      It's the humidity. Moist warm air it's common in mexico as well. It's like not having a window in the bathroom.

      If you have mold it's a bad construction problem due to lack of proper material used.
      I'm from Jamaica and our homes legally have to be made from cement, sand and steel. The sand has to be a certain kind and the cement mixture has to be a certain consistency. Buildings done to code never has mold. It seems your state not holding builders accountable. It can cause respiratory issues.

    • @eileenwatt8283
      @eileenwatt8283 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@TheDominicanRoute it seems the DR has poorly constructed homes. Mold should not happen if they use the right kind of cement mix with the proper sand. Jamaica has some of the best concrete homes in the Caribbean and they don't get mold. The climate is the same as the DR.
      Mold can cause respiratory issues. If it's on your stuff it's getting into your body. You can't see it. That's probably why the place is so cheap.
      How did it pass building inspection
      If there was one.

    I'm from New York and moved to the Dominican Republic back in 95 and lived there until 2015 and decided to move back to states due to the political corruption out there but I do admit that I dearly miss the country and it's people and jovial energy that surrounds you there. I loved the country and I'm currently in the process of building new homes and setting up a couple of air bnb in samana and Puerto plata

    • @seek5139
      @seek5139 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      The 5k is a one-time payment to invest into the property you live in. From then on, it's $350 a month. In NC, renting a 3 bedroom in crappy condition is $1500 easy. Sure you can find cheaper but it might be worse living conditions. Jersey 3 bedroom apartment rent is about 3k in the hood. Sure, you might find it for 2k, but you get the idea. You can't beat $350 a month

    • @MickeyBonna

You we exactly right about having to buy all appliances, ac’s, hot water heater and furniture. You told me $15k when we talked last year for everything including 3 rents upfront. If I was to guess, I would say around 12k? I will try to total everything. Anyway spot on video…

  • @arthurkingii2476
    @arthurkingii2476 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    What's wild, I came across a new construction apartment adverted as a long term rental. In the video, I noticed there were no appliances in the kitchen. Dude, what's the deal on kitchen appliances. "Yeah, you are required to provide, customized to what you like." I'm thinking to myself, who the hell travels with a damn fridge? Seems common practice out there. I need to double check my purchase contract to ensure appliances are included. Believe it or not, Germany is even worse. Your kitchen is an empty space. Not only must your provide appliances, but cabinets and countertops also. When you get your a/c, mold will no longer be a problem. Keep the closet door open and let the cold air circulate throughout your apartment. This will eliminate the moisture. Ensure you get units with a dehumidifier feature. For days when cold air is not needed but you still want to reduce the humidity. Thanks for the video Homie.

    Great video brother!
    I am Dominican myself but from Bonao and when the time comes I’ll be retiring there with my wife. I’m not a city boy so we’ll be going back to my roots lol…
    You found yourself a nice place there and the convenient amenities are great (specially the gas) and the water tower is nice to have too.
    What part of the country is that? I’m guessing Santo Domingo but not sure. I could t get the area by the way you said it 😅 but I guess it is Profesor Juan Bosch but I’m still not familiar with the area.
    But anyways I’m glad you’re loving it!
    God bless you

      @TheDominicanRoute I myself am American, and my wife of nearly two years is Dominican. My wife lived in Boca Chica when I met and married her. Her son joined the Air Force, and she wanted to live close to the base so that she could drop him off and pick him up when he went on or came off of duty. They took me to see the Christmas lights on base last year. Unfortunately, my visit this year is short, and we won't be seeing the lights this year. I want to bring my wife to the States for a couple of years until I retire from my work, then move back to the D.R. to enjoy retirement.

    Having the gas supply u safely installed, its worrying. That should be in a secluded enclosure with a roof and locked access. As a Dominican i don't trust that. The other thing is that water heater. Very worrying that open flame, with pipes running close to the batteries, plus the C02. That's a portable water heater BTW.. Very poorly installed... 😢😢

    • @TheDominicanRoute

      That is a great question but 1. mostly it is two deposits and first months rent . 2. Some places do credit checks some places don’t do credit checks depending on what agency or owner you go through. 3. Two deposits and first month rent.
