Six Bedroom with Pool for $500 🇳🇮 Leon Nicaragua
Вставка

- Are taxis safer than Uber and Lyft? What makes taxies so dangerous? Can you get a six bedroom in Leon, Nicaragua with a pool for $500 per month? Rentals are a great deal here in Central America. When we first posted this we thought that this was a five bedroom, but it turned out to be a six bedroom! Talk about a deal!

Something that may help you in the future- My husband is Nica, we speak Spanish in our home. When your driver said “ya llego” literally yes ya means now but culturally that phase means more like I’ll be there as quickly as possible. If my husband said to me ya llego I’d never think he actually had arrived. I don’t think the original driver was trying to be disingenuous.
On my way is universally "Estoy en camino". "Ya llego" is literally "I am arriving." If they say that for "on my way", that's lying and exactly what I'm upset about. Claiming to be arriving when you are just on your way, rather than arriving, is the problem because another taxi was literally arriving "ya llega" at that moment. The person claiming to be arriving hadn't actually even left yet.
That's a problem if "I'm arriving" is used for "I'll leave soon". How does one say that they are or have arrived if they use those words for something very, very different? Ten minutes away as "I'm arriving" is pretty hard to work with.
The problem is almost all of the taxis here say "Five minutes" and can be an hour or more. The pattern of being disingenuous to convince people to wait for them is very, very common. Normally when we are told "estoy en camino" it means "in the shower, might leave in the next half an hour."
"Ya" means "already" and "llego" is "arriving". So asking exactly what I was just explicitly told doesn't make sense. "Im here" .... "oh really? how long till you get here?" I get the concept, just assume all time is a lie, but once we assume all people are liars we stop trusting the honest people.
@@ScottAlanMillerVlog "Ya llegué" would be I've arrived or "ya estoy aquí". "Ya llego" is a generic, kind of blow-off "I'll be right there..." comment. You're right to be justly frustrated, though, Scott.
The problem that i have is that every taxi driver (almost every, not actually every) says that they are almost there, just a few minutes away, arriving, etc. and then arrive so late that we know that they hadn't even gotten out of bed yet when they said it. "I've already arrived" meaning "I'm just pulling up" I can handle. "I've already arrived" meaning "I'm considering going to my car across town to see what traffic is like" isn't okay. It's not uncommon for short periods like that "I'll be there in twenty minutes" to mean "I'll be there in two hours." Which means that they are running other jobs in between, not even considering starting on the task that they often implied they had finished.
Thx4share another gr8 video, I believe 99.9% of taxi drivers are good honest people. Ya llego Este Mes amigo.👍
Yes they are, for sure.
Taxi is truly not for newbies - That is for sure
But as long as 1) You arrange the fee before entering the cab - 2) What we do on Taxi rides outside of Masaya we bring the phone to our ear and I say "Si Si Marta yo viene en un Taxi con placa " in a way the taxista can hear it.
Also if you tell the taxista that they can pick up other riders you do not get hosed for fares. We have had 6 in a Kia Atos
The Taxi fees are set by the city so you can get a feel for the actual taxi rate by asking 6 people and take the most consistent answer as the real rate.
Interestingly the Taxi's are not owned by the driver, but typically as a group of cars by one family and the drivers rent out the cars per shift by the driver - If you are going on a ride more than 1/3 the city do not be surprised if part of your journey involves a stop to the Gasolinera for a fill up before your trip starts. They rarely sit on more than fumes in their car before they have a fare to, of course, pay for gas for that fare.
I got hosed in this example AND he picked up other riders. Because he had lied about being someone he wasn't, he didn't care about if he had taken other riders. The other riders even knew who I was!
I don't think that there any city set fees in Leon. I know of none and if there is one, literally no one knows about it.
Most of the taxis we know here are owned by the driver.
1/13/2023 Anybody liking this? $500 is what I'm looking for. Thank you!
Turns out it is SIX bedrooms, we miscounted, lol. But still $500.
Took taxis all over Nica. Just get the price up front for the trip. As far as a safety risk, I have the ability to go from 1 to 100 if necessary, so don't care about that much.
Yikes. This goes to the top of my list of reasons i should get a car if i end up moving there 😳.
Just get to know your taxi drivers.
I tell people if they have the money to buy a property this is the time to buy/invest and rent. In the near future most people are going to prefer renting because the freedom of remote work. Nobody has time to be selling a home. By the way, the best way in Nic to hire a Taxi is by reference. Always ask to show their ID and business card. A serious driver will make it avail to you.
Hey Scott, what is one supposed to do if they do need to get around Leon besides buses, do they have Tuk Tuk three-wheel motorcycles to get around like in Guatemala?
Tuk tuks are common in Nicaragua but not allowed in Leon. So you won't see any. You have taxis, rutas (small trunks with people in the back), and tricicles (human powered tricycles.)
Hello Scott, how are you? We just want to thank you again, & the house is coming along nicely, but guess what, somehow we missed a bedroom & bathroom, so it is 6 bedrooms 4 bathrooms 😊
What? LOL, that's crazy. I have to do an update now, lol.
The taxi topic is super important and greatly appreciated. Picking Matagalpa was mostly made because of cooler temps but also walkability. We hope to walk or ride bikes a lot and rarely need a taxi. We may even buy a scooter for bringing home groceries. Not sure if uber is available in Matagalpa ?
Thx Scott !
There is no Uber in the country at all, in any city. but in Matagalpa you will get to know taxis and be able to call ones that you know, pretty quickly.
Use the bicycle taxis or putt putt taxis. Less than half price. Make the investment in one and buy him some lihghts if you ride at night.
@@riskyron1416
What is a putt putt taxi ? Thx
@@bananapatch9118 Probably motorcycle taxi's.
Is there a footage for this house you talked about???
No, but maybe we can talk the new renters into letting us film there?
Regarding taxis, we know the man who was kidnapped and whose wife was murdered (of course he is someone Ramon knows). His parents were our neighbors when we lived in Laborio. It's very sad it happened, and too bad his wife couldn't escape when he did. He was smart to get out the way he did. Ramon will only ride with taxistas he personally knows. Usually they are some of the oldest and most beat up ones. If I'm alone, I walk. But I did have an incident the first year I was here. I had to take a taxi from visiting someone I taught English for who lives in Fatima. It wasn't too bad, but he kept picking up other people and dropping them off before me, all over the place around the Parque San Juan area. He just wanted to keep talking to me, and maybe wanted to go out with me I think. When we finally made it to where we were living then, Ramon was waiting in front and he was ANGRY. I don't even remember what he said to that guy.
My wife had apparently been shopping with his wife the day before. I don't think that she bought anything there, but had been in her shop. Such a horrible situation.
I've been stuck in a taxi for an awfully long time before with constant pickups and drop offs, too. Sometimes it's great, often they aren't on the way and the whole ride goes from five minutes to thirty because he doesn't follow a logical path. Often I can walk home faster.
Great info Scott. How can I get in touch with you? Would love to talk and get info the real estate market for 2023.
You can find me on Instagram... @ziffedtraveler
Hi there, You mentioned something called "in driver" when you were discussing taxis. Is there an app called that?
inDriver
Did I miss it? When did you actually show the house? Talking about the house, but no pics or video of the house. I guess this video was just about talking about the showing instead of the actual showing. :(
You missed where right at the beginning I say "we can't show this house so don't look for it." It's providing pricing and neighborhood info, but wasn't a house that we could show. But people still need real estate info and pricing and such. It would be far better if we had video of it, but we provided what we could. But it was clear right at the beginning of the video that we couldn't show it.
However, we DID get a tour many months later of the same house. So you can see it here...

@@ScottAlanMillerVlog Serves me right for skipping around. Thanks for the general info, though.
