This month I’ve got a good one for you…just bring your favorite coffee cup and a beach towel. At the heart of the Riviera Maya we have an opportunity to own a move-in-ready condo throwing off $2,740 a month in gross rent.
Greetings from Tuscany.
I’m here to see if we can profit from Italy’s falling real estate prices. And also enjoying la dolce vita in this region of golden wheat fields, olive groves and vineyards, quaint hilltop towns and a treasure trove of art.
For a long time in Spain, the best way to ensure you kept your civil service job was to make things as complicated as possible. Frequent changes of government, corrupt administrations, and 36 years of dictatorship have molded the character of the country’s officialdom.
On Thursday, I wrote about our seven discounted condos in Playa Caracol, Panama. We could buy a brand-new, finished condo next to the sand with three bedrooms and bathrooms from $399,800. That’s our members-only price. The list price on that condo is $509,885: $110,085 more. You’re locking in capital gains from the outset. And, there’s more to come. I figure these condos could be worth $700,000 in five years’ time.
I wrote yesterday about an amazing deal on Panama’s Pacific coast. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime deal…with the kind of discounts I don’t expect we’ll see again in this desirable locale.
I’ve just signed off on a deal that I couldn’t wait to tell you about. So, I’ve interrupted our regular schedule…cleared the decks…to give this deal the space it deserves.
Sometimes my scouting trips turn into magical mystery tours—where taking a side road or an unmarked turnoff leads to some amazing finds.
That’s what happened on a scouting trip on Panama’s Pacific coast back in 2007
With rugged cliffs and vast swathes of beach, Portugal’s northern Atlantic coast is stunning, but you don’t expect to find a tiny old chapel surviving right on the ocean’s edge.
“The early morning has gold in its mouth.” I hear Benjamin Franklin translated that from a German proverb. It’s apt. When I’m on the road, I rise early. It’s when I speak to my contacts across the world, get updates on our opportunities and hear about new ones..
I’m writing to you from the town of Carvoeiro. It’s one of Portugal’s pretty resort towns, a place with a long history and a booming tourist trade.
