There is one clear way to do well in the Dominican Republic’s beach town of Las Terrenas—buy an unloved or unused property in the center of the town and add value by sprucing it up, then rent it out.
In Costa Rica's Southern Zone, you'll find waterfalls, wildlife, and amazing landscapes. It's a beautiful location. Thick, green forest covers jagged mountain peaks that roll down to a coastline of tan-sand beaches.
The rental market for condos on the Riviera Maya is strong. And the rental market for a bigger home might just be even stronger as new supply fails to keep up with fast-growing demand in this area.
If Mexico's stunning Riviera Maya has been on your radar, you need to pay attention.
The best play right now in Arenal—Costa Rica's lake district—is to lock down a property where the seller is motivated, thanks to a phenomenon known as the seven-year itch.
I’m planning my next trip to dreamy Las Terrenas. For the past five years my recommendation for the best way to play this market is to buy an unloved resale in the heart of town and to add value by freshening it up.
“I’d love you to visit,” my contact said. “But please, not at this time of year. Can you leave it a few months? I might be able to find a place for you in late March. But anything before then just won’t work.
Just last month, I got back from my first scouting trip in Placencia, Belize. I’ve been in this wonderful country before. But I hadn’t made the time to travel south to this small Caribbean peninsula.
Next month, I'll be heading to Nicaragua for my latest scouting trip. I'm considering tacking on a few days in Costa Rica at the end of that trip—I'm always researching opportunities there and keeping an eye out for deals.
Last month I spent 10 days in Fortaleza and Northeast Brazil running the rule over our opportunity there. I'm more bullish now than before. So much so that I have just made a significant investment. And one Real Estate Trend Alert member can profit from a similar strategy, thanks to a deal that just crossed my desk—a chance for one member to buy a ready-made rental business in Fortaleza.
