Straight answers, no fine print.

Yes — with the same property rights as a Dominican citizen. No residency or local partner is required: a valid passport and proper due diligence are enough. Title is registered in your name (or your company's) at the national Title Registry.

Yes. With a power of attorney (apostilled or signed at a Dominican consulate), an attorney can sign on your behalf. I structure the process so every stage is documented in writing — and on video where it applies. What you can't see in person, you must be able to verify.

As a baseline: a 3% transfer tax on the property value, legal fees (typically 1%–1.5%), and, as an owner, the annual 1% property tax (IPI) on value above the exempt threshold when applicable. Some tourism-approved projects under CONFOTUR carry tax exemptions. Every case is confirmed with counsel before signing.

The premium market is priced in U.S. dollars. Funds move via international wire transfer, ideally with source-of-funds documentation prepared from the start — it speeds bank compliance and protects the traceability of your investment.

At minimum: a legal-status certification on the property (liens and encumbrances), correct title and survey, property-tax standing, and — for pre-construction — the developer's track record and the project's trust structure. If any of that isn't clean, the price is irrelevant.

That's where I come from professionally: I operated Airbnb and property management before moving into advisory. I can structure the rental operation — short or long term — with monthly reporting, so the asset works without you having to be here.

Asynchronously and in writing: written summaries, short video walk-throughs of every property visited, and scheduled calls — not endless message threads. Your time is part of the wealth being protected.
