  • Invest in a rental property in the Dominican Republic : my 5 top tips

    For many people the choice to expatriate ourselves for good is not yet obvious. Fear of missing the family, a new country that doesn't always offer the appropriate structures, an immigration policy and some heavy administrative procedures, are all reasons that can hold us back.
