Belize Real Estate Discovery Trips with The Real Estate Guys™ (2024)

Why Belize?

Three words: Location, Location, Location(we’ve heard those are important for real estate). And when it comes to Belize real estate investing, there are three other words:Timing, Timing, Timing.

Ambergris Caye Belize has been namedthe #1 island in the worldTWICE byTrip Advisor.

Belize is the former British Honduras and is located just under Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Mainland Belize features lush green tropical rain forests, while it’s Eastern border faces the Caribbean ocean and is safely nestled behind the world’s 2nd largest barrier reef.

The islands are postcard perfect and attract vacationers, diving enthusiasts and celebrities alike.Harrison Ford,Reese WitherspoonandBill Gatesare known to visit Belize for private, relaxing getaways.Leonardo DiCapriopurchased a 110 acre island known as Blackadore Caye, so his love for the countryled to a major Belize real estate investment.

On our 2012 Investor Summit at Sea™, we helped our friendsRobert and Kim Kiyosakidiscover enchanting Belize and Robert described it as “spectacular”. He was in awe that a place like this still existed. Belize has that effect on even very experienced travelers like Robert and Kim.

But beyond beautiful, Belize real estate has other unique attributes which make it attractive to investors and tourists alike.

Belize is the ONLY country in Latin America whose official language is English. This, and the fact that its currency is pegged at a fixed 2:1 exchange rate with the U.S. dollar, make it a friendly place for Americans. Plus there are direct flights from several U.S. cities including Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Houston and many others. For most Americans, Canadians and Europeans, Belize is actually closer than Hawaii!

The Real Estate Guys™will show you Belize!

Robert Helms and his team have been visiting and investing in Belize real estate for several years. He’s led several discovery trips with as few as one couple and as many as 110 Summiteers. Thefeedbackon every trip has been over the top positive! Robert will share his extensive market knowledge, and personally show you around. Plus, he’ll introduce you to his personal network of local market experts.

This is an EDUCATIONAL event.This is not one of those “fly n’ buy” sales trips where aggressive salespeople are waiting to pounce on you. We believe the right approach to real estate is to start with the market first, then build a team, and then select properties that meet your personal and investment goals. This trip is about exploring the market and meeting people who may become part of your team down the road.

The Opportunity is Now

There are lots of reasons to like a place like Belize(is there any other place like Belize?), butthe opportunity today is better than ever!Americans haven’t lost purchasing power in Belize because of the fixed exchange rate, while many other countries have gained purchasing power because of a soft U.S. dollar. Baby boomers in the U.S. still dream of warm weather, low tax, beautiful places to resort and retire, but many of the more established areas remain relatively expensive in a post recession economy.

Belize offers anEnglish speaking,affordable, “non-touristy”, and reasonablynearbyalternative. And popular TV shows likeHouse Hunters Internationalare helping a growing number of people discover Belize as a great option not just for retirement, but also full-time residency for a growing new class of telecommuters and independent information workers. Think about it:would you rather sit in a corporate cubicle in Cleveland or a beautiful beach in Belize?

Additionally, Belize still enjoys a great reputation as atax friendly jurisdictionwithstrong privacy bankingandasset protectionlaws. As citizens of “developed” countries face increasing concerns about privacy, taxes and frivolous litigation, the affluent are seeking off-shore alternatives in greater numbers than ever.

All of these trends point to increasing demand in Belize real estate, but the wave is still growing. Alert investors can position themselves in the market to provide the properties that tourists, retirees, remote workers and ex-pats will want to buy or rent. Besides, if the worst thing that happens is that you have to live or use your property for personal use, would you rather it be a duplex in Detroit or bungalow in Belize? Meanwhile (check with your own tax advisor), once you have investments in Belize real estate, your trips to visit just might be tax deductible. Very cool.
