terms of sale

asking price-  500-650 usd. 

the price will be established at the date and by the terms of offer.

as of now july 24 asking 500usd paid in full "as is" , and  later 650 if i have it listed and the bank trust

the reason for the difference is that there is no capital gains tax when getting the 1st bank trust so if i sell before i submit my application for it than there is no charge to buyer or seller but after that there is and it's very high.  the difference in closing costs i estimate about 150k of completely avoidable expenses

the property is regularized (no longer ejido and has been measured and  established with insus) however i am hesitant to get an "escritura" until i have a buyer for the cost difference at closing. i have the file set up in the insus office. i can sign the property over to you or your lawyer.  if i submit for the escritura than i will be stuck in process. it's easier to have it set up in the sales contract using the buyers lawyer so that he or she can receive the escritura and set up the bank trust directly for you. it would be so much easier and save a ton of money. it would also make the contract read more simple, sale quicker and transfer of possession faster. however i can't wait much longer for a buyer. 

all closing costs will be on the buyer. -  the price reflects that the buyer will have to pay for the closing costs.

the property will be sold "as is"  it will include the furniture and equipment that is there to operate the business (except my personal belongings.) the property is not being sold as the business "sayulita cabins". you need to decide for yourself  what you want to do with the property.

showings-. we need to talk first and see if your price range is something i would consider and i feel confident that you can actually come through with the purchase. i want to consider you a serious buyer who has read this info and  seen the pictures and watched the videos and thinks that this place fits what you are interested in and not just someone who wants to look at peoples houses while on vacation. i will need to know that you are comfortable with the price and have you confirm that you have the funds before i show the property in person. if you don't have my asking price in your budget than let me know before asking for a showing.

 between the information on this website and any questions i can answer you should at least know enough about what is here to decide if you are truly interested before asking to see the property...thanks.. greatly appreciated

1st - read the information on this website. you should have a very good idea of what is here and to be expected. ask questions if there are any that would make or break a deal. let me know that you are financially capable and your time frames if for some reason you are dependent on receiving funds. let me know your budget.  i would like to know that you know this info,  have read this website, know what to expect and are prepared financially to purchase.

next- i will offer that you come by to see the property in person than i would hope that you make and offer. we can then work out the details as we put together the purchase contract. if you want to secure the deal you will need to put down a deposit and sign an intent to purchase contract with time frames to complete your research. really it's better if you just get right to it because nothing is official until i have a deposit and you have a contract. 

i will assist your lawyer in putting  together a contract that makes the process a simple as possible. i will likely be able to sign a contract with 3 months lead time to transfer of possession.

this is what i see as a schedule-

we sign an intent to purchase with 1 month for your lawyer to research the title(3000 refundable deposit). if you are then confident we sign a precontract with 1-3 month to draft detailed contract and get costs and signatures(10% non refundable (unless i fail to perform) deposit ) then  i move out within the time period given and we sign the finally contract and you can take possession.

 ...so you can likely take possession 1-3 months from when you decide you want to buy.
