every one looks at the one yr wait as a bad thing i don't see it that way i have travaled all over the world and some places with the entent to spy out the land and i have found that you can read about a place and talk to many people and think you will love it but untill you have been there you really don't know what it is like , for example i thought chile and argentina would be what we were looking for but after having been there changed our minds , my point is that use that yr to really check out the land rent for several mounts in one spot and then move down the road and try a differant spot , it would be crazy to just move somewhere and buy land right away you might wish you were 30 miles down the road . also you do not want to buy land from a gringo or a realastate broker if you can help it you will pay so much more . use your yr to look around and get to know the people and find land you will see soon anough that everything in belize is for sale and you really need to find a good deal from a local and save tens of thousands , as a example 35 acers for ten thousand dollars is not unherd of if you buy from local not dealer. also you want to see the land in the rainy time the land you buy might be under water for two mouths and no one will tell you , thease people will see you all coming a mile away. as for making a living here it is in a nut shell if you are skilled in somthing you will be head and shoulders above the average person there, your basic abillity to work on your car here at home will make you a mecanic in bellze .

Unless I missed it, nobody has mentioned how they will support themselves down there. What are some ideas?

 If you are talking about the first year before you can establish residency, we aren't sure?

 From what we can find:  You have to live there a year before you can get a residence permit which means some how you have to have an income during this year plus be able to meet all the little things they are going to "nickle and dime you to death" with during that year- if they do because they may not?  They also require that you have 2000 dollars a month deposited into your account while you are trying to establish your residence so that they know your not going to be a burden to them - how to earn this while you can't take in an income, we haven't figured out yet?

How we  would like to make a living there: we are strongly looking at the agriculture side of things.  We would like to start a cattle ranch. 

There are still a few things that we haven't figured out yet.  Like how much is a cow down there and how many cows can you have per acre?  We haven't found a site yet that gives us a good answer.  Other than my husband found that they do have a rodeo there!! :-)  From what we can find - a ranch is not just "cows" it also has a certain amount of fruit and veggies - coconuts, avocados, mango's, etc.

 Having a permanent residency doesn't mean that you give up your US citizenship which is good to know.  

Than there is still the issues of having to pay taxes - theirs and U.S.?
