how does anyone know if all of these people with their so called developments are legit? anyone can put on a dog and pony show. how do you check
them out and if they have all the proper permits, permission, and are qualified to do what they are claiming????pacificobob - 2-28-2017 at 02:30 PM
if they tell you "water coming soon" that is a clue.larryC - 2-28-2017 at 02:33 PM
Use a Notario, ( special Mexican attorney authorized to do land deals) and follow his guidance. You need somebody on your side when you are doing
deals like that. Don't use their attorneys.sancho - 2-28-2017 at 09:12 PM

Or the electrical will be run to your lot tomorrow

If it's not already built, it probably won't be anytime soon. Developments seem more likely to fail since there are so many variables compared to a
one to one sales. I wouldn't trust a development owned by a corporation as a "shareholder".mtgoat666 - 2-28-2017 at 09:34 PM

Don't pay into a development before it is built. Too many developments fail, many many developments fail, and people that paid money never see it
again. Look at Donald trump's development in Baja. Many people paid him 6 figures and they never even poured the first yard of concrete.
And there are plenty of already-built homes in Baja to choose from.Udo - 3-1-2017 at 08:51 AM
I have yet to see a "development" built in recent memory. Many of them are actually started with drug money.cliffh - 3-1-2017 at 09:31 AM

You can get a pretty good idea of what is going on in all the towns etc., by spending a few evenings in the local watering holes where the Gringo's go
for a drink. Notario is a must.thebeckster - 3-2-2017 at 08:59 PM
Thanks for all of the good advice. Sounds like there is no shortage of scammers! Guess you just have to learn to identify the smell of BS!Leo - 3-2-2017 at 09:16 PM
Since you asked, Beckster, I wrote a book on this. A few chapters handle just this problem. Look for 'Living or Retiring in Mexico' available at
Amazon.com. www.amazon.com/Living-Retiring-Mexico-need-before/dp/0973552...mtgoat666 - 3-2-2017 at 10:23 PM
