Mulege property
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/reo/5789737403.html 2k might be a bargain for the right person. Does this area flood everytime it rains?

The 6th photo shows the water line just below what appears to be the electrical box outside the shower. The area pics seem to place it on the south
side of the river, maybe close to Jungle Jims?
the house is being offered at allow 2K park by in and a long term lease.
If I read the ad correctly, that's not a sale price but a buy in price with a long term lease. Know what you're getting in to is my advice.

Hi Chuckie! Hope we can drain some Pacificos again sometime!
To OP Ehall,
No, doesn't flood every time it rains there. Ya' have to have an Odile level event for floodwaters to get that high. Since the road has been repaved
the rain events (chubascos/t-storms) seem to drain down the alley better than they have in the past, meaning when it rains no problema. Happy with
that.
The flooding thing is not for everybody; pick your disaster: flood, earthquake, landslide, tornado, hurricane, fires, no place is safe in my
experience, or its a really really boring place to live.
How do I know? Been living there for 10 years (2 casas up from the offering), been through several floods and cleanups. I can take it, some can't.
Can't wait to get back, build a fire in the chimenea, host a happy hour under the green green palms against the blue blue sky!
My neighbors there are the best, toughest, most generous and understanding neighbors I've had anywhere. No whiners. They've forgotten more about
flooding, insurance claims, cleanups with the locals, good/bad times than most people will ever know.
We keep coming back for a reason...there's something good we got in our little park that I just don't find in other places. That good is hard to put
into a real estate ad. So is the downside. It's your choice of risk/reward where ever you wind up.

I was able to translate
"at allow 2K park by in and a long term lease."
Try: "At a low $2000 park buy-in and a long-term lease".
So you're not buying it.
Maybe.

More translation:
If someone really wants to buy it, that can be arranged. But we decided it was best to start off by offering on lease terms, easier for all
concerned, and a good way to try things out for all parties concerned for a season or two.
Just be sure that buying is what you really want. It's mexico.
There are pros/cons for lease vs. buy.
I am an owner there, and I also believe that you never really own land, that is a western cultural illusion. It's about perceived control. Verses a
hurricane flood, there is no control, 'ya take your chances where ever 'ya wind up. People fuss and spend more on a used car than this place!

Thanks for decoding that. I understand now.
