I'm amazed that so many people believe this.To set the record straight, it is true that, if you want to buy property in the so-called "forbidden zone (within 100 kms from an international border or 50 kms from a coastline), you have to own it through a fideicomiso (bank trust) or a Mexican corporation (a corporation is better if you own more than two properties).

Extra costs for grabbing a fast dinner of morning coffee instead of cooking because of the long commute.When you add in the extra costs, often your house hold budget will remain the same whether you buy the expensive/close house or the far out cheap house, just instead of higher housing costs you have higher auto/child care/food costs.Plus when you add in the part of your life you loose sitting on the freeway, instead of at your kid's T-Ball game, and your composure when coming home after battling traffic, stressed, etc. you are really giving up a lot of your life.I have had life with a 3 hour commute each way, and the ten minute commute.

The way some foods say they are organic when they aren't, just because it sells. 

He has had a mortgage on the property since at least 2003 based on city records.Anyway...the building is in a very good location with high traffic counts, numerous fast food chains sharing the same street along with a large retail strip with national tenants, an elementary/middle school and a small university (Indiana University-Kokomo, which is quickly  growing with a 125-bed apartment complex being built down the road and opening in early 2019) all less than a quarter mile away.The building has always interested me, and of course I have NO idea how much damage has been done to the roof and interior by both the tornado and the lack of use for multiple years.
