$1,200 dollar lot in Asuncion WITH PHOTO

shari, check your u2u. Thanks..

Initially, the government owned all the land in these small villages.
Later, they issued titles to locals once the city municipality was formed.
Title is issued from the government once the property has been bought and paid for.
Prior to the first sale, there is no official "title".

Apparently this property has been paid for in full in order to obtain the title from the municipality. Not to say that debts may not exist ie property taxes etc.; but there is a title. Without a title, a gringo could not buy the land directly from the municipality.

But don't even worry about it XXXXXX
Only nice folks are allowed to buy in Asuncion !!

Shari,

Check your U2 - I know who needs that lot if it's not gone already !!

lot in Asuncion

"Mike the big Baja lender, for a lot that costs him a couple tanks of avgas, wants brochures, a CD maybe?"

WTF??!!

1. i don't lend. i rep a company that does. I am not "big" but Carefree Mtg is huge and more than capable to cover any size deal in baja or mainland. i happen to be lucky to have been a close personal friend of the owner for 33 years.
2. a few pictures are easy to take and post. We don't even know how many Sq Mtrs it is. i asked for a picture or two, not a brochure or CD.
3. A grand $$ U.S. is more than a couple of tanks of avgas. About 3 actually. And anyway, i don't care what something might cost - i don't have money to throw around and i make purchasing decisions frequently. i buy property based on knowledge of facts i discern for myself.
4. if one isn't willing to provide a little info one shouldn't provide notice of an offering.
5. this deal ain't free nor almost free. And anything that's too cheap has baggage. sounds pretty cheap to me - so, i'd have concerns.
6. the real positive in this that PQd my interest was that Shari is involved. I believe she is to be trusted. Only wish i could get down there soon but i can't.
7. if there is a lot of decent size for sale at that $$ then there are other deals around. no one needs to be in a hurry to buy Mexican dirt.
8. And......the best way to acquire mexican real estate is to buy owner direct and avoid dealing thru gringo expat commissioned realtors whenever possible.

Shari,

YOU buy the lot. That way you get to choose your neighbor and exclude the ones who would not know how to live in la onda Baja

Jeez. A good dump truck can haul a thousand dollars worth of dirt if you pay the cost of fuel etc.

Not so. my comments re: realtors weren't directed towards Shari. Read no. 6. She and i have a fine relationship considering never meeting publicly yet.

i was referring to a few others, globally, without naming names. RE agents in mexico are less than regulated like in US. I love it when 3 or more say they have an "exculsive" listing on a place!

people i think tend to buy on emotion and sell on need - referring to RE properties in mexico.

i have no challenges with paying a reasonable fee for service when i think i need it. But whenever i can lap a dog on my own, i will.

and, just because the beach has been sold doesn't mean some of it won't come on the market every once in a while - and if it turns at a premium good for the seller.

the only thing that keeps me off the pac side is lack of good pistas where i'd like to be. So, Asuncion certainly is on my short list for whenever i might choose some sand of my own. And renting is always good for me, no ties and no entanglements - just the way i like it.

Dennis,
Since we are setting in here in Bahia Asuncion, perhaps we can be of some help. Our big dog just loves claiming new items and marking them as his own. We just can't wait to introduce him to your drum set.

Diane and John

Hey, Dennis

That warehouse sounds like a good place for our Pacifico/Ice drive through......you can even play the drums.....I'm sure it will attract customers.....

Dennis,
Here's a man who knows his drummers! Aierto Muriera and his wife, Flora Purim came to the U.S. from Brazil. They were discovered and brought here by Miles Davis. Of course, Tito Puente was the man! The master! Mongo Santamaria was on many of Dizzy Gillespie's recordings.

I am assuming that your drum set is traps (term for conventional drums, used in bands). Now you will have to add Latin Percussion to your instrument collection. So listen to these guys' CDs and practice. Oh, and listen to Poncho Sanchez, too. One of the all time great conga players was Armando Peraza. He worked with Cal Tjader for many years and taught at Drum City, in Los Angeles

I am a trumpet player who doubles on congas. When you are ready, I'll show up for a jam. Shari, are you ready to host the 1st annual Asuncion Latin Jazz Festival in 2010? Yikes

jdtrotter. Neat avatar! Sort of a modern version of something old and beautiful.

I think a lobster playing a sax would be more appropriate...I figure we could have the fesival on Ira's lot it's so big and I'm sure jdtrotters won't mind
