Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / June 2005Off topic--Buying Property in Cozumel
I think we are ready to take the plunge and buy a place in CAM. We are leaning towards a condo simply as we are not quite ready to retire and live a life of leisure. We also don't want the hassles of having to have a caretaker We have a few questions. A few (OK, a lot) questions. I realize that some of you may not want to post on-line, so if you would like, please contact us direct at: MSLF500@Verizon(remove).net If you like, you can leave me your phone number and I'll call you back. We are looking in the $400-600,000 price range. Our plan is to stay there 3-5 times per year and rent it out the rest of the year. Asking price- how much flexibility is in the asking price? I always like to find out where the bottom line is. We looked at a couple and the price came down 7% w/o asking. I was thinking 20% less would be a good starting point and hope for a 15% discount. We are looking at a new building that is not completed at this time. Comments? Has anyone found a bank in the US that will finance a property? How much should I pay a year for the trust account? I heard as low as $250 and as high as $550/year If you rented your place out, who would you recommend to handle leasing? What commissions did you pay for them providing the renter? How about if you provided the renter? Do you have a property manager? What's the monthly fee for that? What does it cover? How often do you have the unit cleaned when occupied? Daily? Every 3 days? Do you supply the towels and sheets or is there a linen service that provides it as part of the maid service? If you supply the towels and sheets, how do you determine the quantity of overstock? Do you pay the utilities direct or have the property manager do it for you? On average, what percentage of the year is your condo rented? A lot of questions, but my guess is there are probably a few people out there who know the ropes. Thanks. Mark Lindsey Mark, I don't know a whole lot, but I do know that non-Mexicans cannot buy land within something like 60 miles of the ocean. Condos work because you don't own the land. Also, the Mexican government owns the immediate sea short, but I'm not sure how far above high tide that goes. Why would a US bank finance property in Mexico? That's what Mexican banks are for. But ask your US bank. If they can't answer the question, maybe there's a reason. What sort of an interest rate can you get? Fixed or floating? What about inflation and exchange rate risk? What restrictions are there on moving your money between the US and Mexico. What if the law changes? Elections are coming soon. Don't forget that anything over $10,000 gets reported to the IRS in the US. What sort of permits do you need from Mexico for the real estate and for longer stays? What sort of insurance do you need? Do you have a lawyer in Mexico to do some estate planning under Mexican laws? Property is always probated under local laws. You will need a US lawyer to coordinate things back here also. If you get into a dispute over some detail of the purchase, mortgage, local taxes, etc. do you have someone who will represent you? Is that person well connected? We've all had dreams about owning a place in Cozumel, but the details can make if very risky. I like to stay at what used to be Costa Club. It's changed hands just about every year. Reading between the lines, they have almost always sold individual rooms as condos to finance the operation. Then they go bankrupt and the condo owners lose their investment. Sorry, they are Hotel Cozumel. They used to be Magic Sunset and Hotel Brisas. "Invest locally, travel gobally." Dr. yak > I think we are ready to take the plunge and buy a place in CAM.

While we where there, they discounted the asking price by 7.5%. I was told they were discounting the price because the project wasn't finished yet, but was schedule to be finished on 6/15. That was two weeks ago. I've stayed in touch with the realtor and worked with my bank to secure financing. I finally got a bank commitment yesterday and, sent via email a contract to purchase this AM with a 15% discount as the unit we selected had a restricted view from one of the rooms. It was rejected with a counter from them of 4% less than asking. Of course, now the completion date is 6/30 instead of 6/15. I don't know if this is a typical Mexican negotiating ploy or if the owner just reneged on the deal that was offered off the cuff. Anyone with any experience on negotiating down there that has had this happen to them? For an order of magnitude, this is a $500,000 USD purchase. >> € "Lawrence" <coralsea5@citlink.net> wrote in message € >> news:1117750846.737807.92800@g14g2000cwa.googlegroups.com...

They offered you a 7.5% discount and you effectively turned it down when you countered with a 15% discount. I don't think they should be held to their original offer after that, nor do I think they have "reneged" on anything. The only way he could have "reneged" is if you would have accepted the 7.5% discount and then he refused to honor it. It is the same way right here in the states. Based upon standard realtor contracts, once you counter an offer, that offer is gone unless the seller/buyer chooses to put it back on the table. But they are not bound buy law or by any standard of behavior to do so. > > So far our attempt has been sketchy...... > > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > seller/buyer chooses to put it back on the table.

Ross, you're quickly establishing yourself in this newsgroup as one who has both knowledge and commonsense -- which is NOT always a good nor useful trait to have in SCUBA newsgroups. :-) They prefer: one-or-two worder; one-liner; a comedic remark; roughly in that order -- the content of the remarks could be immaterial. -- Bob. >> > So far our attempt has been sketchy...... >> > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >roughly in that order -- the content of the remarks could be >immaterial.

Ross writes a coherent PARAGRAPHS <gasp>, many of which are 6 lines or more in each, citing knowledge and commonsense reasons! In THIS and the other <worse: rec.scuba> ng, anything more than 3 lines are labelled as "Rants". Those who post "Rants" are usually followed by "gnats" most which are members of the "Dysfunctional Gang". I have been dispensing my KNOWLEDGE, commonsense, as well as BEATING a couple of idiots like those found here in sci.stat.math, in which the AVERAGE length of my posts there is about three to four times the average length of my posts in OTHER newsgroups, getting useful discussions out of MOST of them, with the exception of TWO idiots. One is Richard Ulrich who had been around that ng for more than 10 years advising others when he couldn't tell his a.s from a hole in the ground as far as statistics go -- and I repeated told him so, giving reasons WHY, when he tried to pick nits on my posts. He would argue angue, as Lee Bell did when Lee was caught being WRONG. The other idiot was Luis A. Afonzo, a Portuguese who couldn't write English (which was completely excusable), but his ignorance in statistics and the nonsense he posted drew no follow-up from anyone after a few flames from me, and he had disappeared after posting about a dozen posts with no follow-ups. In spite of those two idiots, it really is a different environment for knowledge and sensible discussions in that newsgroup, rather unlike any of the rec.* newsgroups or rec.scuba.* newsgroups. ONE of my recent "worshippers", those who stalk my posts just to put in their digs, must have wondered why I hadn't been posting here. He found sci.stat.math and posted his one-liner insult THERE -- using the posting name "mudshimp". Thanks to the new google feature of "find messages by this author", I learned that he had a LIFE TIME posting history of FOUR POSTS, two in rec.scuba.locations, one in rec.travel.cruises, and the one in sci.stat.math, ALL flames targeted at me, two of which one-liners.

Unfortunately, for a man <me> who had FLOWN 140,000 miles last year, and at least 100,000 miles each year since 1999, my total flying miles before the end of September this year will be limited to the 2411 miles :-) roundtrip ATL to LAX early this year because we have to stay close to home because of my wife's ongoing 6-month chemotherapy treatments. Because of the Homeland Security farce, we CANNOT meet in any of the President Clubs anywhere in the USA unless we are BOTH flying through the same airport at the same time. In the old days, anyone could go to the President's Club to meet someone or send someone off. Now you have to have a boarding pass for a FLIGHT before you can enter the areas where President's Clubs are located in airports. So, it appears extremely unlikely that we'll drink in any President's Club anytime in the future. But I'll offer to buy you free drinks at the Sydney Hilton in early February 2006. :-) -- Bob. > > > the Dysfunctional Gang, nor is he known not to have an attention spam > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > RF> he is NOT a member of the Dysfunctional Gang, nor is he known not > RF> to have an attention spam <sci for span> of more than 3 lines or That's an all-time FIRST -- misspelling "sic" in a "sic" correction. :-) Would 'spam <sci (sic) for span> make it right? :) It's past midnight left-coast time; so it's clearly past bed-time on the right coast.

And give them the Kung Fu Hustle. http://www.sonyclassics.com/kungfuhustle/splash/no1killers/ http://www.sonyclassics.com/kungfuhustle/splash/landlady/ Anyone who knew any of those dialects would have known that the movie was entierly spoken in Cantonese, with English subtitles. Kung Fu Hustle opened the same time as "Star War 3" and both got "A-" review in most newspaper reviews. Kung Fu Hustle was quite subtlely FUNNY and had as much high=tech filming as Star Wars. I watched "Star War 3" while I was waiting the "Cinderella Man" movie to begin. http://www.moviemansguide.com/special_features/2005summerpreview_june.php Never watched any Star War movies before. I was completely bored by Star War 3 after the first 20 minutes, and had to sat through another boring 15 minutes before the Cinderella Man movie started. The Star War 3 movie theatre was near EMPTY. When it opened (a couple of weeks ago?) the hype was that someone camped out for three days to buy the first ticket. I think the movie AD agency paid him a handsome sum for that publicity stunt. The movie STUNK. :-) The Cinderella Man was a GREAT movie. The Kung Fu Hustle was a very entertaining and "surprising" movie (didn't know it was in Cantonese until the movie started) well worth watching and catch some delay laughs after you get home. -- Bob. > > > > > > That's a defeatist attitude to take.

I don't know about that last one. I mean there are a lot of things I wouldn't have the courage to call Curtis face-to-face, but "long-time weenie" is a such a lame insult that it would probably fail to offend even the most mean, huge, and scary-looking. > > > And Alan thinks an obvious act of plagiarism on his part will remove > > > his ADS, Dysfunctional, and humor-impaired status.

Do you think a student taking someone else's work on a webpage and turned that in as homework, not be punished for plagiarism had the student "never claimed, inferred, insinuated, suggested" that he made them up? You're even more naive than I thought in your lack of ethical values. There aren't that many original jokes. I expected you to have pulled a few from some joke files without acknowledging where each of them come from, because some of the older jokes are not even easily attributable. But pulling TWO ENTIRE SETS (verbatim) from ONE source and not acknowledge it? You could have said, "these came from http://www. ..., but I thought they applied to you perfectly" or something like that, and it would have NOT been plagiarism, but proper attribution of COPYRIGHTED source. > 2 - I don't need to solicit anyone to help me make you look like a > fool.

I might be, except for two things: 1- although this poster uses a Macintosh (posted from Entourage) like me, they're in Washington, D.C. (do a traceroute, if it's not beyond your capabilities). I'm firmly entrenched in San Diego except when I travel. Like you, I leave enough clues when I'm on the road that people know when I'm travelling, and I'm not at the moment. Therefore, I'm not in D.C., I couldn't have posted that message, and I have no reason to be ashamed about my own conduct. 2 - Even though anonymous, they've got you nailed :-) > Alan, it's time for you to plagiarize a few more jokes now. > This time on Dysfunctional Cowards. Well, again, I never plagerize anything. Posting jokes from a website onto Usenet isn't plagerizing. It's copying. No one on Usenet (except you, for some delusional reason) assumes I was taking credit for authoring the jokes. I was simply passing along some good humor I found on the net. Interestingly, I don't find any posted jokes about "dysfunctional cowards." I find plenty about statisticians and dysfunctional professors, however. I'd share them, but I don't think you'd appreciate being the butt of yet another round of jokes. > -- Bob. > > > > The never-diving ever-sticking-his-nose-in-some-Gang-member's > > > > a.s Mental Midget extraordinaire is showing his stupidity again.

Alan, I know you have the ADS, a humor-impaired plagiarizer, and a member of the Dysfunctional Gang, but do you suffer from paranoid schizophrenia TOO? You are not the only member of the Dysfunctional Gang, are you? And you flatter youself in imagining anyone would give a sh.t where YOU are when you travel. Dude, you are a schizoid with an illusion of grandeur. When you see the football players in a huddle, do you think they are talking about you too?
