These past two weeks I spent ten days in Honduras visiting several cities and exploring the coast.  I've contacted a real estate agent, and started looking at properties, specifically single family homes (2+ bedrooms and baths), and condos of the same approximate size.  Homes and condos of this size sell for $50000 to 100000.  Taxes annually are less than $500. Utilities, water and sewer approximately $50 monthly.  Food, there are plenty of open air markets offering all kinds of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seafood and other meats, costs about $25 per week.

Public transportation exists, however it is not reliable nor does it cover all areas of Honduras.  Should I buy property  I will need to import some small used 4X4 SUV or pickup truck for personal use. Something five to ten years of age, with a rebuilt front and rear end, tires, wheels, brakes and rebuilt engine. 

There are large national parks teeming with wildlife; beaches are white and clean, and the ocean is free of debris and contamination.

Politically, Honduras has been relatively quiet, although, recently, accusations of government corruption and links to the drug cartels have surfaced. English is spoken frequently, Spanish remains the primary language. 

Here are photos from my recent stay:
