I know it’s sad when you’re not in love with the property, but it’s a stepping stone to get to your dream home. Trust the process. & congrats new home owner 🎉
Hello Joshua, 🎉 congratulations on your new home 😁🏡. I already retired and planning to sell my property in Naples FLORIDA Golden Gate Estates. I get SSI and my question is after I sell, Do you think I would have problems with Social Security? I'm planning on traveling to PR and start my house hunting. Please let me know and help me.❤🎉
Congrats 🎉 on your purchase I’m looking retire in 6 years I’m looking forward to live island I was born especially get away from New York ,my question what are the requirements to purchase a home or person who live in the states
I just recently sold my parent's home in Puerto Rico I did not use a real estate professional since I've purchased and sold several homes before in the US mainland, I was comfortable with the negotiation and contract process....(make sure you get a home appraisal before selling the home). the deal was 100% cash and the process was overall rather easy when both the sellers and buyers are serious in their intentions. Puerto Rico process or system of buying and selling is 100% reliant on Attorneys unlike on the US mainland were a closing agent (Title company) and the bank do most of the work. As the seller, you need to get yourself a GOOD attorney in the city/town where the house is located, it makes things a little easier in my view. Expect to pay (at closing) approximately 1% sometimes a little more of the selling price as one of the fees to the attorney, other service fees and other filing fees may apply. Good luck to all those buyers and sellers in Puerto Rico...
Thanks Josh for your video, it was informative I'm 53 and thinking of moving to Puerto Rico I was born there but I've been in the states since the age of 8yrs old hopefully when I moved there, there's people like you who can help
Just know that the home buying purchase especially if you don’t get paid with a W-2 is also super tedious in the US and they will want letters of explanation for things too. I had to take 1 full day faxing, scanning and explaining the about a week of sending more documents here and there.
Hey Josh, congrats 🎉🎊🍾🎈 I think the price is ok for a 3/2 condo but 6% is too high. But like you said, he don’t know if it’s going to come down or if it’s going to stay the same, so if you can buy now, why not? I’m still watching videos and see if I can move back to PR but I’m going to buy cash. I don’t have the patience to go through all that process. Good luck and God bless your new place ❤
If your caucasian, buy a condo. If you are a Rican you can live in a house) neighborhood without hatred. If you buy and plan to flip expect to get stuck with your home for a long time, possibly years
1:26 @Josh how do you go about it? Is it the same as in US? If I live in Massachusetts for example, do I get approved and a loan here ad then go buy over there. Or. Do I have to. Go the island to get na loaninng there and then buy
Hey 👋🏽 not at all! You can do all that online these days. But you will need a lender who has the license to give out a mortgage in PR. I just talked about this on my last video :) check it out
I am set ring about buying property and put the Rico. My father sighed is from Puerto Rico. And I have visited there just last year for the first time. What are your recommendations
New to your channel are you going to show properties on this channel that you will be selling it will be nice for us in the mainland that are looking to move to puerto rico .
Congrats Josh!! My fiancé & I want to buy a property also on our native land, Puerto Rico! May I ask, how many years have you been a real estate agent?
Josh! Thank you for sharing your advice and your experience brother. Looking to get into my first real estate property and currently revising my options. Would love to connect with you!
Hello Josh, Congratulations on your purchase. I am looking to purchase property in PR and needed some information on Banking / Loans. what company do you suggest going with in PR"?
For all the people who are about to become suckers. Not everything that glitters is gold. Many homes are not registered and dont have clean title. They owe county fines and back due utilities. You will not get help with repairs and home supplies are limited. You've been warned
Hello there, and congratulations on your purchase. I reside in NY looking to purchase a home in PR. Currently, I have a pre-qualification letter. However, the house I am interested in got an offer, so it’s off limits, unless the deal falls through. Can you guide me with the rest of the process, since I’ve read that in PR, home sales often side more with the seller than the buyer. In addition, although I’d like to buy now (looking into fixer uppers), I won’t be able to move out there till I retire (7 years). Can I purchase now, and make partial renovations till then?
What lender did you use? Trying to figure out which banks in the states offer mortgages, or which banks on the island offer mortgages to people from the states. Thanks!
Are you referring to closing costs ? People say they’re a bit higher than the states but I will say to have 2-5% of the purchase price in hand. Depends on the situation.
I was looking at places in Dorado but the real estate companies never answer their Zillow messages. How am I supposed to see what they have available and set up a remote viewing?
So most of the real estate agents here are not on zillow. It's a complicated matter. I'm happy to connect and see how I can help: sajrealestatepr@gmail.com
Congratulations Josh!………I’ll probably be looking @ purchasing a condo in PR in the next year or so. Looking @ Palmas Del Mar, Rio Grande, Luquillo, Ceiba, Fajardo & Maunabo areas. Cash buyer. Been studying PR real estate in these areas for almost two years now. I’ll get in touch when I’m ready.
So! My question is... How good of a deal do I get in Puerto Rico if I'm paying Cash? For example could I get a 300K property for lets say 225k give or take if Cash on the table? Thanks. Btw; I'm from P.R. but live here in Los Angeles.
Greetings Josh, I'm Active Duty military and have orders to report to Ceiba in August. I would honestly like to buy a property. In which area would you advise me to buy a property that I can rent it out, sold it or with airbnb potential when my three years tour in PR ends? Thanks in advance!
Hi Jeancarlo - I'm happy to connect but it all depends on the location, budget, and purpose. Send me an email with your information sajrealestatepr@gmail.com
It's my dream to own a condo of my own there. I am in the Wash DC area but will be visiting Rio Grande and Luquillo this week. I would love to ask you some questions and get a better feel of the areas so when I'm ready later this year I can be confident... is it okay for me to contact you?
@@JoshIsOnAMission That's exactly what I've been thinking. I'm buying it with my partner and we are young low income, so I guess making that so called much money must be dirty money even though we have sacrifice days and nights outs to get to this point for straight 5-6 years. What's the point then?
@@JoshIsOnAMission Thanks. I asked her and she said that they are waiting for the company (owner of the apt) to get approved. Like they have no problem cashing the earnest money, and we are under contract. And it's being three weeks since then. No criminal records or bankruptcies from our part. We neither have debts. Cause we have never taken anything on credit.
Just starting my journey with learning to buy property in Puerto Rico! I am a NY RIcan and looking to purchase there to raise my family there. Looking forward to hearing all your input.
