IMO, $650 is too expensive. Offer $500 and you buy the appliances. You might not get a long term lease but I'll bet he'll deal. I know those homes.
They were built on spec. I'm sure he'd want them occupied. There are deals out there. You don't have to grab the first that comes up.

Dave is right, landlords are definitely willing to deal right now with current occupancy rate.

You should be able to get rental rate 15-to20% less than they are asking especially now, make sure you get a agreement as too how long the price will
be for, and negotiate the appliances etc.
You better check out the price of fire wood this is not the US it can be rather expensive to run a fire place in Mexico.
good luck

Firewood is expensive if you buy it at the market. I have gotten a pretty good deal from vendors selling loads off their pickup truck. They will
negotiate a better price if you assure them that you will be a regular customer and the bonus is that they will even stack it for you.

Lack of a furnace IS common. What most do is a propane heater connected to a 10gal bottle. You can move it where/when you need. I know, I know, but I
wouldn't be concerned about CO2. These houses leak like sieves.

check out the bottom of the front door in the pictures!!!!
buy a big wool blanket for those cold, wet nights. or just spend $10 on a "door sweep". three screws into the bottom of the door and your rodent
problem will be drastically reduced.

I don't know the specific area of this house, but I would venture to guess anywhere in Baja is subject to all sorts of creepy-crawly and slithery
critters! Having found them in my room on several occasions with a much smaller opening (the hole in my door was about 1/2" square at the corner of a
sliding glass door)...I would suggest door sweeps, BEFORE you move in.

I guess the subject changed a bit here, but since we are on it, I have caught 4 massive RATS, I mean huge, 2 plus pounds each, I am not exagerating,
they were coming in my pump room, and there are a lot of them right now, be alert they are trying to get inside for the winter, believe me Rats are
extremly intelligent, Mice are not, also Rats will smell in a few days Mice do not smell.

Thanks for the great information guys! Now, I'm off to read the thread about where to find the best tacos!

I bought one of these for heating my house in charming, quaint Tijuana. They work great and are bulletproof. I have it hooked up to an outside 20
gallon tank. Just got a fresh tank and fired it up yesterday for the first time this winter. I don't use it at night while asleep, kevlar PJs are very
warm.
It's not vented so read the instructions carefully.
