Season’s Greetings from Woodlock House. This is Real Estate Trend Alert’s publisher, International Living’s new headquarters. It’s amazing to see the transformation. Five years ago, IL founder Bill Bonner asked me to find a very special building—cheap. We looked at castles first.
The sun rolls out across Lisbon’s skyline and stunning ancient streets. In the warm midday sun, the temperature has just hit 68 F. It doesn’t take from the festive spirits. Pop-up Christmas markets are in almost every square.
Two years ago, I took my first scouting trip to Los Cabos. I immediately saw opportunity—one that has only gotten stronger since then. Our first opportunity was to lock down luxury condos at Copala at a fraction of their true value.
On Wednesday, in your Special Edition, I told you all about how our buying opportunity in Cabo is hotting up—and about the new deal I expect to bring you the full details of, early in the new year.
Right now, Northern Nicaragua is one of the strongest plays on our entire beat—and the last true frontier opportunity in Central America. It’s also one of the most beautiful places on my beat.
I’ve just gotten off the phone with my contact in Northern Nicaragua, Jordan Clark. And he’s told me about a killer land play that one Real Estate Trend Alert member can act on right now.
The Tao community is now a plug-and-play rental opportunity. You could buy here today and start collecting rent checks next week. The rental market is strong. And growing. So much so that I strongly urge you to put boots on the ground and see our opportunity here firsthand.
As I told you on Thursday, the community at Tao is now a reality. Rentals are in strong demand. You see…Tao is now a destination. It’s a place where folks come to take part in wellness retreats and activities, to play golf, or hang out at the beach.
The rental market on the Riviera Maya is strong. A segment in particular short supply (unless your budget is $5,000 per week or more) is larger homes within walking distance of the turquoise Caribbean waters off Mexico’s coast.
Thanks to a special situation, two Real Estate Trend Alert members can lock in an immediate gain of $65,000 on Mexico’s stunning Riviera Maya. As a member of our little group, you will be familiar with the opportunity we have along these white sands on Mexico’s Caribbean coast.
Transparency is important to us, so you should know that properties and development projects detailed here may be clients of Pangaea Limited, a real estate advertising company managed by Ronan McMahon and Margaret Summerfield. Should you purchase one of the properties, Pangaea may receive a fee from the property owners, real estate developers and/or real estate agents. International Living Publishing Limited, along with certain marketing companies who work with Pangaea, may receive a portion of that fee.
Nothing in this website, and no communication by our staff, should be considered personalized advice.
