Near term potential of moving to PR from Houston

Welcome Jeff,  we lived in the Houston area a few years ago.  Are you looking to retire in PR? or working?

Hey All !

I've read many of the posts.  thank you all for sharing !

Unsure about many things, but if we do come to PR we'll be living likely near Dorado.

Topics of interest for us

1.  are bringing dogs (read a lot on that).
2.  the House market and purchase experience
3.  Automobile challenges (read a lot on that)

Pretty serious about this.  if the opportunity presents itself, it will be a fast decision.

Do you have specif quesrion?

1. Bring the dogs.
2. Rent for six months or longer while you look around.
3. Buy a car here. Even if you own a vintage car that you want to bring 'for old times sake', purchase your everyday car in Puerto Rico.
4. Just do it.
5. Let me know when you are here so I can have you come visit. I will give you a tour of my neighborhood and maybe an adult beverage, or two.

All,

trying to figure many things out.  we are nearing retirement age, close enough now that we have to make serious plans about the next 7 - 10 years before we pull the trigger.

so this late career potential in PR has many implications for us.

One of which is the property considerations.  We might purchase a home or luxury condo to live in, but also to lease / rent out for the tourist trade, after we retire.

Retirement will be summers in northern Michigan, winters someplace nicer.

if anyone has thoughts along the above subject that would be really helpful.

One consideration is that we don't speak spanish, so it will be difficult until we learn.
