What you'll learn inside.
Seven specific mistakes that cost foreign buyers thousands of dollars — and how to avoid every one of them.
Trusting the developer's attorney to protect you.
The developer's lawyer works for the developer. Their job is to close the deal — not to flag the risks to you.
Signing a contract without an independent legal review.
Most DR purchase agreements are drafted to protect the seller. The guide shows you exactly which clauses to watch for.
Assuming the title is clean because the developer says so.
Title problems in the DR are common — and they don't always show up until after you've paid.
Ignoring construction permits and environmental compliance.
A missing permit can mean your building gets demolished. The guide explains what to check and how.
Not researching the developer's track record.
Some developers are on their first project. Others have lawsuits pending. The guide shows you how to find out.
Misunderstanding the payment structure.
Pre-construction payments in the DR work differently than what most foreign buyers expect. The guide breaks down the real timeline and risks.
Skipping due diligence because the deal "feels right."
Beautiful renders and friendly agents aren't substitutes for a legal opinion. The guide explains what actual due diligence looks like.
