Back in Dominican Republic: Apartment Inspection

[@jayok.3682]

Truly insightful thanks

[@tylemcorp1]

Hey Hennessy, thanks for the content and all the details on running your short term rentals in the DR. I live in NY too and just purchased my condo in Sosua/Cabarete area so your videos are invaluable. Thanks

[@hennessy.hostedhaus]

@@tylemcorp1 that is so exciting? Will you be doing Airbnb or is it just for personal use?

[@BIGJ-kb3vc]

Excellent! I've stayed at places where my host didn't pay so much attention to detail. Can't be in the rental business to just grab money. The best advertisement is word of mouth, and repeat customers. 👍

[@hennessy.hostedhaus]

@@BIGJ-kb3vc 100%! People forget that it is a service industry, you still have to provide great service especially through the space itself.

[@roninthewanderingtravelerTV]

Good video.

[@hennessy.hostedhaus]

@@roninthewanderingtravelerTV thank you! 🙌🏽

[@edwins1062]

[@makingmoney8470]

[@CEE-DUBB-1]

Absolutely beautiful Hennessy ..where is your property located ? If you don’t mind me asking

[@hennessy.hostedhaus]

@@CEE-DUBB-1 thank you so much!!! The apartment is located in Bayahibe

[@CEE-DUBB-1]

Wow were long way from each other ,I’m in puerto plata ,I’ve been here for 3years I retired from NYC .im never going back there ..hurry up and get out of nyc 🙏🏽if you can

[@hennessy.hostedhaus]

@ love that!!! I definitely am working towards it hopefully in the future.

[@CEE-DUBB-1]

ok Hennessy sounds good 👌🏽

[@martinf9626]

Can you tell me why in DR they install the sink in the corner of the kitchen counter ??? instead of installing it in the middle as it must be done ? It's a nonsense , but the apartment is good looking

[@hennessy.hostedhaus]

@@martinf9626 😂😂😂 that’s a great question. I will say for the kitchen in this apartment I would imagine it’s probably due to the distribution of where they put the stovetop. If the sink was more towards the middle you probably wouldn’t be able to have 2 people in the kitchen at the same time. lol but I completely feel you I also prefer the sink to be more in the middle

[@amabelisalinas364]

Wow great video, and great explanation. Question what is the rental fee for month on 4 to 6 month lease. Would you be able to share that information

[@hennessy.hostedhaus]

@@amabelisalinas364 it depends the time of year. I personally do between $1300 -$1400 but does not include electricity. However it does include bi-weekly cleanings, and internet along with all condo fees. Everyone sets this up differently, but I’ve found this works well for me in finding longer terms rentals.

[@fastrust7388]

hai there

[@gradyaustin4580]

Thanks for the video. We are contemplating investing in D. R. What city is your unit in? If you don't mind divulging. Would you be willing to offer information about your process of purchasing units in that city?

[@hennessy.hostedhaus]

@@gradyaustin4580 that’s amazing. I am mainly in La romana/bayahibe. I have a playlist called investing in D.R with other videos explaining the process on purchasing a unit or even how to work with the bank

[@DukeBX]

Does the DR continues to experience electrical outages?

[@hennessy.hostedhaus]

@@DukeBX not in areas like punta Cana, bayahibe and other touristic areas where electricity is now provided by private companies. Although expensive it provides 24/7 electricity. Of course this is not the case in local areas or in more rural areas.

[@DukeBX]

@ Good to know. Thanks for the information. 👍

[@ralphblair9968]

Hello how are you today iam looking for a apartment in DR can you please help me

[@hennessy.hostedhaus]

@@ralphblair9968 hi! I am doing well, hope you are also doing well. If you know the area you are looking to invest in, my best advice is to find a local real estate agent that is familiar with the particular area you want to invest in so that they can guide you based on what exactly your needs are and price point.

[@TonioXenon]

Nice place! Gate remote probably just needs a new battery.

[@hennessy.hostedhaus]

@@TonioXenon thanks, after speaking with the condo admin other people are experiencing the same. I ended up ordering a new one

[@bretttittle3966]

Sounds like bragging moment

[@hennessy.hostedhaus]

@@bretttittle3966 wasn’t my intent as I was talking about things that are broken or need cleaning 😅. But also not mad if that was the impact lol I worked hard for it I have bragging rights 😂
