First, nothing against you, but please don't "dude" me, you don't know me yet well enough.
Since you asked for "real" knowledge... here's is one:
If your tenants don't care to vacate the premises on your wishful terms, it can historically well take 1, 2 or even 3 years to eventually have them evicted the legal way... years during which, their attorney (if they have one) or their street wisdom (they generally believe to have) will suggest them NOT to pay ANY rent to you anymore... ever.
Some local landlords may resort to non-legal help to "politely" suggest to stubborn tenants it is indeed time to move on, in well, no uncertain terms, shall we say... but you, the gringo, would be utterly ill advised to try to resort to similar methods. Hence, your lawyer may suggest to try to give them a "little incentive", so they'd happily leave without taking the windows, doors and bathroom fixtures (no joke) along with them. Obviously, a lawyer would still like to see his negotiation skills being paid too, at the end of the day... something somebody else you seem to suggest to be a baffoon [sic... it's buffoon, it's a common mistake, but for further reference... if you like to insult people at least have the courtesy to do it in style] implied in maybe a joking manner.
I understand you got a lot of answers or suggestions and maybe even comments you did not really seem to look forward to. But believe me, not only is it a nature of the "beast" (Internet forums), but some really contain advice you ought to heed.
Good luck... J-D.
Thanks for the advice. Really it is appreciated. You seem to have gotten offended when I referred to you as dude but you also seem to think it is O.K. for you to give advice in what seemed to me to be in a somewhat condesending manner in your previous post saying I need to hone certain skills etc.. Please remember it cuts both ways because you do not know me either and don't know if maybe i might be working with a Dominican partner so all that type of unsolicited advice might be totally unwarranted not to mention you never did not respond at all to my original question if the price of an evivction I was quoted was the norm.
Just to clarify..... tenants paying 400 pesos a month.
Don't you mean 4000 pesos a month? I can't think of even the lowest of the low living accommodations that go for 400 pesos a month.
No its 400 pesos thats why I see alot of potential and decided to investigate a little further.
I never mentioned Guzmans name once.
Keep attacking everyone,.....You obviously have a lot to learn...hmmm..go figure.
You must be a barrel of laughs at a party.... NOT
I mentioned Guzmans firm and a price i was quoted and you responded with a breakdown of that amount so if you were not elaborating on that ............ then what the hell were you elaborating on ????????? Were you just ranting ???? ... Oh well maybe there was some humor that i did not get ... i think we probably just run in different circles and I probably would not be a barrel of laughs at parties in the circles you run in and I don't think you would be any fun where i party either. :glasses:
_______________________________________________
I started with what I thought was a really simple question. I also think I put it politley saying that the I enjoyed the many knowledeable responses to questions posted on here by Sr. Guzman and heard many of people express their satisfaction with his services.
I continued by saying that i had talked to his son and I took the time to state that his son's english was much better than my spanish. Sometimes when I begin speaking spanish it takes me a little time to get back into the rythym and get my ear in tone and maybe this was the case on the day i called. We communicated well but i did not feel 100% maybe 90 or 95% and just wanted to get some others opinions that had some expierience with the eviction process and the costs to see if we really understood eachother as i was amazed at the price.
For the record. Sr. Guzman I have had little interaction with your firm but would not hesitate to use your services as I have never heard anything but good things.
To those on this board : I have read on other boards where people express their expierences of coming on this board with a simple question and being attacked. Since begining this thread i have even recieved PM's from other members telling me that they are also fed up with some peoples synicism , rudeness, and condescending, replies. Theses people seem like a very unhappy lot and need to get off the computer and abouts a little more.
This of course does no include everyone, most seem to be good natured and helpful.
To the more recent replies thanks again for your much appreciated responses and for so generously sharing your expieiences.
