I want you to be the first to receive my invitation. After all, the schedule is designed for you. And with only 150 places available, it’s important that you have the opportunity to consider dates and act before these few seats sell out.
On December 16, I told you about a new pre-release opportunity called Piazza Coliseu in the Iracema Beach area of Fortaleza, northeast Brazil. You still have a brief window of opportunity…maybe just two weeks…to get in before the launch to the local market. At this point I expect prices will rise by at least 5%.
April 4-6, 2013 – Panama City, Panama
As quality of life (worsened by crumbling economies) deteriorates elsewhere in the world, Panama looks better and better…Nowhere else can you enjoy such a comfortable life…with near-perfect year-round weather, excellent medical care, fresh, healthy food straight from the farmer’s truck…and a retirement incentive program that’s truly welcoming of expats…Discover if Panama is for you.
Today I want to interrupt my on-the- ground reporting from the DR with news about our latest “off market” deal. This opportunity in Uruguay is strong. I wanted to make sure you heard about it at the earliest possible opportunity.
Santo Domingo is the capital city of the Dominican Republic and one of the largest cities in Latin America. I haven’t explored it yet. That will have to wait until the tail end of my scouting trip. Pulling out of the airport…across the bay her skyline glimmers. I’m most interested in the restored colonial center. Museums, restaurants and short-term rental market. My 11-day scouting trip will end in Santo Domingo.
Daniel Neves has put together projections for Cidade Nova, the fourteen house project he started. This model and these numbers are scalable. View Cidade Nova’s project estimates here.
I’ve just returned from a seven-day scouting trip to Ecuador’s finest stretch of coast. Here, virgin forest covers dramatic hills. The beaches extend ribbon-like along the seashore—pristine, empty, and beautiful. This time of year the foliage is lush and green…almost luminous. The water is clear and blue. In parts…when the sun hits it in a certain way it almost looks turquoise. In other parts lone surfers have miles of beach and awesome surf breaks to themselves.
On January 27th this year I told you about developer Benjamin Beja’s plans for a new community on Mexico’s Riviera Maya. At International Living’s recent Ultimate Event, Benjamin shared his vision with members of our little group in person at our private investors meeting. We were the first to hear. Next week we will be the first to see. Benjamin has invited us to come and see the site and his plans first-hand.
Uruguay’s Punta del Este is where South America’s rich and beautiful people hang out. Rent an unspectacular house here in January (Uruguay’s high season) and it will likely set you back $20,000.
The best way to maximize your return on investment in the Fortaleza market is to buy pre-construction condos with a low down payment (1%) and monthly payments of 1% during the build period…
