There should be a choice number 4 which would be to put the somewhere else besides the DR.
Agreed 100% .. None of the above. The DR is a place to come and enjoy that money, not to put it into something that will give you headaches no matter how bored you are. You have extra cash, travel and see the world.

An investment also doesn't mean open a beach shanty or a wings and pizza joint. Either way there are more sane things into which one can sink his hard earned cash. I believe they were discussed above.

I just sold an apartment building at a reasonable profit on what I paid for it, and spent fourteen years living there free of charge. If you're not looking to make a killing, but just to have a reasonably comfortable life, it can work out OK investing here.

Anyone who bought anything in this country 14 years ago, regardless of what it is, and sells at today's price is going to make a nice profit.

Back when I was working and traveling a lot to the home office, I used to go to a small breakfast place nearby. (Small being a 12 seat bar and maybe 4 tables.

The guy opened at 5 and closed at 12, IIRC, and did all of the cooking himself.

All he had on the menu was breakfast items. Cheap and fast. Eat and leave, not a bunch of folks sitting around chatting and drinking coffee.

Every time I went, there was a line outside, usually 5-10 persons.

Another example of making money on volume, not price.

Not accurate. Volume sales affect total profit, price points (which are derived based on a goal margin) reflects efficiency. You can sell a shit ton of mangu and eggs very inefficiently but the overall effect on profit is in the black.
