Our names are Kyle & Robin Byrd. We are 56 & 55 years old, respectively. We are the Founding/Sr. Leaders of a Kingdom Culture church just outside of Austin, TX, in the USA. We visited the DR several years ago, and fell in love with the island, the people, and the culture! We are considering a return to the DR ... to live! Our thoughts are anywhere along the northern coastline, between Puerto Plata & Cap Cana! We've done some research, and it seems that many expats really like the Samana Peninsula. We are really open to all options!
We are considering a 6 months - 1 year "sabbatical" from our church, to explore the options that might be available to us, should we decide to make such a move. We would be able to live on a $2,000 - $2,500/month budget, over that period of time. We are interested in engaging some experienced expats in discussions about our thoughts ...
* location
* churches in the areas
* cost of living

Welcome to the forums. I am on the north coast, depending on your.lifestyle you should be able to live on that income.
When it come.to.churches -this country is premoninantly Roman Catholic. They are more old school catholic as well. Cant comment on anything else in terms of.churches.
Thanks for the quick reply. Is it feasible to pay cash in advance for a 6 months - 1 year condo rental, and possibly save $$$?
Usually when you rent long term (over 3 months) you get a reduced rate but paying in advance does not usually increase the savings.
