Private List update

I visit a development in Nairobi offering newly built, entry-level apartments starting at $17,000 USD for a studio, or about $25,000 for a two-bedroom unit. I explain why I would not invest in this project despite it being so cheap and also likely being a good investment. I also visit the construction site of some off-plan apartments that I purchased in the Westlands neighborhood last year to check on the progress, and have some interesting conversations with the Chinese developer and others about day to day living and operating in Kenya.

Join us September 13-16 2026 in Panama City, Panama for our live event.

I join Peter Square Meter, an expert in the Kotor Bay real estate, to examine several land plots in the Luštica Peninsula region around the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. We dig into land costs, construction and permitting costs and other factors to consider when building new real estate in coastal Montenegro.

I join my Sicily buyer’s agent Shalise to explore an entire village for sale in the hills around the city of Ragusa.

I join Roman, my El Salvador real estate agent, to explore some interesting pockets of real estate and land in the lush mountains of El Salvador. We visit a development on a coffee and avocado farm suitable for building retirement and vacation homes, as well as a country club with a golf course and other amenities where lots are available for low-density development.

I join Benedek, my property buyer’s agent in Hungary, to explore little known neighborhoods in the periphery of Budapest. While many people fixate on the more central, touristic areas of the city, these outer districts offer tranquility, value and an authentic Hungarian vibe. Benedek also shares some current insights on the state of the property market in Budapest and explains why investors should focus on capital appreciation plays instead of yield.
