Five Places for Cheap Beach Property in Latin America

[@Spelsamlarboken]

[@nick101984]

@@pattihonnold9572 yeah I think Andrew doesn't like brazil for some reason. I been to Santa Marta last year. If you like being asked for money by bums every 2 minutes it's a great place. Brazil you don't have that problem the beaches my god are unbelievable! The currency is 5 to 1. The people are thousand times better then say Honduras. You can get a place on a more secluded beach I'm sure for 75K. In Guaruja a world renowned beach and expensive there you get one for 90K. If you go a little off the beaten path I'm sure you get one half that price.

[@kevinvictor911]

yes, i agree. There's a huge bias against Brazil in general. It's most based off stereotyped image and propaganda about the place. Another thing is Brazil is sort isolated in the sense of it's culture and language, it's very different than anywhere else in Latin America and people from the US are more familiar with hispanics.

[@toddklumb7855]

One thing after living in many Latin American beach areas, was the hot, dry climate I found too unpleasant. It took me awhile after being there to realize I would never want to live in and even opt out of visiting a hot, dry and dusty place. It depends on the ocean currents but some beaches are more lush, cooler and find those more pleasant.

[@christopherhouse7937]

Sounds like you might like Ecuador beaches! 🏝 🇪🇨

[@toddklumb7855]

@@christopherhouse7937 I like some of them. They vary depending on the ocean currents and the topography. There are issues living on the beach. I lived in the Galapagos and a few months of the year the beaches were infested with jelly fish, garabage or a bacteria that could make you sick. I prefer the mountains in Ecuador.

[@ScottPaton]

I’ve been to Santa Marta and Cartegna. Prefer SM, but wasn’t my favorite. I spent time on Ecuador’s beaches and was pleasantly surprised. Playa del Villamil is 90 minutes outside of Guayaquill. Continuing up the coast towards Salinas are a lot of awesome beaches. Salinas had nice beaches but wasn’t impressive. Yet continue up the coast to Montañita and Olon and the beaches are beautiful. Sunsets are terrific. Then you mention Roatan and I am there now. Lovely island. Not a lot of beaches. But great food and diving. Laid back. It’s hard to leave this area of the world.

[@kevinblack5909]

I'm engaged to a Columbian. I seriously been considering moving to Santa Marta in next 5 years or so. Thinking about taking some money and buying 3-4 properties on beach and listing them on Airbnb. We're actually flying to Cali Colombia to visit her family in 2 days. We're going to also go and spend 4 days in Santa Marta this week to see how we like it.

You can buy new apartments across the street from the beach in Turkey for around $60-$70 K.

I just invested on three brand new luxury condos by the beach of Reseva do Paiva in Pernambuco state of Brazil. This place is a safety bubble where you can wear a Rolex at night while you walk. The beach is amazing and the infrastructure is all new and well kept. Google: Reserva do Paiva, Cabo Santo Agostinho. The builders are Odebrecht, and Rio Ave. I’ve been around everywhere in Latam and this is definitely my favorite.

[@mars54mars54]

Is Mexican coastal land still an iffy foreign ownership deal requiring a Mexican "partner"?

[@dennishassler605]

Coastal land usually has to be "leased" in a trust, so you have to pay the ongoing fee and even if you become a citizen it's difficult to get out of the fees unless you sell the property. Live 50 miles inland and you can own it directly.

[@guyclone2651]

San Juan del Sur is a nice party/tourist town. I found the countrywide infrastructure in Nicaragua to be somewhat lacking. The east coast is actually more beautiful, but except for the Corn Islands, it's not developed (and perhaps not even civilized). I'm not stuck on the beach. You can always travel to a beach. I want good daily living, and there are many places in Colombia that I think do that better. Medellin is a wonderful place if you like large cities, and there are small pueblos all around it if you prefer to get away from cities. I haven't been to Argentina, but so far I think Colombia offers the best quality of life for me.

Heads up on Santa Marta. I know a tourist who was almost kidnapped there. If safety is a concern, I'd avoid any consideration living there. Cartagena has a very beautiful and safe central city with lots of police, but the beaches in Cartagena city are terrible. You have to go to Playa Blanca nearby which is beautiful but you'll spend the day being harassed by massage girls and have to constantly watch your stuff. Colombia has some great parts to visit, but the beach areas in the north are still sketchy and the governments there are corrupt. However, If you like the mountains and less of a beach person though, highly recommend Medellin which has some great neighborhoods.

I'd be curious to see a video from you on the current status of Switzerland from the perspective of someone with your uniquely extensive knowledge of such things. More specifically as a UK citizen who earns his money from selling digital assets - I _could_ live anywhere (in theory); but as you've mentioned, doing so in Western Europe is a bit of a nightmare, especially if you're looking to work towards second citizenship. Switzerland seemed like a good compromise to me for "low tax" (certainly not 0 tax like some 'pundits' suggest Switzerland is...), but I'm seeing fewer and fewer people suggest it.
