A young Cuban, known on TikTok as @yaneisycanta_98, has surprised her followers by revealing that she bought a house in Cuba for 4,000 dollars and decided to invest in its renovation, despite the difficulties and negative comments she has received.
"I bought a house in Cuba for $4,000, but it didn't have the necessary conditions. I made a kitchen and put in new flooring."
"They tell me I'm crazy for investing that amount of money in Cuba, where the crisis in this country is no secret," explained the young woman in a video that has garnered thousands of views.
According to what he mentioned, the house has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a spacious yard with fruit trees and a brackish water well. Although he hasn't moved in yet, he continues to make repairs and improvements to the property.
"I have finished the kitchen area, which was the most needed part. Now I just have to paint and do a few more details," she said.
Yaneisy acknowledged that, despite the difficult economic situation in the country, she feels satisfied with her personal achievement. “This year I won’t be wearing new clothes, but I will be moving into my own house at 27,” she stated proudly.
In her post, the young woman also compared housing prices in Cuba, where some properties can reach values of $30,000 to $100,000, sums unimaginable for most Cubans who rely solely on their state salaries.
Yaneisy's testimony has sparked divided reactions on social media: while some congratulate her for her effort and determination, others question the wisdom of investing in property in a country characterized by inflation, power outages, and a lack of opportunities.
The story of this young woman reflects the reality of many Cubans who, despite the crisis, seek to create their own space and improve their quality of life on the island.
