If you didn't know in DR the word machete refers specifically to the one with the big rounded head, this type of machete in my picture is called Colin.

This is so spot on. I would never buy here in a million years. Besides, I probably couldn't get a mortage, even with 1/2 down. I'm a happy renter.
To cut sugar cane, swing a machete = Chapeo... That's where the word Chapeadoras was originated.
Chapeadoras = Chicas on Pedro Clisante St.

I am perfectly happy owning my house, and paying no rent. When I die my boys will inherit my home in Canada, and my wife, if still alive will sell my house and keep half. We have several more houses and properties here, and we have sold several with good profit. We have clear title on all but two properties that have deslinde almost complete. Judge in the land court in La Vega is a childhood friend of my wife and that helps at times.
Could not agree more about owning. My wife and I built a home last year in Jima Arriba and we just purchased a lot in Don Persio La Vega and have contracted for a home to be built there. Not at all worried about any of the problems that have been mentioned previously. I can not stress enough about the use of a competent lawyer to ensure that your paperwork is in order.
Real estate is the best investment you can do, I see some of my coworkers driving Mercedes Benz, huge trucks and all type of luxurious vehicles but renting apartments, in my case I prefer to drive old inexpensive cars but live in my own house.
My mortgage is really low compared to the average monthly rent for a small apartment in town. In the other hand I have earned a huge equity during the time. If I sell tomorrow I can retire and go to DR with no worries of 🤑.

We’re SO far off topic here that I have no choice but to close this. Plenty of other Haiti threads.
