What advice would you give someone preparing to move to your area about the actual move, choosing a neighborhood and finding a home?

Do you research, feel free to contact me at [email protected] - I am now the Relocation Expert for Belize- not all info is the same, best to get it straight from the beginning ! See this video on Why Belize- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDiKKNXQuLo

Belize is Everything to some People- I am ONE of these, are you ?

What type of housing do you live in? Is this typical for most expats in your area?

2 story home, cement- and is common for expats and locals alike-

How did you choose your neighborhood and find your home or apartment?

I choose the San Ignacio area as it has the best local downtown, expats and locals mix well together, the folks are so friendly and the Expats are like my other family ! I found my home, thru Rainforest Realty www.rainforestrealty.com
