Happy New Year! My scouting schedule has been packed over the past number of months. Now that research and contact cultivation is coming to fruition. And you will start seeing fresh opportunities in these alerts in the coming months...
Last year, 17.5 million people flew through Cancun airport. Thirty minutes south, Playa del Carmen was for a time the world's fastest-growing city (based on annual percentage population growth). And we know the Path of Progress is heading like a juggernaut for the town of Tulum. But where is the next place? What does the next decade hold for us in this region?
Here's an invitation I strongly urge you to take up. It's time to book your flight and check out the Tao community you have been hearing about in these alerts. Best of all, developer Benjamin Beja will pick up your tab. On February 4–7, a small group of Real Estate Trend Alert members will be hosted at Tao. You'll check out this opportunity, and experience the ''Tao Life'' firsthand. The ''Tao Life'' is the experience of spending time there.
The Tao Ocean Residences, which I've told you about in these alerts, are perfect for this rental market. And you can take 6% off the price of one—that's a discount of more than $27,000—right now.

I recently got an email from a fellow member who had locked down one of these little condos. He chose a ground-floor condo that faces onto the golf course just like the two condos I locked down.

Geoffrey came to the Gathering with a hot-off-the-presses opportunity. The back story is the familiar formula for the type of opportunity I like: The developer built condos in a prime locale west of Marbella before the crash hit. By the time construction was completed, there was no market. Nothing happened…until right now, that is.
I thought ours was a very brief window in jet-set Cabo on the southernmost tip of the Baja California peninsula. One in which we could buy luxury cheaply, and profit. But 10 months and three research trips later, I see that something much bigger is happening…as I explain in this special edition of Real Estate Trend Alert
As I've told you in my reports this year, our buying moment in the Algarve is now—and you can see this opportunity for yourself this February 18–21 on our Real Estate Trend Alert members-only scouting trip.
Members have done well from our strategy of buying early-in in best-in-class projects on Mexico's Riviera Maya… And opportunity still knocks.
