Browse available propertiesOne of the Caribbean's Most Diverse Investment Markets
The Puerto Plata province spans 60+ miles of Dominican North Coast, combining world-class beaches, established expat communities, thriving tourism infrastructure, and rapidly appreciating real estate — all within 30 minutes of Puerto Plata International Airport (POP).
The Action Sports Capital

Diving & Beachfront Living
A laid-back town with one of the DR's best snorkeling beaches and a long-established expat and retiree community. Strong LTR and STR demand, competitive property prices, and direct beach access.
Golf & Resort Infrastructure
A gated resort complex with an 18-hole championship golf course, all-inclusive hotels, and strong infrastructure. Ideal for villa investment with resort amenities and proximity to Puerto Plata's historic downtown.
Gateway & Historic Hub
The provincial capital with international airport (POP), the iconic Teleférico cable car, Fortaleza San Felipe, and growing commercial infrastructure. A key logistics and cultural hub for the entire region.
Residential Gated Community
A quiet, established residential area with gated security, ocean views, and private beach access. Popular with long-term expats seeking more space and privacy than the tourist towns provide.
Emerging & Marina Markets
Luperón's natural bay is a world-famous cruising destination with a growing marina economy. Emerging land and villa opportunities exist for early investors throughout the western Puerto Plata coast.
Law 158-01
The CONFOTUR Tax Advantage — Available Across the Puerto Plata Region
DR Law 158-01 grants approved tourism-zone properties extraordinary tax incentives. The entire Puerto Plata region qualifies, making it one of the most tax-efficient markets in the Western Hemisphere for foreign investors.
How Fractional Ownership Works
TWL acquires properties through individual Dominican SRLs — each investor holds cuotas (equity units) directly in the property entity, protected by US and DR law.
Verify & Subscribe
Complete accredited investor verification under Reg D Rule 506(c) and review the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) for your chosen property.
Fund Your Stake
Wire your investment (minimum $25,000) and receive cuotas in the property-specific SRL, representing your proportional ownership up to 49%.
Earn Quarterly
Wahoo Property Management SRL operates the asset. Net STR and LTR rental income is distributed to cuota holders quarterly after the 20% management fee.
Exit & Profit
At exit, TWL's in-house Sales Division acts as listing agent — capturing the brokerage commission and maximizing net proceeds for all investors.
How TWL Creates Value
Investment Returns
STR and LTR rental income plus equity appreciation on North Coast properties — distributed pro-rata to investors quarterly.
Property Management Fees
Wahoo Property Management SRL retains a 20% management fee in-house — zero dollars leave the TWL ecosystem to third parties.
Portfolio Exit Commissions
TWL's Sales Division acts as listing agent on all dispositions — earning the brokerage commission and returning additional value to managing partners.
Third-Party Real Estate Sales
TWL markets and sells DR property to buyers outside the investment network, earning commissions across the full Puerto Plata market.

Projected Returns vs. Common Alternatives
TWL's projected ~13% annualized IRR is competitive with top-tier US private real estate syndications — with one key structural advantage: CONFOTUR eliminates rental income tax for up to 15 years, making pre-tax and post-tax returns nearly identical.
