Hi all, I was wondering what the protocol was for calling out weirdos on this site. I do not want to get into details at this point, not too far, but I had a member stay at my gkise for a coupke of days and had to ask him to leave. Bunch of red ...

Anyone want to start a Facebook group? by Karenqc
So...we have a handful of Rincon FB pages (the main one with 10k+!!) but nothing island wide. I'm noticing more and more of you gringos moving over here and thought maybe we should produce something. I can help maintain it, but I don't want ...

We are meeting with an attorney when we go down there in August. From what we understand (on the surface), our internet based business (an LLC) does qualify for Act 20 but we really need to sit down and get the specifics. Good luck! Read More
Tourism ad for Puerto Rico by Gary
Warning! Some language that may be considered not appropriate by some and also maybe the video is not suitable for Act 20/22 expats. But for the rest of us enjoy the satire. (although there's a lot of truth in it...) "The US Government ...
I saw it also on Facebook.... interesting. Read More

Anyone on here living in PR with Act 20 or Act 22 status?
Thanks for the shout out Karen. Also, in case not everyone is aware, there is new legislation regarding both of these acts. One bill relaxes the 5 employee requirement for Act 20 (the exact number would be given on a case by case basis). Another ... Read More

Renting in Dorado by Aharkness
Realistically... how difficult is it going to be to rent an unfurnished, but with appliances, house in Dorado with three dogs? Our budget is pretty healthy... main concern is the dogs. A lab (13 years), Eng Bulldog (10 yrs) and Boston Terrier (7 ...
Not everyone allows pet on a rental property, so that may reduce your choices. Most dogs do not eat concrete so I do not see why, but people are people.I was afraid of this... Is throwing money at the issue an option, do you think? I don't ... Read More
