[quote=davelj]I, for one, and at long last, am moving to Baja. I’ve bought the lot, signed a lease on a rental (to live in while the house is being built), sold one of my two condos here in SD, and the one I’m living in will be for sale shortly. My new house will be a 15 minute drive from the border.
I know it’s going to be hell getting the house built – I expect the full panoply of delays, bribes, shenanigans, etc. But that will eventually come to an end. I’ve already managed my expectations to rock-bottom levels.
Anyhow, I’ll report back (in a year?) when it’s done…[/quote]
I know a few people from SD who have bought a vacation home in Baja and/or retired down there but did not build their own home. I’m curious. What made you decide to build your own house in Baja, davelj? Are you going to “own” the land it sits on?
