jncmaas777...
We were visiting yesterday in the Orchard and I took the liberty of getting you some easy drive-by photos on Nomads for number 108.
Sorry, I don't have any interior views. Buene suerte.

Looks like a great price. Always have wanted to live on the river there but the last two hurricanes make me much more leary. What ever happened
about the Mexican government talking about not allowing homes in the Mulege River's flood plain?

From what I understand, the gov. is not allowing any new construction along the river. Repairs to existing structures are allowed. The damage in The
Orchard ranged from total destruction to lightly touched. As always, clean up is the most critical first step... then functional repairs.
In my opinion, which is biased because I have one there, is that if it is still standing after this last hurricane (Jimena), it is still worth
something. That was the hurricane of the century and is not likely to repeat anytime soon with that magnitude.
The house for sale in this string is a very good price. I think that the worst that could happen (likely) is that it would get flooded again
and would have to be cleaned up again. That is the risk and IMHO it is worth it. We all have Fideicomisos too. The lot alone is worth the asking
price. If the house disappears, you still have an RV Pad and a place to camp out.

Why don't people build a first story platform out of cement filled with earth to get their casas up and out of the flood waters?

...because they are concrete block construction with rebar and tied into a foundation. You can't just pick it up. Your idea is good for new
construction, but these are already here. The newest house built on the river road last year was built over a garage although it was not filled with
compacted earth. The cement floor above it supported the living area. That house did survive!
Ironically, the only structures on stilts were made of wood...with palapa roofs...a better material (lighter) for weight bearing stilts. They all
burned to the ground in the palm forest fire three years ago.
These casitas are solidly built, and set back from the river. Those that collapsed were undermined by the surging flood water and they fell into deep
holes. The others were right along the river and most were swept away. Those that remain seem to have been in a better location, terrain wise, and
will probably never fall down. Look at the photos. Judge for yourself. Nothing is for sure, but for the price...it is a good deal!

When they say Trust included does that mean it can be transfered to my name and for how much? I paid notario Saad in Ensenada over 12K to get my last
one. Also is this home in a flood zone?
Although 35K is a great place for my Winter home I want to be sure it'll be there in a few years.

I've visited The Orchard. It's a lovely place. Tony is absolutely correct that the asking price is a fantastic deal.
I was wondering, in light of the suggestions made in prior posts about building on a raised foundation, if that would have meant anything in the face
of Jimena. I know that in previous storms, the ground floors of these units had been flooded. But given the reports posted here and elsewhere, was
wondering just how high water was from Jimena.
That said, it I was a betting man, I'd go with the idea that anything like Jimena is not likely to happen again any time soon.

by nature do all these have fideocomisos that need to be transfered?
that's how you "own" said dirt?
i.e. a trust was set up when he spun off these lotas and built the casitas for the non rental market?
so in theory at least what's been established as a trust under one of these has weathered challenge thus far?
what if he sells the whole property? isn't some of it under lot leases?
i say good deal with provable good title?
will Stewart or 1st American write insurance for it?
