Selling $17 Million Property to Leave JAMAICA

[@janettewest309]

It’s always good to have a house in Jamaica, something to come back to. Some people want to return to JA, but can’t because they decided to get rid of what property they owned. It is good to have your own.

[@andrefraser7309]

Exactly dem people yah nuh tink bout the long run.

[@iammamaselva]

i AGREE. I know so many people who want to return but is unable to come back. Likewise, real estate in Jamaica is accelerating quickly.

[@angellafraser638]

Your mom,she inspire me,she never stop improving on her hustle and upgrade

[@SOAIVLOGS]

Always!

[@angellafraser638]

So you know,you can never ever leave Jamaica, just gon for a little while and the world teaches you to appreciate Jamaica like nothing else

[@kattahb4103]

Angella, you are exactly right!

[@BelleChristina]

He’ll find out real soon 👏

[@MrCandytyper]

Ohh I know alot of Jamaicans moved to Florida and will never go back

[@damionjones5849]

I agree 100% with you. I left Jamaica 29 years ago and served 11 years in the USN, and I have traveled all around the world. I found my way back home. He is young with no children or responsibilities he can go and see the world.

[@damionjones5849]

​@MrCandytyper Never say never. Florida has become very expensive to live, especially south Florida. Jamaica seems like a viable option now.

[@bestsneakers]

I have been watching you for a while now. Happy that you have the opportunity to leave Jamaica. This will push you to the next level if you keep your head screwed on. Because there will be challenges even with the people you expect better from. But keep your focus and keep pushing, and you will be good. Also, please don't come here and settle but have a plan to escape. There are a lot of opportunities here, but it's nowhere close to being the best place on earth, especially for people who look like us. Anyhow, I look forward to seeing new content. Blessings and success in 2024.

[@erroljackson1719]

I thought England was a country of opportunity for immigrants until I've been here for a number of years, then I realise no where is better than home JA , the grass is not necessarily greener on the other side, but I guess you need to have the experience to prove it, JA is a lot better than abroad in many ways trust me

[@SOAIVLOGS]

Did you return to Jamaica?

[@cleverB634]

My sentiments exactly.

[@win30034]

That's life, its normal to pursue opportunities in other places. Unless you are reckless, you would not have left unless you felt you needed to leave, if that makes sense.

[@JahmekyaNo1]

@@SOAIVLOGS don’t listen to some of these people. Jamaica has its positives and abroad has positives as well. Jamaica has the culture, food, beauty and location we all desire, but it lacks opportunity for most of us, especially people from the ghettoes of Kingston like me. Abroad has the opportunities, but there is a price there to pay as well, racism, isolation, horrible fruits and food etc. etc. ultimately, life is what we make it, so make it what you desire my brother!!

[@SOAIVLOGS]

makes a lot of sense@@win30034

[@debbla627]

I am so excited for you go ahead and explore. I live in Toronto Canada for thirty plus years now. Nothing is given to me except that I work hard and take advantage of all the opportunities that Canada has. You have the drive to want more for your life and that is refreshing and I am here to cheer you on

@@mitsysimkelle2325 wow thank so much I really appreciate that

[@JNAllenstv]

I want to have a vacation place in 🇯🇲 (with the possibility of moving back to 🇯🇲), but sometimes I wonder if that’s the right move. I don’t like living in America, perhaps because I experience isolation and loneliness that are depressing to the human spirit. The laws in America doesn’t encourage socialization without expecting to get a possibly sexual harassment charge. Some states (especially states with a large minority population) are more relaxed to live, but to me I feel less in bondage in 🇯🇲 than the 🇺🇸. Notably, I am aware of the cons of living in Jamaica. The criminals, especially scammers are “nuff.” I have an Apple desktop & iMac and both cost me a total of $5000 🇺🇸$. According to my friends in politics, politicians hands are dirty in 🇯🇲, so I was advised to stay away from politics. I wish you great success in doing all good things. All the best.

[@winsomeg1124]

YEP. Exactly how I feel. The loneliness & Isolation in America is truly depressing. Many ppl are lonely here, even those who live in major big cities surrounded by millions of ppl. I'm leaving too. Won't be Jamaica though😊 Will visit not live. Not now.

[@KennyLauderdale]

Where do you live? I've been to some amazing cities... Dallas TX, Austin TX, San Diego CA, Seattle WA. I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale... I joined the Army and lived in Savannah, GA (great city). I don't understand the "isolation", please explain that part. Atlanta has a ton of traffic but... The city is good culturally. "the laws in America doesn't encourage socialization? Without getting a sexual harassment? Huh...? I haven't had to deal with that. I don't understand that part.

[@KennyLauderdale]

Also look at Cleveland and Boston... Great cities... I also Googled "best places to live in America" and a lot of votes went to Raleigh North Carolina... Definitely google like I did.

[@JNAllenstv]

@@KennyLauderdale For 24 years I live amongst majority Whites in Staten Island, New York & Gainesville, Virginia. I don’t know what it’s like to live amongst (majority) black folks, but I must add that places that have majority Blacks are more relaxed & scary to me as well. For example, when I lived at Mayport military base in Jacksonville, Florida it was a scary experience for me because the culture is more hostile compared to what I am used to back in northern Virginia (in the majority White neighborhoods that I lived). For example, I got my Florida’s license plate stolen off my car that was parked on the military base in front of my garage. I also got my cars sketched with dirty words written on them. Notably, vandalism happened to my cars only 4 days after I arrived in Jacksonville, Florida. However, for the many years I lived in northern Virginia I never experienced robbery, hostility etc.

[@JNAllenstv]

@@KennyLauderdale I am speaking about my experience as it relates to sexual harassment. I work with the county government & I vividly remember merely complimenting a “cock off” ears monkey looking white man’s ugly orange Halloween “shirt,” simply because he caught me staring at his shirt & I was reprimanded for sexual harassment. I was so traumatized and shocked that I quit my job to work at another location with the state government. Therefore, my point is this, not because you live in a majority black or culturally diverse environment please don’t assume that everyone has access to such opportunities in America. Many people, including myself, look at the cons of living amongst a majority black population especially if persons have children with autism or disabilities. Lots of people are so isolated and living a fake life because America encourages fake relationships otherwise known as internet relationships that have no meaning or substance. Facts are facts, America is one of the worst place to live because lots of veteran homeless people are spread out across the nation and many people are single and s6xless. I won’t even talk about mental illnesses in America, the overused of prescription drugs and alcoholism. Notably, if your lifestyle is all you know and you don’t aim for a more natural, peaceful and spiritual lifestyle, then you won’t understand the many problems or issues in America that are affecting people’s mental health etc. Essentially, to know what’s going on in America is to stop living in a bubble and just for oneself.

Heeeeeyy, little bro, Ghana still waiting for u to come back and complete what u started. Too much left for u to see and bringbackto your youtube family.

The Bible is the best teacher. Traveling is second. Pray for wisdom. Leave a base in Jamaica. America has opportunities, but it has many many challenges. For one you will never own your house in America even if it’s paid off. Jamaica has its challenges. They still have a lot to learn there as far as how to do business efficiently. Pray always for guidance

[@drmorgs]

What kind of fool fool statement is this? You will never own a house in America even if it’s paid off ? The same principle applies to Jamaica. I own houses in Jamaica and still have to pay property taxes and insurance. Same in America , you still pay insurance and property taxes. Stop tell people foolishness . I have purchased several house in the USA. Housing is the best investment.
