| Subject: | Re: [roatan] Followup question to the crime topic.... |
Hello, My husband and I are in a similar situation to cabeachguy02 in that we have been considering buying or building a home in the Bay Islands or on the beaches of the mainland. We have been following this posting for quite some time and have enjoyed the information and input from all of the members. We would be looking at buying this property both for personal use and as an investment. Like cabeachguy02 we are quite concerned about the recent postinga regarding crime and want to make an informed decsion about the area. We would also like to know from the locals how serious of an issue crime reallly is, both on Roatan and in Tela, La Ceiba, Trujillo and the other beach resorts on the mainland. Naturally, it is a concern if one intends to spend time in an area and enjoy it as a second home, but it is also a concern as an investor because if tourists perceive the area to be unsafe and crime ridden they will choose other places to visit and income property will suffer and appreciation in value will slow down or stop. So, our question is the same as cabeachguy02's general question. What is the reality and how big is the problem? Is it worse on the mainland? What is the real scoop? Thank you very much to all who respond for your time and honesty regarding this very important issue.
