Private List update

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.

I bought East Africa’s highest residential penthouse in the heart of Nairobi, Kenya’s premium Westlands neighborhood. Along with my real estate agent Pratik and representatives of the Chinese developer behind the project, we detail why Nairobi is growing as the primary business hub of Africa. We explain why Chinese-built real estate is improving in quality, and assess why even after factoring in the risks, this purchase represents a unique asset with solid value.

I join Swen Lorenz on group excursion to the island of Sark in the English Channel to explore different aspects of life in this Crown dependency with a population of just 562 people. We highlight the challenges the island faces due to population decline, and why it struggles to attract new residents despite very compelling tax benefits.

I join my Hungarian real estate agent Benedek to explore a couple of properties outside of Budapest in smaller towns along the Danube. Such real estate offers interesting lifestyle benefits for those seeking a relaxed vibe, access to nature and the charm of a Central European town. Unlike Budapest, these properties also offer the potential to do Airbnb.
