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.

join Scott Osheroff to discuss the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz and the impact high energy prices will have on currency, equity and commodities markets. We explore why markets are not reacting as expected as well as the ripple effects of this crisis that will soon be felt across both emerging and developed markets.

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.

I compare the investment and business environments of Thailand and Cambodia to show why Cambodia is a more compelling place to do business these days. Cambodia offers several distinct advantages over Thailand when it comes to managing companies and cash flows, in addition to being much earlier in its economic development lifecycle.
