hello everyone.
few things i am trying to understand, hopefuly someone can clarify them for me:
1. how much time it is going to take from the moment i make an offer to the possesion? month, two, year?
how long is the title clearing going to take?
how does it differ if i pay cash versus finance? is cash faster or irrelevant as long i provide full amount at the closing?
2. what is happening when i make an offer? do i have to put some sort of deposit (how much) and pay the rest on closing?
3. if 2 is yes, who holds an escro account, is it safe?
4. how many inspections i am entitled to have?
5. how many times do i have to come over to dr during the process of buying? my understanding that at least 2 times: 1st time to make an offer and sign a contract and 2nd time for closing, unless some sort of power of attorney is executed.
6. how do i pay: bank check, bag of cash, wired money? how soon i'll get the title and exactly how: by mail, i have to go and get it personaly?
7. what is the quality of properties in dr? i don't mean concrete walls and foundation, i am sure it is solid and can sustain hurricanes, but i am talking about general quality: roof and windows likage, mold, bugs, cracks and so on.
8. how is the criminal situation over there, what's good and not.
my undestanding that north coast is ok, south like sd is not.
many thanks!
