Real Estate Trend Alert Lifetime
Uruguay’s “beach province” of Rocha has the country’s best beaches and most charming beach towns with white sands, backed by dunes, stretching for miles. Beyond the breaking waves, the Atlantic is blue and flat to the horizon. The beach towns in Rocha have a quiet charm. La Paloma is the biggest and most vibrant…La Pedrera has a more upscale ambiance…and tiny Cabo Polonio is famous for its arty residents.
A special edition of Real Estate Trend Alert—on my buy of the decade on the Riviera Maya. In this special edition, you’ll also discover…
What happens when unstoppable tourism demand meets limited land opportunities… The excellent protection offered by Brazilian “reciprocity” contracts (I just got a check for $20,000)… A new real estate investment trust in Ireland… The opportunity in retirement care in Ecuador… Incentives to invest in Panama City’s 341-year-old historic quarter…
Yesterday I told you about our member-only deal to buy an early-in, luxury two-bedroom condo for $198,000. (List price for this condo is $210,000).
We can buy a two-bedroom condo here from $185,000 but if you pay $198,000 then your condo has a “lock off” bedroom suite that you can rent independently. The lock-off even has its own private garden.
The southern edge of Mexico’s Riviera Maya is a stunning stretch of coast that’s on the up—thanks to the convergence of major trends along these stunning white sands. North Americans are back buying thanks to a strong stock market and recovering real estate values back home.
Details about an interesting piece of land for sale in Costa Rica just crossed my desk. I know the area well but I haven’t walked this specific land—nor have I asked my lawyer to review the paperwork. As with any real estate opportunity, you should do both before buying.
In Northeast Brazil two weeks ago the elite of Fortaleza’s real estate community gathered for an industry event to mark the “broker” launch of the Fazenda Imperial gated community. The launch and presentation took place at a local cinema.
One member of our little group can lock down the last lot at the Hacienda San Joaquin community in Vilcabamba, Ecuador at a 44% discount to list price. Lot MV3 lists for $160,000. It could be yours for $89,000. This is a special situation. We have this opportunity, not because the developer is distressed, but because he has been successful. This is the last lot in Phase 1. The developer Joe Simonetta wants to be fully sold out on the phase this side of Easter.
I’ve just returned from a 10-day scouting trip along Mexico’s Riviera Maya.
This is a stretch of coast buzzing with commerce and activity—at the perfect buying moment. The major trends I have been telling you about in these alerts are happening.
I’ve just got word on an urgent “flash alert” special opportunity on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast.
Nicaragua’s south Pacific is one of the most stunning stretches of coast on earth. And Rancho Santana has carved out two miles of it. It’s a well-established community with five sandy beaches; what I think of as a “high amenity” development.
Greetings from the stunning white sands of Mexico’s Riviera Maya. I’m here on a 10-day scouting trip to investigate further opportunity here.
As you know, the lofts at Tao will be sleek, luxurious condos nestled in a verdant corner of the Tao community. It’s within the beachfront Gran Bahia Principe resort, 15 minutes from Tulum’s buzzing beach town.
