In the early and mid-2000s, Europe’s real estate markets embarked on a massive tear. People re-financed, often to buy a vacation home or make a speculative investment in Europe’s sunnier locales. But now markets are moving again and opportunities are presenting themselves..
The real estate market at the southern edge of Mexico’s Riviera Maya is the fastest moving market on my beat. The buying moment is now—but we have a limited time to act before the moment passes. Tulúm has gone mainstream in a big way…In this special edition of Real Estate Trend Alert I reveal the opportunities we have yet to look forward to.
Until recently, Cabo, at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula in Northwestern Mexico, wasn’t on my radar. Today, thanks to a rare combination of events, we have a very special opportunity here—an unusual pricing anomaly in a high-end, blue chip location, as I explain in this special edition of Real Estate Trend Alert
Right now the south of Spain is on a tear. The best distressed real estate deals are being snapped up, and the window of opportunity is fast closing. The situation in the Costa del Sol is playing out just like I forecast. Now is the time to act.
Uruguay has a long tradition of accepting investment in its land from outside of the country. Safe, solid, and reliable Uruguay, with its infrastructure of roads, ports, agri-business, and legal and tax environments, is a place we can securely and profitably invest for yields of up to 9%.
As you know, the Tulúm area on Mexico’s Riviera Maya is my buy of the decade. Now we have the chance to buy into what will be the closest development to the beach in Tulúm. This new opportunity in Tulúm has been two years in the making.
Puerto Vallarta—one of Mexico’s most popular expat destinations—is home to an estimated 50,000 North Americans. It has endless beaches, marinas, and a yacht club. But California money helped turn a sleepy, stable market into a crazy mess. In the aftermath, we may find opportunity.
If you have preconceptions about the Dominican Republic, put them aside. Most North American tourists head to the all-inclusive resorts of Punta Cana. The opportunity for us is elsewhere—somewhere a beach town pad could be a great earner when you’re not using it.
Europeans came to Icaraí and fell for the stunning curve of beach and a charming little fishing village—now it offers us cheap, beautiful beachfront opportunities. Plus, in this special edition: where you can combine profit potential and real estate for personal use in the Algarve…questions to ask before doing a deal on productive land…short-term rental markets and the local laws you should be aware of…and more.
Five months ago I spent two weeks scouting through Thailand—most of that was spent in Chiang Mai, for that is where the opportunity lies. This is a complicated market, as I explain in a special edition of Real Estate Trend Alert—ready to download here.
In this special edition, you’ll also discover… How to profit from inefficient markets… The condos in Medellin, Colombia that you should avoid… And lots more…
