Today, I want to tell you about a part of Costa Rica that is still a secret to most of the outside world.
This place is called the forgotten coast because it is the least discovered and most unexplored region in Costa Rica. For years, tourists have flocked to the country’s Pacific coast and business has gravitated to the capital city, San Jose. Most people overlooked Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.
There are two segments of Ireland’s property market where I see the potential for strong demand—and there’s a limited supply of housing. Rents and values in these two sectors are rising.

As a member of our little group you will be familiar with the Tao project close to Tulum on the southern edge of the Riviera Maya. This is where you, as a member, get a 7% discount on condos in a new building and other goodies like a 10-year free Tao Wellness Center membership, $5,000 credit toward your furniture package and $1,000 toward travel expenses. In the Tao Wellness Center, you can swim in lap pools, work out in the fitness center, or try yoga and meditation.
In picture perfect Ireland, along the western seaboard and in the rolling countryside it’s a buyer’s market. You could even buy a historic house for free…or close to free.
Take one historic mansion in the south-east of Ireland, for example. Gowran Castle in Co Kilkenny.
This is a strong opportunity for the right person who can act fast. You see, the owner needs to sell. It originally listed for $179,000. Then she dropped her price and wanted no less than $159,000. Now I hear she wants out fast.
