This property on our local "mls-like" system is not my listing, but I can tell you that you will not own the land for this house. In general I don't recommend land lease, because it is just a lease. Land appreciates over the long-term, while houses depreciate over the long-term. That is why we get to depreciate investment homes on our USA taxes. So in the future you will be selling a depreciated house if it is not well-kept. If you continue to invest in the house to upkeep it, then you also run the risk of the land lease not being renewed, and then you are stuck with walking a way from the house, or moving the house. It is very safe to say that a house on a land lease is very difficult to sell. On the flip side, it is also safe to say that some land lease communities are the highest and best use for the landlord, and therefore, currently, renters feel safe. But also, highest and best use does change over time as the economic and other outside factors change. Mario Restrepo

| Comments: | Mario I sell condos for Las Gavias over here in Mazatlan and I wanted you to know that you have one of the nicest and easiest to use real estate web pages I have seen in Mexico. How's business? The Canadian's are making our year over here - the US buyers seem to be staying home this season. www.lasgavais.com Mike Lee Hi Mike, Thanks for the comment on my website. I really like writing. I am going to be posting more 360° virtual tours of the different neighborhoods. That will make it more interesting. The market here is slow, but we like you are getting some Canadians, as well as English, and other Europeans considering how strong the euro is to the dollar today. We have some unfortunate negative publicity concerning violence that is I believe is hurting us just as much as the financials. Baja is much safer then new and upcoming journalists would have you believe. Thanks Mike.
