San Diego ****'s Michael Turko once hosted a show that gave expert advice on how to buy real estate in Baja. It was broadcast over several nights. I did not see it. I only heard about it.
One vital key I heard Turko say was this: aquire a real estate attorney that practices on both sides of the border. One that has a license to practice in both countries. Of course, as we all know, you can lose your life savings in Baja. Caveat emptor. If you find an attorney who works both sides of the fence, assume nothing, check him out as thoroughly as possible.
I have yet to view the video below so I cannot attest to the quality of the content.
