| Real Estate In Croatia
- Real
Estate In Croatia -
Croatia isn’t scheduled for EU membership until 2008, but a feeding frenzy
is under way. Property prices are rising 20% to 30% per annum. Medieval
Dubrovnik—hottest spot on the country’s real estate map—has experienced
such rises in the past six months alone. But when you compared this market
with other European vacation destinations, you realize that this Dalmatian
coastline still has significant growth potential....

Finding a Home In Italy - Finding
a Home In Italy - Local papers also advertise apartments
and houses for rent, but word of mouth is the Italian way. Universities
have message boards where apartments or rooms for rent are commonly posted.
Aimed at students, these often have shorter leases, but can contain some
of the best deals out there. However, if you want something long-term
it’s still worth asking. These same message boards and newspapers
are a great place for you to post an ad for specifically what you are looking
for. Going these routes will get you a cheaper deal, at least cutting
out the cost of the agency.. By Shannon McGrath |

Doug Casey on China, New Zealand and the Rest of the World - Doug
Casey on China, New Zealand and the Rest of the World - Thailand
is actually the safest and surest way to play the boom in China, as well.
As the Chinese middle class grows, they’ll travel. And they’ll pile into
Thailand, as a first choice foreign destination, simply because it’s such
a delightful place. The price of land is going to go much higher. As an
investment, beachfront land here has been a standout, going up about ten
times in the last decade alone. It’s not absolutely cheap any more; an
acre of beachfront on Koh Samui will run about $200,000, minimum. Of course,
that’s still cheap relative to what you pay in Hawaii, or Florida, or California.
And it’s far more desirable, in my opinion. You’ll find the costs of food,
construction, and servants are a tiny fraction of what they would be in
the States. And although you can easily get absolutely anything you want,
the lifestyle is far more laid back. By Doug Casey |

The Buying Game - Buying Real Estate In Brazil - The
Buying Game - Buying Real Estate In Brazil - About a one
and one-half hour drive into the mountains west of Rio de Janeiro is the
town of Teresopolis. Jim and Debbie wrote me to tell me about their $30,000
purchase of an estate consisting of four buildings, a 2 bedroom main house,
a spring fed swimming pool, a vegetable garden, an enclosed tennis court,
and over a dozen varieties of fruit trees. This I had to see for myself.
Jim wasn't exaggerating. Teresopolis was idyllic and he and Debbie had
purchased a gorgeous estate for the price of a tool shed back home.

& Relocation Package - Panamanian
Residency Now ! -
In a hurry to get free? In a hurry for Bona Fide residency in Panama? If
you are sane, you should be looking for alternative residency, while alternative
residency is still an option. Our years of being located in Panama has
taught us that there is one law firm in Panama that provides residency
faster than anyone else in Panama. Their fee is reasonable, their
service proven, and they provide personal attention to your needs. Additional
services can be requested on a case by case basis, such as having an apartment
ready and waiting in Panama, telephone, drivers license, and a wide range
of additional services depending on your aims. Get residency by itself,
or with additional services: you will be able to ask questions and determine
what course of action is most effective for you, including what type of
visa may best suits your needs. Having residency in Panama has no negative
affect your current citizenship. Residency ultimately leads to a Panamanian
Passport, which is respected worldwide. The Panama Passport is the
best Passport in Latin America, The price for additional relocation assistance
is dependent on the services you require but remains reasonable based on
the services given, and the hassles, frustration, and wasted time you will
avoid. If you want residency in the offshore haven of choice we urge
you to act now. |

Hidden Gems: The Sovereign Society Unveils a Treasure-Trove of Value-Play
Shares - In a world where most CEOs hype their company’s
prospects, it’s refreshing to see how the Swiss describe their companies
in the most conservative terms possible. Pilatus Bahn’s CEO, André
Zimmermann, described the 2003 tourism season as being “at a low.” Well,
the number of passengers riding the railroad up to the peak of Pilatus
peak rose 11.8% to 321,457, and revenue from the sale of tickets climbed
12.8% to SFr10.8 million. The hotels, restaurants, and shops on the mountaintop
brought in another SFr5.0 million in revenues, up 12.9% from the previous
year. Despite the increase in business, the company’s costs sank by 2%,
leading to cash flow of SFr3.9 million, up a whopping 50%. The

about living overseas from people who've done it, facts about buying a
barge and sailing down the Danube, what it takes to migrate to Argentina,
how to open a business in Prague, buy an island in Belize, get a job in
Paris, start a farm in Mozambique, run an internet business out of the
Dominican Republic, run a rent-a-scooter shop in Mauritius.
