diiva initially posted:

im thinking if i should invest on property and buy more houses in fiji and rent it out or should a start a business but what business is fiji lacking in and what business will make money. i have two properties there and by the time the money from the rent gets converted into NZD it becomes less

Hi We have a home in Savusavu but was under the impression we could not rent it out as we do not live in Fiji? Can you explain how this works? Thanks

Zonux replied on December 10, 2012 with:

Hey Diiva, I am in the same boat as you. Have two rental properties in Nadi and it being a challenge keeping those going. Started off with an average rent of F$1500 per month back in 2006 and now down to $F600 per month as rental prices have come down. About to remodel a bit and see if I can get the rent back up. As for a business, I have been looking into a technology based business, that is an area that is starting to grow in Fiji and as Internet access becomes normal everyday amenties, business idea around use of technology will be useful in Fiji. The challenge is being located in Fiji in order to run the business. I tried the long distance business owner deal and it just did not work out well.

hi, my name is Sean. i am from the US and i have dreamed about living somewhere tropical and getting away from the grind of a 'normal' life here in the states. surfing is also a must for my new home.(ive never surfed but i literally dream about it every single night). I just need to remove myself from this toxic, dying environment before i become a zombie like everyone else. after some research i have decided on fiji. i cant think of the city name off the top of my head but it starts with a s and its not suva. It is said to have an ok sized expat community and low crime rate. i am 22 years old, my plan is to sell all that i can, buy a one way ticket and hope for the best. i am looking for any advice on where is the best place to live, be it in fiji or not, how much money i will need, how bad crime is. i have never don this before haha so im just looking for any insight. NOTE: if u live in fiji and need a roommate, or have anywhere safe i can stay for a little bit, just long enough for me to get my bearings after i move. it does not even have to be inside, i just need somewhere i know is safe where i can lay my head. i am going to try to bring a tent so like i said, outside is cool haha. please help me out. this is by no means a joke. i am planning on arriving in suva fiji around january 20, 2013. please, any help would be extremely welcomed!! Thanks with love, -Sean

neihanabanana posted Permaculture? Opportunities? on the Fiji forum:

Hi I am a young man (23) living in australia. Moved from New Zealand to escape the bone chilling cold. I am looking for an opportunity to love and work the land in a tropical place. My dream is to learn permaculture techniques and earth building techniques and to make a hand crafted, permaculture property loaded with exotic fruits, a place for people to come and relax, eat well, and leave the smallest footprint possible/ live in harmony with nature Think, composting toilets, food forest, rain catchments, grey water systems, ponds Swales berms I am wondering is there anybody there doing something like that that me and my half Fijian fiancé could come and learn from and work the land to earn our keep?
