Thanks, we hve most of the finer points researched. there is regular work-in help (maid, handyman etc) from the current owner (who will still live near by) We will have US title insurance also. The current owner is a Mexican licened RE agent & broker. The tile would be held by the federal bank of Mx, right in La Paz for $400/year - We could easily have it rented to company employees for 6 months of the year, (arm's length) not as a perk.
