Five Places Where Crisis Investing Can Pay Off Today
“Everyone knows the world is in crisis. Yet I’m looking forward to the New Year…and you should be, too…because you could make some serious money,” writes IL real estate guru Ronan McMahon in this month’s issue of International Living magazine.
From fire sales in Panama to a market meltdown in Ireland, Ronan writes about the best chances you have to make money from crisis investment in 2011.
These aren’t the kind of opportunities that announce themselves. You have to know where to look. Ronan’s traveled to 15 countries in the past 12 months in search of these opportunities and he reveals them here in the December issue of International Living magazine…before most people even know they exist.
Also in this month’s issue, Suzan Haskins reports on a land of beautiful vistas and temperate climates. “We found amazingly-preserved colonial towns, pretty white-sand beaches overlooking the Caribbean Sea, lush rainforests, fertile plains, coffee-growing plantations and what just might be the most modern and cosmopolitan city in Latin America.”
“Mention that you’re going to Colombia,” she writes “and people think you’re crazy. But they haven’t been. My husband Dan and I are just back…and wow…”
Suzan was there to put the finishing touches to our super-detailed Colombia Report: An Insider’s Guide to the Newest Opportunity-Rich Frontier. We’re convinced that this is the hottest emerging destination of the next decade. And having spent time doing the boots-on-the-ground research, so is Suzan. You’ll find her article on page 4 of your December magazine.
Another hot favorite, and one of the friendliest destinations we’ve ever explored, is Ecuador. Every year more and more expats are finding their footing in this beautiful country. So in this month’s magazine, Dan Prescher explains just how easy—and cheap—it is to rent in Quito, the country’s charming highland capital.
“Ecuador is the place to get the most bang for your retirement and second-home buck,” writes Dan. “And where better to get to know the culture and perfect climate of the country’s highlands region than in this thriving city of 1.5 million.”
Beneath white-washed colonial colonnades, ancient wooden doorways open onto tiny shops exuding the mouth-watering scent of fresh-baked bread and ripe fruit. Cobbled-squares fill with clear Andean light, that shines on cathedrals and mansions that were old before the United States became a country. And you can try this life on for size with rents starting at just $220 a month.
We like Quito so much in fact, that we’ve invited 100 experts from all over the world to share their knowledge with you there next February at our Ultimate Event.
