Just looking for some heads ups, pros and cons. We have been looking at retiring to the DR on the north side, Sosua area. While visting the DR in the past all of our experiences have been wonderful. Is life in the DR this way all the time? Other than legal issues which we have already put feelers out for what other things should be be aware of. The home will be purchased in cash. I noticed that the cost of aoutomotive fuel is still cheaper there than what we are currently paying. We like to live a comfortable life style, good food good drink that sort of thing. Speaking of food, what is availible as far as fresh meat and fish?Other than food and drink what would the average cost of cooking fuel, phone, internet access, and electricity run a family of 3?
Heath care? Is there anything availible? Hospital visits payed in cash?
Hurrincane season..big concern, how does it effect the north coast. Like any natural distasters I know one has to assume the worst case senerio. I've tried to fine facts about the north coast and hurricane results but at this point have not been too successful.
I will likely have more questions as time goes by, but this should satisfy my appitite for now.
If you have had any real life experiences please let me know, remember I'm looking for pros and cons, please try and be honest.
Thank you all in advance.
