My parents brought they house in 92’ for $62k 3bd 2 bath Miami, FL
I knew this was gonna be some bullshit. Nothing justifies having 4 million illegal Haitians in DR. They’re our historical enemies, they reproduce 5x more than us, and displace our women and children from the hospitals and schools. You also need to be respectful of the nuances. They don’t like us, a lot of us don’t like them. Period.
HI,en mi lista!😀
Vamos 👍🏾
Any black who does not want to come to DR, stay away.
Thank you for watching. I agree.
Thank you for sharing. Your home is beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Thank you
Thank you for watching.
Great video!!! I watched it when you initially posted it
I'm re-airing a few of the videos. Some people claim to not to be able to open them. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Hello Bridget my name is Rudolph we just bought in vista Cana ziba villas and golf residence there sorry we couldn’t use you but we had a realtor we were recommended by our friends in Las Vegas i bought a villa with doors and windows that open the whole room i see you have screens on your property can u recommend someone that will be able to do custom screening for my patio doors as well as windows. Thank you.
Thank you for watching. Congratulations on your property. Your Realtor should be able to recommend someone for you. My husband did ours.
Hey Bridget, Is it allowed to promote Airbnb on your channel?
Thank you for watching. Yes it's allowed.
Thanks for the re air...those prices cant still be the same from 2022 can they?
Thank you for watching. They actually have a few under 100k in Phase II for sale.
What neighborhoods do you recommend for a family with children?
Thank you for watching. I'm team Cocotal all the way.
Hello, I really like your channel. I do have question? A friend is buying property near Punta Cana , and I think he is being taken for a ride. Because just for the land alone he has to pay $130, 000 . And he says that he has 4 years to build on the property, or it reverts back to the sellers? Is that common there in PC? Because I live in the capital , Santo Domingo , and i never would have signed a contract like that! Plus i believe has over paid for the Property. He also was using the sellers lawyer instead of having his own which i believe was a mistake and, a conflict of interest. In any case he has already paid $80, 000 so far is is bring the balance at the end of this Month. I wish he had gotten in touch with you when i sent him your channel months ago. But, i will keep you in mind. for the future. Thanks
Thank you for watching. It definitely sounds like a scam. Why is there a time frame to build if he owns the land? He should have another take a look before he gives them anymore money.
Hey friend!
Hey! How are you guys? When are you coming back to PC?
I agree with you. Now, that officer might intentionally pull over Americans so he can get money.
Thank you for watching. That's the only point I was trying to make.
Hi Bridget
Hola!
Thanks lady
You're welcome.
Hi there, how’s it going nice sharing.
Thank you for watching! Everything is terrific here.
I find hard to believe the prices you are stating here. Am in Cap Cana, and my monthly bills are so so so much more. Btw, there is home insurance in DR, many companies offer it. We want to inform all the people that might want to move to Punta Cana that your monthly bills are not the normal. You might be 1% of what most people pay here
Thank you for watching. Those are our actual bills. And I know several Americans that live near me who are only slightly higher because they consume a lot of alcohol. Home owners insurance is a new thing. I interviewed 5 people who filed claims and 5 out of 5 were never paid. So I don't trust it.
Hi, I missed the episode of homes under $200,00. What date that one aired?
Thank you for watching. It will re-air tomorrow.
@@ebonyladiesinthedr8583 thank you very much, I do enjoy the topics you expose, keep it up.
That's about 85 meters
Thank you for watching. I think you're right.
Great video! We plan on moving the Punta Cana after we retire. Your videos have been very helpful. When we're ready, I will definitely be contacting you.
Thank you for watching. I'd be happy to help.
Great video. Do you have any homes for sale in Cocotel? Are their other properties that offer the same amenities, such as having the use of the resort, as your property? We plan on moving the Punta Cana after we retire. Your videos have been very helpful. When we're ready, I will definitely be contacting you.
Thank you for watching. Currently there are some great options in Cocotal. And every owner gets access to Melia. When you're ready I'd be honored to be your Realtor.
There should be a good Dominican match-making service. Everytime I go there I think about dating.
Thank you for watching. I have thought about that.
HI Bridgett(neighbor), Love your videos, You are using the word Mortgage Insurance, instead of Home Insurance, They are 2 different kinds of insurance when purchasing a home, just in case anyone from the States or Canada gets confused, Home insurance protects you in the event of loss to your home or liability, and (private)Mortgage insurance protects the bank in the event a borrower stops paying their mortgage or defaults. In the States the bank would only require mortgage insurance in the event a borrower puts less than a 20% down payment. keep the videos streaming, thank you for the great content.
Thank you for watching and the correction. I'll post a follow-up in a few days.
"Im tired of these big booty Dominican women" ..I don't think I will ever say that.😂😂
Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for watching!
Health insurance prices are good
Thank you for watching. The prices are good and the services are even better.
I can’t wait to book my flight 😊
Thank you for watching. Come on. It's a great place to be.
Hustling hard to save to get there
Thank you for watching. It will happen. And we'll hang out at the beach together. 😀👍🏾
I love it!
Thank you
HI Bridget is always nice to see you video
Hey, thanks
Great video and great property. I have a villa in the Don Pablo property next door and there is another new development on the other side that will be called Eco Del Mar. Very quiet, safe and secure hidden and tucked away there
Thank you for watching. I love that area. They are doing a fantastic job over there.
Ricoyoung was it had to rent? Do you like it better than buying? We're relocating after retirement and never thought about renting until this video.
You're so cute 🥰. Thank you for this video. My lease it up in October and I'll be looking for a new apartment soon.
Thank you for watching. I hope it helps.
Keyring, we're relocating after retirement and were thinking about purchasing a home. However, after viewing this episode, renting might be a possibility. Is the process similar to renting in the states?
@@carmelitahogan5300 hi there. Typically here you're renting from an individual. That's been my experience. Depending on the landlord you'll be expected to pay one or two months deposits,plus the first months rent. They'll also expect you to pay for the contract to be notarized. That's usually around $40 or so. It's pretty easy. Some may ask you for proof of income as well.
,@keyring86, that's not bad at all. I thought it was like in the US, that you're renting from the owner of the apartment complex. Was it easy to have the utilities turn on or put in your name?
@@carmelitahogan5300 my first apartment the landlord kept the utilities in her name and we just paid the bill. The second two places I've lived we put the utilities in my husband's name. We just needed ID and a copy of the lease I believe. I think we also paid a fee to get connected.
see how this is getting ya'll want to Americanize everything everywhere just because you don't want to pay a flimsy ticket? is not going to change anything about the system when I get to travel back to my parents homeland I don't want to be reminded that I'm still here in Miami FL for example smh
Thank you for watching. Maybe you didn't listen closely. I prefer to pay my ticket vs. offering a bribe.
What will you say about those people online that say that Dominicans are racist?
Thank you for watching. I would say to them, "that I have not experienced any racism toward myself or my husband".
Tenías que ser Haitiana para no querer a los Dominicanos. Solo los Haitinos no les caemos bien. Tenías que ser otra frustrada,no es nuestra culpa que tengan ese país. Cada quien tiene lo que se merece.😊
You're great lady ❤
Thank you!
Estoy de acuerdo 100%. Thank you, Bridgett for being a positive voice of the island of the Dominican Republic. 🇩🇴 let’s all contribute to the positive development of the island (good citizens make great countries). ❤👏🙏👍
Thank you for watching. I will always strive to be the person I can wherever I call home.
idk seems a little hypocritical for a habitual law breaker here and the United States(speeding) to be pointing the finger at someone else breaking the law. do you think someone watching you speed influenced them to accelerate? maybe. her offering sounds like she's just being proactive trying to go on her way. the amount really dosent matter. also, you said yourself that you could just be like "I dont have cash" and refuse to do so. so is it a REAL problem. do you think said officer(if new) never heard of bribery or was he planning on being top flight officer of DR making changes for a whopping $500 US? maybe but making a whole video on it is a little much imo but it is your channel.
Thank you for watching. Habitual law breaker is a bit much. But I'll take it. And i'll take my speeding ticket. Instead of breaking the law further by offering a bribe. You're right...this is my channel and I discuss topics that matter to me. I live here full-time and would like to live in a place that I don't have to worry about senseless stops all because the police are corrupt.
@@ebonyladiesinthedr8583 your welcome. see that's it again. "I broke the law, but not like that person. them bad". im Dominican citizen that's been coming here every summer since I was born(36) and currently spending half the year in process of being full time and sorry to say, that's not changing anytime soon. its cute to think that there will be a place without corruption. also even without bribes that's something that's done in the US. at least here you know its not cause your black.
Indeed. Keep these shorts on what to do in PC. Even though we're leaving today it is an excellent idea. Enjoyed the 1st video as well
Thank you. I'm trying to add more content whenever I have time. Next time you're here we need to hang out.
Good stuff
Thank you.
And things like this is why people in some of these countries are starting to RESENT expats.
Thank you for watching. I agree 100%.
This is not the US tho
Thank you for watching. So you would "offer a bribe" to get out of a ticket? She paid $2000 pesos. And the tickets are never more than $1000 pesos. Common sense isn't so common.
Why is it where ever we go it seems to be a problem? I'm just sick of this behavior!!! I just saw a video about some passport bros fighting in Thailand...grown black men fighting in another country over words that obviously were building up...then I'm watching a video of a few Black women who moved to Mexico and not having their sh** together financially ...begging and asking for donations...translation: give me money....these are grown people over 40 doing the most...Never go to another country if your finances aren't together...Some of yaw need to keep your as* in America!!!
HI
Hello
I absolutely 100% agree that "offering" a bribe contributes to corruption. But simply paying a bribe "solicited" does not. It goes to what you said is the officers intent. If he had no intent to ask for a bribe and you offer it, you corrupt him. If he already asked for the bribe and you paid it was solicited meaning his he was already corrupted. I like you have a lead foot and have been stopped maybe a dozen times as was SOLICITED for a bribe every single time. I have paid it every single time except once because I didnt have my wallet and no cash. However as it is not my desire to pay, I knew 1000% I was guilty of speeding on the highway and what I paid I was going to pay no matter what, either to the office or the bank. SO do I want to live in that wonderful world in the DR like you, yes. But I dont have the patience or energy to make it come true and my time is more valuable. And yes I too know how corrupt the country is, although I dont complain on facebook. Overall a great video and keep up the good work
Thank you for watching and sharing your viewpoint.
You are absolutely correct!I 1000% agree!❤
Thank you. I appreciate that.
I don't live in the DR, I've visited for over 15 years because my wife's family lives in La Vega. My wife as well as members of her family who are born and raised in el Cibao have said on many occasions that givng the officers un chin pesos is a way of life, expected, not viewed the same way as here in the States. Is it possible that you're looking at the situation through an "American" lens/perspective and not that of the perspective of a local?
Thank you for watching. The person who offered the bribe is not a local. And through the eyes of any sane person - it was the wrong thing to do.
Why you all use the word Expats, if a person wasn’t born in that country they are foreigners. Is this an invention to upgrade one’s esteem from being a foreigner ?. Upload the law first and foremost, take the dam ticket and go pay, this is the problem with foreigners always flashing $, ruining the economy. No wonder the Spanish, Italian and most European countries are protesting about foreigners and I’m not talking about illegals these are white/black any kind of tourists. Wherever you all go you ruin it.
Bridgette my last stay in punta cana me & my son were walking bck from ole we were stop by policia I knew Spanish but acted like I know English only they frisked us they thought we were Haitian until I pulled out my U.S. passport they left us alone was very upsetting to my autistic son I was not giving up no pesos period
And what’s your point? They are doing their job.
Thank you for watching. I appreciate you sharing. I hate that happened to you. I have an autistic friend and it takes all day to calm him down after any type of unsettling event.
