Читать книгу Cashing In On a Second Home in Central America: How to Buy, Rent and Profit in the World's Bargain Zone - Tom Hammond Kelly - Страница 4

This book is dedicated to my six siblings — Mike, Bill, Pat, Kate, Maureen and John — for decades of insights, laughs and genuine support. I could not have asked for better young-life housemates and true friends. All of them have made the world a better place.

My genuine thanks to all the Realtors, developers, mortgage lenders and many individuals from tax and accounting, printing, editing and distributing who have aided me for years in my newspaper writing and radio work, and who also provided creative insights and useful information for this book. I have called upon them often and their patience, interest and kindness have been extraordinary. Leading this list are Linda Owens, CJ Yeoman, Heidi Henning, Tami Dever, Erin Stark, Monica Thomas, Laura Shelley, Dennis Dahlin, Joanne Elizabeth Kelly, Rob Keasal, John Tuccillo, Omar Ayales and Kevin Hawkins. I also am grateful to the numerous second home buyers and renters for sharing their stories.
