Thanks for the link. So was the Sende project one of these abandoned villages?
I'm curious about what you get for less than $10k, did your house need a lot of renovation or was it ready to live in? Did you buy it through the Sende people or independently?
As for the property values, this is worth checking out http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/08/23/433228503/i...
