Haiti faces political problems. Therefore, property investment in the country should be considered risky. If you're a foreigner who wants to invest in properties, you might consider regions that are relatively stable politically such as the Singapore Property market.

On the flip side, the axiom that High Risk = High Gains holds true. So that may be a reason to consider for investing in Haiti.

I also think that Haiti is a wonderful place but it really was not long ago that it was an unsafe place to be and there is also the global warming issue making weather in that area far more unpredictable.It still however is on my list of possibles for retirement.

Nice thought! It is superb to think more than to the others.

Best of luck for making your dream come true!

Its good that the land development project will create many jobs and help stimulate the economy.

Yeah, not enough is done for the workers and funding and energy always goes elsewhere. There are so many factors to consider in a project such as this that some aspects do get left behind a little.

Incredible coincidence it must be, but my partner and I also stayed in a beautiful house in the mountains looking out over Port au Prince last August.

We live and work in New Zealand and never realised the sheer beauty of Haiti until we happened to be invited there by friends.

It is idyllic and yet sad at the same time to think of the struggle the people of this country have had to endure.

I am wondering what the property investment potential is for a place like Port Au Prince - if not now, perhaps in the future?

In the midst of a national situation that is violent and chaotic, it is indeed refreshing and stimulating to see how Beyond Borders’ small but vibrant alternative to the authoritarian schooling and leadership is taking shape in Haiti.

I agree this is a dream place i wish i had the money to buy a property there.

Thats a heaven on earth i wish i was there. who knows maybe sometime!

wow !yes we can! i always beleive that the gouvernment can't rebuilt hait alone and haiti won't come out of the strugle quickly but imagine such project in a t least 5departments how great it would be my dream was always one thing like now i am firmly beleive that it;s possible i come accross this website too while i was making research on such project...wow.. i am so happy! yes we can change the country..(sorry form my english)

I have just returned from a stay at Noveau Kiskeya. I went to the mountains outside of Jean Rabel to a local church where we held services. On my stop over, Robert Ulysse and his wife Rose, hosted us at the Noveau Kiskeya property. One night, sitting in his office, He shared his vision along with some great hot tea. Over the next three days, I saw first hand how the local Haitians were being put to work, how they had their own hands and minds involved in the vision to develop a "new Haiti", and how hope was being restored in that region. Trust me when I say that I firmly believe no one loves Haiti more than Robert Ulysse. He has no plans for a Mcdonalds and Marriott on every corner. Robert speaks with passion and great vision about the place where he grew up literally herding sheep. Wise land use, economic empowerment, and good stewardship are not just watchwords but very real principles there. Robert is the right man, in the right place, for right now.

I'm always in two minds whenever I hear of a new location which is being converted into a tourist paradise.

On the one hand I know how amazing the revenue can be for lifting an area or a whole country out of a really horrid economy and bringing prosperity to those previously poor.

On the other hand, it is sad to see another area taken from it's natural, untouched state and built up into the Western idea of paradise - hotels, retirement homes, pools, beaches, jetskis, hamburger restaurants etc etc.

I just hope this brings Haiti more benefits than pain.

Beaches and great scenery are always a draw, but considering that not all that long ago it wasn't too safe there, I wonder if that will have an impact on home sales to Haitan Americans? Granted the country has stablized a lot. And if the price is right, it may be an enticement that some can't resist. IF things continue to go well, they may become a great investment opportunity.

When I stayed at Haiti, we stayed in a nice house in the mountains overlooking the Port Au Prince. I can't imagine housing anywhere else being worth purchasing.

I Would like to know more about new kiskeya. and how soon cant I purchasse my property or condo

Mole St Nicolas near Cuba is a dream to be. since the early 70's wanted to purchase my retiment home there, but because of lack of infrastucture,I changed my mind. But I'm now living in the Bahams.My heart still stays with Haiti,Mole St Nicolas.I would definitely go there, if there is some improvement. J.Shelly A WARden.MD

While there is a long history of building closed expat/ tourist compounds in the Antilles, many have foundered on a failure to provide resources for those who would work (as opposed to retire with outside sources of income). The Nordouest has a terrific lack of employment assets, not to mention infrastructure for energy/food supply. A business case could be made for the development of the natural harbor at Mole St Nicholas, which could become a transhipment hub for six nearby nations. Www.caribotec.com proposes a means to provide some basic resources.

this is a dream place to be, get it going, I will definitely use it as my retirement home. Phil from Florida
