Bargain Real Estate In Europe - Bargain
Real Estate In Europe - What if I told you that you could
buy a two-bedroom house in a major European city for less than $50,000?
And what if I told you that this property was located in the country with
the fastest appreciating real estate market in Europe? Does this
sound too good to be true? I thought so, until I stumbled upon this
wonderful opportunity. By Arin Vahanian |

| Buying Your Own Private
Island in the Philippines – Things To Consider - Buying
Your Own Private Island in the Philippines -
If you thought that owning your own island was just a dream, then how would
you like to own your own island, located just 1 hour from an airport for
under US$100,000? Then come to Palawan! Palawan has 1,781 islands,
a full 1/3 of the Philippines 7,017 islands, which are arguably the last
set of "undiscovered" islands in the world. They are pristine gems, still
isolated from the tourist hordes, a limited commodity. And that makes them
valuable...

Rio de Janeiro / Buzios - A
Month To Buy a House In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ...and The Good Life In
Buzios - Juliana
at MR IMOVEIS handled all the investigation and negotiations for me. I
also asked her to find out what the deal was with the kioski’s on the beach.
A resident can actually buy the 12x24ft beach building from the city starting
at R$ 33,000. An established one in Ipanema was offered to me by the owner
for R$ 90,000, must be gringo price. I placed a deposit on the house and
obtained the application to purchase one of the vacant kiosks in Barra,
(there are no vacant ones anywhere else). I was then instructed to set
up a bank account in Rio to facilitate the deal. In Brasil you have to
deposit the full purchase price in a bank at the time the seller delivers
the good title to the real estate to the same bank. Everyone waits about
a month then the money is given to the seller, minus the 2% government
transfer tax and the new title is given to the buyer. By Romel Fajardo |

- You Can Finance Your Foreign Property Investment …Sometimes - Financing
Your Foreign Property Investment -
Can you borrow abroad to buy property? This is one of the questions we
are most frequently asked. Does financing exist in the countries we recommend?
If so, who offers it, and on what terms? How complicated is it for a non-resident
to qualify? In the emerging markets of Central and South America, for example,
bank financing can be unheard-of. Individual developers may offer financing—though
probably not on terms you’d be interested in. In these markets, your recourse
typically is to borrow at home and bring the money with you. by Lynn

Croatia - The Yachtsman’s Haven - Residency
- Real Estate & Yachting on The Dalmatian Coast Of Croatia- Very
often, companies and private individuals enjoy major advantages and legal
tax savings by registering their yachts in an appropriate jurisdiction,
providing confidentiality and the protection and privileges offered by
such registration. With registration of the yacht in an appropriate jurisdiction
and mooring of the yacht outside the EU in Croatia, one can enjoy one of
the most beautiful coasts in Europe, have easy access to the EU if desired
and operate the yacht in a most tax-efficient environment. By Henley

Real
Estate In Tasmania - The Land Under The Land Down-Under - Real
Estate In Tasmania - Real estate bargains and favourable business
opportunities are not the only reasons expats are flocking to the land
of “no worries.” Tasmanians are the happiest Australians - and why
wouldn’t they be. They enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle, four
seasons of weather (some days you get all four in one), lots of space,
zero “rush hours” and they are genuinely relaxed. A Tasmanian will
take the time to look you in the eye and engage in conversation.
It’s their friendly, welcoming way. Old fashioned, charming. When
was the last time you caught up with your neighbour for a conversation
in the middle of main street or in the corner grocery store? By
Dee Farrell

The Dream - Real Estate In Costa del Sol - Real
Estate In Costa del Sol - Spain is a good choice for
making that new life for many reasons, but the people are in a class of
their own. In our experience, they are a very honest, caring and trusting
race. They look upon the Foreigner with respect and understand that without
tourism their standard of living would be less than standard. By Jan

Buying Land In The South Of Chile - What You Might Find - Buying
Land In The South Of Chile - We
settled on 2 and a half hectares on Lake Espolon which is about 7 acres.
I bought 660 meters of lakefront on Lake Espolon that is as spectacular
as any I've ever seen for $14,000. I'm having a beautiful two-story home
built, a fireplace and all for $20,000. I'm sure there will be some other
costs in there by the time its done in October. But a place like that in
Montana where I live would cost $500,000 or more so I'm not to worried
about the details. By Bill Lanphar |

Notes
On New Zealand Real Estate - Notes
On New Zealand Real Estate - I
would like to mention a few things that anyone interested in looking at
property in NZ should be aware of. If you buy anything in a foreign country
with the idea of selling it at a profit keep in mind that you are speculating
that the currency fluctuation will not be a negative. The NZ Dollar is
rather strong now in comparison with historical levels.

Expat
Living - How
One Physician- Entrepreneur “Retired” Offshore and Built a Second Career
- An Interview with Dr. W.C. Douglass - "Not
long after I retired, I decided to see if there were other places to live
that offered more freedom, and less “big brother,” than the United States.
I spent a year in St. Petersburg, Russia, doing research on “light therapy,”
a cheap and effective technology for treating infections that’s been brutally
suppressed in the United States. I also lived in Finland, Spain and Turkey
before arriving two years ago in Panama." - From the best of The Sovereign

Make
Money Overseas - Writing eBooks For EscapeArtist.com - Write
eBooks for Profit - What we're looking for are ideas, not
Pulitzer Prize writers. Ideas are what fuel our magazine and our website.
Now we want to expand that concept into eBooks for expats. You don't
have to be a professional writer to submit a report that provides important
information - - information that you yourself have learned by having been
there and done it. That is exactly what our readers are seeking, facts
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.
