You're right, I forgot about the $85 / month HOA dues.

If I could have gotten the same deal in San Diego I would have bought there of course. I would have gone for $250,000 in San Diego if oceanfront, new house, same size. If you can afford San Diego, it's a much better choice, IMHO. I didn't want to borrow money and I wanted oceanfront. I love the beach and want to be able to see it, smell it, hear it, and walk it every day.

Living in Mexico is different for sure. It's not for everybody. But I like it so taking advantage of the cost difference was good for me.

Heck, I'll probably be serving it to you! And, the Haunted Hamburger will most likely be the last thing to go in Jerome.

This is great... what a small world it is, afterall!

Any chance of getting Pacifico added to your beer menu? I will set my GPS for Jerome and start driving!:light:;)

It's just one long day's drive form here (Oceanside)!

One effect we saw this week was that a Nomad suggested we "adjust" our prices and perhaps offer a "Recession Special"...maybe something like half price on your 3rd day here. OK...we are always open to new ideas and will go with that then. Sure am glad I saved up some dollars and didn't exchange em a month ago...need to go to the bank this week...wonder if it will get up to 12 pesos to the dollar?
