    Before considering buying a home check first to see if the land comes with it. Many older homes passed down through the families do not own the land just the house. We recently tried to buy a house on a nice piece of land and when we went to the lawyers to draw up the paper work, we found out the person trying to sell us the property only owned the house not the land. Years ago it was common for people to just pick a piece of land and just build on it. Squatters used to be a big thing here. The woman who was trying to sell us the property never told us that her father had built a house on it before and the family was in court trying to argue who owned the property. The woman only owned the house she built on it herself not the land.

      True, I just learned this from a neighbor. Also squatting in homes is HUGE. Santurce with all the illegal Dominicans many are squatting in homes.

    Tried for four years. And problems with moldy clothing. Windows open all year round. Next mice problem. Can't have any food out. But still no generator due to cost .. not know almost impossible to garden here due to chickens everywhere dig up garden. 4 dollars per watt for a generator. Plus my salary dropped almost half. . So I had to change stuff. Concealed car insurance . Home owners not available. But home is concrete. Still trying to figure out cut costs.

    I am so glad you mentioned growing your own food!!!! I cannot believe that people on the island actually buy stuff that they can grow themselves. I am first generation mainland Puerto Rican. My dream is to by a place in PR and just plant whatever I can. I am so disappointed in my family members when I visit and see store bought sofrito in their fridge!! I live in Chicago and I make my own. How I would love to plant all the ingredients myself in PR and harvest. Love your videos.

    I was born and raised in Dorado,PR. At the present time I live in Chicago. but I definitely recommend to really take a deep look at the places where this cheap houses are located. This neighborhood can be dangerous. Best option is to buy/rent in an access controlled neighborhood. Definitely recommend Dorado, Guaynabo, Rincon, Isabela and caguas. Also Diane Cohn I think your videos are very wise and accurate. Thanks for the education.

    You covered a LOT in this video and all true! I love Puerto Rico and coming from a big city where everything is so readily available takes a lot of thought, planning and soul searching when contemplating a move there. I have gone every year for 8 years for 2 weeks. This year I spent a month and was sad to leave. Next time I go I hope to stay for 3 months. I need to slowly stretch out the time so that I can get used to the way things work there. Eventually, I want to be able to stay there 7 months out of the year.

      @@amylee9 I end up not moving to Puerto Rico. I had a much better job offer in Texas. Trying to get my mom to come and stay with us. My dad passed away so I’m trying to get her here. Although my brother is there I’ll love for her to come and stay with us.

    Just stumble on this video. Had to see it as I am a former islander.
    I still have family living there. What you said about Drs and waiting to see one is 100% true. My family has to get up early morning to go to the Dr's office by 3:30 to 4:00 am just to be in line. They tell me that by the time they arrive at the Dr's office there is already a line form! Do you believe that? They are usually finish by 3:00 pm. I don't think they believe in apts.
    I used to live in PR back in the mid '90's. I remember that on my days off I would spend a whole day just to do one errand due to the LINES!
    I don't know I could live in PR because of those lines!
    As far as Drs goes, my understandings is that most have left the island. I live in TX and most of my Drs are from the Island. There is a lot of PRicans in the medical field that move to TX because of opportunities. Same with cops.
    I hope something would change over there. The island needs Drs and cops. I would like to move back over there.
    Will see.

    A quick question I’ve lived in Hawaii for a decade , A very ongoing problem I had was staph infection from sand or beach’s . Hands anyone you know had that problem???

      Possibly at beaches near industrial or sewage dump areas. Staph is a sign of water contamination.
