of the seller. Now, it is necessary that the CFE bill show a RFC, the equivalent to a TIN. The main question...

Many expats buy visas for 30 to 180 days at the border. If they have no Mxcn sourced income , do they need a RFC? Moe importantly, who has to start filing a Mxcn tax return declaring world income?

Next Christmas aks for a digital scale from Walmart...under 15.00 as I recall...maybe under 10.00. It's small, thin and reads up to 5kg/11lbs. Good batteries. Rechargable. In the last 20 yrs here we have checked most every fish purchase against the mechanical scales the mongers like to use...

"You don't know who I am do you!" Last time we heard that arrogant line was by Harvey Weinstein while being hauled away in handcuffs. No, most everyone here has no idea who you are. I guess no one cared. It never struck us as important. If you learn the identity of OurForever and numerous...

The 2 issues for the vast majority of expats in Penasco: 1. Do resident expats, property owners or not, having legal permanent Mxcn residency with no right to work, and with no Mexico sourced income or employment, but having income from abroad, have to file Mxcn tax returns declaring their...

PP water authorities don't agree the aquifers north of the City are too salty to be potable. Most everyone I know in PP drinks it daily, and no longer buy water. And, the series of wells are not really east of the City...due north last time we drove out there. Has this Jungle Jim fellow...

Although not everything on the menu includes a mole ingredient, if you want authentic Oaxacan house-made mole, this might be the place. After driving past it for a few weeks, we finally tried it. Magnifico! Moderate prices, squeaky clean, good acoustics and the waitress speaks good English...
