First Im glad to see another member I have conversed with from another site! In fact we live just a few miles from eachother here in Southern Cali!
I was initially looking at the PV tor Mazatlan area but realize I need to be practical, for numerous reasons, to limit my search from between Playa De Tijuana and not too far South of Rosarito. I plan to go on a "scouting" trip around March. I hope to befreind a 'guide', if you will, to help me out once I arrive.
Thank you in advance for having me here on your forum!!

She'd probably try to sell him that house, huh. And I think that is your community property after all.

Plenty of places in Rosarito for rent and lease/option before buying. I think the wine region would be interesting. Your place in Ensenada is a good spot to check Baja out from; perhaps a little too far south. You thinking of renting your house or waiting for a sale?

Im a 'she'...no worries though. :). The male in my profile pic is my son (USA Water Polo Olympian)

Congratulations!

Nothing beats just getting in your car and driving the areas that interest you. That will give you a much better feel for the areas and you will find the other 95% of the rental properties that aren't advertised online.

I suggest picking up a Telcel Plan Amigo (pay as you go) cell phone. They are cheap and will allow you to quickly jump on a property that interests you.

Thanks! Im sure Ill be well prepared by the time I go through these forums. Not to mention, Ive been going to Rosarito/K38/Popotla since I was 14 so this is something I realllllllly want to do!!

Can't rent it. I live in it. If push comes to shove, I have a good friend I'll give it to, but I'm nowhere near that now.

You could hold a raffle. OK- not all options are good options.

Come on down to Ensenada and experience a real town. Plenty of cultural and social events, shopping and medical services, not to mention great places to eat.

If you are looking for a "gringo enclaves"??? check out the Punta Banda communities.

Into quiet, open spaces, security and an affordable home???? look at the Baja Country Club: Baja Country Club | Baja México | Mexico Real Estate

Yeah, I know, a shameless plug..............

Thanks Teniente! i do plan to make Ensenada part of my scouting trip. I would say Im a fairly spontaneous and adventurous person but in this case I do need to have a 'plan' for my trip, ie hotel, meet ups for guidance, etc. I will def check out your plug :)
