A non-Cuban can not now or in the forseeable future buy and own land in Cuba. Forget it.

Im interested in buying some land or House with land on the coast.. There is a way to do this, but you wont hear it here.

I know cause I have already made 3 contracts with indivisuals in cuba,

What you need is patience and about 25-50k. depending on what your looking for..

as soon as the embargo is stoped or things change, , and that is happening now my friends.

I can see myself living in cuba , In a hurricane proffed Home i will build using steel.. i can just see it now..

I just hope the Castro die.. and let cuba become the 52 state of the US.

If interested in getting in on the ground floor.

I can be reached at oc-192@att.net

And, just how did you do that? Invest in Cuba (being your IP is from the USA)? Lose your investment?

hey every one, i live in toronto canada and visited cuba many times.

i almost know everything about cuba many people call me camajan

if you know what that is

camajan means some one who knows everything about cuba even though he is not cuban.

its really funny to read many people looking for a property in cuba.

well don't waist your time you can't buy property. you can if its not under your name, if get married with cuban you can buy it under the cuban person.

i'm originally from Iran, it doesn't mean i am muslim so relax

98% of iranian people don't like islam because islam is blong to arab people not persians and this is just the politic for people, need to know that iranian government sold out to england governement and they are playing this islamic game.

anyways, if you planing to get married in cuba to buy a land make sure she is the right one for you.

i have a investagation group in cuba, so let me know if you want to find out if she or he is right love for you. we have camera's all over the place.

i'll be happy read your commends

I am interested to buy your landed property for a major business please let me know if its still available

Reply #37 lopez capestany from oregon (Contact Member) -

Born in Cuba, raised there until age 14. My parents bought a parcel of land in reparto Flores, Miramar, Havana. At the time a truly choice lot across or near major Catholic university. I have all the legal paperwork pertaining to the property and no intention of ever going back as I am 61 and well established in this country.

I don't know the legalities of this and I certainly think this would be a speculative buy for anyone. I fully believe that one day Cuba will be free and this property will be worth A LOT of money. But I could be wrong and don't want to misrepresent sale. I am not willing to do anything that would in any way be illegal or put my American citizenship in jeopardy.

Have any of you thought about the fact that most of the properties in cuba were owned by cuban and taken awya by the goverment.There are people like lopez capestany from oregon that still have the paper work. There is going to be alot of poeple reclaming what was once theirs. All the hungry money make people should think about what people have lost and all the suffurring they had to put with and delt with this . Now when cuba is free they people are not going to deal with new that are out to make a buck who are going to buy a piece of property and interested in buying business in cuba. let the people in cuba inherrit what was once theirs and then you can go ahead and buy what ever the hell you all want. I didnt hear anyone comment on the peoples needs its all about greed and i and me quit being selfish.

Hope you understand

To Ange:

We are off to Cuba 3 weeks today for a holiday. We went there last year, and were fed all the propaganda that you seem to have taken as gospel. I talked to a lot of Cubans whilst there, and apart from the tour guide, not one of them was happy with the situation there. Miguel the former teacher who had been taken away and imprisoned for speaking out against the oppression of the Cubans.He is no longer allowed to teach, and tends bar. The fact that all food is rationed, and the ration books are meant to provide basics for a month, but in reality there is only 2 weeks worth of supplies, so that then the Cubans have to try and buy on the black market - difficult as not only do they not have the money, but there are hardly any supplies to be bought - even illegally. The so called 'gift shops have at best a dozen T shirts in, and a few cigars and bottles of rum, because there are no supplies. The beggars on the streets of Havana are legion, and my husband was propositioned for the cost of a cup of coffee - whilst we were standing on the street. Pregnant women and crippled children begging. We were both offered drugs in the tiolets of a cafe. Yet I would go back again and again, as the Cubans are tremendous people. They have a warmth and a pride that is unbreakable. We left all of our clothes, shoes and toiletires etc as these are more valuable than money. If you are visiting Cuba, please think of leaving what you can easily replace for your hotel staff, as they are things that cannot be bought there. In fact, this time, we are specifically taking things to leave. So yes, Ange, they do have first class education and health care, but they have no freedom, either physically or of thought.

If cubans would build 1955 thru 1957 chevrolets I think they can sell every one to citizens of US and if US goverment won't let importation of 1955-1957 chevy then maybe citizens would get rid of US Goverment Long live 1955-57 CHEVYS

Shelley,

I am a Cuban who has been in the US since 1968 when I was nine years old. It is refreshing to see that a non-Cuban can see the reality of the Cuban crisis and does not buy into the deceptive propaganda. Castro and his cohorts are masters in their craft. Up to the very near past, I did not appreciate non-Cubans going to the island because I believed it supported the regime. But I have come to realize that it is more important to help the natives on a one-case-at-a-time basis (I am a prospective social worker.) Yes, help the Cubans and make them happy by sharing your goods. It does not take a lot, because as you said, they are indeed very deprived.

I have not met or heard of anyone that owns land or property in Cuba. It is my understanding that even in the hotels there is no ownership by foreigners only agreements to manage. I understand that the terms are for ten years and that the foreign investor is granted a declining percentage of the profits throughout that ten year period. I do know of people that have lived there and I am unclear as to the terms of any living arrangements. I do know that staying in a home in Cuba comes at a cost. What cost? The answer to this question is unknown. I am aware of fines levied on Cubans that permit visitors to stay in their homes without permission. Does permission or prearrangement have to be made in advance with the Cuban Government?

Cuba is an amazing country with some beautiful people and I would be highly interested in owning 1)a home in cuba 2)owning land in Cuba 3)a business in Cuba 4)a training centre/community centre re: cooking, sewing, computers, business marketing and management. I would also be highly intersted in participation in a charity organization in aid of stray cats and dogs (medical attention, spay and neutering).

Should anyone have any responses to these questions or information to share I would highly appreciate it.

I just wanted to add a note to my message above. I am aware of the political climate in Cuba and fully understand the people's joy's and sorrows. I am not ignoring these facts.

Yes the US embargo will be lifted and I am certain that it will be a lot sooner than anybody thinks. This will not eradicate the governmental policy with respect foreign investment and ownership in Cuba, but this too will change, it willsimply take longer.

I feel for the people of Cuba during this forthcoming transition. We all now that in the long run it will be to their benifit but that transition will be hard. The onflux of foreigners, construction and general change, not to mention their witnessing of blatant excess and the learning to accept and accomodate those differences and the peoples is a sobering thought in the process of this forthcoming transition.

The difference in their work schedules and expectations, the learning of new things, new ways and production requirements will be strange to them. No they are not a lazy people and yes many work long hours but with so little available work in so few areas they have not been exposed to the chaotic and frenetic capitalist way.

Yes they will be part of a bigger world, better for them in so many ways, but there will be a cost to a different lifestlye that will be forever lost.

who do we see to buy property in cuba?

I am selling my penthouse condominium in Havana Cuba. I am the legal owner of this condo and the sale is above board and in accordance with Cuban law. I am one of the few foreigners who bought a property when the Cuban government allowed for the sale of condominiums to foreigners in the late 90s. That window was subsequently closed, but those of us who have property are free to sell it. Email me and I will give you further details.

Regards,

Param.

I have read some of the messages. I think somebody should visit the Justice Ministry or Land Ministry in Cuba or at least a qualified lawyer who practises law relating to real estate in Cuba to get definitive answers. Property investment to most people is possible the most expensive investment in their life. I dont think anybody should rely on what tourists or individuals who do not have legal knowlege of land law in Cuba to conclude whether to buy real estate in Cuba. Even in open Jurisdictions like Usa, Canada and UK property purchase is a minefield you must deal with experts with legal knowledge in the field.

"Hello"

I'm Swedish, so I can buy houses or hotels in Cuba, right?

I'm looking for some help though, since I've always been told it's a little bit risky to buy property out of the country, when you're ot too sure about the rules and regulations.

Please, don't hesitate to email me about any informative knowledge you have about Cuba.

Thank's.
