They tear it out when they leave, and leave you a big hole.  

Not going down the rabbit hole of any negative comments.

Patio screen door has many holes - replaced with new screen.10.

Every extortion attempt I have experienced in Baja has happened North of Ensenada.Beyond Ensenada are cool things like wineries (I do not drink wine), La Bufadora and its blow hole, great little fishing villages, Gurerro Negro and Scammons Lagoon (best whale watching on earth), San Pedro Martir (least visited forest region within a day of San Diego and has the twin Picacho del Diablo peaks and the national observatory), numerous Missions in various degrees of condition, hot springs, party towns (San Felipe), surf towns, snorkel/diving (anywhere in Sea of Cortex in Baja Sur), Sand Dunes (Baja races), etc.My worse theft south of Ensenada has been some bottled water.So the question is why Rosarito? 

Secondly, I think understanding guidelines, the constantly changing landscape, and really being able to offer many different options to tailor the lending needs to the client rather than force a square peg through a round hole. 

We recently bought a property that we have found out within the first few weeks of owning it that is has VERY SERIOUS drainage and humidity issues and lots of previous water damage that the sellers did not disclose.

Shure, we can run down a rabbit hole of complexity, but why.

Attend a couple meetups/REIA meetings and talk to others about what you want to do and where you feel your holes are, and have them help you for free, to at least refine that list so you can talk to Jake and ask how he will help with your specific gaps in knowledge.

I previously worked with a contractor to help with permits and drainage since there’s a possible wetland issue, but unfortunately things fell through between us and I didn’t make progress. 

P.S we were quoted 2300 to remove overgrown vegetation along fenceline and trim the bushes in the front yard. 4000 to install a drain and the base of the exterior stairwell for drainage.
