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).

Check for parole violations, etc.You can also let the neighbors know that if the house doesn't sell, you will be renting it to the worst group of bad a** bikers / gang members you can find who will blast their own unique type of music that makes heavy-metal-devil-worship rock sound like Mozart, 24/7.Lastly, take the above half in jest.  

They ignored me and did both, plus had big worship events with live music INSIDE my house, though I told them those were allowed outside.

I also buy and sell music gear online and realized that I've already been applying a lot of these concepts that people preach.

This strategy made a large amount of money for many, me included...until the music stopped and there were no chairs.

Reminds me of the Mexican fisherman story:Tourist in Mexico sees this guy coming off the fishing boat with a few nice big fish.

Great music and food.

I just moved back home to Utah after playing music in Nashville for 7 years.
