Is this the time to invest in Puerto Rico?

[DangerousDave]

The housing market has crashed. People are abandoning the island in droves. After decades of neglect, the electrical grid couldnt handle a hurricane.

Unemployment and poverty are extremely high.

Property prices have nowhere to go but up?
Lots of $ coming in, repairing the old infrastructure.
Once that is stable, tourism will return, and with it, people looking to buy and live in the Caribbean for a reasonable cost.

So is this the time to get in? Or wait a couple years to see how things pan out?
