Me and the husband are planning on purchasing property in Aruba within the next 12 months (I would like to it to be 5-6 months if possible). We own a house outright in PGH PA. So we plan on getting a home equity loan against our property so we can just purchase the house in Aruba no questions asked.
My question is for home owners that have recently gone through purchasing property on the island. Any surprises you encountered when purchasing property compared to the US process? Whom do you suggest for property insurance? Any advice on realtors or red flags are much appreciated.
We have contacted some Agents on the island via companies that are common in the states. That I am hoping to go further in detail with once the time to purchase is closer.
I just recently join this forumn and will contiue to read thru past threads and continue my research. BUT...any experiences you personally went thru is appreciated to hear about!
