I posted this information last year but for the benefit of those just tuning in to our regularly scheduled programming here it is:
Source: US State Department (Dominican Republic - Consular Information Sheet) September 14, 1999
"Investment Issues: Real estate investments require caution because property rights are irregularly enforced. Investors often encounter problems in receiving clear title to land, and title insurance is not available. Real estate investments of American citizens have been the subject of take-over attempts, either legal or physical. Squatters, sometimes supported by government or non-governmental organizations, have invaded properties belonging to U.S. citizens, threatening violence and blocking the owners from entering their property. Several U.S. citizens have longstanding expropriation disputes with the Dominican government and have not received compensation."
