I visited several cities in Chile in March, 2006. I am interested in purchasing either a home or building site in Bahia Inglesa, especially the Bienes Nacional property near Playa Blanca. The Chilean Consulate in Chicago indicated Bienes National property can be obtained through a "State Realtor" but failed to explain what those are or how to contact one. Internet searches so far have yielded nothing.
At least two American expatriots and a friend who is a native Chilean living in Santiago have discouraged me from trying to purchase land in Bahia Inglesa citing their general distrust of northern Chilenos in general! Please let me know if you can shed any light on this.
Information on purchasing property, etc. in northern Chile shouldn't be this difficult to obtain!
