Safe it.
what can I do to put away a good 4 g's US n make some interest off it in the DR?..I have no problem changing it to pesos, or is that just not gonna happen?
If I may assume that 4 "
g's" equates $4000.oo (?), I don't think you will get much leverage or impress any financial institution into giving you a hugely preferential rate. Probably your #1 option will be to deposit it into a local bank USD account and earn a measly 1% their savings account may pay out.
I am in no way belittling your savings, btw. And thus I urge you to be wary of spectacular offers you may get from other "institutions" or people offering "investment" opportunities to dump your money in.
I think that unless you are prepared to take the risk and entrusting it to a local private "investment" firm or have safe ideas on investing it into some of your own business ideas, there are better and safer investment tool available outside of the DR.
Btw.
Cooperativas/os -
Associaciones de prestamos/ahoros where initially designed to be somewhat similar to your neighborhood/community loans & savings in the States. I don't know what their operational status here is today.
