Punta Final Homeowners Please Respond
While I was at Punta Final over Easter weekend, residents there are a tad bit upset about the huge increase in rent that will be charged them. They
asked if I would put out a notice.
I am requesting that present homeowners contact me to discuss some options available.
For those that know anyone having a home in Punta Final, please have them contact me.
For those Nomads that rent, I wonder what the "current market rate" per square meter is in your community??
Thank you!

Thats the joy of leasing. Current market rates and options are 100% up to the property owner. Know someone that just sold their home here in San
Felipe. Leased land. Got $160,000. What are people thinking?

Based upon everybody elses experience in this, you have a wide range of options:
1. Pay the higher rent.
2. Leave.
No mention of the problem here:

Here's an estimate of what one could expect in Punta Chivato area.
20x45 meter lot $2000/year ~~ When I was leasing we had a contract for 10 years that included; no more than 3% raise per year, If the lease was
broken or up for sale the lease holder had first right to purchase the lot, At the sale of the property the improvements would be negotiated or an
appraiser would set the value. These were written by a lawyer and registered with the notary. I'm not saying that these documents would be honored or
that your improvements wouldn't be involved in a fire if push came to shove. But here the landlords honored the contract.
GOOD LUCK!

At this rate steekers and Ed might take a month to communicate!
See the button called 'U2U' under the area where you read someones post? That is a private message device, like email... When you get a U2U from
someone an alert will appear at the top of the Nomad page, which you click.

Is Don Briggs still at Punta Final... ? He was a customer of mine in Vista, where I worked, 22 years ago... I sold him irrigation and installed some
at his various properties.

The landlord at Punta Final is a Korean guy who bought the place from la Dona Josephina's heirs about three years ago for, reportedly, $1M. He told
the leaseholders then that he would raise the rent a lot starting in 2011. He told them recently that that amount will be 400%. They are not happy.
I don't know what their rents have been but I suspect they have been about normal for that part of Baja.
The landlord carved a road between a mountain and a rock pile to gain access to one of the coves there that has a good beach...there is not much good
beach in front on the existing "resort."....only about four homes are on the water there with some others on a cliff to the South. He built a start
at a bunch of condos which has not been completed...heard that the mainland workers he imported were allergic to the locals...that sounds about right
to me.
The landlord, apparently, think he's gonna make the place into a "destination" with condos and amenities to draw crowds down the new paved roads to
the place. He had an internet ad on a year or so ago which showed a paved road to the place...that was, obviously, a dream and a lie all knotted up
together. He has a guard on the gate to the place who wants to charge you $8 to visit/camp....we didn't pay because we weren't staying.
If he does build a "destination" there he will lose his shirt to da max. Punta Final is exposed to the full power of the sea and the winds and WX
there in winter will blow yer basic tourist off the beach and back to LA with enough hate and discontent that he/she/it will never return. In summer
it's worse....no breeze..up against a cliff heated by the Baja sun....again yer basic tourist might try it once but not twice.
The only way to make the place viable would be to water it and power it enough to keep the tourists inside most of the time. It's a pretty place but
it ain't gonna fly without Palm Springs size investment....I'd guess it would take something on the order of $70M to $100M to do that.
But, Korean businessmen are known for having lotsa testosterone as well as lotsa brains. So we will see.

Well I hope he has some Korean magic up his sleeve to develop an area like this that has no water and brutally hot summers. And not to get off
message, but has anyone else heard reports that "The Road" construction has stopped near-ish south of Huerfanito and there is no equipment around? (
I apologize if that is not true and on another thread but I try to keep up!).
But Welcome to Mexico if you are raising all your rents and kicking people out based upon the construction and dreams of a road that MAY be finished
before the funds run out...

We drove up the old and new road from GB to Puertecitos yesterday and saw that work has started again...they have a route laid out and are grading it.
We saw no paving equipment but there are plenty of big earth movers.
Re water and Gonzaga Bay: There is a box canyon to the west and north of Punta Final that we all call The Gonzaga Bay National Forest. The mountains
that surround it catch the rain off the Pacific and the valley is watered. There are many very large Cardon cacti and Bujum trees, Elephant trees and
other plants....lots of animals too. It is a most beautiful place...about 500 feet higher than the sea and you can see the ocean from up there about
7 miles away. If you had enough money to develop it...and the juice to get the Mexican gummint to allow that...you would have a resort that would
make Palm Springs look like the San Felipe dump. There is water in those mountains...I suspect just about all you would want.
But...it ain't ever gonna happen....too much greed, incompetence, gimme...gimme...gimme and corruption. Thank God for all of those things or Baja and
that beautiful place would have been turned into Buena Park strip malls long ago.

What I am curious about...
| Quote: | How does a Korean manage to purchase that entire property  without even a
hitch? Was it ejido land? Was it a multi-year lease? How many notarios were involved. Did the Korean get the land concessions? Etcetera, etcetera,
etcetera.
Nomads have the routine down pretty well.
I have no problem with Koreans buying beachfront property, but they sure seem to have an easier time than Americans do. |

some details to satisfy curiosity
Without telling too much personal info, Kevin the Korean is married to a Mexican citizen and they both speak fluent spanish.
They bought lot 24 in the Colonia San Luis Gonzaga. It was NEVER ejido land and they got it about 10 years ago (not 3).

I don't know what that is supposed to mean. I don't have a situation...others do, and I want to help them.
