I do know an ex-electrical worker who lives off-grid in Arizona. He compared what it would take him to build it versus paying them to run a line. Did it for less, and no monthly bill, but the guy did have quite a bit of knowledge before embarking on his own setup.

It only works south of a certain point to be off grid. Would never work in IL and they're selling the fuck out of it here. People simply don't understand solar energy. 6 months of the year here you'd be lucky to keep the lights on without a massive battery backup. Yet people drop $20k of financed trash on their roof.

They are selling lots next to the highway along the coast between Cabo San Lucas and Todos Santos.

The problem is it's near nothing; there will not be water nor electricity in these places for decades probably.
Some guys will buy water from tank trucks and have solar electricity so I suppose it's not impossible if you have the cash.
It's cash buyers too; you can't get a mortgage to buy land down here. "No way Jose".

So, we can buy in Chiapas?
In certain areas of Mexico, article 27 of the constitution prohibits foreigners from direct ownership.
The work around is a trust owns it and you control the trust.
