The Dominican Republic - One of a kind - Want to move to a great country?  How about a Caribbean island where the living is easy and the possibilities endless?  How about a place where doing business is hassle-free and profitable?  How about a place where there is room for mountain farms, the real estate is at bargain basement prices and the beer is great?  What if I throw in a historic colonial zone where 500 year old buildings are up for sale and the tourists are mostly European? Sound too good to be true?  Well, it's true! The island is the Dominican Republic and everything I've just said about it is absolutely  true. As a spot to move to and live a hassle-free low-cost life I know of few places that are better. It is really in a class by itself; it's one of a kind. - Roger Gallo

There are many places you can go to in the Caribbean, but there is only one spot that has been called "The Best Kept Secret". That place is the Dominican Republic, and the time to find out about this investors paradise is sooner, not later!  You can find out about basic statistics from any book-store travel guide, but not the honest kind of perspective you are looking for.  What is it really like to live there?  What is the cost of living?  How do I find the real estate or apartment bargains?  Can I find good Internet access?  What is the shopping like?  How about banking rates?

Christopher Columbus did not discover America, he discovered the Dominican Republic!
In fact, he liked it so much, he decided to stay.  The odd thing is, Europeans have been coming ever since, but with less than 20% of the tourists coming from the US, it remains a undiscovered "secret" for Americans.  Are there other beautiful places in the Caribbean?  Sure there are, but not as inexpensive or offering so much for both the investor and retiree.

High tax-free interest on your US dollar investments, one of the fastest growing countries & economies, pleasant year-round climate, the opportunity for a tax free business, and very modern health care facilities are only a part of the attraction. 

Regardless of whether you want the casual beach lifestyle, the cooler temperatures of the mountains, or the nightlife of a modern cosmopolitan capital city, the Dominican Republic has something for everyone.  Located on the second largest island in the Caribbean, just a short flight from Miami, it also has more undeveloped and unspoiled beach front property than any other place you can think of.
