Send me an e-mail telling me what you are looking for on both subjects. I think you will find my responses reliable & certainly they will be honest & factual. I live in Puerto Plata (7 years now), am not involved in property sales or investments, but know my way around & how to make a buck or two investing. If you have any doubts about me (or worries), please feel free to post the question on the board & see what responses you get. Best of luck - Grahame.
