Selling property in belize by Prestonia
Part of the take away from the discussion is that you need to think about what buyers want when you start to build, and you aren't likely to get back all of the money that you put in. The market is artificially inflated by expat owners who want to ...
But some may. Depends what you build. Where you build. And whether the market is buoyant or depressed. abelizehomeforus.wordpress.com Read More
Application online for QRP by George2121
Hi ... I was just reading here about the QRP. It was mentioned that you can apply "online". What website is that application on? I just arrived in Belize last week and will rent for a while. Will the Govt accept "online" letters and statements? or ...
