I don't think that a lawyer or a contract will do any good. If you are planning on being an absentee landlord and letting other people come in and farm your land, you will soon find that they will have built their houses, moved in their families, built their own fences and so long land..... There is a Canadian guy in Las Terrenas who holds title to an entire barrio called Come Pan, and he waves his paper futilely in the air, saying that he is going to evict the hundreds of poor families that have come in and built on "his" land.... Possession is 9/10 of the law-- here is even shiftier--- just fence the land and put in some cattle and forget the dream until you are able to be here in person.
