As a real estate investor, I follow the “big ideas” of investment to find our profit opportunity. Discover my latest insights in the August Issue of RETA.
The deals in this month’s Issue can’t be found in any broker’s window. Or if they are, the sticker price could be 34% higher…or more. These are the “secret deals.”
I tell you where you can find them in the July Issue of RETA.
Eighteen months of chasing and following up leads and I’ve found it—our first ever chance to profit on Malaga’s short-term rental market. And boy, what an opportunity this is for us. I’ll explain more in the June Issue of RETA…
In the coming weeks, we’ll be able to lock down full-ownership of a luxury condo here in Cabo for just $226,200 thanks to a very particular set of circumstances. I’ll explain more in the May Issue of RETA…
It was 2009 and as Spain’s economy had cratered and unemployment soared, the real estate market stalled. One wealthy Russian thought he could buck the trend. He had one of the best combinations of location and spectacular views on the Costa del Sol…and deep pockets. The homes were built…but never sold. And this has created one of the strongest Costa del Sol opportunities I have ever brought to RETA.
“Here…over here!” My contact shone the flashlight of his camera phone at a gap in the fence behind a faded billboard. He squeezed through. I hauled my six-foot-two frame after him. We left behind the wide, tree-lined boulevard. Luxury SUVs passed by, their drivers unaware of our presence beyond the fence. Or what the future of this Playa del Carmen neighborhood holds…
I’ve just returned from Placencia, Belize. And I dropped everything to put this report together for you—because our opportunity there has knocked my socks off. On my trip, I was following Placencia’s Path of Progress—a path that I discovered could lead you to double your money in one, four, or five years.
Last October, I took an extensive 10-day scouting trip to Spain’s Costa del Sol. One place high on my scouting list was Estepona, south of Marbella. This is the locale where Real Estate Trend Alert members have locked down townhomes for just $189,000. That deal came thanks to Spain’s dysfunctional and grossly inefficient real estate market. Taking advantage of Spain’s inefficiencies is the best way to get in here now…but you have to be ready to act…
All the cranes in Cabo are being used to build new luxury hotels. No one is building the homes needed for the hotel managers, the golf pros, the IT experts, and all the other new business owners. No one, that is, except for one smart developer. And it’s through him that we get our opportunity—a chance to profit from this boom. Our gains could be spectacular…
Our latest deal in Panama is so strong, so compelling, and so obviously profitable that it’s a no-brainer. It’s the best true beachfront play on our beat right now, bar none—and the best Panama beachfront play I’ve seen in my close on 13-year career scouting and investing in Panama real estate.
