Por nada, Bajayan.
Since San Quintin is your destination, I suggest going on the TalkBaja facebook site and put your question up there. One of the admins is a resident of la Chorera and is a good source of info for San Quintin. He goes by Ron Gomez on the site [Baja Gringo here].

Best of luck on your trip.

Thanks Dennis, I hadn't thought to look on Facebook (which I typically avoid to be honest). I do have some interest in one or two other spots as well, but it seems the group is pretty widespread which is quite helpful. Happy New Year!

I talked to our Notario and he says it makes no difference whether you are leasing from an individual or a corporation, the law only allows, as Dennis stated, 10 years minus one day. There are other contracts written such as an automatically renewable lease, but it holds no water in court, which is the final authority. Your only true protection comes from a Fideocomiso.

Thanks a lot Pescador, that finally completed the answer to my question.

It's unfortunate that lease terms are so restricted as to make them unworkable for building, but there's nothing we can do about it.

folks have and will continue to build on leased land, MOST have no problems and have enjoyed their places for years. sure theres no guarantees but if you lease from people you know and trust, I say go for it!

Bajayan - don't know where you 'originate' .. but wanted to make mention that an Attorney in MX is not the same as Attorney in USA .. And, a Notary in USA is not what a Notario is ... HTH

I recommend that you contact Jonathan Mendez in Col Vicente Guerrero. (http://www.sanquintinm2.com/en/business-consulting).
He is well connected in the municipality of Ensenada (which extends south to Guerrero Negro) and has excellent relationships with several Nortarios in Ensenada as well as the new Notario in San Quintin.
I know him personally and he is knowledgeable and absolutely honest. He has helped me in several business matters and his advice and assistance have resulted in successful legally binding transactions.

Thanks CaboMagic, I am aware of the very different role notaries play in other countries (I'm in the US).

And thank you as well Warf, I met with Jonathan last year and he seemed great, so I'm very happy to hear a confirmation.

Willardguy, if this was just for a little cabana, I might just be okay with that.

And Dirtroaddoug, you're right that the fideicomiso is the only guarantee (or a corporation).

On the east coast and even in the SF bay area lease hold properties are not uncommon. Typically a developer builds houses for sale but retains ownership of the land below them for a fixed period of time. This allows first time buyers, or others with minimal money for a down payment to get into a new house for a lot less money.

How does land leasing work?

It either does or doesn't

In San Felipe I wouldn't hesitate to do a lease at Pete's Camp. I v'e known the owner for many years and he is a good guy.

Other than that, I think it is a crap shoot!
