Want to buy property in the D.R. - Need extra funding

[BushBaby]

In my list of questions Nudel1 I was looking more for NAMES of the people/organisations involved. Have you got any you are prepared to pass on? With these names, those who live in the area surrounding Cabarete can give (hopefully unbiassed) impressions of their work ethics!!

To those of you suggesting Nudel1 has a Dominican boyfriend, I see no confirmation of this here - have I missed something? It MAY be but I certainly would not make that presumption. There is absolutely NO reason why the 'Partner' should not have come out from the UK with Nudel11 ...... (Perhaps it would be sensible to confirm either way Nudel1 just to get the information out there IN WRITING!!)

The 'RENT THE PROPERTY for a year' seems to have some support - give it a shot with the vendors!! They turn it down & you walk away. Remember, if YOU are having difficulty raising the money with YOUR background, what sort of difficulty do you think 98% of interested buyers are going to have??? It is (if you handle it correctly) a Buyers Market at the moment!! ~ Grahame.

Yep. Know your type and don't take offence--I'v made a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$ off of your type (of personality) in real estate.
Next time you're passing tru NY contact me. We'll have a cup of coffee and if you really have those kinds of bux let me try to pick some off of you before those people in Cabarete do.
LOL.

And that is why they're treating the op (the naked one) so well!

They're 'selling' you doll! Listen to what these good people are telling you and rent the place. That was the best idea yet!

You might be loving the advice, nudel1, but you are not heeding it. Had you paid any attention to my post you would have come back and questioned me on it, argued with me, debated a point or two. But you didn't. Seemingly it was received with 'yeah, yeah' and on to the next. Frankly we are so NOT on the same page...................... Regrettably I have other calls on my time and so only devote my energies to threads where I think I can be of use. I don't think I can be of any further use on this thread and I don't have time for long advisory posts the comprehension of which disappears into a veritable tsunami of optimism.

You took the words out of my mouth, froggie. And I think probably we'll see more & more of this. Well, we can but offer the best advice we can. If it isn't taken, all we can do is retire to the sidelines and.............watch the show.

I said break out the pop corn at &am today. Saw it shaping up exactly like this.

Oh dear... I seem to have incited a veritable torrent of information that threatens to drown me!! So much time has been taken to pen so much advice that would make any potential investor want to run very fast from the DR.
Perhaps it peeves most of you that the DR is getting more exposure for its' attraction, and perhaps you wish to keep it for yourselves?? Hmmm??
I really do appreciate the advice - from the posts you will see that I have made 3 very good contacts which I am following up via PM. My original post asked for an investor - if that is what I find then that's great... I will definitely heed all your advice - there is nothing I want to come back and argue on - I said all along I wanted information and that's what I'm getting.
And who knows, I could become a CONSTANT POSTER if I am lucky enough to reaslise my dream.....
The show is not over until the fat lady sings (I am not fat btw and I do not sing) ..
Thank you DRob for fantastic information - I do agree with you all but none of you has been to the property ...

Over the head.

Anyway, best of luck to you.

I do SO hope you meant that as a joke Nudel1 otherwise you will have incited several more people to dislike your responses. IF you mean something in jest it is a good idea to indicate so (using [lol] or [joke] or one of the smilies situated to the right of the text box when typing). We are NOT in the habit of trying to keep SENSIBLE ex-pats out of the country - just those who are going to fall flat on their face &/or cause those Ex-Pats who live here to be seen as a load of easy targets by the Dominicans!gre:

Perish THAT thought!!!

Indicating (despite all the coments made here).............. decision MADE!! BUT Nudel1, how do you KNOW we have not seen the property?? Three or Four of us may be those 'Interested Parties' you were told were thinking about buying!! WE may have recognised the problems surrounding the property & walked away from it knowing it would produce serious financial difficulties in the near future when the creditors came crawling out of the woodwork.

Have you seen the up to date electricity payment receipt? Have you checked local tradesmen to see if recent work has been paid for? How about the telephone bills, the water & maintenance bills? Have ALL the suppliers been paid up to date?? If not, YOU (as the new owner of the property) will become responsible & HAVE to pay them!!

NOW will you believe we are looking out for your best interests & not be quite so flippant about wanting to keep the DR for ourselves?? ~ Grahame.

You know johne, maybe we should help nudel out? You & I between us can easily come up with £300,000 - it's only US$600,000 mas o menos. Perhaps we should think about this? Course you'd probably have to rethink your Bozo Beach project, but you can do that one later. Whatdaya say? If we help nudel she'll become a constant poster after all.........
