Hummm....Friday afternoon don't be surprised if you have to reschedule. Remember you are on island time, we experienced that while building our home. Also, if they tell you it takes a couple of weeks, prepare yourself to double or triple the time.

I see it as their lost. I get to keep my money in the stock market and let it grow. They can then wait until I come back or they can sell to a different person for less since prices are dropping.

Is this the big house you sent the link for? So glad for you! I'll be looking forward to seeing it since you're in the neighborhood! Penny

No, this is a small house 3 bedrooms 2 baths in an acre lot with a nice hydrophonic green house and a separate covered building with a kitchen and grill area. Owner is also willing to sell me 2 adjacent acres for an additional 150k. He said until he sells them I can use the 2 additional acres. There is a pond in one of those acres that has a LOT of tilapias. He is also going to leave like 40 bee hives if I want them and wanted to also sell me a few cows, but I told him no, that I wanted to retire not become a full time farmer. Property is in Ceiba, about 1000 feet over sea level. Great breeze. I have enough space to do some self sustaining, put in a pool and maybe build an additional 2 story house to rent. But one thing at a time. I may buy the other two acres in a year or two and maybe build on them聽

The large house you refereed to was going to cost me too much to rehabilitate, so decited to pass on it.

Rey, it looks like you know what you are doing. Better to get everything in writing so there is no confusion.

When we rented our house, the owner said that we would go to an attorney to sign the lease, which was fine with us. Since I read Spanish, I took my time and read the lease before anything was signed.
It has worked out well and we recently signed another lease for a year. We wanted one for 2 years but he said that the Atty advised against it. We were planning on buying then house in a couple of years but are not sure now of his intentions. I just pray that whatever we do, that it is the bright decision.

Good luck.

Only what is in writing counts, any items with a handshake are likely to be thrown out of court.
Thanks
PS. Closest neiborgs are 2 acres away and across a street.

Oh that's a great spot! Roosevelt Roads is going to develop聽 into a great recreation area and it's right in your back yard along with the back side of ElYunque. I'm sure everything will work out fine!

Hopefully they build something that attracts money to the area and not a poor housing project.

So happy for you Rey

Thanks Penny, We almost gave up. We were getting ticked off over the inability to reach an agreement. We told them today was it, take it or leave it,

But we should be set.

It is amazing how quickly this whole thing has gone, Rey.聽 I'm so happy for you both and wish you all the best!

Being able to speak the language, knowing the culture and how to charm people and connect with them, finding a great realtor who is willing to do what it takes and go above an beyond its job, and a little luck goes a long way to getting things done in the island.

Cute pics!聽 Adorable kids!聽 Um, was that a snake in his hand?!?!?

Yes a snake. My oldest son found it in the grounds of one of the houses we were checking. My wife would not go near it.
We like most animals including snakes, mice and rats, used to have some 10 pet rats. One was called willer.

I'm sure you will enjoy the iguanas of Puerto Rico

Oh yea, but they are hard to catch. My dogs would love chasing them, they are fast!!!
I also like the Lagartijos - small lizards, when we were kids we would wear a pair of them attached to our earlobes. We would make them open their mouth and had them bite the earlobe, once they bite they have a hard time letting go. It does not hurt!!!
Need appreciate nature in all its forms.

Rey, the house is beautiful. I love the tile floor and the outside space. Good luck with the sale of your house in MA.

Also, I have some holy water here if you need it. I spread some on this house when we moved here. I am a firm believer that it can't hurt.

Take care.

Tonie

Thanks, we like it also. You can bring some when you come and visit us.
