“Pioneer Investing” is one of my favorite ways to cash in on global real estate profits. Usually, this is a way to buy before an apparently isolated region is opened up to everyone else. In other words, before a massive infrastructure spend is made by the government.
This is the list of infrastructure projects I was sent from the Governor of Ceara’s office in Brazil.
If you haven’t yet taken advantage of our all expenses paid trip to Mexico’s Riviera Maya, I urge you to act fast–prices here have already increased, and are due to go up again in 8 days.
As I suspected, it was confirmed last week that Fortaleza will be one of the host cities for the World Cup soccer tournament in Brazil in 2014. We’ll benefit from this in three ways.

Through his company (Torcana), Colin offers these opportunities discretely to his clients. This is what’s know in the trade as an “off market” deal, i.e. deals that will never be publically advertised. Here’s what we discussed.

In March I told you about an exciting opportunity in the Gran Bahia Principe Resort on Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Today, I’m passing on an all-expenses-paid invite to visit the property for a weekend. This is the same invitation I personally received when developer Benjamin Beja first offered to show me the development. In other words, most visitors won’t receive this level of attention.
