Are you looking to move abroad and start a new life? I share with you some things we did to prepare to move to Dominican Republic.

A good way to survive in another country is too put money in dividend producing ETFs or stocks. USA money goes a long way and you’ll get paid while you live overseas.

[@davidr9482]

You have definitely done your homework. I fell in love with la DR. I am originally from El Salvador but I am thinking of putting a five year plan to purchase a home there and hopefully follow your footsteps. The information you provide on your videos is invaluable and others try to charge a fortune for less guidance. Thank you, it motivates me even though I am just at the idea stage of it all.

[@NorberisR]

Thank you! When you start working your plan the time will start moving faster and before you know it it'll be here.

[@clytchan]

That was a very important video. When most people think about moving abroad, the cost of shipping their possessions are not at the forefront of their minds. Unless your pockets are deep, the cost of moving should be thought out thoroughly.

[@NorberisR]

It's definitely a big part of moving. You're welcomed.

Great video. I tell friends, that if they can say their worst day in the Dominican Republic is better than their best day in the USA, then they found home. Very excellent video. Loved it! You guys are doing a great job adding value to peoples life. Values/Lifestyle Assessment: This is important because what you value will determine your lifestyle and including budget. Are you a consumer, do you need a big house, the newest car etc. Or are you a bohemian type minimalist and need less. Know your values. AWESOME VIDEO!

[@NorberisR]

This is very true. Thank you for sharing.

[@Dee-pj7hh]

I love the way you and your husband make decisions and compromise on what need to be done on order to move back to the DR. As you and others have shown planning and downsizing is everything. It’s the key. Thanks Norberis very informative I am paying attention.

[@NorberisR]

Absolutely!! I think downsizing is very important because at this point you start to realize how much you dont need. Glad you enjoyed the video.

That was a very good video. I have been living in Santo Domingo Este since October 2nd, and I keep pushing my departure date back. I'm now planning on leaving February 15th, but I am, definitely, considering moving here permanently. I am already looking at land, and I have a friend who has a credit union and another friend who has a construction company here. The advice about the car was very informative. I have been renting cars since I've been here, and as you and your husband know, that's very expressive. So, I've been thinking about shipping my car over. Thank you very much for all of the information.

Very good video 👍 am in the process of doing the same thing .....been planning for about two years now .....am going to be pensioned so no need to work....going to buy the vehicle there ( could not get a straight answer about how much it would cost to get it shipped) , have found some good dealers willing to work with me as long as am paying cash $$$....have an apartment and house in Santo Domingo which I won't have to pay rent for parents gave me ownership ( they very happy am the only child going back to live in D.R. ) so even though I live comfortably here in the U.S. I just feel better living in the D.R.....the U.S. has been good to me but it's time to close this chapter and start a new one .....

[@NorberisR]

Very well said and understandable. The car shipping company in Fort Lauderdale is charging me $895 just to ship the car. The taxes once the car arrive is what's so expensive.

Hola Norberis. Thank you so much for some great information considering I will be making that move in 20-24 months. It’s good to know what to ship especially cars & electronics

[@NorberisR]

You are very welcome. Shipping as much as you can in barrels is the best and cheapest way to ship your household good. Shipping furniture was way to expensive, it's better to buy when you get to DR. And shipping the car was reasonable from Fort Lauderdale it's the taxes when the car arrives that's drives up the cost. Still it was more cost effective for us to ship than buy.

Hi, were moving over there soon and we were looking to ship our 2015. What kind of car did you ship? Were you able to use that returning resident tax "discount"?

We are shipping through containers. Those places you mentioned are way too expensive to ship household goods.

[@rodneyfelder5109]

@@NorberisR when you mentioned individual cost like a bed frame, I just assumed you didn’t use a container. My understanding with containerized shipment is that the contents are not itemized.

I am thinking of shipping my car but I am still making payments. I was thinking of trading in my car to offset what I owe. If it's cheaper to ship than to buy then I would like to find a way to get a car there.

[@NorberisR]

If you own your car I personally think it's better to ship because sometimes in DR when you buy used cars you don't know what you are getting. And also, used cars can be really expensive. But if you don't have a car at all the best option maybe just to buy one here.

Hi Noberis, I have a question and hopefully you can answer it . .. I’m an American that lives in the Dominican Republic in sfm , for over a year . As an investor what brings concerns are rents… there too low! For example I buy a home/apartment for $225,000 factoring the maximum I can get for rent (furnished )it would take me over 30 years to get back my initial investment ( let’s say I bought it cash) .. when house pricing goes up doesn’t rent goes up as well?… from what I’m seeing it doesn’t.. why not? if the economy is growing ? It would be more attractive too investors to see a property that can cash flow with a higher return .. specially if housing is in the rise ? .. thanks in advance.

[@NorberisR]

I understand what you are saying but I'm guessing that you are thinking in buying a new construction property for that amount? to me it is hard to get out your initial investment fast when you buy an investment property paying top value price. And yes rent goes up here as well.
