Well yesterday was an interesting day.
We were about 10 deep to go thru a red light in the town of Fajardo. One guy behind us leaves the line, goes into the incoming traffic lane passes everyone waiting for the light, crosses in front of the 1st car at the light and takes a right turn. The lack of patience of that guy was incredible. Nobody was aggravated, but we were flabbergasted. I saw that happen several times yesterday.

Also saw several people on RT 3 use the breakdown lane as a traffic lane.

I guess I been out of the island too long, LOL.

My wife and I had lunch with Sugargirl and Frogrock. We had a good time talking about our lives in the states and what it was like for them to move to PR. Two very lovely ladies which we liked a lot.

Visited my mother and my brother which I had not seen in about 3 years.

It seems my visit brought rain to the island, I was told to come more often, for the rain not my presence.

Today we are meeting a realtor that will be showing us some nice properties that meet most of our requirements. We shall see how it goes. The properties seem to be in Rio Grande, Luquillo, Fajardo and Ceiba. These are spacious properties most of them around 2,000 or more square feet houses, with large yards and fairly new construction.

Depending on the hour we finish, we may hit the beach.

Oh, I forgot that going to the supermarket is a family affair and a friendly get together. One person pushes the cart and gets the items, while 4 to 6 people are gathered around them chit chatting and taking the whole aisle. There is only one line in the aisle, the middle! I had to constantly interrupt them so I could get by them. I miss it, LOL.

You can always ask for the appraisal for the property if it is a bank owned. I will get a local contractor to look it over and give you an estimate of how much will vost to fix it. $80k is a lot os money for repairs.

Good luck either way.

Yes I am having someone come see the property and give me an estimate. I will also check what the property is appraised for right now and what the taxes are. But I also have to see if there are zoning laws that will prevent me from using the property as a business. In reality the business is secondary, the place is amazing just as a house, business possibility are gravy on top.

This property once fix up can easily be worth 500K or more in PR and about 1.6 mil in the states.

BTW the 80K is my estimate for the work, that is the Max I would be willing to pay for repairs, the actual cost may only be 40K. I prefer to be conservative so I can make sure that I can afford it.
If I can pay 150K and repair for 80K or less, I am willing to go for it, It would be the Perez Hacienda and B&B.聽

that's really impressive...a lot to take care of though.

Way too much work for ourselves, but we plan to hire part time help to keep the place spotless and the grounds in tip top shape.

That is .... assuming we can negotiate a good price.

Likely the repairs will only be around 40k, but we are prepared for up to 80k. We have arranged for someone to come and give us an estimate before we make an offer.

I also have other business arrangements with other people to make it easier for Mainlanders to immigrate to the island. I am good at making business connections and having people see the value of the business arrangement.

Rey P. the house looks amazing. I know that it would make a great b &b. Best of luck on whatever property you select.

I didn't know your name is Reinaldo. That is my Hubby's name. What a co Inca dink.
Take care, Tonie

Yes Reinaldo, but most people call me Rey, it is less of a mouthful and they have a hard time rolling their R's. Visiting you would be very confucing since your husband and I are named the same.

Have your friends get a Babel Fish to deal with the Spanish.
42!

For those that do not understand the above, it is from the Sci-Fi book Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

42 is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything. This Answer was first calculated by the supercomputer Deep Thought after seven and a half million years of thought. This shocking answer resulted in the construction of an even larger supercomputer, named Earth, which was tasked with determining what the question was in the first place. The Earth was destroyed by the Vogons five minutes before its ten-million year program was due to be completed.

The Babelfish is a fish like entity you insert in your ear which allows you to translate all other languages in the universe.

The Electronic Thumb was a device used to hitch a ride on alien ships in the neighborhood of where you are located at the time.

Hitchhikers carry a towel because it can be used for food, as a blanket, a weapon and many other uses. No hitchhiker would leave without his towel.

It is a funny stupid book, you should all read it or re-read it if you have.
