It is very interesting to read your posts. It's a real eye-opener for those of us newbees who really wish to begin the research. I'll be ready to make decisions in a few years so I'm beginning now, what are your suggestions? Which specific areas should one target which have the availability of the basics? Basics meaning: good living situation, opportunistic business possibilities/probabilities, meeting the right people; ones who can prove sincerely helpful in buying real estate and starting a small business venture, maybe import related and/or tourism based. Or beach activity, jet ski, boat rental, scooter rental. What are the tariffs associated with these types of ventures. Food is not of interest, nor jewelry or gifts. Leave that to the locals. Maybe portable a/c unit rental, water purification, generators, targeted auto parts like tires, batteries, brake shoes, battery systems, or solar power. Do I need to pay-off people for certain, or will I need an armed guard wherever I go? or can I simply bust my butt and not worry too much about being harassed by the thieves and or political systems.:nervous: and how are medical care costs?
I've been told that a person moving back to DR (a prior citizen) can bring in their belongings at no tax. Cars clothing etc.. on a one time basis. So if I partner up with a local moving in can prove to be a better deal. Or am I looking for trouble?
