Home invasions and property invasion are too prevalent in Dominican Republic.

Advice: Just Rent if you are a foreigner or a Dominican living abroad.

It is costly and complicated to remove a squatter; it is not worth the pain.

Or buy a place and live here like I did going back 22 years now. Whatever fits your comfort level.

Good advice.

I will rent only but home invasions are not the reason. Too many oopses can happen in a foreign country to invest in a big ticket item.

I actually like his "Andariego" videos, and I originally reacted with disbelief when he posted about this issue.
However, there is now additional information regarding this property, including some facts that were omitted. The lady's lawyer has been interviewed and, obviously, the story has taken another twist.

So, not so squatter after all?

As far as I understood, this is not a squatter situation. Supposedly, the lady has rights to the property, as a result of having lived with the previous owner for two decades.
It's kinda complicated for my non-lawyery brain... although I did take the LSAT twice: too low to contemplate acceptance at YLS, or even the Thurgood Marshall School of Law.

I took it drunk, so it doesn't count.

(And now even a couple of the Ivy's are accepting the much-harder GRE, or the LSAT... whichever the prospective student prefers.)

It's too bad the "Andariego" guy is in this predicament. Proof-positive that even locals are affected by complex real estate issues.
