Private List update

I meet with Untac, my favorite realtor in Cambodia. We talk about market regulations and forms of real estate ownership. Then we discuss the relevant structures foreigners can choose from when they buy real estate (nominee, company creation, property trust). Finally, we mention investment opportunities in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.

I have a discussion with my agent Angelina, who specializes in buying and renovating property on the Greek Island of Lesbos. We do a case study along with two clients who used her services to buy and fully renovate an old house and turn it into a charming lifestyle and investment property with robust net yields.

I meet with Andy, who has established a learning center for children of the expat surfer community of El Zonte in El Salvador. We discuss the shifts in expat schooling needs and behavior, and why new education solutions are needed for itinerant families.

I join Luigi, my Riviera Maya real estate agent, to take a look at how expat families can live an affordable and comfortable life in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We explore the amenities available inside gated communities as well as hospitals and schools for children. We also discuss why many Russians, Central Asians and Canadians are moving to Mexico to take advantage of weather, affordability and interesting residency/citizenship pathways.

I discuss a handful of countries where you can easily rotate your crypto wealth into real estate investments, and where we have trusted partner agents who can help you with the process.

Our Sicily real estate agent Shalise shows us around Southeast Sicily, in the Ragusa area. We explore historical properties and houses that need renovation, and do all the return on investment calculations.
