| North
East of Brazil for Retirement and Real Estate Investment |
| - The Northeast
of Brazil found its avocation: to be the tropical paradise where Europeans
spend and invest their euros. Portuguese, Spaniards, French, Italians,
Germans and Scandinavian are invading the region to do business, spend
holidays or enjoy their retirement in a place with pleasant climate and
at prices much more affordable than those in Europe. |

| A
Whole New Kind of Real Estate |
| -
I have been writing about Real Estate in Greece for some years now. I spent
some time working in Real Estate in England, before I moved permanently
to Greece twelve years ago. I have also researched and co written a book
about buying a home in Greece. So why, after five or six years of searching
the properties listed by Real Estate agents in Corfu, have I still not
bought one? The question is more complex than you would think. Let me explain. |

In Costa Rica, as in most other regions, everyone can benefit from having
an Environmental Evaluation done on your property, or one you are considering
to purchase. Whether you do it for your own use or as part of a governmental
requirement, this is a valuable tool for your project. |

| Real
Estate in Monaco |
| - While Monaco
enjoys the attention of the world's media for one weekend every May, she
also attracts many people long term to become residents due to her tax
haven status, and residents enjoy a zero rated income tax. In recent years
Monaco has attracted the wealthy for another visit. The annual Monaco Yacht
Show in September has the most exclusive yachts in the world moor at the
harbour in Fontvieille, and the hotels in Monte Carlo and Monaco are booked
full nearly a year in advance. |

| Off
Plans Delivery in Spain |
| -
The dismantling of a builder’s crane – which some now say is now the national
bird of Spain – is a fairly new sight on Spain’s Costas del Sol or Blanca.
For many, it signifies an important step on the road to obtaining the keys
to their new property. It implies that the “off plan” property, reserved
up to two or more years ago, is approaching “delivery”. |

| Taxing
the World |
| -
Longtime readers will know where we stand on the subject of taxes. They
are theft, just like anything else that coerces you out of your hard-earned
money at the point of a gun. True, it is part of the social compact that
we put up with a certain amount of taxation in order to pay for government
services that we want. But—without getting into any discussion of the “necessity”
of most government services, not to mention pure pork barrel spending—this
does not in any way change the nature of the transaction. It’s still theft. |

Later. Let’s take a closer look at each one of them. |

| The
Pros and Cons of Off Plan Property Investment |
| -
Because stock markets around the world have lost a lot of their appeal,
the excess money in people’s coffers has been ploughing into international
real estate at a rate never previously experienced. As a direct result
of this intense interest in overseas property the demand for real estate
in many locations such as Dubai and Spain is outstripping supply by up
to 75%. |

brother wants to track you on the Internet. Thanks to The New York Times,
we now know that the NSA is illegally screening virtually all Internet

| Return
to Guatemala—now safe and affordable for tourists |
| -
In today’s Guatemala, you can have a great time and maybe find a great
buy on a piece of beachfront property or an old Spanish-colonial house—if
you exercise due caution. The future looks bright for the country
that is home to the Mayas—a people whose civilization has endured far worse
than its recent misfortunes. But we won’t mislead you. The country’s
reputation as unsafe is not entirely undeserved. |
