It does seem that you should be able to find some good housemates. How about an ad in AARP? Or some English as a second language organization? The hitch is the car - that requires a certain amount of capital and permanence. You might do better offering your spaces as vacation rentals with a car - as a way to get started?

Alone. I want housemates. There is no rent, no mortgage, just sharing maintenance and the salaries of a housekeeper and a handyman (about$250/mo.) Perfect for early retirees, teachers of English (much in demand here), entrepreneurs of all ages. You'll probably want a car, 4x4 best. Everyone uses cell phones, and I have Internet at home, too. There are no houses or roads to be seen from my tranquil mountaintop. The weather is perfect- dry, breezy, 75-85 degrees year-round, cooler at night. I have a guest wing for 2-4 people, plus a cottage for 2-3, or one who prefers privacy. I have bathtubs and hot water, too, which are rare in my adopted country. Don't believe the U.S. State Department warnings. Honduras is a peaceful, growing country, which I feel safer in than in NY or NJ where my children and grandchildren live.
