Punta Banda B C Mx.
They are still at it a group of deep pocket Lawyers are in the process of trying to take over Rancho Packard . They Tried to illegally take
possession of 5 Hectares and were removed by a court order. the court awarded them the property. but they didn't follow procedures to legally take
over the property. It appears the court order that interrupted the takeover may only be a temporary fix.
Other than the on site panic this has created the local Baja No Bad News Committee has swept it under the carpet for fear of upsetting the local
community It made the Mexican news el Vigia yesterday.

if it's news worthy, provide the link to article, tell the story,... the info you provided is cryptic tidbits, can't really figure out what you are
talking about (i suppose locals know what you are talking about?)

It all stems from a long going law suit the group was awarded possession of 5 hectares of land in Rancho Packard which affects 8 residents Homes the
group appeared the afternoon of june 27 to take possession of the land they were awarded but did so illegally . the owners went to court and got a
last minute injunction to stop the eviction process. there is a pending suit in court that involves a additional 5 hectares and will affect another 10
residents the entire area of Rancho Packard is roughly 20 Hectares which adjoins PUNTA BRAVA

Well this is about as bad as it gets. several people we know well are in danger of losing every thing they have.
In response to Goat asking for LINKS I don't need any I am a eye witness to what happened here.

If this expropriation goes down, I may as well burn my house. It'll put an end to Punta Banda as a relocation destination maybe....forever.
All of Baja will suffer.

I have liver here 11 years every one involved thought it was settled. the link you asked for Dennis provided the article was in El Vigia most of the
residents moved here assuming it had been settled. this place has the reputation of being one of the safest and reputable owners. This current action
came as a shock to everyone.

I'm fully convinced the Law Schools are educating future lawyers in "Predatory Law."
The Ejidos will be their primary employer, and others, such as in this case, will freelance.

Chuckie- I have always said that I wouldn't buy anything in Mexico that I could not afford to walk away from. In the mid 90's I tried to buy a beach
house in Punta Banda from a gal in Arizona. She assured me that land ownership was not in dispute etc. Other "owners" in the same area told me the
same ie "you'll never have to worry about property in this area and you better buy now because prices will be going up!!" One trip to an attorney in
Ensenada told me differently. I decided not to buy the house but agreed to rent it for a couple of years. Three years later the person that bought
that house after I moved out (believing the prior owner) was evicted during a raging rain storm. I have since purchased a couple of places in Mexico.
I always do my due deligence but my opinion has not changed and I will never buy anything that I can not afford to walk away from. There are too many
examples of land lease payments being doubled (or worse) or owners are forced to leave due to some land dispute (not only in Punta Banda.) In many
instances, it is much cheaper to rent than to buy and there are many rentals in most areas. Many people visit an area and believe they have found
their paradise and any delay in purchasing will let the deal of a lifetime slip away!! (Me included.)What I have found is that after a couple of years
the initial infatuation fades ie paradise in the summer (Baja Norte) might be freezing in the winter or paradise in the winter (Baja Sur) might be
miserably hot and humid in the summer. (A location with a cooling breeze on a beautiful spring day becomes a place with gale force winds at a
different time of the year or a place with no bugs during the dry season becomes inundated with flies and nats after the rainy season arrives.) It is
much easier to find someone wanting to sell even at a loss (after owning for 2 or 3 years) than it is to find someone who wouldn't sell after those
same 2 or 3 years. Mexico is a beautiful place but those thinking they have found a once in a lifetime deal that they need to purchase today (or lose
it) most times regret that hasty decision. Although I have purchased, renting for at least a couple of years is not a bad way to go. The house, or one
similar, that one considered buying a couple of years ago will probably be available at a lower price.

Never mind. I figured it out. I inadvertently linked to the sewage treatment site.
Sorry.

Technically, the folks at Rancho Packard (Dennis, JP and others) do not own property. They lease it. So, however much they may have expended in money,
blood, sweat and tears to provide great living for themselves, it drains down the sink hole, if the land owner/ lessor either loses their rights via
some lawsuit, or just merely sells the land.
Purchasing property is something altogether different.
