I come to this site strictly for the kind of insight that Ann is providing. Raising red-flags and things to consider for potential expats is exactly what I find missing from the main magazine where everything is so perfect and glowing when I know better. It makes one dubious to what is written in the mag. when you don’t read about the potential negatives. I have been to Orchard Bay and while the people were very nice with no pressure, I could not get adequate answers in regards to drainage ditches behind the lots, distance/time to services, murky/silty water, low number of house starts, all of which would be nice to have flagged for an individuals consideration. Note that I have experienced, for the price of a couple of beers, the most transparent, to the point advice on areas of interest. Never underestimate the power of the alcohol truth serum, so even if you heard something in a bar, it often uncovers opportunities or potential issues that I would love to read about. Keep it up.
