If one want's a safer place to play in that arena I'd suggest to follow the Oracle of Omaha and look into the transportation leg of O&G, more volume = more transport = more revenue = more profits.  100% correct, but wasn't expecting someone on an REI forum to come at energy like this.

“Force Majeure” means: hurricanes, floods, extreme weather, earthquakes, fires, or other acts of God, unusual transportation delays, wars, insurrections, civil unrest, or acts of terrorism, governmental actions and mandates, government shut downs, epidemics, or pandemics, which, by exercise of reasonable diligent effort, the non-performing party is unable in whole or in part to prevent or overcome.

You can create custom maps to mark areas of interest, track properties you're considering, and note key amenities like schools, shopping centers, and public transport.

Shellpoint has repeatedly cashed my checks (which were on time EVERY MONTH) and continues to fail to properly credit me (even though coupons were enclosed).

That will help narrow down the questions - if an investment you'll focus on the high tourist area with major airports flying in/out, good local transportation system, less than an hour drive from the airport, a low crime rate etc.If personal then you'll look for an environment that suits your taste (tropical, party central, secluded, dive-friendly, luxury, affordable etc).Almost every island I've visited has realtors from America who decided to setup shop there and help out-of-state investors purchase property.

So proximity to public transportation and services is really important to them.

Added an enclosed dining room.

. - Conference ticket/registration- Hotel Room- Flight + other transportation- Meals on-site, etcConference experience costs are much more than just the registration fee. 

However, if a carport is an enclosed structure that looks like a building - meaning it has a roof with solid walls and a door, it will be considered real property (27.5/39 year). 

It impacts the cost of everything...food, shelter, transportation, health, recreation, labor.
