Good info, I have seen about dozen mini split units installed in houses in Cholla including mine and found the local installers did excellent work. I am amazed that you can get a 24,000 BTU off brand system installed for $740. (2013 pricing) In the US it is about $2,000 for a similar off brand...

Humm! That article is missing much of the info from when I originally read it. They must follow this forum. LOL

Nothing against you, Roberto. Just the overflowing glass of optimism the report had in it. For a project of this magnitude to succeed, RP needs to take the training wheels off the bike and do this thing the right way, very quickly, There are many support services for this that need to get...

IDK about that many absentee owners? it's possible, but wouldn't many of the renters be from the US? Let's run some numbers. To support a number of 10,000 with RP, having a 50-60,000 population with these 10,000 US included, would mean a ratio of 4 1/2 Mexicans to one from the US. I have...

Your desktop should be similar, icons will be a bit different. Your live mail is linked to your Microsoft live account so it will similar to what you have now, no loss of e-mails. The Win Explorer 10, 11 you are now using will be the Spartan version that MS is now loading with Win 10. The MSN...

10,000+ US residents? Depends on if one views the glass as half full or half empty.;) I would imagine during the summer months, there is less than 1500 full time US residents and during Oct-June there are 6000-8000, No data. Just my observations during all my trips and having conversations with...

70% from the US, for the quality of work he does his prices are excellent. He does it right the first time, not too much manana, except if he can go fishing on a boat, but his crew will still be there to do the work.

Miguel can do what ever you want, the range for construction is $30-75 per/SF all depending on what level of finish is needed. I had him do a 300sf addition, 1 bath, 1 bedroom and a hallway which he did for $7,000, I supplied all the finish items (vanity, fixtures, tile, paint, roof paint...

Russ, is $7 for 1 tank?

Miguel Suazo - 011-52 1 638 384 5419 - I have used him for years does quality work and his costs are reasonable. He also speaks English. I saw an addition he did in Cholla with a Boveda brick ceiling and it looked nice when it was done.

Borracho Flats is the only area of Cholla (currently) that has water piped directly to houses. Water truck delivery costs $14-16 to have two 1100-1200 liter. tanks filled, lasts me 4-7 days depending on how many people are with us. Water problems in Cholla have become rare since they replaced...

That's why I found a couple of baseless bulb globes with some nasty looking stuff in them last time I was broken into. Roberto, Thanks for explaining it.

Sorry a double post with added/edited info. Here is one for people to fill out, because I'm pretty sure most pets traveling to Mexico will be 99.9% healthy and in better shape than many of the animals I see in Penasco and just want to bring home with me. As you said, I really doubt there is any...

Roberto, Here is a link for people to print out their own Pet health certificate. I am sure in 99.9% of the cases people will be bringing healthy animals to Penasco. So the bother of going to the vet and pay extra $$ when people forget to ask for one during the annual shot visit won't be a...

Now this thread got waaaaayyyyyyy off the topic, but man, I'm really hungry after looking at the lane change about Tacos :):):):):):):):)

Roberto- Incandescent globe lightbulbs are in high demand and often stolen there so you know what that means !! ??? Enlighten us, please.:) I assume something drug related, last time I was broken into, they took about 10 from the light fixtures and all the CFL bulbs I had. Hopefully the alarm...

It's called cash flow management with other peoples cash. That seems the way it is done in Mexico, when I built my house 20 years ago every time I gave the developer a payment, I saw work progress on other projects he was building. I finally told him after giving him 30% of the total, no more...

So true, That is the reason why one of my first stops into town is to hit, the ATM at Banorte, that way I will get a better exchange rate than what they are advertising. I usually get 3000-5000 pesos which will last me 2-3 trips, downside is with the peso sliding in value the peso's I bought in...

The Shrimp season usually starts in late September, I don't know if there are any Pangas collecting any this summer. You can always get good frozen shrimp at Sea? Products by the Burger King. I would be wary of buying anything from the fish market this time of the year, We have had more than a...

I always ask how many peso's to the dollar. In a restaurant if it's quoted in both dollars or pesos I do the math by taking the peso quote and dividing it by the dollar amount, if my phone calculator shows the peso rate isn't close to the going bank rate, out come my pesos. Example- If you spend...
