Looking to buy

We have had our house for nearly three years and NEVER EVER felt that Chemuyil was unfriendly to foreigners. The local folks have always been very friendly. Some came to our neughborhood New Years party and others that we have come to know stop by when we are there. When we go to Pizza Leos, we wait in line just like everyone else and are served in the order we came. The parents of the local kids that my kids hung out with at Christmas gave them gifts when we left...we like the folks there.

As for Chemuyil Beach, there just is no easy access to it...FOR ANYONE!! You have to walk your way in...NO discrimination agains foreigners..

Happy to answer any questions you have,,,there is also a yahoo group that you can join. Just do a yahoo group search for Chemuyil..

Only if ya like people like or fear peeps me....

I am only kidding!

Congrats!

Maggie,

The Dorado??...tehehheehe!

Thanks for your comments.Does anyone rent out their houses?If yes how is that working out?

We are looking at trying to find somone that has invested in Chemuyil , and would consider owner finanacing. We have been looking at this area (Q Roo )for over 17 years. This is the first time ever in 17 yrs that there has been any thing within our means ( price wise) that would work. But, as all of you know all the banks still have that min 100,000.00 min loan requirement. We are serious about this , and were disapointed to see the price go up this month. It just made it that much more out of our reach. We beleive that we also would be a good asset to the community, as we have owned and operated a small residential construction company here in the states for over 19 years , and also a travel agency specializing in the Caribbean for over 15 yrs. We would be able to help those there needing construction oversite, and any work that needed to be done, as well as be a great connection for helping to get homes rented out , and over seeing any managment on that end. We have made it our goal to try and purchase something this year. Without going into alot of detail ,... We have completley sold ALL but the business, paid off all our our bills, and paid off our daughters college funds.So,...As you can imagine we are down to pennys as far as starting over. This is the sole reason why we would need to get some owner finanacing.So, after asking Bill M ,my finale quistions ...I asked if I could put this post up. It's one of those things ...You don't know until you ask! And all we can do is wait and see if any of you are interested in helping us in this manner. In the mean time enjoy, your little slice of Paradise ! And know that we are glad for all of you who were smart , and lucky enough to seize this wounderful littel oppertunity. ENJOY!!

We do not because, for us, it would be more hassle than what it is worth. We looked at management fees and what we think we could get(remember these are NOT on the water) and decided the additional wear and tear, having to lock up our personal stuff, not knowing what shape the place would be in when we got back, was not worth it. The carrying costs on these houses is so small that you really do not need to.

One of our neighbors bought two houses.... they have a dive business and do rent out. It is easier for them as they can see what is going on all the time and personally select their renters.

Thanks for your input jeri.I can only see myself spending a couple of weeks a year in Mexico for now.For that reason I would like to rent not only as a write off but just for the sake of having someone in the house.I would have very little if any personal stuff in the house.I would not make much personal use from it for probably another 5 years.I would be more than happy to pay someone to clean and check the house,another write off.........
