Ronan also shares his key strategies for identifying profit opportunities in some of the most beautiful locations worldwide—by Caribbean, Pacific, and Atlantic beaches, in glamorous European cities, in quaint little mountain towns, or anywhere else that might take your fancy.
Puerto Vallarta—one of Mexico’s most popular expat destinations—is home to an estimated 50,000 North Americans. It has endless beaches, marinas, and a yacht club. But California money helped turn a sleepy, stable market into a crazy mess. In the aftermath, we may find opportunity.
As a member of our little group you will know that something big is happening on Mexico's Riviera Maya. This is a stretch of coast where we have profited over the past five years, and where I expect we will continue to profit with opportunities like this oneat Tao, where we can be $32,500 ahead from the get-go.
As a member of our little group you will know that Costa Rica’s Southern Zone is on my radar. It’s the finest part of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Prices stayed low here because it was difficult to get to.
I'm scouting in my own backyard—Ireland's southwest. In the rolling countryside of the west of Ireland, it's a buyer's market. It may be the final one, as the last of the best bargains from crisis-fueled fire sales are picked up by savvy investors.
Natchi and her husband own the biggest guesthouse in town and business is booming. Wind energy is a big deal in this part of Brazil. When I stayed in their place—midweek during off-season—the place was packed to the rafters with 45 wind-energy workers. This is Icaraí (pronounced ick-areye), the closest town to the nearby wind farms. But sheltered in lush vegetation and right on the empty beach…this certainly doesn’t feel like a frontier energy town. It’s a tropical paradise.
As I told you in my special report on Brazilian beachfront last month, I'm bullish on the opportunity we have in Brazil's charming little beach town of Icarai. But it's not the only opportunity I'm working on along this stretch of coast.
As a member of our little group, you'll be familiar with the situation in Spain and the opportunity we have on the Costa del Sol. I've put boots on the ground here three times in the past nine months. The time to act is now.
If you have preconceptions about the Dominican Republic, put them aside. Most North American tourists head to the all-inclusive resorts of Punta Cana. The opportunity for us is elsewhere—somewhere a beach town pad could be a great earner when you’re not using it.
Mexico's Riviera Maya is a special place, and now you've got an excuse to visit. It's time to book your flight and get boots on the ground to check out the lofts at Tao that I told you about yesterday. Best of all, developer Benjamin Beja will pick up your tab.
Today I'm going to tell you about a new pre-release opportunity at the Tao community in Tulum. Here, at the southern edge of Mexico's Riviera Maya, breezes rustle through palm trees while turquoise waters lap on the finest white-sand beaches on my beat.
