humble casa for sale in Asuncion by owner
An amigo of ours, Felix needs to sell his house here to move to Sta.Rosalia to squid fish with his brother, who already sold his house to Bajaboy! The
house is 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, septic system, full kitchen, sunken living room, and a larage garage. It is at the back of town near the road to san
roque and is a 600 square meter lot with bushes planted all around it. He wants to sell it with all the furniture and appliances for $18,000 but will
sell it without for $12,000. The lot does not have a title so you can buy the lot from the municipality to have a title for around $1,500. u2u if
interested for more photos. this is the view from the house front of the lot...i have to resize the others...

As you said Shari, soon Asuncion will be called 'Nomadlandia' !
The place really is nice! After two and a half days of driving down the cold, overcast Seven Sisters coast before heading to your place, the blue sky
days and star filled nights were great...

I love it that it is still possible to purchase a house near the beach for $15,000...like the real old days..it gives normal people a chance to own
something and not have to go in debt for the rest of your life on earth. Probably wont last for long though....sigh

gracias Minnow, but I'm not really doing it for Nomads, I like to help our amigos here (mexicanos) sell their places...many want to move but can't
because no one here has any money to buy places so the only solution is to somehow let outsiders know of these opportunities. It is nearly impossible
for them to do this themselves due to language barriers and literacy issues so I'm happy to do my part and help everyone realize their dreams. I am
also so happy to have a few more paisanos here to play with...I'll find a backgammon partner yet..and let me tell you, I sure appreciate the things
they bring me like bagels,hummus, tapioca pudding, maple syrup, dog & kitty stuff etc....and the carpenters and builders are extemely happy to
have more work as well...it's working great for everybody and prices haven't gone up much yet. Nomadlandia is growing. (Those of you who don't like
the idea...GOOD...stay away!!!)

You are so right !
For whatever reasons Shari does it, she and Juan have been a wonderful resource and help in obtaining a "piece of the dream" for our family and
others. Shari and her family will always hold a special place with us.
Backgammon, eh ?
Can't wait; I will kick your butt, girl !!

" The lot does not have a title so you can buy the lot from the municipality to have a title for around $1,500. "
Shari, I know there have been previous posts about this and I've read them but I'm still not quite sure about the details. Would you elaborate some
more? What are the requirements for someone who's 10 years from having any time to occupy the property?
Thanks so much for your input!

I will try to explain this...this area until recently didn't have a plan so everyone just built their houses where they wanted and no one had a title
to the property...so in the last few years the village came up with a plan and everyone just put rocks or fences around where their houses were so
determine the lot lines...so these people can sell the houses but they don't own the land so if you buy a house from them...you now have to buy the
lot too which means it never had a title so they have to come and measure it and make a brand new title in your name or whoever you decide to put it
in. This paperwork all costs around a $100 to do and can be done at the village office here..but is much easier and cheaper than buying a lot that
already has a title. A lot with title you hae to go to a Notary to change the title over to you and you need an evaluation, and some letters, and it
costs more. What some friends of ours have done is buy now while prices are still cheap and they just sit on it until they retire...or rent it out.
The property taxes are cheap...like 200 pesos a year or something like that. So hte house has its price and so does the lot....I hope this clears
things up

Sorry for putting up your entire quote but I didn't know where to start disecting.
For a foreigner, what you mention above is required before a fideicomiso is applied for. Is that correct? Surely, a foreigner can't own the land
with simple city registration. The bank trust has to be the next required step to control the title.

Some people buy in other people´s names for at least a while, but yes, you are correct. Either a fideicomiso or corporation is still required here
for foreign öwnership.
In our case, there was title to the land under our house, so we did the fideicomiso---with our agent in La Paz, Alonso, the one Shari suggested, it
took about 4 months which we think was quite fast.
In our case, we paid for everything in the beginning---did not hold back anything waiting for the fideicomiso. But our seller is a local business man
and is not going anywhere. We are the first foreign buyers he has dealt with, so it was his first experience with a fideicomiso. He learned a lot
and was very cooperative.
John and Diane

Thanks, Diane. The process you mention is the Prestanombre. I believe it is technically illegal but, you're right. Many people do it.

takers.

Shari,
Have you been able to resize any more pictures of the house? More inside and also outside would be nice.
Thanks.
