Puerto Rico's real estate industry trails behind the long-established aphorism of triple-Ls. The island’s name (rich port), describes its contemporary multicultural marketing mix (or documented endowment) established thirty-three (33) years after the conclusion of the American Civil War.
Preamble
In 1935, United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt launched the Puerto Rican Reconstruction Administration, which provided agricultural development, public works, and electrification of the island. In 1948, a series of projects established manufacturing as the main industry. Since the Great Depression there has been external investment in capital-intensive industry such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and technology. With the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Dominican Republic–Central America Free Trade Agreement, Puerto Rico lost a trade advantage over some Latin American countries as the right to duty-free imports to the U.S. market were expanded. Puerto Rico is also subject to the minimum wage laws of the United States, which gives lower-wage countries such as Mexico and the Dominican Republic an economic advantage in real estate.

Foraker Act of 1900
The Foraker Act, officially the Organic Act of 1900, is a United States federal law that established civilian (limited popular) government on the island of Puerto Rico, which had been newly acquired by the United States as a result of the Spanish–American War. Section VII of the Foraker Act also established Puerto Rican citizenship.[1] President William McKinley signed the act on April 12, 1900, two (2) years after the Treaty of Paris of 1898.[2][3]
Governmental grants
Subsidies (or subsidios) - a sum of capital granted by the government to assist an industry or business, such is the case of Real Estate in Puerto Rico, under Article II of the LAW 47 (Ley 47) of June 26, 1987.
Bankhead–Jones Farm Tenant Act of 1937
The Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act of 1937 (P.L. 75-210) authorized acquisition by the federal government of damaged lands to rehabilitate and use them for various purposes. Both the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management manage some Bankhead-Jones lands. Some Forest Service Bankhead-Jones lands are National Grasslands.[4]
- programa para la compra y mejoras de granjas.
- préstamos de 40 años para agricultores.
Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act of 1961
The Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act of 1961 (P.L. 87-128) authorized a major expansion of USDA lending activities, which at the time were administered by Farmers Home Administration (FmHA), but now through the Farm Service Agency. The legislation was originally enacted as the Consolidated Farmers Home Administration Act of 1961. In 1972, this title was changed to the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, and is often referred to as the Con Act.[4]
- préstamo para financiar la rehabilitación y facilidades de agua, alcantarillado, eliminación de desperdicios en areas rurales.
- 1962 se extendió para proveer viviendas a bajo costo a envejecientes.
Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act of 1972
The Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act of 1972 or Con Act (P.L. 92-419) authorized a major expansion of USDA lending activities, which at the time were administered by Farmers Home Administration (FmHA). The legislation was originally enacted as the Consolidated Farmers Home Administration Act of 1961 (P.L. 87-128). The Con Act, as amended, currently serves as the authorizing statute for USDA’s agricultural and rural development lending programs. Titles in the Act include current authority for the following three (3) major (FSA) farm loan programs: farm ownership loans, farm operating loans and emergency disaster loans. Title III of the Con Act authorizes rural development loans and grants (7 U.S.C. 1921 et seq.) under the Rural Development Act of 1972 (P.L.92-419)[5]
- autorizó a la Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) a garantizar préstamos a instituciones hipotecarias para viviviendas, agricultura, comercio e industria rurales.
Special program of 1974
Section Eight (8) of the Housing Act or (Ley de Vivienda del 1937)
- un programa administrado por HUD.
- subsidios de vivienda a familiares a bajos ingresos.
- Plan Eight (8) of Puerto Rico
- subsidio para alquileres.

- los tenants tienen que pagar hasta 30% de los ingresos de la familia.
Urban Development Grants
Also known as UDAG as to Action, Urban Development Grants are managed by HUD also known as the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. In 2006, The Village Voice called HUD New York City's worst landlord and the #1 worst in the United States. The criticism is based upon decrepit conditions of buildings and questionable eviction practices.[6][6][7] (Area Code)
- un programa administrado por HUD.
- fondos para proyectos de recuperación económica en ciudades con un grave problema económico.
- en 1983 todos los municipios fueron elegibles para fondos UDAG.

Cross-over subsidies
Cover-over subsidies are annual payments from the U.S. government to the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico out of federal excise taxes.[8] When a bottle of rum is produced in either the Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico, and then sold in the United States, the federal excise tax on that bottle is returned to its place of production.[9] Cover-over subsidies for U.S. island territories began in 1917. In 2008, the taxes generated about $371 million for Puerto Rico and $100 million for the Virgin Islands.[10] In April 2009, Puerto Rico's congressional representative, Pedro Pierluisi, introduced a bill prohibiting territories from using more than 10 percent of their cover-over receipts for industry specific subsidies.[11] This was as a result of increased competition to source distillery production between Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
On August 6, 2010, Governor Luis Fortuño mentioned the use of 6,743 million dollars funded by ARRA for some development projects.[12] He also stated that only 13% may be used for infrastructure and that 2,000 employments have been created with Federal Funds.
- we would have liked it to have been 70 percent, but you can't look a gift horse in the mouth ~ (Lgf)
- Private and Public Alliances (PPA)
- if outsiders come they will all think that it is a great way for the island to succeed.
- the government has to stop being the engine that moves the economy, you are the engines (the private sector)
- reducing cost and stabilizing the price on electricity to better the competitiveness of the island in order to start producing energy in a clean green way and create green employments.
- as a promoter of PR, I had a meeting with Carlos Slim, and I must say that he was surprised to see how eager we are in the island for it to succeed, we have sowed the seeds so the economy may be competitive. I strongly recommend that local companies be part of the PPA program before importing designs and engineers.
- PPA is not a project, it is a program that should keep operating for years to come.
The governor also handed out 40 property titles and signed three bills aimed at improving the tourist sector. He also transferred two closed down schools to the Ceiba municipal government. In all, eight municipalities came away from the activity with new funding for projects. Ceiba and Naguabo were the big winners with each taking $1.5 million. Loíza was assigned $950,000, Canóvanas, Luquillo and Vieques $800,000 each. Culebra took home $600,000 while Río Grande received $165,100. All funds come from ARRA grants and allocations.[13]
Zoning
Zoning (also known as zonificación in Spanish speaking state-republics) is the customary practice (or conventional strategic procedure) of dividing a city, district or municipality with the sole intention (objective common goal) of project planning residential, commercial and industrial buildings, in reserved areas (or sectors) that float on the verge of social and multicultural transmutation. These reserved hotspots are predetermined for specified usage through systematical and schematic corporate policy for future political advantage and current economic benefit.
Rundown
Its Zoning purpose of empowering market growth and urban development is a governmental power established under Executive order in conjunction with the Legislative and Judicial branches of Puerto Rico. Both the Puerto Rico Planning Board (Junta de Planificación de Puerto Rico) and Rules and Permits Administration (Administración de Reglamentos y Permisos - ARPE) act as two (2) random variable agencies independent from each other to keep balances in check and delegate (1) economic planning (2) land use zoning and (3) case-by-case permitting in the city-state of Puerto Rico. Since the late 1900s, major townships have been taking over that role under their own jurisdiction: "no se compensa por restricciones o limitaciones que la zonificación imponga sobre las propiedades." The Puerto Rico Planning Board was created on May 12, 1942 during the Rexford Tugwell's administration under Law 213 which converged centralized governmental planning with a New Deal philosophy under one (1) American Flag. It was later reorganized by the Law 75 of June 24, 1975.
Law 77 of 1964
Law 77 of 1964 (also known as Ley Número 77 del 25 de Junio de 1964) regulates the business of Real Estate for companies headquartered inside Puerto Rico.
Antithesis
"Se reglamenta las transacciones realizadas en la isla por compañias dedicadas a la venta de Bienes Raices localizadas fuera de Puerto Rico" (Law 45 of 1980)
U.S. government involvement
The US Department of Justice Antitrust Division announced the launch of a new web site in October 2007 to educate consumers and policymakers about the potential benefits that competition can bring to consumers of real estate brokerage services and the barriers that inhibit that competition. Among other findings, they report that certain new sales models can reduce consumer home sales costs by thousands of dollars. For example, in states that allow open competition, some buyer's brokers rebate up to two-thirds of their commission to the customer, and some seller's brokers offer limited-service packages that let sellers list their homes on the local multiple listing service (MLS) for as little as a few hundred dollars."[14] The DOJ web site, Competition and Real Estate, includes a link to the real estate laws of each U.S. state and how they support or inhibit real estate brokerage competition.
Access Control
Acceso Controlado (o Control de Acceso).
Legislation
Ley Número 21 del 20 de mayo de 1987 emmendada principalmente por las leyes Número 156 del 10 de agosto de 1988 y la Número 22 del 16 de julio de 1992. (23 L.P.R.A., Secs. 64 y sig.); Reglamento Número 3843 de Control de Tránsito y uso público de calles locales.
Concept
En el 1987, la Asamblea Legislativa aprobó la Ley Número 21 del 20 de mayo para autorizar a urbanizaciones y comunidades a controlar el acceso vehicular de automóviles y el uso público de sus calles residenciales con el propósito principal de proveer a nuestra ciudadanía un instrumento adicional para combatir la criminalidad y así procurar su cooperación activa en la lucha contra el crimen. La ley pretende además mejorar la seguridad y tranquilidad de nuestras comunidades de modo que los vecinos puedan lograr una sana convivencia e interacción comunitaria. El concepto de Control de Acceso implica que se preserva la naturaleza pública de las calles residenciales mientras se permite a los residentes establecer unos medios para controlar el tráfico de vehículos y el uso público, y así velar por su propia seguridad y cultivar un ambiente propicio para una mejor convivencia.

Real estate mortgages
In recent years, many economists have recognized that the lack of effective real estate laws can be a significant barrier to investment in many developing countries. In most societies, rich and poor, a significant fraction of the total wealth is in the form of land and buildings. In most advanced economies, the main source of capital used by individuals and small companies to purchase and improve land and buildings is mortgage loans (or other instruments). These are loans for which the real property itself constitutes collateral. Banks are willing to make such loans at favorable rates in large part because, if the borrower does not make payments, the lender can foreclose by filing a court action which allows them to take back the property and sell it to get their money back. For investors, profitability can be enhanced by using an off plan or pre-construction strategy to purchase at a lower price which is often the case in the pre-construction phase of development. But in many developing countries there is no effective means by which a lender could foreclose, so the mortgage loan industry, as such, either does not exist at all or is only available to members of privileged social classes.[23]

world Zoning breakthrough
On June 29, 2010, the Governor of Puerto Rico signs a sweeping unconventional bill transferring thirty (30) installations to municipalities with the objective of providing postmodern art space, avant-garde security and cutting-edge Head Start centers with contemporary health amenities for communities. According to Luis Fortuño, the municipalities receiving the properties are Barceloneta, Caguas, Cidra, Comerío, Guayama, Gurabo, Humacao, Juncos, Lajas, Lares, Morovis, Naguabo, Peñuelas, Ponce, Salinas, San Lorenzo, San Sebastián, Yabucoa and Yauco. He also transferred the administration of the Yabucoa Diagnostic and Treatment Center to that municipality. According to the new law, the municipal authority should cede its jurisdiction, in case of jurisdictional conflict, to the state authority in order to limit the violations of municipal laws from police action. This world evolutionary breakthrough, a platform promise for a new generation, will mark a new era in the history of municipal autonomy which represents a concrete contribution by the government to seek solutions to prevent crime in Puerto Rico.[24]
Housing stimulus 2011 program
During the month of August 2010, Luis Fortuño implements a revolutionary real estate / market plan (HS 2011) to reduce a large inventory of 20,000 unsold new homes.[25]
- A full exception on paying any Treasury Department financial stamps or payment receipts on new houses.
- Zero (0) payment on Treasury cancellation stamps and receipts when selling an existing property.
- Zero (0) property tax on any new home purchased up to 5 years after the sale.
- No capital gains tax on residential homes sold now.
- No capital gains tax on future residential sales.
- An increase from $1,000 to $5,000 in the mitigation loss cushion.
- Zero tax payment on rental properties for 10 years starting January 2011.
Digital application of 2010
Urban Kibbutz (digital) is the driving force application for real estate in Puerto Rico.
Protocol
Urban Kibbutz is a sophisticated digital network composed of micro-channels and innovative virtual spaces that empowers other countries mirror Puerto Rico's new business protocol (for next new markets) by promoting inspiration, evolution, sustainability and responsibility to the artistry of building brands for the retail, hotel, restaurant and entertainment industries. The metaphysical moniker of a nonlinear kibbutz was conceived and formulated by Jules Florencio Cortázar during the process of writing Hopscotch between 1961 and 1963.[26] Urban Kibbutz[27] also connotes a social gathering (of profound cosmopolitan revival) influenced by public art exhibitions, alternative lifestyle events, experimental media paraphernalia, urban beach festivals and downtown music extravaganza.[28]
- dba: digital brand assets extricated from prevalent physical properties within the zoning of a predetermined area
- urkibs: used to launch viral security measures targeting particular sectors within districts or municipalities
Urban Kibbutz is a form of kibbutz located within any existing urkiz of Puerto Rico. According to top Israeli Diplomat & Consul General Ofer Bavly, the island of Puerto Rico is getting closer to a more beneficial economic liaison with a new state of mind for business.[29]

Un distrito mixto con las siguientes limitaciones:

- horario negocio: siete de la mañana hasta las diez de la noche.
- proveer para ruidos excesivos y disposición de basuras, así como para la rotulación de medios publicitarios con resplandor excesivo.
Locotorp
Urban cooperative communities began to be established in the 1970s, when former kibbutz members and graduates of the Nahal (Fighting Pioneer Youth) program, which combines military service with civilian service, decided they wanted the collective aspect of kibbutz life while being part of society and exerting an influence on it. There are about 2,000 members of urban kibbutzim in Israel, most of whom are involved in education and social action.[30] Four of the urban kibbutzim belong to the Kibbutz Movement, and the rest, about 100, do not.[31] Urban kibbutz youth steer at-risk teens away from life of crime.[32]
Federal District of America
On August 2010, The Governor of Puerto Rico names Appellate Court Judge Edgardo Rivera García as the new Associate Judge of the Supreme Court in the Federal District of Puerto Rico located in Old San Juan.[33] Edgardo Rivera García has a B.A. in education from the University of Puerto Rico, an M.B.A. in Public Administration from the UPR Public Administration Graduate School and Juris Doctor from the UPR Law School, where he graduated with top honors in 1989.[34] He will be finally joining forces with The Honourable Jay García-Gregory Sacks.[35]
Business property management
District growth market perpetuation in Sustainable urban infrastructures is empowering the need of a BPM in the Sustainable city of San Juan. The high demand for strategic programs that will generate brand equity is being evaluated by the FDA to ensure and safeguard the aim of transmuting the current economic resources and financial obligations of any organization into a long-term sustainable business. This will be a top-notch kill to stamp out and overhaul the old futile ADP in Puerto Rico which still lives under the following paradox for mediocrity:
El incremento de la construccíon de urbanizaciones y condominios, las nuevas técnicas de construccíon y el creciente desarrollo de inversiones de capital extranjero, han creado en bienes raices la necesidad de la en la Administración de Propiedades: el manejar el funcionamiento o Modus operandi general de la propiedad por una persona que estará a cargo de una propiedad mediante una contratación y quien representará y actuará en interés de lo (s) dueño(s) que lo contrata(n) en todo lo concerniente a la propiedad objeto de contrato o Administrador de Propiedades.
LadyDelay in conjunction to GreenOrder has been established as the one (1) being-entity lead to counterattack, obliterate and revamp the following ADP proem:
Las urbanizaciones son complejas, y la falta de tiempo para la administración de casas por sus propios dueños así como los apartamentos en determinado condominio, ha generado un campo de arrendamiento en gran escala. Las relaciones entre los inquilinos y el propietario envuelven problemas sociales, legales y económicos. Estas unas de las razones por las cuales se han hecho necesaria la intervención de un administrador especializado en este negocio. El tipo de edificio que se construye hoy requiere antención especializada. Los edificios modernos son de grandes proporciones; tienen servicios de ascensores, acondicionadores de aire y e algunos casos calefacción, incinerador y otros equipos que requieren destrezas técnicas BS[disambiguation needed]; demandan una atención especializada. La ADP constituye una división del campo de Bienes Raices especializada: IREM-ARM-CPM-EE-JPM-ANR[disambiguation needed].[36]
Unlawful sales figures inflation in marketing projects
According to the complaint that was filed in the Federal District Court of Manhattan on August 2010, representatives of Trump SoHo said the project was “30, 40, 50, 60 percent or more sold” — both in individual sales pitches and statements to the press—but after the offering plan became effective in May, buyers learned that just over 15 percent of the building, 62 of the 391 units, had been sold.[37]
Year 2010
Although the economy has been stagnant over the past three (3) years, it has not been as hard hit by the sub-prime mortgage crisis as in some parts of the United States. The hundred million St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort will be one of the few new resorts to open this year amid all the prepossessing financing from local institutions because Puerto Rico, unlike the U.S. government, subsidizes its hotel industry.[38] According to the Latin America Weekly Outlook of Scotiabank Group, the island's economy has experienced a dramatic turnaround after three (3) years of uninterrupted economic decline. This nascent recovery is being supported by an ambitious and aggressive fiscal plan implemented by Puerto Rico's government backed by the fiscal stabilization package established last year in the United States.[39]
Green LEED
The Sheraton Hotel of Puerto Rico at Isla Grande Boulevard becomes the first in the Caribbean Basin built and certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design of the U.S. Green Building Council. This building complex within the District of Santurce is distinguished for fulfilling all the requirements of a LEED CERTIFIED HOTEL with electrical models, recycling, disposal of construction materials, and the use of local and recycled materials. According to Anthony Torres, the hotel also runs with environmental rules involving energy consumption, quality and filtration of air, green cleaning detergents and materials, and a controlled laundry process designed to maximize the use of natural resources.
Fortuño
Recent evidence developments continue to support the February 2010 estimation of a 2.5% economic expansion during FY2011, representing the first (1st) yearly expansion in five (5) years. According to the new Governor of Puerto Rico, Luis Fortuño, the island's republic estate will be a competitor in the world of high luxury with the construction of a six-star hotel after closing a $231 million construction-financing agreement that turns the Dorado Beach Resort into a Ritz-Carlton Reserve.[41]
The hotel is expected to be completed by 2012.
Fortuño also anticipated that Puerto Rico will count on a Integrated Construction Code by a family of codes established by The International Council of Codes to maximize the construction standards in the island and enact corporate social responsibility with the intention of forging safe sustainable methods in construction.
Value
According to The Economist, "developed economies'" assets at the end of 2002 were the following:
- Residential property: $48 trillion;
- Commercial property: $14 trillion;
- Equities: $20 trillion;
- Government bonds: $20 trillion;
- Corporate bonds: $13 trillion;
- Total: $115 trillion.
That makes real estate assets 54% and financial assets 46% of total stocks, bonds, and real estate assets. Assets not counted here are bank deposits, insurance "reserve" assets, natural resources, and human assets. It is not clear if all debt and equity investments are counted in the categories equities and bond.
Organic law to be amended on 2011
Law Five (5) DACO (Ley Número 5 del 1973) also known as Ley Orgánica del Departamento de Asuntos del Consumidor (or the Organic Law) clearly states the strict prohibition of real estate false advertising in commercial spaces including but not limited to wallscapes, newspapers, magazines, digital media and visual promotional street marketing material: Articles 6A-6J-6K and 19.[42]
Resolution
The real estate businesses in Mexico and Central America are different from the way that they are conducted in the United States. Some similarities include a variety of legal formalities (with professionals such as real estate agents generally employed to assist the buyer); taxes need to be paid (but typically less than those in U.S.); legal paperwork will ensure title; and a neutral party such as a title company will handle documentation and money in order to make the smooth exchange between the parties. Increasingly, U.S. title companies are doing work for U.S. buyers in Mexico and Central America. Prices are often much cheaper than most areas of the U.S., but in many locations, prices of houses and lots are as expensive as the U.S., one example being Mexico City. U.S. banks have begun to give home loans for properties in Mexico, but, so far, not for other Latin American countries.
One important difference from the United States is that each country has rules regarding where foreigners can buy. For example, in Mexico, foreigners cannot buy land or homes within 50 km of the coast or 100 km from a border unless they hold title in a Mexican Corporation or a Fideicomiso (a Mexican trust).[43] In Honduras, however, they may buy beach front property directly in their name. There are different rules regarding certain types of property: ejidal land– communally held farm property– can only be sold after a lengthy entitlement process, but that does not prevent them from being offered for sale. In Costa Rica, real estate agents do not need a license to operate, but the transfer of property requires a lawyer.
Trivia
Some people have claimed that the word real in this sense is descended (like French royal and Spanish real) from the Latin word for 'king'. In the feudal system (which has left many traces in the common law) the king was the owner of all land, and everyone who occupied land paid him rent directly or indirectly (through lords who in turn paid the king), in cash, goods or services (including military service). Property tax, paid to the state, can be seen as a relic of that system, as is the term fee simple. However, this derivation of real is a misconception.[44]
