I just posted something similar to this. I am a Realtor in upstate NY and we had agents from Punta Cana visit our office. They made it sound like a decent investment to purchase there. I will be there in February 2024 to take a look around

I am considering buying an STR in Punta Cana. It's a bit scary to purchase in another country. Rules are not the same as in the US. I am looking for some insight. Thank you

Nice to meet a local thank you for the info :)  I am in East Greenbush 

I own 2 STR's in FL and I live in NY. I don't have a Prop Manager. I hired amazing house cleaners. They live in the area and know if well if I need anything more than house cleaning. I have a Ring doorbell to see who is coming and going. I have a coded lock on the door. I do NOT want to pay 20% to a manager for something I can handle myself. You can do it!

Does anyone use a Life Coach?  If yes, can you recommend where to find a reputable Coach?

Investment Info:

Condo note investment investment.

Purchase price: $622,000
Cash invested: $180,000

This is my 2nd STR in FL. This one is Anna Maria Island a place that I love. It's a condo with a pool and other amenities directly across the street from a gorgeous beach and in walking distance to many amenities

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

My STR in Key West is doing well so I wanted another home in FL

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

My Realtor helped me and we negotiated the price down by $28,000 in a selling market

How did you finance this deal?

Loan from Cross Country Mortgage

I want someone to take inside/outside and Ariel shots.  Looking for a referral please and thank you 

Hence, the reason why I self manage.  Giving a manager complete control of YOUR investment for me is a hard thing to do.  I am afraid to say they don't all have your best interest at heart.  Some do I am sure.  If you hire one, you really need to be involved to some degree to make sure they are doing a good job for you and making you the most amount of money possible.  Feel free to call me to talk about my personal experience.  

Allowed?  I would insist as the owner!  You are in control
