laredhead July 2, 2019 Share July 2, 2019 Having been waiting for someone to chime in about the woman lawyer from Sandy Hook buying property on the coast of Brazil at Pontal de Maceio. She spent $100,000 on what reminded me of a bunker, and another $100,000 on 2 ocean front lots for a future house. I kept thinking how remote that place seemed to be, and of all the things that could go wrong living there. The realtor was touting it as an untapped tourist mecca, and said the real estate market was booming. She was recommending that her friend, the buyer, get in on the ground floor of that beach front property while it is "cheap". How do you get to that place? The roads did not look great, and the nearest airport is 2 hours away. I have read about unreliable power sources, but one scene showed a wind farm, so I guess you could have a personal windmill, as well as solar panels to provide power. She probably rents out the house to tourists when she isn't there, but it did not look inviting to me. The finished beach house that was shown was lovely. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4148-house-hunters-international-general-discussion/page/138/#findComment-5416719

They're generally not feral, though - while "owning" a cat is something of a foreign concept in Greece (although certainly not unheard of; there are indeed pet cats), there is still a good deal of human interaction with many of the strays. It's quite a mixed bag in terms of how they're regarded and treated, and on the whole one that was difficult for me to be around upon visiting - but beautiful cats lazily sunning themselves in one of the world's most beautiful settings is not readily forgotten, either. This explains a lot! My ex is of the Greek persuasion and has always "had" cats (plural), yet has never "gotten" a cat. Maybe he is sending out a Greek vibe - they always find him.

There was nothing about that town (at least what I could see in this episode) that would inspire 15-20 hour flight time (there don't seem to be any non-stop flights) and a 2 hour drive once you land in Brazil. If that was where my family was from and I had some sort of sentimental attachment to the place, maybe, but that didn't seem to be the case here.

When you’re buying, anything the sellers leave behind is yours to keep or discard as you wish, but it’s not a dealbreaker to whether you buy the house.

Ninamags July 5, 2019 Share July 5, 2019 So which house did the party van people pick? I dozed off and completely missed the ending. 😛 Did they say it was an hour and half ride from their US home? That's great! I recall the agent saying something about if they were actually really planning on putting in an offer. He didn't want to waste time with these flaky people. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4148-house-hunters-international-general-discussion/page/138/#findComment-5423789

They don’t necessarily move to a certain locale because of food. However, other forms of protein are readily available in Florida. The husband made the valid point that no cattle are raised on the island, so she needed to learn that beef wasn't going to be easily accessible. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4148-house-hunters-international-general-discussion/page/138/#findComment-5424339

Sell the big NJ house, put those 2 young adults in a 2 bedroom apt, and scale back on the eldest daughter’s wedding. $6000/ month probably would’ve been doable. They were more interested in the status symbols of where they live. Thus, the desire to only be on Seven Mile Beach. You can find larger beach-front properties at half the cost if you go to the less touristy areas of Grand Cayman. They never even considered that as a possibility. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4148-house-hunters-international-general-discussion/page/138/#findComment-5424352
LittleIggy July 7, 2019 Share July 7, 2019 Charleston to Mexico: Was he going to be working some of the time in Charleston while the wife and kids were in Mexico? They mentioned living off the income from renting out their Charleston home, but I doubt that would be enough to live on. The first house was my fave except for the living area and kitchen being open to the elements. Yikes, the bugs!

Lots of whining.about perfectly decent furniture and appliances that she deemed out of date I would have serious doubts about those two kids they left in charge of the NJ house. Neither one seemed mature enough to handle the responsibilities of running a household. How long before one, or both, turn that house into "party central"????? Just saying! Of course, like every HH Int'l, everything worked out perfectly...everyone was happy! 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4148-house-hunters-international-general-discussion/page/138/#findComment-5429453
