Property hotspots

Real estate activity is not uniform across a country. Some areas stand out as being more attractive to international real estate investors.  We call these "property hotspots" and we’ve identified them in Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica and Belize.

Each hotspot has a different risk/reward profile. Some are early-in opportunities and others are more established real estate areas.  But they all share the following three characteristics that make international property hunters sit up and take notice:

1. The tourists are coming

Tourism is a good predictor of future growth and our hotspots encompass the tourism heartland areas for each country. If tourists go there, it's an area that is likely to have local appeal that will also attract real estate investors. They’re probably also good bets for rental income.

2. Local attractions

Granted our hotspots may not all have golf courses nearby, or glitzy metropolitan living on offer, but all have a good range of local attractions. Most are visually appealing with unique characteristics that make them stand out.

3. Infrastructure improvements

We weren’t able to pick places that are about to host the Olympic Games, but the areas we have chosen are seeing real infrastructure improvements, mostly in the form of roads, telecommunications and utilities.

Property hotspot reviews

We're collecting reviews from people who have visited or invested in one of the property hotspots we've identified.  Why?
