House 4 Sale in Asuncion...$12,000
A fisherman friend of ours is moving to San Hipolito and needs to sell his house fast. He was just building it so the back half is done and his family
has been living in it for a year so it has power & water...It is a wood house with 2 bedrooms, kitchen/dining area and bathroom with septic so
far...the plan was to build the living room out on the front of it. it's not fancy but a great start and high ceiling and can be stucco'd...great
neighbours too.
It is one block up from the beach in the middle of town on a 525 square meter lot. I'll go take some pics today. U2U me if interested.

a bit more info on this house...the bedrooms are drywalled, some trees and bushes planted on the roomy lot. It looks rustic but with a little
imagination and stucco it would be fine.
The value is in the lot, foundation, water, power hook up, windows and all the wood and concrete floor in the house. It has a clear title issued by
Sta.Rosalia Municiple office so easily transfered into a fideicomiso.
You could build a front room onto it to finish it off, plaster and you're ready to roll. This is a steal!
Lot prices skyrocketed here a few months ago...went from around 25 pesos a square meter up to 250 pesos per square meter as it was designated a
tourist area...so doing the math, a 525 square meter lot is 131,250 pesos...dang...which makes this house a great deal.

Maybe the ones who don't realize a good deal when they see one. Anyone who has spent time down here will realize that the place has loads of
potential, dreams, it's what Baja is to some, others come here expecting things to be as they were in the states, those are the ones that usually do
not last long here.

Are you saying I can't have a 2 story structure with upper decks
facing both the sunrise and sunset and overlooking the stone sweeping staircase that comes onto the lower part of the property all for 12,000
dollars????
Whoever picks this one up Shari has something real to work with
sold out and got out !!!

Hardly, I am saying that the house is chock full of all possibility, a second level, upper decks facing in a circumfurance even, while overlooking
that sweeping stone staircase or you could go tile,.....you just may need to add a few $$$$ and your own ideas to make it your way, as many of us
here have done..

wow! 10x increase in a few months? i assume you mean asking prices went up -- can't imagine actual sales prices changed so fast
what do you mean by "designated" a tourist area? is that something official, or just a perception amonsgst sellers?

Great to see the RE market dream homes at realistic prices for families that want to lay down some roots.
Shari, here's a thought, could you provide the ROI based on typical monthly rental income for a BA home, and comment on the growth potential based on
current appreciation/year averages?
Say you could post an excel doc doing a casa by case appreciation per capita/region and post those on a regular weekly basis to our waiting wealthy
capitalized Nomad base, we can upsell the regional tourism benefits and sell the ShariReport Newsletter via our Nomad Collective RE Guide, go IPO,
sell futures and shorts, pump up the high risk undocumented loans... whoa what the. jaja

It would have more possibilities if it were concrete block. Is wood the preferred material in that area?

Actually it is the price per meter that is set by the municipality that has gone way up so anyone wanting to just buy a vacant lot from the village
will have to pay that new price....luckily the owner of this house got the lot at the old price so passes the savings onto you. Many people who are
selling now (even though they got the lot at the old price) are jacking up the prices to reflect the change...so it's a deal when you can get
something at the old prices.
I will try to post some pics of dilapidated old shacks in WAY worse shape than this one that people here have bought then fixed up...way nice!! Like I
said with some imagination and $, this place has alot of potential. Some Canadians bought the house across the street and made it gorgeous.
many people build of wood then plaster outside and either drywall or plaster inside too making it very strong and beautiful...easy and there are
excellent workers that charge reasonable prices. the bedrooms already have drywall and windows...here is a back view.
I'd build a biga$$ front room and wrap around patio outside with a garage on the street side that just might have a little apartment up on top to take
advantage of the ocean view.

it would be an awesome view of the ocean with something built up on a 2nd story.
Here is an example of using your imagination. I saw this house and knew it had potential. Many of you have stayed in this house....know which one it
is?
this was the bathroom
and this is the Beach House now.
We have bought a few fixer uppers as they are better deals because they already have alot of money invested in the foundation, floors, wood, water and
power systems etc...so it's way cheaper than starting from scratch...even if you just take down the wood, you can use it for your roof, or garage
whatever.

Another bonus about buying an established place in town is that the neighbours are already there and chances are nobody will build a huge place in
front of you...plus they keep an eye on your place when you arent here AND bring you great food all the time...right Bajaboy? (You should have seen
the shack he bought and fixed up oh so cute!!)
