We have come to terms with the fact that it's going to take some time to buy a home here so we signed a lease yesterday. I've done a fair amounting of searching through old posts about shipping household goods to PR and the companies ...

Accessing live U.S TV shows by saysme
Does anyone know a way to access a live stateside TV lineup? Liberty's "English-language channel lineup" is a joke. I have been streaming stateside TV using an Apple TV but I cannot get 'live' channels. I can only record what I think I might want to ...
No, satellite tv and streaming platforms are different. You stream the apps through wi-fi. You need the internet to allow wifi streaming. Download the app to a smart tv or othe device and watch their programs. I recommend you look it up. Good Luck! Read More

I get them through a streaming app. I'm not sure what you're trying to watch but check their packages. I also have Dish (satellite) and Liberty for internet only. Read More

Buy a car in PR or ship from NYC? by JessicaMaria
Hi everyone! I have a question about my car. My car and I are currently in NYC. I have 18,900 left to pay on my lease, to keep my car. I pay 325 a month and have a 2020 Honda CR-V. I’m not sure if I should return this car (it’s a lease ...
@JessicaMaria Remember PR cars are at least a 30% markup. If it's 30k stateside, it'll be almost 45K here. Also, there is an inventory problem here on most things. Buying a used car could be beneficial but remember the markup and make sure you have ... Read More

@JessicaMaria Hola, unfortunately you will not be able to ship a leased vehicle to PR. The leasing company will not give you the paperwork to release the vehicle to be shipped and the shipping company will require it as will the Port Hacienda office ... Read More

We used UPack (multiple Pods), it was very inexpensive and timely. They quoted 4 weeks to the day from MD to PR. Items were intact and no issues. The problem came when we had to get local movers. Prices were outrageous and we determined that's ... Read More

I was told the same thing, but you have to dig deeper. I informed the water and electric companies that I had a child and they moved fairly quickly (days). With the electricity, we scheduled an appointment and drove to AAE in Vega Baja - services ... Read More

Miramar is a hybrid and you can walk, but it depends. Think gentrification at the early stages. You could take Uber to the grocery stores. A lot of stores have minimal parking in the busy parts of San Juan. But, there are plenty parking garages and ... Read More

No worries! Ocean Park is between Condado and Isla Verde (all in San Juan). There are a lot of apartments in all of those areas - but it's a high traffic, tourist area, close to the beach. You'll be close to most things, but be prepared ... Read More

Do not stress! The housing market here is crazy - not always easy to find housing. Manage your evicted m expectations. An alternative could be a monthly ABNB, which is what we did while we scouted neighborhoods. We found a perfect posh location in ... Read More
