Generally as soon as the Monsoon's show up in southern AZ it starts to get bad, then really bad after mid-July. The problem is when the water heats up to almost to 90, the night temps. stay close to that with the 75-90% humidity and that's at 3-4 in the AM.:eek: As Roberto said, Most Augusts...

+1 for La Curva, always decent to pretty good, shame they don't serve Pacifico anymore. El Capitan and the Lighthouse views are the best. Beverages are great, Food is OK at both places, but it has been awhile.

They will get plundered if there is any copper wire used, or anything else of value. An empty house near me in Cholla had all the wiring and copper plumbing removed in less than 2 weeks time between visits by the new owner.

At JJ's they won't even allow them on the patio, something about health regulations.

I was told by one of the owners at JJ's that dogs aren't allowed in any food or drink place as of 2-3 years ago. (Service animals maybe?)

I am curious about the cost as well, Thx. Last time I took my jet ski into the harbor (2006), there were hundreds of small 12-15" long sharks looking for scraps of food. 20+ years ago I saw a 13ft Thresher shark pulled to shore after it got caught in Cholla bay after the water became to...

Amazing with more than a few great places on the Malecon, you better have good food/service and prices in place to wow your new potential curious customers and keep them coming back. Sounds like the frog is counting on reputation from days gone bye. And $4 beers, I don't think that will win...

Is SBR involved with this project ?? If so, I hope it's not like other SBR projects. There is a long trail of unpaid vendors and potential condo owners without anything. I really hope that isn't the case.

We have all paid the Gringo tax, but I don't think it applies to CFE or the property Tax dept.

Bob, Thanks. I remember in 1997 when the first batch of trusts were issued, there was mass confusion in Cholla because some people who were to be in the first wave of Trusts issued didn't get them for a year or 2. Sounds like it isn't that different. Pete Peterson was the champion who helped get...

Bob, How would this affect those in Cholla who have had their trusts in place for the past 10-15 years? Or is what you are writing about something separate?

Thanks, I can live with that.

Are the tax rate higher or lower for 2014? Just curious. Have to pay mine next trip down.

Not true, If you use less than 400KW(?) per 2 months you pay what everyone else pays in that consumption tier, (Mexican and Gringo's alike). (8-10 cents a KW) If your use exceeds that then you pay for use at the next higher tier, (20 cents a KW). And when you exceed that threshold you pay the...

+1 on RP Dan, I have heard good things about him. There are a few decent agents, and then there are a few hacks agents in RP, You know who you are. Diego D, Don't count on it as positive cash flow or an investment. (maybe it will work but expect ups and downs in the rental market)...

Mis2810- You will still have decent twilight until 6:45 to 7PM, true darkness starts around 7:30ish,

DiegoD, I own a house in Cholla, We have an HOA fee but it's like $200 per year. I have to pay for the maintenance on the house. Painting the exterior every 4-5 years $1200, Painting the roofs every 5 years $800. We have to wash the windows every trip to get the dust and sand off, spray off the...

Here is on from last week.

Wow I was there on last Fri-Monday, they are really cranking on that, must have added 200-300 feet since then. Stephen, you really have a front row seat.

As Roberto said, The HOA fees will run you $350-450 per month on a 2 bedroom, as well as the occasional capitol improvements fund fees $1000-3000+ , every 2-4 years. The HOA fees will be $50-60K during the next 10 years. If you are going to rent it out 10 months a year be prepared for surprises...
