SECTION ONE - EXOTIC REAL ESTATE  Real Estate in Taiwan - The Possibility for Increasing Land Values in Taitung By John Zhang Real Estate in Taiwan - The Possibility for Increasing Land Values in Taitung - Evaluating the wisdom of acquiring property in Taitung at the current remarkable bargains requires one to understand that Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) are moving closer and closer to the day when direct air links will be a regular part of daily life.   Looking for Property in Chile’s Central Region By Matt Ridgway Looking for Property in Chile’s Central Region - Property values in this area are still a bargain when compared to ‘back home’. And it’s important to understand that values will almost certainly hold and increase due to the area’s proximity to around 40% of Chile’s population in Santiago, Valparaiso and Viña de Mar. Second homes within weekend driving distance are in demand from the booming middle class that lives in these cities.   Real Estate in Nicaragua Las Fincas de Escamequita Real Estate in Nicaragua - About 5 miles south of San Juan del Sur- Nicaragua’s most popular beach destination- lies a development that could impact Nicaragua like no other.    Americans Finding Croatia By Paulla Ufferheide Americans Finding Croatia - We flew into Dubrovnik airport late in the afternoon.  By the time we got our car we approached the city soon after sunset.  Coming in from the hills, we could see the necklace of blue lights just illuminating the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’.  After checking in, we set off down the creamy white polished streets in search of some recommended restaurants.    Confessions of a Serial Renovator By Kathie Peddicord Confessions of a Serial Renovator - In the past eight years, we've managed 11 renovation projects in six countries. In three cases, we identified the projects as "total gut jobs" from the outset. Looking back, though, now that the last tiles have been laid and the final floorboards placed, I'd say you could safely use that phrase to describe nearly every one of these undertakings.   The Who’s Who In Italian Real Estate Transactions By Bryan Schneider The Who’s Who In Italian Real Estate Transactions - So, just who is involved in Italian real estate transactions, anyway?   The process of searching for, inspecting, financing, restoring and completing the purchase of your property can be a bit confusing even in your home country. It can be even more so in a country with an unfamiliar language, customs and laws governing the purchase process.   Advice to Foreigners Wanting to Buy a Condo in Thailand By Marc Holt Advice to Foreigners Wanting to Buy a Condo in Thailand - A good rule of thumb to follow when looking for a condo to buy: It is better to buy the worst condo in a quality building, than the best condo in a poorly maintained building.   Retire on a White Sand Beach  By Jim Welch Retire on a White Sand Beach - Ever ponder the idea that you might retire on a white sandy beach island in the Pacific? You may be thinking to yourself, “In order to travel half way around the world one would need a little more than just a retirement income.  How a person of moderate or limited can means, travel to and live for an extended period of time in another country?  It can be done, “believe me”!    International Real Estate Marketplace Featured Listings International Properties With Color Photos International Real Estate Marketplace Featured Listings - See this month's featured real estate listings - Real estate in New Zealand, Chile, Brazil, Croatia, Panama, Belize, Costa Rica, and from around the world.

Half way along the curved necklace of islands comprising the Windward Islands of the Eastern Caribbean basks a mountainous rock of 290 sq miles (750 sq km).  At longitude 61º 20W, and latitude 15º 25N, Dominica is a land of steep mountains and cliffs plummeting straight into the blue Caribbean sea on the western side and the grey Atlantic on the eastern.  Rising at the highest point to Mt. Diablotin at 4,747 ft. (1,447m), this is a country of raw beauty, rugged headlands and moody mountains, their peaks often buried in cloud - Click Here for details on living in Dominica - INTERNATIONAL REPORTS ON OVERSEAS RELOCATION The author of this No-Nonsense Expats Guide to Asian Sales and Marketing has spent more than 25 years in China trade and Asian sales and marketing generally, and is based in Kuala Lumpur where he has been for 7 years now. He has set up a number of American and European companies out there, and has had great success at doing it, so what he has to say will be of interest to anyone who has an interest in entering the Asian market. He focuses on the day-to-day aspects of running a foreign office from a Stateside or European location, how to handle business meetings, establish distribution channels, deal with "entertainment" and the inescapable phenomenon of the bribe. This report is a compliation of 20 years of first hand experience. Privacy - Your most important possession - They've Declared War  on Your Wealth & Your Privacy  ..and You Could be the Next Innocent Victim! - The Privacy Report - Regain Lost Privacy With The Lifeboat Strategy - Mark Nestmann was one of the people whose work I consulted when writing the book version of Escape From America. The ongoing erosion of privacy in the United States is the most important issue facing Americans today.  Without privacy, we have nothing, or less than nothing. Privacy is a human imperative because privacy of self is an important biological necessity of a sane and stable sense of self. It is a scientific fact that a rational person cannot have their autonomous sense of self (their sense of privacy of self,) compromised and still function as a healthy individual.  Thinking and creativity require the capacity to make independent judgments, an invasion of our privacy such as that going on in America today violates that capacity. It is more than important to reclaim our privacy, it is a biological necessity. Those who want to know about privacy and how to regain it turn to Mark Nestmann; he is the authority on issues of privacy, and he has a wide range of solutions to our loss of privacy problems.

Choose the Private Banking Services that are Just Right for You   By Robert Bauman, JD Choose the Private Banking Services that are Just Right for You - The term "private banking" is becoming so overused that it's lost some of the exclusivity that was once attached to the intensely secret dealings between a banker and his wealthy clients.  . Regain Lost Privacy With The Lifeboat Strategy -Identity Thieves, Greedy Lawyers & The U.S. Government - They've Declared War on Your Wealth & Your Privacy ..and You Could be the Next Innocent Victim! YOU CAN'T BE INNOCENT... THE COMPUTER FOUND YOU GUILTY!  Your bank or broker will never tell you, but every financial transaction you conduct--deposits, withdrawals, credit card, currency conversion through a US bank or broker-- helps create a financial profile of YOU. And the software these computers used are programmed to identify suspicious transactions. If your account activity is deemed suspicious, you'll never know until your cash is frozen or you're arrested, because US law now makes it a crime to tell you if you're under suspicion. One mistake--withdrawing too much cash, writing a check to the "wrong" person, etc.--and you could be the next faceless victim.  But you can still legally create international "lifeboats" of wealth and privacy that are practically invulnerable to snooping or confiscation. In a moment, I'll show you how. And, I'll also show you six simple steps you can take to protect your wealth and privacy, starting today  However, first I need to give you the bad news . . .  .
