    That depends on who manages it--no doubt!

    The BEST on the island--and also someone who lives closeby Sandy Bay-- are
    Stella and Fran at westend.....com. If you don't just LOVE these
    people I'll eat a bug!!!!!!

    Many people "try" to rent places themselves--from stateside--and get into
    all sorts of troubles just to avoid a fee. They also don't have much
    success getting tenants. You can only do this yourself if you're living here
    to handle things--like we are. No, we no longer manage houses for other
    folks--our own Inn is all we can handle properly. Besides we don't have to
    anymore--there is--FINALLY--someone else here who is honest and knows this
    crazy business.

    This one's a no brainer. Use someone here who KNOWS what they're doing and
    you'll do just fine. NO, you will NOT get rich renting ANYTHING on Roatan.
    This much I'm VERY sure of from personal experience. But you CAN
    break even IF you do it right and follow the advice of people who DO know
    what they're doing.

    These guys are great! Everyone loves Stella and Fran!

    Now that we'er investing in a 2 bedroom house on the beach at sandy
    bay I've got a whole lot more question.

    For some of you other people can you help shed some light on the
    process of renting while we'er not in it. We have a caretaker who's
    going to take care of the cleaning and yard and meet and greet the
    people. This is also the woman we are buying from and she live next
    door. I'm woundering about insurance, ele. bills. Do you rent you
    homes fairly easy during the season, in all honesty do the home at
    least pay for themselves.
