    Great content. Would be really cool to see a video getting more granular on the various costs. Besides, the monthly maintenance fee, ranging from $250-350, what other costs are to be expected for such communities? For example, what are the annual taxes, any HOA fees, home owner’s insurance costs? Able to conduct appraisal and inspection? What are the associated appraisal and inspection fees? Other fees related to home ownership specific to Jamaica.

      Great questions. The annual property tax on this home is $29,100 JMD or $187 USD. Homeowners insurance is not required but recommended for seafront properties in particular. No HOA fees only the monthly maintenance fee. So outside of the maintenance associated with the home, the annual cost for this home would be the property tax ($187 USD) plus the monthly maintenance cost ($3,000 to $4,200). The valuation and survey reports would be between $300 and $500 USD (ballpark)

      No prob man. Yeah it’s definitely on the pricey side. I’ve stated this before but I think there is tremendous opportunity in middle income housing development in Negril. It’s almost non-existent
