I have seen a few posts from people who have built a house or will build a house on the island. Rey, I know you have a beautiful lot that you posted a photo of. And a few others, whose names escape me at the moment, have mentioned building. I am wondering how challenging that would be if you are not a Spanish speaker? I would assume that you would have to rent somewhere there during the building process, rather than being away during the building process. Otherwise you never know what you might end up with! I assume that it would be much less expensive to buy a house that is already built, since houses are so much much less expensive now, due to the economic downturn. But maybe property itself would also be less expensive, so you could get a good deal on a lot too. But how much does it cost to build there? I am guessing that it costs more to build there than on mainland? With the economic downturn, do you think it could also affect the cost of the building process? Either they need to make more on each house so they charge more, or they need the work so would do for less? For those that built, what is the average cost per square foot to build a house. I am just wondering it it is even feasible to consider that option? I would love to have a mid-century modern one story house. How hard would it be to find a good and honest builder, that could build a proper and safe house, that does not skyrocket in costs as the building process goes on? I know that happens everywhere, but am thinking that it could be much more likely to happen to a white, "gringo" woman that doesn't speak Spanish?
