Real Estate

Will be on Culebra 3/9, and in PR till the 20th. I am a real estate investor, and would like to talk to an agent about something to buy there. I am looking at Vieques and Culebra. Anybody out there have experience with and agent that they would suggest? I am interested in spending a few months there next year and figured I would buy something to live in/fix up....

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks

You've never been there, right? How can you know whether you'd like to spend a few months there next year? What if you hate it, like our friend John Saje? ;>)

Seriously, 2-3 agents; two of them listed under Shelter, For Sale; other is Jim Galasso at Culebra Island Realty (stick a dot com behind it to get to his website)

How many hours???

Happy Diving!

Hours, 61.5 and counting....

I know, I know, I haven't been there yet. But you would not believe how good I am at research. I have but 50+ hours in the last year (since visiting Vieques) learning about your island. I will give you a history lesson when I get there. :)....

If it is what you guys are talking about, I am there next year for 2-4 months. I need a break.

Thanks for the references.

Debbies point is a good one. We spent a week at Bocas del Toro Panama 4 years ago and really liked it. Resisted pressure to buy at that time. We just spent two months there and decided it wasn't for us. Glad we waited. On the other hand, we just spent a month on Culebra and loved it. Next year we're going back for two months. Given the cost of real estate on the island and given the low price of longer term rentals, renting looks like our best option.

I've actually been meaning to drop in and introduce myself. We have a little bit of a history that you may not know about - we are the couple that tried to buy your house before you showed up (with more money or cash offer; never knew which for sure.) :( That's okay though; it all worked out in the end. And how ironic, you put this post under Real Estate. LOL!

Perhaps I'll see you this weekend. My husband is playing music at Heather's on Friday and Saturday - drop by!

Happy Diving!
Debbie
