Even if the property itself is "cheap," the maintenance and repairs never are.
What a find!
What a dream home! "This house has history, and now Michel and I are part of it." Sounds like a good opening to a novel. :)

Hi,
I think you may have replied to me my mistake, rather than the top level post!
Maintenance and repairs in Morocco are a song compared to what they are in the U.S., and the craftsmanship is extraordinary. You'd die if I told you the quote for repairing the corner of the house, which includes steel rebar reinforcement. You couldn't add a deck to a house in the U.S. for that amount. Some things in Morocco are expensive, like cars and internet service. But many other things mirror the ratio of dirham to dollar: one dirham equals approximately ten U.S. dollars. So a repair that would cost upwards of $20,000 in the U.S. could cost as little as $2,000 here.
Amazing!!!
