Buying a home or building one is actually cheaper when it’s from the owner and your Dominican yourself. I learned that they over charge foreigners a crazy amount. I’m trying to buy land in Samana

Brother You are great sir being a blessed person of god while living a peaceful life with your family, hoping and expecting peaceful life ahead. But, brother I have very bad life having lost my job due to covid pandemic now I am struggling with another phase of life if you help me Financially I can start myself a new. Thanks

Love your videos. We are getting ready to purchase a house in the DR. Thanks for your great commentary.

Congratulations….it has a nice flow, great curb appeal in a wonderful neighborhood…and the backyard is nice. Should provide years of enjoyment. Awesome video!

Iam Dominican and I want to tell you that you can put permanent hot water ,installing the new system of solar panel and that won’t cost you any monthly spends penny

The thing with many "professionals" "burning" you is not just in real estate, it's in EVERYTHING. If you need a plummer, you go to their place and ask, and they'll say a specific day and time they WILL show up, does not happen. I've had so called professional plummers, electricians you name it say they will fix come and fix a certain issue, and never show up. Being here for 10 years, have taught me that if you can do it yourself, DO IT YOURSELF,. You will only get frustrated by having broken things that nobody cares about fixing or that you have to spend months of trying to get a "serious" person that actually shows up when they say they will. So if you are planning on living here for a long time, be aware of that, NEVER expect people to hold up their end of the deal.

I'm excited to see this series play out. Good luck I'm sure you will find some surprises once you start opening things up.

Danny hope you enjoy your life style in Dominican republic, I wish you the best.

Yes! I can't wait to see your remodel project 😍 ☺

If you don't like living in DR why living there? You can't go to the DR with an American mentality! Enjoy life as it is, embrace it... That's why people LOVE DR because it is different, and people there are the happiest! Do yourself a favor and change your approach so you can live a long happy life! BTW you can't buy materials in the US to build over there that's when staff starts deteriorating. We have good quality craftsmanship just depending on your bank account and wallet! Friendly reminder BE HAPPY! FYI....

Congrats on the house. Guess with all the refurbishing projects you will tackle to bring it up to a standard you're satisfied with, your time at the bar will be cut back quite a bit so you can be on site to keep an eye on the work being done. But hopefully those of us who enjoy coming down to your spot will be able to have a beer or two with you from time to time.

Small bit of advice, reno one room at a time or you'll get overwhelmed and after a while you'll pump a fortune in you home. Major expenses are the plumbing and electrical. Lots of hidden surprises with older homes especially ex rentals where the owners didn't give a shit. Good luck.

I just bought a house in puerto plata and the first thing was to replace the 1960 tile , when they attempted to take up the tile they found it was cemented in to place so the Concrete had to come out , just as well because there wasn’t any Rebar in the floor and it was sinking in spots ….. good luck

I love that house.

Congratulations I stopped by the bar and you were out. I would like to catch up with you some time. I have been following you for about 6 months now. We moved here in we live in POP

Great video,

Totally love this house!!! Congrats. I understand that you want all the same amenities that we have in USA but I don’t think the electricity can handle all of it. Also, I think it’s insane that the HOA dues are same as in the states. Definitely want to see the upgraded version.

Where will you buy your large appliances and building materials? Very informative video.

Hi.. Congrats on the house. Im looking to buy in DR. First time I see ur vids. How did you funded the purchase? Cash or Loan. If loan where did you get it from and where do u recommend to check for loans if thats an option. This is probably a dumb question but do u happen to know if any intstitutions in the US will fund a purchase in DR? Sorry for the 30 questions and thanks for the info.

Hey Danny, Congratulations! I really thought you would have chosen a closer area to your business, like in Residencial Hispaniola. The same guys that sold you this house, I also saw them selling villa 99 in Residencial Hispaniola, and I believe it's in better condition. Wish you would have moved there. We would have been neighbors! LOL! But I wish you the very best to you and your family!!

Those cabinets 11:11 - They look like good, solid quality. Just need to take the doors off and sand and refinish everything... add new knobs/pulls. If you don't like the natural mahogany look (I do!) you can use a stain to change the appearance.... a light coat of semi-transparent stain (light or dark depending on what you want) where you can still see some wood grain could look fantastic. Would be an easy job for a decent cabinet guy and not even hard for a DIY. It would be a shame to trash those mahogany cabinets. Edit: Haha... now that I finished the video I see you are going to re-do the whole kitchen. Oh well! 2nd Edit: A general word on Dominican kitchen cabinets.... I would only contract new kitchen cabinets there until seeing a couple examples of the builder's work. Kitchen cabinets are not the same skillset as building shelves for behind the bar. I've seen a few new kitchen DR jobs where a year later some of the doors are so warped you cant close them. And these were not cheap kitchen remodels. What I would be cautious in avoiding is cabinet frames and boxes built of pine. Many are there. That's one thing about mahogany -- it's very stable.

Hey Prem - talk to Tay and Phil @drpropertyguys. I TRUST them completely and they give very good advice. Tell them that gave you the Danny referral .

Are you concerned at all about the structural condition of the property? (In other words, enough rebar and correctly tied together on the corners, etc) Considering the possibility of seismic events throughout the Caribbean I wonder if it is not better to supervise construction and make sure a home is seismically stable.

@WhiskeynRum

Very concerned. That's why I picked this house. Older construction when concrete and rebar were super cheap. I don't know if I would do a new build here right now..
