Hi all,
I was thrilled to come across this discussion forum today.I can't believe that with all the research we have done that I didn't find it until now. GREAT SITE. Have read all 167 messages. We visited this past Feb. We had a very positive rental experience,loved Luquillo,all the fabulous places we visited and all the very welcoming and friendly people that we encountered. Not to mention the amazing outlet shopping!(went home with 2 extra suitcases). We loved our vacation so much that we are now also looking into buying. There do not seem to be very many units for sale...none on this site and only two 1 bdrms with a local realtor. Are they usually so hard to come by? How long do they usually take to sell?How is the U.S.Mainland's housing crisis affecting sales and prices? What did one bdrm condos go for a yr ago? Ten years ago? A couple of investor type's here in Canada are telling my husband all the horrors of foreign investing...a big topic brought up is problems with titles to properties. We do know that most of us Canadians are not aware that PR is a US Territory and wonder whether they don't look at it like that or perhaps we are simplying it too much? Have any of you had such problems or heard of this? What is the reference to a lawsuit against owners of Playa Azul 3...these condos are for sale in that building..would this affect future owners? What about another building possibly going up that would affect people's views from bldg 3? Any advice would be great,as well as posive and negative stories about condo ownership. Renters on here are leary of owners...what about problems that owners have had with renters? Are there any Canadian owners out there?? Any comments on the local real estate company? Taking a long time to get responses to questions. Is this usual? It sounds like none of you use a management company...how can you do this? I have read that keys are mailed but how do you have the place cleaned and checked after a rental? How can you take care of maintenance issues living elsewhere? Sorry if this is too long...please help us get some of our questions answered...we would love to be sitting on the beach with all of you again. Thanks.
