Real Estate Trend Alert
A week ago, 70 of your fellow members and 25 of their guests joined me on the Riviera Maya in Mexico for The Gathering III. This is the locale for our latest profit opportunity.
I’m excited to share something brand new with you: the first edition of your special, RETA¬-exclusive podcast. I call it “Notes From the Field”…and its content is exactly what it sounds like.
“An exotic, offbeat, beautiful and very inexpensive place to stay” that’s how International Living founder, Bill Bonner, described this Caribbean destination in the first issue of International Living magazine in 1981.
This is an alert like none I’ve ever put together. Usually, I’d wait to send you a report like this until your monthly RETA issue. But this deal opens on Saturday so it can’t wait…and you need to have all the details before then.
Nearly 10 years on from when I founded RETA, no real estate deal in Panama City has cut my muster. That is until now… Where is this killer Panama City opportunity? Find out in the September issue of RETA
Earlier this year, Real Estate Trend Alert members and I had a private get-together in Atlanta. One of my Northeast Brazil contacts, Daniel Neves, was there. He had a special deal for RETA members who were in attendance.
Our opportunity at Chame, Panama, is the best beachfront opportunity on my beat. We’re buying in a true beachfront community—right on a pretty beach—less than one hour from a bustling, metropolitan capital city.
Thanks to Portugal’s crisis, a special situation, and Brexit, we can buy a three-bedroom, 1,280-square-foot condo, in Alvor in Portugal’s stunning Algarve, for €153,000 ($179,556). That’s only €120 per square foot. I figure this condo is worth €230,000 ($269,062) retail today.
As a real estate investor, I follow the “big ideas” of investment to find our profit opportunity. Discover my latest insights in the August Issue of RETA.
You should know by now that Playa del Carmen is a tourism machine. It’s one of the best short-term rental locales on my beat. The place TripAdvisor just voted as Mexico’s number one destination. And it’s where more and more mobile people are choosing to base themselves.
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. Although our staff may answer general queries, they are not licensed to address your particular situation. We always recommend strongly that buyers perform their own complete due diligence and use a qualified legal professional to help with any real estate transaction.
