I think renting is agood idea before buying and or building here, especially if you havenīt spent much time here. The various areas of the island can differ greatly, as well as property costs. Generally, other than Santo Domingo and Santiago, the more developed in tourism an area is, land prices follow in price. But rentals continue to be inexpensive compared to stateside prices. And costs of construction are a fraction as well. But just like anywhere, this place a little while to get the hang of and testing the water depth first is usually better than diving in head first.
