Invest in a rental property in the Dominican Republic : my 5 top tips

Fear of missing the family, a new country that doesn't always offer the appropriate structures, an immigration policy and some heavy administrative procedures, are all reasons that can hold us back. Yet we love this island, its many assets, the kindness and nonchalance of the local people, the feeling of freedom and joy in everyday life. Staying there a few weeks per year seems then like an ideal alternative but we know it’s difficult to find a rental each year at a good price, for the desired months and in our favorite area of the island.
