WHAT'S NEXT?  | Critical to any successful real estate investment is the question of timing. Ideally, you want to invest in any real estate market at the right time and in the right place. | Wall Street Journal: "U.S. companies arrive to build power plants and telephone networks, to sell hamburgers and pizza. Foreign investors who were fleeing the country a decade ago put $280 million into Nicaragua last year." | In Nicaragua today there is an opportunity to catch a positive growth trend before the rest of the world catches on - what we call an early-in investment real estate market. |
Nicaragua is in the middle of a boom trend that has seen millions of dollars in infrastructure improvements and foreign investment. For example…
- The first Hard Rock Live in Central America opened recently
- A Taiwanese group bought the InterContinental Hotel in Managua and added a shopping mall and another hotel
- A Guatemalan group invested $8 million in a Princess Hotel. Another Guatemalan group has taken over the run-down Hotel Camino Real, completely refurbished it, and added a convention center
- A New Orleans company recently finalized a deal with the Nicaragua legislature for the rights to run Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua's closest developed port to the U.S. Gulf Coast. The company will spend more than $100 million on improvements, which will cut the cost and time for goods to get to Managua, in some cases by more than half.
The list goes on and on. In short, Nicaragua is on the right track.
Much of the property is held as freehold (fee simple) title and, as of 2006, three major international title insurance companies offer insurance on property in Nicaragua: First American, Stuart Title and Land America.  | In Nicaragua you can run a tourism-related business tax-free for up to 10 years Nicaragua's Law 306 is one of the most attractive, and extensive, tourism-incentive laws in Latin America. | "Suddenly, Managua has a skyline. New hotels and shopping centers--with elevators, and even escalators--have sprouted in a capital flattened by a 1972 earthquake and laid low by failed socialism. Arco gas stations, Pizza Huts, and McDonald's golden arches rise from the gentle hills. Once a live-fire franchise of the Cold War, Nicaragua and other Central American countries have embraced franchise capitalism." Wall Street Journal |
