We bought a beautiful condo on Beacon Hill in 2008 (new construction). Our experience has been very rewarding and we are very pleased with our decision today.
We hired a top law firm in SXM as well as a SXM firm to manage and pay all our SXM related bills and filing tax reports.
I would suggest that you speak to neighbors about any issues in the area you choose as well as location and which direction your Villa or Condo is facing for if your terraces or pool face the west , it can get unbearably hot after 12 Noon as the sun will beat down on your terraces and pool area. Also wind direction comes mainly from the eat so having your terraces and pool area facing the east not only protects from the blazing sun but also offers cooler breezes. I find this to be a major factor in my buying decision.
Be careful in renting as choosing a rental agent that understands your needs is very important. Decide if you want to rent to families with small kids or pets is another factor to consider.
All in all we are extremely happy with our property. I cannot say that for all owners as many are not happy with their property managers as well as upkeep of the property.
If I would do it again ; my answer is a STRONG YES!!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />



As with purchasing property anywhere, if you dot all of the I's and cross all of the T's your chances of success are greatly enhanced. No one is guaranteed to make money or even break even selling property, whether it be in the Caribbean or at home.
