This is very informative and could be used as a starting point for all would be property buyers, I agree with deelt, this should be a sticky. We wouldn't want this post to get lost or forgotten.

Talking A Near Masterpiece! Well done!

As a practicing attorney in a small town New England enviroment with considerable R E experience, this is a true gem! I'm appreciative.

* Food for thought: at times Atty. Guzman contrasts DR R E law with similar practices in the USA; possible additional useful info for foreigners:
* a. mortgages? How do DR banking practices, assuming a 1st mortgage on a residential parcel of R E differ from American practices?
* b.. R E brokers? Are R E brokers licensed? Regulated? Subject to governmental or non-governmental supervision? Details, please.
* c. Seller taking back a 1st mortgage? This seems t/b the common practice, among foreigners at least. Of necessity! Advangates? Disadvantages?
* d. The mortgage foreclosure process. Complicated? Expensive? Time consuming? Comments.

* Some of these questions may be of interest only to a [happy] former lawyer. Again, my sincere thanks for a job exceptionally well done. DR1, & Atty Guzman, keep up the extremely valuable info.

Losing your house to bankruptcy is not something I'd recommend!

The Dominican Republic real estate prices will go up due to it's popularity. What they need to do to help increse their prices is to have lower interest rates for borrowers.
