Can someone please help me with information? I'm getting all confused about the answers i'm getting here in Holland. Maybe i'm getting the right info here. I'm comming to Bonaire in about 3 weeks from now. I'm planning to buy a house on the island. Is it possible for me, still living in Belgium for another 6 years, to get a loan to buy a house in Bonaire or is it not? I was asking several banks in Holland, but always getting different answers. Thanks in advance, and looking forward to my visit.

Eric, go to real estate to start to answer your questions. I know the interest rates are higher than in the US, but I don't know what they are in the Netherlands.

The best sources for information about Bonaire is the following Web sites.
