- This is a wonderful Ajijic East Village home, recently remodeled, showing what you can do with a 'fixer upper' and imagination and less than $70K! Also learn a little about the history of Mexico Independance Day, as this house is located on 16th de Septiembre; Mexico's Independence Day!
Linda does her version of the events leading up to the famous El Grito!
Oh my gosh I love this home so much!!! This woman is brilliant in her design!! ❤
Really love the homes you are showing!!
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your comments!
What a great house! I love the original doors.
Hey Tizzink...thank you for noticing the doors and for watching and liking my video!
You do the very best videos! Most of the homes that you tour are out of our price range but I watch them anyway! ❤ I love the coziness of this home and would definitely be in that pool naked! 😂
You are my kinda gurl Tiffany! Thank you for liking my videos...I hope you clicked on subscribe (that's the only way a 'gurl' can get ahead in this UA-cam world. And guess what, there are plenty of homes in the low $200K that you can make just like this for probably less than $40K...including the pool. But it takes time to wait for 'this contractor'....but it's worth it. Come on down and let me know.

Hello Linda, what is the Street for this house?
@@Love_prompt_tapping_therapy Hello. The street is 16th de Septiembre.... The date of Mexico's Independence Day! The house is sold, but I have another listing coming up on this street very soon; it will be more expensive, as it is a newer and better home. That price will be between $435K and $450K but also furnished. If you want to go all the way, I have a Villa on that street coming up in late December. It will be $1,520,000M. And yes, we have many homes here in the millions of dollars! You always get what you pay for! Cheers, Linda
Thank you for sharing, I will fellow your show.
Stunning!!!! Great presentation.
Hi LC. Thank you so much for watching and hopefully liking and subscribing to my channel. I love that you loved my presentation. Making videos is not easy, but I try to make each one fun and a bit different than just 'showing a house'. Again, thank you for watching and thank you for taking the time to write. Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 Hi Linda, I wasn't expecting such a quick response. : )
After viewing a few more of your videos I keep coming back to this one as it is the exact style I would want, that garden area is amazing! After a little research and Google mapping, I was able to find the Google map street view. I see to the left is a huge mansion (love to see the inside of that one) and to the right the Bodega Bar and Restaurant. I wonder how noisy they are as a neighbor. lol. And they are a few blocks from the Lake Chapala Society, so perfect location.
I do love this street/neighborhood and was wondering how often homes come on the market here. It may be 3-5 years before I retire, but this area is ideal.
Also, so mentioned in another video of yours that you also own a huge house in Ajijic and was wondering if you had a video on your place or how you came to find it. I just love watching these videos and hearing other peoples stories on how they made Lake Chapala area their home.
Yes, I did like this video and am I subscriber and look forward to seeing more of your home tours!!! Thx again, Larry
@@LC-bk7zw Hi Larry. I think it's important as a great Realtor and video personality, that I respond as quickly as I can to everyone who writes. Hey, that big mansion next door is actually MY house! Ha. And yes, we will be taking a video of this house in late October, as it will go on the market in mid November. I am also building 'another mansion' on the Privada behind my house (and Casa Verde/the Village Jewel). We will video that one also and it will also go on the market at the same time. Whichever sells first, I will take the other off; as I need a place to live, but I also need the money to finish my final three houses and selling just one of these will build those three. Neither of these 'mansions' will be inexpensive. Eventually you'll see. This one is about 7000 sf with a huge new pool, fabulous lake views from the second and third levels....very Italian and New York...not Mexican at all. After you have 'done a Mexican home' you are ready to move on to other styles. My first home was fully decked out Mexican. The single man who bought the house next door, has absolutely changed it...everything. The backyard is very male and barren. (But be exercises in the pool everyday and only has an electric bicycle for transportation! The upstairs is 100% different. He did not change much of the downstairs except get rid of the fans, add A/C and adding much better lighting. But it is NOT the same house that is in the video. People do that. They buy it because they love it, and then when they start living in it, they decide to make it more of their 'own' taste...and well they should! I am taking a fixer upper listing about four doors away (closer to La Floresta), but it will sell right away, just like Casa Verde did; within 10 hours of the video dropping, Tony from Albuquerque, having NEVER even visited Ajijic, bought it, full price, sight unseen and LOVES IT. La Bodega is quite calm these days...in fact, it will probably be closed in 2024, as they are building small rental Casitas in the rear. More money in renting AirBnbs than bad Karaoke! Ha. Thanks for 'liking and subscribing'...means a lot. Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 Wow Linda, what a small world that your house is right next door!! I can't wait to see inside your house as it looks so stunning from the outside. You sound like quit the real estate developer, which must keep you very busy.
I'm sad that Casa Verde was changed so much as it had so much Mexican charm. : (
But I guess he's allowed to make it his own. How does he like the restaurant next door noise wise? Guess it makes it very convenient to get a bite to eat though. lol
I'm looking forward to seeing your fixer upper home projects as well as your other projects. Be cool if we could see the before and after photos/videos. I love watching the fixer upper shows here in the States.
Would you ever plan on making a video about how you chose to move to Mexico, especially the Lake Chapala area? I really do love to hear peoples stories and yours would be a great one to tell. Especially all the real estate ones.
I really do appreciate you taking the time to offer such a detailed reply as many just click the like on my comment or offer a simple "Thanks".
When I do finally make it to Chapala area, hopefully in the next 5 years (if not sooner), I'll be sure to look you up as a realtor as your knowledge and experience are second to none.
Thank you so much,
Larry
@@LC-bk7zw Hey Larry. Well, Tony really loves his remodel and he had a chance to sell it and buy something not next door to La Bodega, but really, it is closed by 8 pm, except Saturdays...no big deal. Everywhere in Mexico, there is ambient noise. Mexico is a loud, exciting country. People like to have fun. This is not your Iowa neighborhood! Personally, I never hear anything except sometimes when there is a birthday party there and they hire Mariachi's! Ha. Gotta love Mexico!
It looks like she spent quite a bit of money fixing it up. Construction renovation is so pricey these days and hard to find people. So if you get a house like this that has quality work already done it will go for years. Very nice
Hi...sorry for the VERY LATE REPLY....that remodel cost her $60,000 USD. I can get the same thing for you. Find a time when you can come for 2 weeks and let's find you house and you too, can fix it up like this house or whatever kind of house you would like.....Remember, I've lived and worked her 23 years! Always available to real buyers. Thanks for writing and again, don't know how this slipped by me, Linda Fossi
@@fossidoesmexico4027 I would love to have you show me around the lake side
@@melaniesmith3954 Great Melanie. Do you live here? If not, will you be coming? When? What fun! Keep me posted. Cheers, Linda Fossi
Gorgeous house! Everything I'm looking for, in my price range, in the area I want to move to ... in a few years. :o(
Hi Callow! Well, for sure, there will be other homes 'in the area' and you can make them look like this home, just like this homeowner did! But, in a few years, the prices will not be in the same range...sorry to say. Anyway, you can 'get your foot in the door' with any house that will have gone up in value in these years you have to wait for your forever home??? We can find something in a good area, in the 200s and you can buy and rent out until you are ready and it will have gone up also and you should just put the tax-free rent money in the bank and save it all! Just ideas! Thank you for watching and I hope you SUBSCRIBED so you can get alerted when one of my new videos drops! Cheers, Linda
very beautiful home, somebody turn the piano players music sheet. I think he's stuck playing the same 6 notes 📝
Jajajaja (Spanish version of hahahaha). Hi Billy. YOU are so correct! Music under these home videos is very difficult; as UA-cam only allows certain 'public pieces' to be used. Horrible selection; but my videographer does the best he can (the presenter gets 'no' say in the music, sorry to say). But all in all, it all comes together, even if those six darn notes will be stuck in your head for hours! Thank you for watching Billy and I hope, in spite of the music you hit LIKE and even better Subscribe, as that certainly helps me, as a newbie here, get better placement. Most of all though, I appreciate your comments. Have a great day, Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 I still watched, great stuff
@@billygene8428 Thank you Billy. And just because it makes UA-cam put me in a better position, it would be great if you would hit LIKE and even SUBSCRIBE...that one really helps me as it takes a lot of those to move you anywhere! Take care Billy and hey, are you thinking of moving down here? If so, please give me a call, I'd love to show you this amazing town: 333 502-7831. Cheers, Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 Please no music, it's just distracting.
@@janeclayton151 Hi Jane, Thank you for watching 'anyway' and taking the time to comment. I'm sorry about the music, but I actually have no say in that. The videographer adds what he feels is necessary, but he reads these comments also and maybe he can make the music have less volume. Not sure; but we can try. Keep watching! Cheers, Linda
Beautiful Home. My husband and I are looking for something like this. I’m gonna send you an email to start the conversation.
Excellent Trasey! I am looking forward to receiving your email. lfossi@hotmail.com or by WhatsApp for quick chats: 333 502-7831. Can't wait to find out when you and your husband will be here! Thank you for LIKING my video (I hope you did hit like) and even SUBSCRIBE, as that puts me 'somewhere unknown, but better...in UA-cams algorithms", so I will be seen more. Appreciate that you both watched the video and that you took the time to make a comment. Cheers, Linda
I love this home, can they take $280k US
Hi Maria. Thank you so much for writing. I'm sorry to say, this home sold within 10 hours of this video for full price and today, a year later, with added renovations, it would probably list for $495K. Things here are just going up, up, up. Unfortunately, houses in great areas usually sell for list price or even sometimes, more than list price. But don't worry, there are homes out there that could sale for $280K. So when are you coming so I can show then to you? I'm sure we can find one you could make look very similar to this one! Looking forward to your arrival?? Linda
The banner is a 1/4 of the screen. How about reducing it to 1/8 ?
Hi. I wish I could, but I and the 'talent', not the cinematographer or editor. Once it's done, it's done. Sorry. Hope you enjoyed the video though, in spite of the banner. Have a great day.
So what if she's selling houses, all of mexico is selling expensive homes there's nothing wrong
Thank you, Blanca! It is true here and everywhere. People are always moving, always selling, and always buying. It is part of life! Thank you so much for your comment. Happy Weekend! Linda
There's only one reason she's selling this house: Because she bought it for less than $200k and wants to flip it for $350k.
Hi Rich Smith! Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Everyone is allowed to buy, renovate and sell...that's what RE is all about. But actually, the true reason she sold is that she actually wanted a much larger yard for her animals...many dogs and a bigger pool. That is the reason. And she found it, in La Floresta and she bought it and she is just about to start her remodel to make it the house she wants 'for now'...and yes, she will one day want to sell that house also and hopefully, she will make the money she put into it and more! THAT'S CALLED INVESTMENT and all Real Estate is an investment. Just like a brokerage account or stock market account. Except, they say that RE is the best of all those investments as the up and downs are not daily or drastic. I know you know this. Thanks for watching Rick Smith and your comments. Always appreciated. Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 I'm sure all the local Mexicans there in Ajijic who have to live in areas populated by wealthy, old Americans and Canadians love being priced out of a small town in their own country. I've visited Ajijic and Chapala many times and I really don't blame the resentment the local Mexicans feel being pushed out of their own cities and towns. I have lived here in Mexico for many years and I speak with the local people and they agree with me.
@@fossidoesmexico4027 Why would I need a Real Estate agent in Mexico that doesn't even possess a Real Estate license? I don't.
@@Resmith18SR excuse me, where is your license to speak for all Mexicans, especially not being a Mexican yourself? Take it from a Mexican, the vast majority of Mexicans welcome all Americans, rich or poor, that come to our country out of love for its culture, traditions, and its people. They help our economy, enrichen our culture and for the most part, respect their new home, Mexico. If your social circle of Mexicans consists if nothing but bitter and resentful Mexicans, I'm truly sorry for you. You're missing out on a lot of the Mexican warmth. Expand that tiny, sad social circle of yours.
@@Georgeed Perdóname Georgeed. I really don't need you to tell me that I can't have my opinion about Mexican people especially after living here for over 20 years. So you're saying that only Mexicans can have an opinion about Mexico or that their opinions are superior to any one else who has lived in the country? Hundreds of thousands of Mexican people that live in the U.S. have different opinions about the U.S. and no one questions their opinions just based and solely on the fact that they are Mexican. If you ever talk to people here in Mexico and I contrary to what you say have many friends here who agree with me. Being welcoming is not the same as addressing a real issue of gentrification and being priced out of areas and cities like San Miguel de Allende, Ajijic, Guadalajara, D.F. I agree that the vast majority of Mexican people are very welcoming and nice but they also have a right to feel that they are being priced out of certain areas. I certainly don't need you to question the quality of my friendships, that's very insulting because you have absolutely no idea about me or anyone I know here.
