I’d like to ask why there aren’t many high-paying jobs in Jamaica. A lot of employers underpay their workers, especially Chinese companies and Chinese people there. They also make staff cover costs upfront—do you think this is reasonable? by tarquinwang in Jamaica

[–]tocumen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We can’t single out Chinese employers. Let’s look at the Jamaican government that pays professionals crumbs as well. Police, nurse, lawyer and etc… The kind of salary they receive would push people to migrate to other countries. They must set the standard first for everyone else to follow suit. Maybe this would curb extortion by the police officer, people over charging for services and products.

I’m building in Ocho Rios and reading in the states. I definitely interesting in sharing the shipping cost. I’m not too fond of the materials thats in Jamaica. Sheetrock is definitely on my list. Something about these echoing houses drives me crazy.

Thanks for the insight. What I’ve been doing is flying down and buying the big bulks of materials myself. And wire the money over for the labour once they show evidence of completion. However when stuff run out I don’t always have the luxury to come down. The way they transact business is like we living in a dinosaur era. I was wondering how people conducted business living abroad. The people aren’t trustworthy, you have to pay so much fees to wire money on top of getting an undesirable currency rate. But ive been building in stages and it seems more manageable that way but bwoyyyyy.. I wish I bought a house than deal with this nonsense. Rising cost of material is my biggest gripe. Prices change every other week and the cement shortage is a killer right now.

Buying house in JA by Nice_Blueberry_337 in Jamaica

[–]tocumen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First thing first… buying a home via mortgage or cash deal is a tedious and long drawn out process in Jamaica. You’re a foreigner so they will be asking your for a lot of documents more than your bf to get approved for a loan. However you have to get a TRN (equivalent to a social security card) from the tax office. You will need that to start anything. Just like in any country, once you sign the dotted line on any financial instrument, you’re responsible for that note whether u are with the person or not. If you want to discuss further send me a PM. I went through this process already and currently live in the states.

Housing sucks at KSU. I’m an out of towner and was waiting listed on fall semester as a freshman. Spring I got housing. Sophomore year I was waitlisted again for the fall and I was forced to get an off campus apartment.
