We're in the process of making a final decision. Should know in around a month or so as to whether we're moving to Condado.

We are half there. My wife and her mother moved to PR in June 2017. I am stuck in Texas waiting for our ranch to sell. I take trips to PR as often as I can.

We're coming in January for an exploratory mission, after 2 trips and finally deciding against Ecuador. It was just a tad too 3rd world for us.

Came here just now because I just saw a weather tracker for Irma. Gonna be a close one.

Hi Puerto Rico posters

I may start hanging around here more often as January nears.

My house is on the market now! The day it sells is the day I leave for P.R.! It can't happen soon enough! I plan on buying land (hopefully around 5 acres or more) and building, and your info has been extremely helpful, Ray!

Coming back down in October to do some more scouting.

Not sure what damage you guys have endured from Irma, but if I may of some help to anyone around the East side, please let me know.

I will rent a car the first day and can get around pretty well, so just PM if you need some extra hands- light construction, moving, cleanup. Seriously, I would like to help.

Hi Doc, the east got a little of a beating, I heard Loiza, Luquillo and Fajardo. I am aware of news of a house in Loiza that lost its roof and another that got nailed by a big tree, Heard also of one in Luquillo. Fajardo got a beating but it was mostly trees down to my knowledge. Going by news so can not give you addresses.

I live in Palmas del Mar. We lost electricity. Otherwise we were untouched. Local boaters have organized to accept donations to bring to the Virgin Islands, which were hit hard. There is not widespread news coverage of the damage, but our island neighbors need our help.

I am not too fond on living in either of the baby islands, storms and emergencies worry me in the baby islands.

Here I am sitting in my building in North Carolina. I had three closings that all fell thru at the last moment. To ship my belongings to PR would involve getting another property to keep them and all that would cost more than what I owe on the building I have here. If I had sold I would have been in PR now. Now I am back to doing part time here and part time there. It is not my decision that created this situation. It is how it unfolded. I will still consider having my main operation in PR but this too will have to be decided as events unfold. Friends are staying in my house in Ponce. I will have an update when cellular phone service is available. I will post the effects. I guess the next topic will be insurance claims. Be Safe everyone!

Yes, especially considering the recent and FUTURE storms. Hopefully, arriving in December will allow me to put some "eyeballs on situation. I assume every property has been impacted in some way; some more than others.
