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.

In the Tao Wellness Center, you can swim in lap pools, work out in the fitness center, or try yoga and meditation.

Own a Lot in Costa Rica’s Lake Country from $299 a Month

As a member of our little group, you will know that I scout for overlooked and undervalued real estate in the world’s most stunning locales. I then negotiate special pricing and terms on your behalf. Costa Rica’s lake country of Arenal is a place that ticks my boxes. This is a place where I love to spend time. It’s relaxing, quiet, and surrounded by stunning scenery. Looking along the lake directly in front of me, Volcano Arenal points toward the heavens, its cone reaching 5,300 feet. Looking out to the horizon, the light and dark blue of the lake meets the rich pastoral green of hills and fields interspersed with forest.

Hola from Sunny Spain

Greetings from Ronda, Andalucía.
I’m standing almost 400 feet above the canyon floor on the new bridge that connects the old and new part of this ancient city. Of course new is a relative term. Work started on the bridge in 1751. The first attempt fell down. Then the next effort stalled as funds dried up. The bridge was finally completed in 1793.

Three Real Estate Opportunities in this Stunning Pacific Coast Resort

As a member of our little group you will be familiar with Nicaragua’s stunning south Pacific coast and the Rancho Santana community in particular. Today, I’d like to tell you about three opportunities within this community that have just crossed my desk. I wanted to make sure that you hear about these deals first. I’ve also ensured you get a window to make a quick cash offer before these deals hit the streets—you have ten days to make your move.

New Auction Date: Twelve Irish Cottages for $400,000 (That’s $33k Each!)

I recently told you about an opportunity to buy 12 cottages in rural Ireland for $400,000 ($33,000 each). These vacation homes were due to go under the hammer at a firesale auction in Dublin on July 4. However, dramatic protests stopped the Allsop Space property sale from going ahead. A handful of demonstrators, some of whom have lost their homes in the economic downturn—shouted “Ireland is not for sale”. Police were called to the protest and the auction was called off.

Explore Undervalued Real Estate on This Dreamy Island

I’ve arranged a special RETA members-only Chill Weekend to a dreamy island destination with stunning beaches just for you. It’s a place where you will enjoy delicious French and Italian food under palm trees in the tropical sun. You will also see undervalued real estate in a market with good rental potential. You can spend time with other members of our little group—swap stories and pick each other’s brains about property deals over cocktails.

Own a Luxury Caribbean Beach Home for $129,000

There’s a special island on my beat where you will find incredible value in Caribbean real estate. It’s a postcard-perfect destination with white-sand beaches, calm waters and tropical sun. The natural beauty of this island has made it a hotbed for the filming of Hollywood blockbusters. As a member of Real Estate Trend Alert, you could own a piece of this Caribbean lifestyle for $129,000.
