In today’s Alert, I’m going to show you three ways to make money from farmland in an investor-friendly country.
The case for investing in agriculture and food is pretty straightforward. Increasing populations and wealth in emerging economies is the primary driver. As people in these economies become richer they eat more food—and more meat.
Daniel Neves has put together projections for Cidade Nova, the fourteen house project he started. This model and these numbers are scalable. View Cidade Nova’s project estimates here.
There’s a big opportunity to provide housing to Brazil’s new middle classes. One of my contacts on the ground there, Daniel Neves, is doing his own small project.
Today, you have a second chance to lock down a five-acre lot in Tulum with monthly payments of $500.
I’ve just returned from a scouting trip to Roatan—the largest of Honduras’ Bay Islands. When I arrived on Roatan, I found was an island where everything had changed…and yet nothing had changed. Let me explain..
Brazil has energy, food, water and manufacturing resources in abundance. It is emerging as one of the world’s economic powerhouses. Wealth has been created and living standards have improved. Brazil is now defined as a “middle class” country with 53% of the population falling into this bracket. This new middle class wants to move into a shiny new condo or house. They will want to be near infrastructure that will bring them to work and play.
I am bullish on pockets of opportunity in stable, secure, and first-world Uruguay. These two plays converge along a little-known stretch of coast. Here, you will find Uruguay’s best beaches and beachfront land can be found for as little as $1 per meter or $4,050 per acre.
You know how bullish I am on Tulum. A major Mexican government plan is targeting this area of Caribbean coast for the development of high-end boutique tourism. RETA members have got in early at special pre-release pricing and terms. Today, I’m writing to you about a new and different opportunity.
I’ve just returned from a seven-day scouting trip to Ecuador’s finest stretch of coast. Here, virgin forest covers dramatic hills. The beaches extend ribbon-like along the seashore—pristine, empty, and beautiful. This time of year the foliage is lush and green…almost luminous. The water is clear and blue. In parts…when the sun hits it in a certain way it almost looks turquoise. In other parts lone surfers have miles of beach and awesome surf breaks to themselves.
On January 27th this year I told you about developer Benjamin Beja’s plans for a new community on Mexico’s Riviera Maya. At International Living’s recent Ultimate Event, Benjamin shared his vision with members of our little group in person at our private investors meeting. We were the first to hear. Next week we will be the first to see. Benjamin has invited us to come and see the site and his plans first-hand.
