2. If you are not fluent in French obtain the services of a translator. A translator is knowledgeable in terms associated with real estate. Real Estate documents and meetings are in French.

3. You must obtain an authorization permit from a Notary of the French Polynesian government. To purchase residential real estate a minimum investment of 300,000 (USD) is required.
   
4. Clear the title for sale. Land divisions are difficult to clear in Tahitit. There may be many owners for a parcel of land. Some Polynesians real estate owners may not be willing to sell their properties and create "indivision" problems.
   
5. Over 90% of the population of French Polynesia lives in Tahiti. Consider purchasing real estate away from Papeete or Bora Bora. Visit Huahine, Raiatea and Tahaa. They are beautiful islands and are not as developed. These areas are ideal for real estate investment.
 
6. Instead of purchasing real estate consider leasing or renting property in Tahiti. A long term lease can offer many of the same benefits as does ownership.
