RETA

Real Estate Trend Alert

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.

FLASH ALERT: Save More Than $50,000 on this Luxurious Beach Home

I’ve just got word on a special situation opportunity in the elegant beach town of Las Terrenas for one member of our little group.
This beach town is boutique. It’s free from high-rises and crowds. Development has been tightly restricted. Outside town there are a couple of larger all-inclusive hotels. But, that’s it. Everything else is refined. And it will stay that way.

Make Sure You Get These Property Discounts

As a member of our little insider club you will know that I am constantly working on your behalf, negotiating early-in real estate deals with special pricing and terms in stunning destinations. To help new members (and to remind long-term members) of the significant advantages you enjoy as part of your RETA membership, I’ve put together a table outlining the exclusive discounts and special financing you’re entitled to in what I consider the strongest opportunities in places on the up.

Where to Buy in Costa Rica (Near the Pacific Coast)

I’m writing to tell you about a special opportunity in Costa Rica. My contact on the ground, Steve Linder, has arranged a private members-only trip to the Southern Zone for our little insider group. I’ve visited several times and I’m always struck by the area’s natural beauty. Stretching from the beach town of Dominical to the chic village of Ojochal, the Southern Zone is a rugged wonderland of pristine mountain tops blanketed in lush green rainforest that plummet dramatically toward the deep blue ocean.

Fire Sale on Irish Cottages: 12 for $400,000 (That’s $33k Each!)

As a member of our little group, you will know that Ireland’s economy and real estate market is in deep distress.
Property sales had all but stopped until firesale auctions came to the country in April 2011. After a series of these sales, market clearing prices were set. Sale prices were 50% to 90% less than peak prices. Today, we’re two years on… and you can now buy at prices comparable to these auctions through regular channels.

Boquete: The Best Value in Seven Years

I’ve just returned from my first scouting trip to Panama’s mountain country of Boquete in five years. Back in 2007 to 2008, the market became frothy and prices too high. I stopped visiting until now. This time, my trip threw up some interesting opportunities. The most significant development I noticed in Boquete is how real estate prices are at their lowest in almost a decade. I’m working on some special situation RETA members-only deals there which I will be telling you about in the coming weeks.
