What people say about US Virgin Islands
Sources agree that the US Virgin Islands is simple to enter for Americans, since it is US territory, but costly to run once there.
- Concern WAPA electricity is expensive and outages are routine; backup power is treated as standard
- Concern Insurance is a hard market: higher premiums, large percentage windstorm deductibles, trouble for wood-frame homes; flood is separate
- Mixed Closings are attorney-led, take longer than on the mainland, and need a USVI-licensed lender; surveys matter on irregular hillside lots
- Mixed Condo costs are driven by windstorm insurance; check reserves and master policy before buying
