Piggs, sdr’s recent comment just shows the depth and breadth of popular misconceptions surrounding South County property sales, namely:
“Everyone who pays cash for RE or deposits a large downpayment in south county is connected with drug trafficking.”
(If buyers pay cash in some other zip code, of course the cash is ALL “legitimate,” lol.)
This statement couldn’t be further from the truth. Many Mexicans and South Americans have plenty of money … old money, family money, property holdings in Latin America and the US, business holdings in Latin American and the US, you name it.
It’s just an ignorant hogwash statement designed to inflame potential buyers unfamiliar with the area away from it.
