What you will learn
The buyer guide, out loud, with your questions.
The same ground as the written guide, in the order a purchase really happens. General information only: your own lawyer-notary confirms the rules and figures for your purchase.
- 01
Paying from home
Cash, a line of credit on your home, or a mix. What to settle with your own bank before you look at a single house.
- 02
Choosing an area from a distance
West Bay, West End, Sandy Bay, French Harbour, the East End and the south shore: how each one lives on an ordinary Tuesday.
- 03
Your own lawyer-notary
Why you hire your own, what the title search checks, and what to ask before you sign anything.
- 04
Whose name it goes in
Your own name or a Honduran company, and the questions that decide it. Your lawyer confirms which fits you.
- 05
The offer, the deposit and where the money sits
How an offer is made, how much goes down, and who holds it until closing.
- 06
The real cost sheet
Closing costs, the yearly costs, and the day you sell, line by line, the way an accountant would set it out.
- 07
After the keys
Property managers, insurance, renting it out, and keeping a house in good shape when you are not here.
- 08
Questions for home
What to ask your own accountant in Canada or the US about taxes, so nothing surprises you later.
