Several times a year, Ronan arranges special invitations for my Real Estate Trend Alert members to check out the deals he recommends firsthand. All the details are taken care of. You just get your airline ticket and fly in. Somebody who knows the place well — and who Ronan knows and trusts — picks you up, gets you settled, and shows you around.
A Flash Alert is a member-only notification of a special situation. Typically it will be a resale in an established community by a seller who needs out TODAY. I pass on the opportunity to you if the seller offers a killer deal.
I’ve spent the last year making contacts, picking brains and analyzing the numbers. Now I have formed a clear view. And it’s one of a bright future for Colombia. One of a pathway (which will certainly include some bumps) to relative prosperity.
There’s something about buying a property overseas. The purchase process is alien compared to the one back home…you don’t speak the language…and it’s all so exciting and full of possibilities. It’s easy to get caught up in the buying process, and it’s very easy to get carried away. You need to remember that some things stay the same. Don’t leave your common sense at home.
In February I told you that Las Terrenas on the Dominican Republic’s Samana peninsula is a little piece of paradise. Nineteen miles of walkable public beach, palm trees, warm breezes and stars so bright it feels like you could pluck them from the sky. I can’t think of a nicer place to have a beach home. You’ll find your dollars stretch here, too. Particularly with an opportunity like this one…
Greetings from the Greek island of Santorini. I’m coming to the tail end of a two-week trip to Greece. I’ve been reminded how truly stunning her islands are. I’ve also got under the hood of what’s happening on the ground with their politics, economics and real estate market.
There will be many more potential tipping points as Greece’s economy and politics continue to unravel. I won’t be watching the news feed. I’ll be on a flight to Greece for two weeks of serious boots-on-the-ground research. That’s more important than the Angela/Antonis body language.
One member of our little group has the opportunity to lock down a 1.47-acre lot for only $42,000 in the best-in-class project on Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast. The lot listed for $78,000. Now the owner is in a bind back home. He needs to sell fast. The developer has agreed to help facilitate him. That’s why I’m sending you this Flash Alert today.
On Friday I told you about the opportunity to buy a lot at the Jama Campay project on Ecuador’s North Coast. Members of our little group can buy a lot with a starting price of $32,256. With the special member-only finance terms, we can buy this lot with a down payment of $16,128 and monthly payments of $448. But maybe you are looking for something more turnkey?
Ecuador’s nicest 60-mile stretch of coast is now accessible. It’s here, on the best part of this stretch of Pacific Coast, in a “best in class” project, that we can buy a lot from $32,256. This is an “off market” deal—14 lots in this project are only available to members of Real Estate Trend Alert. With the special member-only finance terms, we can buy this lot with a down payment of $16,128 and monthly payments of $448.
