Hi Jon. Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking to set up the pro account this weekend to post there.
1. I must say that's a good idea re the hotel/resort developments, but there's a lot of politics to deal with in that area as well. I find that most AirBnB villas with beach access provide good income for individual investors as they would be the primary owner of the property who manages the listing/payments and then deligate the duties of chefs/tour guides to an on-site supervisor.
2. For me, listing on the mls is a last resort, as 'sometimes' a more hands on approach helps to better filter the passion you have for something than if it were just listed and in some cases, forgotten. This may take more work but at least it provides a more direct contact with interested parties + less commissions if it goes well.
3. The government can only confiscate a property if it's has outstanding mortgages/ illegal activities being investigated. If the actual owner has no liens on it and is up to date with their property tax payments, the only thing to worry about is ageing dirt and insects.
4. Again, ownership disputes are only possible if you are a joint owner with someone else and both of your names are on the title, in the event that disagreements arise between you too ( i assume this is the case worldwide).
5. Healthcare is available, however the type of healthcare is important. If it is something in the category of major surgeries (brain/ heart) or cancer related chemotreatments, no doubt, the US will have better resources to handle those emergencies, but locally, the the hospitals here are actually equipped to provide optimum healthcare, private hospitals moreso at a higher cost with better service than public.
Hezron.
