Live and Prosper in Nicaragua

 

Dear Oxford Club Reader,

You must see this for yourself!

Nicaragua is starting to boom. Tourism is growing and development is taking off like never before.

Nicaragua

You can leverage International Living’s quarter of a century of international experience and serious research to cash in on what may be the most potentially profitable and beautiful place in the Americas to prosper today… Nicaragua.

This August 16-18, 2006, we've invited the most experienced and connected Nicaraguan experts to help you. You’ll meet leading authorities in Nicaraguan real estate, banking, development, and legalities. Plus you'll meet expatriates living and prospering there already. You’ll have a great time. And you'll find out everything that you need to know about this fast-growing land of opportunity. Plus if you reserve your spot today, you can save up to $250!

Nicaragua is today's land of opportunity. There's no one who can show you the opportunities available like International Living. We were the first to identify the potential in Nicaragua for the North American market. We've helped hundreds of our readers take advantage of this special situation. Now we are taking it to another level. We want to personally show you the potential in "The Heart of Central America".

We’ll introduce you to the best opportunities available in this Central American paradise today. Plus you’ll meet and talk with the people behind these deals. You’ll learn practical and profitable strategies to take advantage of these opportunities immediately. Nicaragua's time has come. And now is the time for you to discover it for yourself and prepare to prosper in the days ahead. 

Cycles, Booms, Busts and Crises... And Finding Global Real Estate Bargains

At International Living, we watch for cycles... for booms, busts and crises.

Over 10 years ago, we identified extreme value in Nicaragua. Nicaragua was bust! Some people said we were crazy. Others even canceled their subscriptions. Our critics weren’t completely irrational. But Nicaragua then attracted only adventure seekers and savvy speculators. It was risky. Who could know what would happen.

But that was then. And this is NOW!

After over a decade, Nicaragua remains one of the cheapest places in Latin America to buy beautiful waterfront property in the world. But the days of it being a risky speculation are long over.

Nicaragua is well along the road to economic reform, peace, and prosperity. Though in the mainstream, misconceptions persist, but that only increases the opportunity for you. However... that misperception is fading fast.

Recently glowing reports of the opportunity this country offers you (not to mention the beautiful landscapes) have been featured in big-name mainstream media. The New York Times reported on “The Fall and Rise of Granada, Nicaragua,” introducing all America to the charms of our longtime favorite colonial city.

A recent issue of Money magazine recommended Nicaragua as a fantastic bargain tourist destination. Money wrote, "I hear it's like Costa Rica 20 years ago.  Is that good? Yes. Nicaragua shares Costa Rica's natural beauty, from volcanoes to cloud forests, but it's less crowded than its trendy neighbor."

With all the press that Nicaragua is receiving now, the tourists are headed there in ever-bigger numbers. Developments are springing up everywhere. There's a positive buzz in the air for the first time ever about Nicaragua.

Right now, property here costs about 1/3 of what you'd pay for something comparable not far south in Costa Rica. And, I have to say, I much prefer unspoiled Nicaragua to tourist-trodden Costa Rica. In fact, a large part of the buying pressure in Nicaragua now comes from expats who’ve been living in Costa Rica for years… and now find that Nicaragua offers them so much more of what they want… less of what they hate… and all at a far better price.

Yes, Nicaragua is still cheap. But that’s not why I love it. I love Nicaragua because it’s beautiful, exciting… and profitable. But the window of opportunity is closing.

Nicaragua's Opportunities Are Still On The Table

Nicaraguan Beach

Nicaragua remains a land of opportunity…a frontier…a place of pure potential. This potential attracted us a decade ago. This potential keeps us returning year after year since…and now we are seeing this potential being realized.

Since we first bought in Nicaragua 7 years ago, land values have tripled or quadrupled and in some instances, increased five-and six-fold. And we’ve still got a long way to go in the right direction.

The Pacific coast of Nicaragua is a quiet, untouched coastline with miles of inlets and coves, rocky drop-offs, and long stretches of sand and surf. It reminds me of California before it was settled and developed. In fact, some people are starting to call it the Nicaraguan Riviera. I don't know. It might be a bit early for that. There's not much that looks like the Riviera yet, but change is coming quickly!

Nicaragua: The Land of Misconceptions!

“As long as Americans think of Nicaragua as ‘Russia with palm trees’, it will be a great place to thrive...”
Dr. Steve Sjuggerud -- Chairman, Investment U

For most Americans, Nicaragua conjures up vague bloody images of revolutionary Sandinistas and U.S.-backed Contras at war. When you say “Nicaragua” most people think “Dangerous!” But they couldn’t be blinder to the reality or more misled. Statistics show it's the safest country in Central America: safer than even Costa Rica.

Today, Nicaragua is a peaceful paradise well along its road to recovery from the troubles of the 1980s. It’s one of the friendliest, most beautiful, and most exotic places in the Americas.

How much longer will the misconceptions continue? Not much - but at the moment, this wrong-headed thinking still offers you an incredible advantage. But the time to act is now.

The Opportunity is Yours to Take

Real InterContinental Metrocentro Managua Hotel

It’s no accident that we are hosting our conference at the beautiful Real InterContinental Metrocentro Managua Hotel. The hotel is a first rate affair. The marble columns in the lobby draw your eye up to high, elegantly arched ceilings. The guest rooms are all well appointed with rich fabrics and high-end fixtures and amenities.

Situated in the heart of the commercial and business district, the Real InterContinental Metrocentro Managua is adjacent to a large modern shopping mall and close to cultural centers. (To see the place for yourself, click here to take the photo tour)

Managua is a city transformed… an increasingly modern metropolis with highways and shopping malls… but one that still maintains a warm, colonial feel.  On the stately Plaza de la Republica, a cathedral, Presidential Palace, and Cultural Building stand as excellent examples of curved and detailed Spanish-style architecture. 

Managua

On Carretera Masaya, the highway heading south from Managua, a new Plaza Familiar strip mall has appeared, with--among other things--a gourmet coffee shop, a Sushi Itto franchise, a nightclub and a bank.  Short distance away there is a full-scale, large shopping mall called Galeria, with anchor stores and a cinema. Immediately behind the shopping mall is a brand-new La Colonia superstore (it's a big grocery store with a deli, bakery, lunch area, fresh produce, and lots of U.S. brand-name stuff...even Haagen Dazs). 

The International Herald Tribune recently compared Nicaragua’s coast (favorably) with that of Malibu. In the past month, we’ve been contacted by three journalists on assignment for big-name publications… wanting to interview us for an article on the coming boom in this country.

Granada

Ah, yes…the world is catching on. And if you haven’t positioned yourself in this market already, you’re running out of time…

It’s not only Managua that’s enjoying a rebirth. Everywhere you travel in this country, you see new roads, wider roads, paved roads. New bridges. Gas stations with 24-hour convenience stores attached. New international franchises. Granada today boasts a top-drawer hotel (La Gran Francia), a handful of restaurants worth writing home about, a tapas bar, a day spa, and a new nightclub.

Cruise ships dock regularly at San Juan del Sur on the country’s south Pacific coast. The country has opened it’s first-ever tourist office in the United States, on the streets of downtown Miami. The office operates a toll-free number for the U.S. and Canada. That may not sound like much. But here, it is!

The country’s hard work to expand its tourist trade is paying off. Early investors have paved the way for even more investment, growth, and tourism. Early property owners are seeing massive gains in value.

The Most Investment Friendly Country in the Americas

As The Wall Street Journal recently reported… "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."

The paper continued: "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."

This development is good news for Nicaragua of course… but I want to assure you…catching the wave of these trends now could make a wealth of difference to your future, too!

Leading Indicators Point to Nicaragua as a Prime Investment Destination

There's plenty of good news in Nicaragua.

For example, the election in 2002 enjoyed the participation of 92% of the voting population. That is the highest percentage of voting by any citizens in a country where voting is voluntary. That’s far greater voter participation than in the US, for example. Three times the voters have rejected the Sandinistas and peacefully transferred power to a new administration.
 
Debt left over from the Sandanista regime was strangling Nicaragua’s economy. Fortunately, in January 2005, more than 80% of the country's international debt was forgiven. The IMF (and Japan and Russia among others) stipulated that the money earmarked for debt service must be redirected into much-needed infrastructure projects. That progress is welcome.

International Living has been involved in Nicaragua for about 9 years. We’ve seen nothing but consistent steady progress that confirms what we saw when we first visited. Nicaragua is beautiful. Nicaragua is safe. Nicaragua is friendly. Nicaragua has a bright future. And Nicaragua is a great investment.

The people of Nicaragua have embraced freedom, democracy and free enterprise with impressive enthusiasm. I never cease to be amazed at the spirit and determination of these people who have suffered so much for so long.

When Former President George Bush addressed a Nicaraguan investment conference, he had this to say,

“Nicaragua [is] one of the best examples I know of a country that has chosen democracy, free markets and economic freedom. As a result, this nation has become one of the most exciting countries for investment opportunities…"

Across Nicaragua, the possibilities for profit (and better living) are genuine. The fortunes of this region of the world are rising... and we'll show you exactly how you can ride this wave to a great life.

Condomania Hits Nicaragua!

The premiere English language publication in Nicaragua is called "Waves". A recent issue featured a story called "Condomania!" It wasn't long ago that you couldn't find a condominium in Nicaragua. But now the question is not, "How can you find a condo on the beach?" but "How can you tell which condo development is worth buying?" There are so many new developments popping up in Nicaragua, that it's difficult to keep track of them all. Let alone check them all out properly.

That's why we've got our own Central American specialist on the ground there. Our local office team will help you explore the opportunities.

With the help of our team in Nicaragua, we have toured the country extensively looking for the best deals available. There are so many new developments starting in Nicaragua now that it's amazing (especially if you have been watching the market for a decade and have seen it start from ground zero - like we have). We’ve found some deals that look good on paper, but have little chance of success. And we’ve found others that we like so much we’re thinking about buying in for ourselves.

IL's panel of experts for this conference will show you:

  • A unique development in one of Managua’s finest neighborhoods. In the middle of an old growth tropical forest where everything is green and the weather is spring-like all year round, there are large private lots in a this resort community. This development has the advantage of being only 10 minutes from the city and all its conveniences, but retains it’s privacy and the feeling of being in the middle of nature.  The perfect place for people who want great weather as well as proximity to Managua.
  • How you can open a qualifying, "tourism-related" business in this friendly, warm-weather nation, and you'll pay no VAT on any materials or services you require and no import duty on anything you bring into the country to get your business going, not only when you're building your business, but for 10 years. Plus you're exempt from income tax... again for 10 years. And if your business owns land, you'll pay no property tax either.

For several years, incentives to attract investors to the tourism sector -- with tax breaks for up to 10 years -- have been on the books. But under the lead of President Enrique Bolaños the program has expanded to allow almost any business to take advantage of the benefits.

President Bolaños has aggressively expanded the campaign to increase the number of foreign visitors from the current 475,000 per year to 800,000 per year by 2006. Increasing investments in tourism are already increasing the average tourist’s lengths of stay and spending. The target is the U.S. market (including, especially, the 600,000 Nicaraguans living in the States) and Europe.

We will show you how to cash in on the boom in Nicaragua for yourself… and your family. The time to act is now. I can’t make this point strongly enough. Word of our secret is getting out. Wait now, and you’ll have waited too long. You will miss out.

This Could Be Your Last Chance To Get in Before the "Land Rush!"


A 20-Year History of Being in the Right Place At The Right Time…

For over 20 years, IL has pointed readers to the most up-and-coming destinations.

In 1983, we recommended retiring in Costa Rica. Then you could buy a 2-bedroom home in San Jose for $19,500. Now those homes sell for up to $200,000.

Not long after, we suggested a special area on the southern coast of Spain, where you could buy a beachfront villa for $30,000. Today that place would sell for about $250,000.

In 1987, Acapulco was a great place to retire. You could grab a quarter-acre lot on the beach for $950. Now it would sell for about $75,000.

In 1990, Dublin was a choice retirement destination. That was before the "Celtic Tiger" boom in Ireland drove home prices up from $45,000 to their current price of $250,000.

In 1992, one of the best places to retire was the beautiful islands of Honduras where beach homes sold for a mere $15,000. Today, you can't buy there for under $150,000.

For almost 10 years now, we’ve been researching, writing about, exploring opportunities, and even investing in Nicaragua. And now, we’re inviting you to have a serious look at the opportunities that we’ve discovered in this American paradise.

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW.

Bargains are already getting harder to find. Some places that we recommended last year, we have to steer you away from because prices have skyrocketed. For example, our local office has told me that it's almost impossible to find a good value property in Granada today. The market has become overpriced. Just a year or two ago, the market was still viable. That's how quickly things can change.

But in other parts of Nicaragua, especially on the Pacific coast, this is the right place at the right time. But the window of opportunity may be closing soon. You need to get on the move and check it out now if you don’t want to be left behind.

Sometimes... in some places... even a modest amount of money expands into something extraordinary. Today, that place is Nicaragua.

This is the new American frontier…a place of opportunity... freedom... and untold potential... if you know what to look for… and when to act.
 
As Conde Nast Traveler reported recently: "Nicaragua seems to be the logical next choice for adventurous travelers in Central America."

Well… we don’t cover the adventure travel beat, but we know that adventurous investors are beating a path to Nicaragua now. We certainly want to beat them there.

The January 2005 issue of Men's Journal ran a feature titled, "Your Piece Of Paradise. The story called Nicaragua; "The Next Big Thing."

That's what we've been trying to tell people for years. Finally they are starting to listen. If you have considered buying a place on the ocean, for yourself, or for an investment, this is the best opportunity that you will ever have to act on the desires in your heart.

Not Theory but Experience

At our Live and Prosper in Nicaragua Seminar, you won’t learn theory. You’ll hear from experts with straight talk; what works and what doesn't – from experience. It’s the ultimate opportunity for the would-be investor in this beautiful country on the edge of boom.

Over the course of four power-packed days, you will:

  • Learn the ins and outs of Nicaragua’s Law 306 (which offers significant incentives for you to invest in any tourism-related business in this country).
  • Discover what sets Nicaragua apart from its neighbors, from its strong benefits for retirees and its affordable cost of living... to its excellent incentives for entrepreneurs in tourism and its great-value real estate... and more...
  • Find out about the various types of visas available to you as a full-time retiree, business owner, or visitor. Find out which one is right for you and how, step-by-step, you apply for it.
  • Our expert speakers will give you practical, proven tips for navigating through the red tape, whether you're having the electricity turned on, to applying for a visa, getting a prescription filled, or opening a bank account.
  • Find out, in easy-to-understand terms, what you should do to stay out of trouble with property laws and protect your investment in this country.
  • Visit Nicaragua’s top real estate and see for yourself -- where properties are undervalued, where you'll find the best retirement living, where the best beach buys are, which colonial buys are likely to offer the steepest appreciation, which lakeside resorts are worth your attention... You‘ll see the great places that you’ve read about in International Living. It’s the “Living Proof” that we know what we’re talking about when it comes to international real estate, especially in Nicaragua.
  • And much, much more...

P.S. In addition to the formal meeting sessions and the day trips to see the places that you'll hear about at the conference and that you’ve read about in International Living, we've arranged for some informal gatherings, too. You'll have time to get to know the speakers personally and to mingle with other like-minded participants.

It's this rubbing elbows, this opportunity to chat with the folks on the ground who really understand the markets and opportunities we'll be focusing on, that sets this program apart from any typical "real estate conference."

Knowledge is power. And it can be quite profitable, too. I expect that you, as I, like to get some extra leverage for your money. You do this in life just as you do in the investing world... by having more and better information than the next guy. By knowing the little secrets... and by doing what others don't. I urge you to get the inside scoop on the exciting opportunities in Nicaragua today.
