We used goodlife (https://goodlifeelsalvador.com) who recommended a lawyer. I won't post his name here though I highly recommend the one we had. I can share the lawyers name via pm if you wish. We bought half an acre of land with an amazing view. Comes with coffee trees but we aren't interested in the coffee yield.

Permanently is a big word. We love the country, the people, the government. We do think there is a huge amount of of potential in thus very small country. Like the little engine that could , we think it can change the world

Wow... I'm not associated with goodlife at all, I'm just saying I had a great experience with them. Not receiving any commission in any way.

As for your other questions;

We haven't built a home or had to deal with zoning. I understand however that you can build a home on agricultural land if it is properly registered and you use architect and get plans approved.

Putting el Salvadorians on the street: are you against buying real estate in other countries? Sorry I dont understand your question.

No plans to lobby government at all

Did not leverage

Native Salvadoran here. There are laws on the books limiting how much property one person can own. But that's for natives, I don't know what it would be like for a foreigner.

To the op @hypnagog, I would say to keep a close eye on your place. My uncle lost property after people moved in there after he hadn't been there a while. People can gain rights from occupancy, so that's something to think about if you don't spend enough time there.

Really think there's a ton of upside (I am biased I guess). Imagine a country that saw very little capital influx for 20+ years because of the violence and instability suddenly open up... A country with resources and a strong population with values and a good work ethic.... I think there's a ton of potential there

No actually! We found coastal areas too hot for our tastes. There are really magnificent regions in lush mountainous areas ... Picturesque little colonial towns... Its a very varied country and there's something there for many people.

Lots of properties listed there if all types. No idea why seller sold, other than maybe wanting the cash?

I answered btc question above

Paid a lot of the fees in sats, even paid for lumch for the guy who drove to see the land for us with a quick transfer of sats :)

Yep. My name is on CNR for the property. That post was misleading and one of the reasons I made this post.

I think the service like goodlife might be 1-3% depending on the purchase price of the property, lawyers is maybe 1.5-2k. No transfer tax for land only, 2&3% for a house I think.

Not sure what that has to do with purchasing re in el salvador. I did say ask anything so fair enough, but not answering that

Next time I want to earn 70 cents in sats I'll provide an update 😁

Sadly I'm not in human resources ... There's a great podcast called live from bitcoin beach you might want to listen to

I guess ownership deeds are sort of like nfts?

Really good, surf everyday if you move between spots

Honestly have no idea since I dont do that, but lots of people were surfing there

Fair point of view, but we see potential in el salvador, so its our own belief guiding us

Sure, 8899 WhywouldIGiveYouThat

Not a joke? And you assumed we had never gone there. We went there previously and liked the country, then decided to buy once we were back home. We did do everything from overseas.

Thanks! Hoping to see more bitcoiners there in the future

Aye, we do so that allowed us to speak directly with the sellers and Realtors. Finding a property yourself without Spanish would be hard and I'd recommend an intermediary.

Not going to divulge that sorry!

Yea, how much?! And if you give an amount in fiat, I will shun you for eternity.

We've gone there twice in 2 months, and plan on spending our holidays there for now

Missed the question , shame! Post it back no question is a bad question!
