Big $28,710 Lots in Uruguay’s Best Beach Town

On June 17th I told you about the opportunity at La Serena Golf in the province of Rocha, Uruguay. This is a great deal from a strong developer.
Not far away (but closer to Punta del Este) lot prices range from $40-$135 per square meter. That’s $162,000 to over $500,000 for an acre lot. And, these prices include projects without golf or tennis. Projects with hardly any amenities, in fact.
At La Serena Golf you have both. Half-acre lot prices start at $31,900. As a RETA member you can avail of our member-only pricing and get a 10% discount. That gives you an entry point of $28,710.

Today’s Fire Sale Auction in Ireland

I’m watching developments in Ireland closely. In 2008 Ireland’s banks and real estate industry spectacularly imploded. Since then we have been waiting. Not much happened until a couple of months ago.
The real estate market never found a floor. There were almost no transactions. The nationalized banking system and the bad bank (NAMA: National Assets Management Agency, established to wind down failed developers and get land speculation loans off the banks’ books) stayed silent. They have been sitting on all the Irish inventory on their books.
That’s set to change. Get ready.

The Best Way to Play Uruguay’s Coast

If you want to tap into the next trend in Uruguay’s “beach province” for less than $60,000 an acre…this is it.
In this alert I’ll give the relevant background on Uruguay…some context that shows why this is such a strong opportunity right now…and then the specifics on this real estate deal—which includes a discount ed price list for any RETA member who wants to buy.

3 Deals…and My 7-Country Scouting Schedule

Summer…180 attendees…and 23 of my trusted contacts…have all arrived in Toronto for the International Real Estate Investment Forum. The exhibit hall is buzzing. It’s great to see so many of those green badges that are reserved for members of our little group.

It’s been energizing and informative to share ideas and experiences with those of you who have been able to make it. It has also been exciting to see so many RETA members connecting. At member-only events in the past, friendships have been made that turned into business relationships. That’s what happens when you pack a room with smart people chasing the same thing: Undervalued real estate opportunities.

All-in Trip to Tulum This July

As you know, I’m bullish on Tulum. Not just because of the coast and white sands but also because improved infrastructure and a government program plans to grow tourist number.

When I was last there, I was impressed with progress at Tao. I stayed in the Sian Ka’an condo Hotel where some RETA members bought last year. This project is also being developed by Benjamin Beja.

The build quality and the finishes are first class. The staff are friendly, the food is great…everything is tastefully done. It bodes well for the quality at Tao.

Today, I would like to extend an invitation from developer Benjamin Beja to visit and see what I saw; to get the Tao experience. This is an offer you should give serious consideration to.

New Markets, New Opportunities – 8 Places I’ll Visit This Summer

Summer has arrived. For me, it brings with it a jam–packed schedule of scouting trips on your behalf. I’m looking for new places where we can profit from the major trends on my beat, including:

– New Middle Class: As people join the middle classes they can afford things they couldn’t before like a new condo or vacation on the beach.

– Path of Progress: New bridges, roads and airports that are going to improve accessibility

– Distressed opportunities created by crisis.

My travels will take in Colombia, Ireland, London, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

Ecuador’s Next 2 Opportunities

Nestling in an Ecuadorian valley just 20 minutes north-east of downtown Quito is the upscale neighborhood of Cumbaya. At 2,400 meters (7,874 feet) it’s a bit lower than Quito’s downtown. That makes it sunnier and warmer. Here, you will find high-end gated communities, restaurants, malls and car dealerships.

You will also find the Hospital de los Valles…a private hospital of 100 beds and 250 doctors.

This hospital plans to target Americans for medical tourism.

How to Appeal to Brazil’s “Jet-Set” Market

Finally, a true five-star resort community is coming to the Fortaleza area of Northeast Brazil. It’s been years in the making. In fact, when I visited this part of Brazil over three years ago roads had already been constructed and earth moved for the golf course.

Today, the golf course is open…as is the five-star Dom Pedro Hotel. We can now get in on the first luxury condo pre-release with special member-only pricing and terms.

Want Beach? This is the Best Deal

Jama Campay is an opportunity to buy a home of more than 1,700 square feet, perched above…yet only steps from…a white-sand beach. From your lap pool you have views past the beach and breaking waves to the Pacific Ocean. Here, you can watch giant whales drift by or gaze south along the coast where luminous green jungle rises steeply from the Pacific Ocean
