Jamaicas murder rate is like 10 times higher than America, they have massive problems with guns and gangs. Not very safe outside of the tourist areas for a gringo. Youre probably going to have a baaad time

Yes. Kingston. More specifically Tivoli Gardens.

There was this lady my wife talked to once who was from Jamaica, had worked for a while in Canada and saved up some money, and moved back there to retire. She was saying that people were always trying to get her to give them money, trying to rob the house, etc. She hired security guards but they stole shit from her too. Eventually she gave up and moved back here. I imagine a foreigner would have an even shittier time trying to do the same kind of thing.
Check out http://www.landwatch.com, lots of really cheap land on there. They have listings for all different countries but there's a lot of cheap stuff in the US.

Like everyone else is saying, Jamaicas pretty hardcore. You might never be able to assimilate with the locals there, and will probably have to deal with a LOT of crime being an outsider.
@starfire Really? The weed I smoked in Jamaica was far from terrible- ounce colas of fairly potent smoke, but it wasn't super-potent. The coke though I was surprised to find a lot of E, too, but in hindsight I should have expected it, being as I was at a fairly cheap resort.

I have always heard when traveling to Jamaica, you keep your white ass in the resort.

People say scary things about everywhere. It may very well be true, but from my experience, most foreign places aren't nearly as scary as people say they are. I'd do some digging and researching. Read some books on Jamaican travel, check out some expat blogs from other people who have moved there, etc. It could be just the place for you, or it could be hell on earth for you.

It was the same way in the Virgin Islands. We went out walking down a side street, and this plain clothes cop car stopped and these black cops told us to turn around and go back the other way because we'd get killed if we went to that neighborhood.

Embassy employees as well as private U.S. citizens are advised to avoid traveling into high-threat areas including, but not limited to Mountain View, Trench Town, Tivoli Gardens, Cassava Piece, and Arnett Gardens in Kingston, and Flankers, Canterbury, Norwood, Rose Heights, Clavers Street and Hart Street in Montego Bay. Sudden demonstrations can occur, during which demonstrators often construct roadblocks or otherwise block streets.

Jamaica is gangsta as fuck. The hoods in Kingston would make Compton and fucking 8 Mile look like Disney Land or some shit. Tivoli Gardens is where that entire neighborhood fought to the death for their friendly neighborhood drug lord (Christopher Coke) to the tune of like 75 dead. Police came in to get him and it turned into a damn battle.
They don't give a fuck.
