Don't think just because we are in the Caribbean that real estate is out of reach for your budget. It is NOT! Real Estate has become much more affordable in this down turn with the recent economy. Prices have fallen and continue to fall. This is the time to find your piece of paradise to retire in. Retirement will come and where will you be. I won't be shoveling snow or driving in traffic. Time goes by quickly, so take a look at some homes through my web site property search engine.
Read on to get an example of the kind of wonderful people who make up St. Croix. I met a couple a few weeks ago when we sailed our sailboat out to Buck Island. A friend of mine in another boat next to mine said "Kelli, these people next to us are interested in looking at homes for sale". I said I will be right over and will bring them my card". My husband and I swam over to their boat and made a great new friendship with some wonderful sailing cruisers from the states. They were cruising through St. Croix on their way down to Bonaire. Later that week we ended up looking at homes and writing an offer.
Don't ever underestimate where your business will come from. These cruisers will soon have a home here on St. Croix when they are ready to plant their feet on one island. Homes here on St. Croix offer many opportunities for their absentee owners. They make great short and/or long term rentals for St. Croix is the island they chose to live their retirement on.
