Last month, 13 of your fellow members gathered at the Pacific Lots project in Costa Rica’s Southern Zone. They had two price lists: one for all the inventory at the project; the other, a special list of lower prices for our little group on 14 handpicked lots.
I’m bullish on Tulum. Not just because of the coast and white sands but also because of improved infrastructure (including plans for an international airport) and a government program that calls for an increase in tourist numbers.
Costa Rica’s South Pacific rates as one of our most popular chill weekend destinations. Trips here book up quickly, and sell out months in advance. If you’ve ever visited this jaw-droppingly beautiful part of Costa Rica then you’ll understand why.
Ecuador’s North coast is on my radar because it’s stunningly beautiful. And, recently accessible. Perched above a sandy cove, Jama Campay is this coast’s best-in-class project. Here, the rental market is already strong.
I’d like you to invite you to a special event – open exclusively to members of RETA. It’s an opportunity to visit and experience first-hand a stunning Caribbean resort community in increasingly popular Tulum. And this is real community. Not just bricks, mortar and a white-sand beach, but a full lifestyle.
Sitting here, calm Caribbean waters sparking in the tropical sun, a warm breeze gently flapping beach umbrellas, an ice cold drink in hand; I’m enjoying my first taste of life in this early-in Caribbean resort community. This is the first of six beach bars and restaurants to open in the residential community of the Gran Bahia Principe La Romana, in the Dominican Republic. This is a strong, early-in opportunity if you are looking to be part of an accessible Caribbean resort community.
I’m bullish on Tulum. The appreciation potential is strong. You can buy a condo for $186,930 (that includes a 7% discount). Payment terms include financing of $893 a month. Without the financing, there are other member bonuses like free golf club memberhip.
Uruguay’s “beach province” of Rocha has the country’s best beaches and most charming beach towns. Members of Real Estate Trend Alert can buy a lot here for $28,985. Interest-free finance is available over three years.
I’ve spent the last year making contacts, picking brains and analyzing the numbers. Now I have formed a clear view. And it’s one of a bright future for Colombia. One of a pathway (which will certainly include some bumps) to relative prosperity.
Greetings from the Greek island of Santorini. I’m coming to the tail end of a two-week trip to Greece. I’ve been reminded how truly stunning her islands are. I’ve also got under the hood of what’s happening on the ground with their politics, economics and real estate market.
