I copied this from an expat exchange for expats in the Dominican Republic. This is a realestate agent warning expats to stay away from "the Locals" white privilege and racism. The country belongs to the locals and the ex-pats are the guests. They need to learn some respect. If you are looking for Realestate, dont use Las Terrenas Homes

Hi! We are fairly recent expats to LT from Canada. Honestly, violent crime against gringos is still fairly rare, I don't think it's any more dangerous than any North American city. Property crime can be a concern in some areas. When purchasing a property, choose the condo complex with adequate security. It's nice to have peace, quiet and isolation, but these factors also make your place more attractive to break-ins. We did buy a two bedroom condo on the beach, and absolutely love it. So far no problems. Mind you, I might be a bit biased as we started a rental/real estate company here. Another thing to be wary of is that unfortunately, the less you deal with locals the better.
