    Does the 4 months per year have to be a continuous month,
    or can it be a few weeks here and there for a total of
    16 – 17 weeks? dh6721

    Thanks for your reply. I know first hand about the Keys.
    I sold my condo for 675,000. in 2003 and thought I did well.
    It is now on the market for 1.6 million.

    So far, from all I’ve read, Jardines de Ensuenos sounds like
    the best investment for the least money that I’ve come across.
    We are really looking forward to going down and talking with
    Trevor and looking at the place.
    Have you heard of One Jaco?

    I have read that Jaco condos and hotels are empty 50% of the
    time and that it may be unrealistic to believe that a condo
    will pay for itself. What are your feelings about this?
    I have read that there are several hundred more rooms that will
    be available in the next year or two. How do you think this
    will impact Jardines de Ensuenos?
    Do you plan on living at Jardines de Ensuenos after the 6 years
    or somewhere else?
    It seems to me that people want a beachside condo more than one
    that is a 5 minute walk away from the beach. What are your thoughts?
    I’m surprised that there are new condos going up on Plantation Key.
    I thought it was next to impossible to get a building permit.

    My wife and I are from Rome, Georgia. I am an Emergency Physician
    and previously owned the Group contract at one of the Hospitals
    in Rome. I sold the contract to a large company that runs ER’s
    all across the country and retired in 1998. Unfortunately,
    9/11 ate about half my retirement, so I went back to work in
    2003 part time. While I was retired, I bought a condo in
    Coral Harbour Club on Plantation Key and we moved there full time.
    We presently live on Lake Weiss, a large lake just across the State
    line in Alabama, about 25 minutes from Rome.
    I own two Urgent Cares, in Calhoun, Georgia and Adairsville, Georgia
    and I work about 12 days per month.
    I would like to retire again and move to Costa Rica.
    I’ve read volumes about it on the internet and several books.
    We visited in February and will go down again the end of the month.
    My condo in the Keys has tripled in price since I sold it in 2003.
    Otherwise, I would go back there in a heart beat.

    We are meeting Trevor on May 29th. to look at the property.
    I was just trying to get in touch with someone else who
    might be an investor and would know more about the property than
    I can find on the web page. I have read the entire web page.
    What made you decide to invest? Do you believe the predictions
    of investment return? etc.
    Are you from Big Pine Key in the Keys?
    I lived on Plantation Key in Islamorada for 2 years.
    Thanks for the reply. DH
