I was sort of wondering whether or not you were referring to your super fund. Are you looking to increase or decrease it? Or possibly switch it?
Here are some things to look out for when shopping around for a place to put your super funds:
-
Check out the fees - the lower the better!
-
Look into their investment options
-
Possible extra benefits - your employer may pay more than 9.5% for certain super funds, or you can make extra contributions yourself
-
Choose a fund that has performed well over the last 5 years
-
See what cover is available and what it will cost
-
Give them a call or browse their website to see what other possible features and benefits they may be offering.
I hope this helps answer your question.
Hello,
The great news is, it is not difficult to invest in property in the Dominican Republic and they have some beautiful homes available in stunning locations for very reasonable prices.
Here are some things you should know about buying property in the Dominican Republic:
Residents and non-residents enjoy the same rights as property owners
Hire a real estate lawyer--there is a lot of fraud in this country and little protection for buyers
Real estate agents in this country offer higher prices to foreign buyers
A 10% deposit is required to reserve a property take it off the market
The lawyer will take care of the due diligence process
Payment for the balance owing is made to your lawyer’s escrow/trust account
There are certain documents you are required to submit to complete the transfer of the title
The lawyer will submit everything to the Title Registry Office where it will bear the new owner’s name
The entire process could take anywhere from 40 to 60 days to complete.
I hope this gives you a better idea of how it works! Good luck to you!
