The delivery date of this opportunity is June 2011.

Golfer’s Resort, No Holes in this One

Nicklaus Design, a firm brought together by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus, are to create a 18 hole golf course and golf experience at Forest Lakes Country Club, an immense building project being created by the Terrafirma development corporation in Nova Scotia, Canada near Halifax.

The project is over 1000 acres and the opportunity is available to purchase land within this project from, $37,000 CAD (£22,300 and 25,100€ respectively). Canadian residential property is undervalued by 2%. Compare this with property prices in Europe: in Ireland house prices are overvalued by 30%; Britain 25%; Spain 18%; France, 20% and US, 10%. The Terrafirma team are expecting increases of 100-150% once they gain planning permission for the project.

The intended area will be surrounded by beautiful Canadian forest allowing guests and residents enjoy the great outdoors. The Forest Lakes Country Club will not only have resort style amenities, but a lake and a 18 hole, world class golf course.

Now is your chance to get a piece of the pie. Terra Firma Development Corporation is putting up some of the undeveloped land to private buyers. The land was rezoned in June of 2008 to permit ‘Resort Development.’ To do this, Terra Firma needed to submit a Resort Community Master Plan, the plan includes bringing into being the previously mentioned golf course with club house, a luxury boutique hotel, an International Conference Center along with residential housing of various plot sizes and commercial outlets. This investment qualifies for inclusion in an SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pension), for United Kingdom tax-payers similar tax benefits apply.

The features of the luxury resort include a range of accommodation options including villas, townhouses, apartments and shops and a hotel. Indoor and outdoor activities slated: a golf course designed by Nicklaus Design, a gym and spa, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, skiing and cross country skiing, horse back riding and walking trails. A 25 acre lake provides sailing, windsurfing and canoeing as well as fishing. In the winter the lake has ice fishing, skating and curling. The resort itself is only a 30 minute drive from downtown Halifax.

If you’re still having doubts, keep in mind, Canada is not as hard hit by the global financial depression as other countries are. Canada has a forecasted fiscal growth of 1.6% in 2010. Canada is an oil producing nation and has an exemplary financial system according to the World Economic Forum, placing it on the top 10 list of the world’s most competitive countries. A number of multinational companies are looking to expand into Canada. Some of these companies include Research in Motion (the makers of Blackberry), Xerox, Exxon, Mobil and Michelin.

The Road to Morocco

Morocco is a great place to go for a vacation or a permanent residence. Two places in particular are Samanah Golf and Country Club and Le Jardin Le Fleur.

Samanah Golf & Country Club

Samanah Golf & Country Club is a great place to go to get away from it all while still being in connection with the world (Marrakech is only 14 kilometers away). One and two bedroom apartments are available for around €150,000, while three to six bedroom villas are around €395,000. There is a planned 600 villas being build, the first half of which are set to be completed in 2010. The country club is members only and has state of the art facilities.

In the community, there are three deluxe hotels, a spa, boutiques, a chip and putt course with a practice golf range, a market square with many great shops, and a tennis club. There are already 650 residential properties found along the golf course each with their own private swimming pools.

All in all this is a great place to relax and take a load off, either with the heavily prevalent golf presence. Consider the relaxation of a beautiful view of mountains. And always keep in mind the comforts of spa and boutique treatment.

Le Jardin Le Fleur

Le Jardin Le Fleur is one of the largest five star resorts on the Mediterranean. The resort is actually made up of 11 different resorts each with their own gourmet restaurant. There is housekeeping and concierge services available as well as personal catering for big parties. The resorts are found along six kilometers of Mediterranean beach.

There are three golf courses in the area, one of which is championship level. They are complete with driving ranges, putting greens and club houses. Nearby is a 1000 berth Marina. La Jardin Le Fleur has a Beach Club you can join. And there are entertainment programs for all ages. For the outdoor lovers, there is a nature reserve nearby with an emphasis on ornithological study.

When the King of Morocco was enthroned in 2001 he set out to create over 600,000 jobs, raise revenue to Morocco through tourism and invest €9 billion in hotels in a plan he calls Plan Azur. This promises to be a great economical reason to come to Morocco.

For the jetsetter, Oujda International Airport is a 40 minute drive. London, Paris and Madrid are three hour or shorter flight. If you don’t feel like a plane ride you can always take a trip to the desert city of Fez. Make sure to bring a guide to help you better enjoy the trip.

The Most Beautiful Tax Break in the World

When you think of the Cayman Islands, the first thing that probably comes to your mind is the idea of a relaxing vacation with the family on some tropical island. While this is not false, there are many other things to consider when looking at the Cayman Islands.

The Caymans are actually a great place to go to make money and to keep money. The tourism business has never been better for the Caymans and it is only growing. The Caymans actually have more registered businesses than they have people.

The Cayman Islands are tax-free environment. There are no local taxes, no income tax, no inheritance tax, no non-residents tax, no capital gains or similar taxes. So basically the money you make is the money you keep.

The population of the Caymans is growing at over 2% a year. The Cayman Islands has a stable government and infrastructure that is based on international banking and tourism. The government does not require reporting of income or ownership. There are no restrictions on investments. In fact, there are investment services and opportunities available for residents.

The Cayman Island dollar is the 10^th most valued currency in the world at $0.80 of the United States Dollar. The Caymans have their own stock exchange and the highest standard of living in the Caribbean. Even in this global downturn the Caymans have recorded a positive growth in 2008 of more than 12%. The average income of residents of the Cayman Islands is around $42,000.

Becoming a resident can be achieved by one of two different methods, either by being a “Wealthy Retiree” or “Entrepreneur/Investor.” Either method will allow for you to take advantage of the tax breaks provided.

Modern Cayman villas located on the Millionaires Row in the Caribbean tax haven of Cayman Islands

International Property Mole offers a realistic and durable real estate investment strategy with the following attractive attributes:
No local taxes – there are no income tax, inheritance tax, non-residents tax, capital gains or other similar taxes in the Cayman Islands
Stability and Security – the Cayman Islands have a stable government, sophisticated infrastructure and a strong economy based on international banking and tourism
British Territory – operating British Common Law
Investment freedom – no restrictions on investment purchases
Comprehensive investment services and opportunities and prices for villa plots start at around £34,000

All plots are on or near the beach and have fantastic sea views and access to a white sandy beach. Not far from your Cayman villa is ‘Rum Point’, famous for its island atmosphere, idyllic beaches and clear waters.

New owners and residents can develop their new properties for rental, sale on completion or their own personal use. Keep in mind the Caymans have strict building codes. These codes make sure the houses on the Caymans can withstand the hurricane season. This basically makes your investment a sound one if you do build there.

And if all of this wasn’t enough, consider the climate. The temperatures range between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius all year round. December through April tends to be the high point of tourist season with the cooler temperatures. The rainy season (May to October) consists of short burst showers, which do not dampen anyone’s spirit of adventure.

The perfect place for seafaring investors

In the southernmost region of Portugal is The Algarve, a paradise of rich valleys, crystal waters, and world-class accommodations.  In the 15th century this region became home to Europe’s first international travelers – great explorers, conquering the seas.  In the 21st century, the travelers are returning – more and more every day – to make The Algarve their second home.  With an investment in Portuguese property, you can join their ranks.

Sunray Village is the perfect place for seafaring investors to begin their “sale.”  Slated for completion in early 2010, this property boasts some of the most luxurious amenities you will find anywhere in a tropic locale fit for kings.  From private gardens and swimming pools to rooftop Jacuzzis and on-property golf grounds, this is less a Village than a Haven.  And it already has the accolades to show for it:  A multi-award-winning architect.  Two Best of Portugal 2008 awards.  Sunray Village is a proven win.

And the investor wins with a full roster of Sunray Village sales incentives.  Enjoy Portugal’s attractive cost of living – one of the lowest in the EU – in a climate of blissful peace-of-mind, amidst Europe’s lowest crime rate.  As a top tourist destination among British travelers, English is widely spoken, both by resort residents and friendly Algarve locals, a great percentage of whom work in the tourism industry.  With over 300 days of sunshine per year, gloom is foreign to Portugal.  And with a property investment in Sunray Village, be sure to leave yours at home.

Equally shining is Balaia Atlantico, a lush resort located in Albufeira, the heart of The Algarve.  Sales deals here are no less a discovery, including 20% deposit paid, mortgage at 80% loan to value, and all fees and taxes covered.  And because reliability is the name of the game, Balaia Atlantico offers a 3-Year Rental Guarantee, during which properties will be fully managed to achieve rental income.

Perhaps the jewel in Portugal’s rich investment prospectus crown is the vast array of Below Market Value Properties available.  With financial and real estate markets in unique historical conditions, opportunities abound for the wise investor to acquire a diverse portfolio with secure, direct returns through a private client fund business.  Their extensive experience and tested contacts open the door to property priced at 70 to 75% of its value, which you can purchase without even investing your own capital.  100% financing is available, with no money or very low money down and 5 to 10% of property value in cash available to be drawn out on day one as well as 20% property equity.

Add to that the distinct availability of Property Sourced to Requirements – the chance to tell an associate what you’re looking for and have them custom-find it for you – and the horizon gets even brighter.  These opportunities are speedboats in a sea of schooners, so hop on now before the ship has sailed.

Turkey for Christmas ?

Between three seas lies Turkey, a land of culture and art with rich imperial roots.  With a national forecast of untold prosperity, this is the ideal time to invest in Turkish property.  And once home to a Wonder of the Ancient World are two miracles of modern real estate: the cities of Bodrum and Fethiye, along the Aegean coast.

Bodrum is one of Turkey’s most popular resort destinations for a reason.  The tranquility of its sands can be matched only by the vibrancy of its waters – Bodrum is a major boating and yachting centre, as well as one of the world’s foremost windsurfing destinations.  Fittingly, the sale incentives are enough to sweep the prospective investor off their feet.  Units in Royal Heights, a premiere Bodrum resort, begin pricing at £67,460, with 100% financing offered at a 25% discount with 75% loan to value.

Royal Heights, Flamingo Country Club, Tuzla, Bodrum, Turkey

Location is everything for Royal Heights.  Easy access to beaches and the international airport is a given.  The real honey on the baklava is the short 2km walk to Vita Park Golf Course, anticipated to become one of the world’s top international golf course properties.  That, and Disney recently announced plans to begin construction on a Disneyland Resort in Oren, a mere half-hour drive away.  And where the Mouse goes, tourism dollars always follow.

Oasis Village, Yaniklar, Fethiye, Turkey

Further down the beach sits Oasis Village, in the coastal city of Fethiye.  Considering that over 45% of the town’s population work in the tourism sector, investment in this Turkish town practically sells itself.  And if that doesn’t, then pricing starting at £67,944 with 100% financing, a 25% discount, and 75% loan to value should.   While the Oasis Village property boasts every accommodation the luxury traveler could ever ask for, it would be difficult to keep them inside given the area’s eye-popping roster of outdoor activities – from mountaineering to waterskiing and everything in between.  Paraglide over the world-famous majestic blue lagoon in nearby Olu Deniz if you need convincing.  With capital growth estimated at 8 – 10% per annum, investing in Turkey has never been less of a risk.  Every adrenaline-packed joy ride you try once you get here – that’s another story.

The Gift of the Nile

It’s the Gift of the Nile.  And with wise investing, it can keep on giving.  Egypt is the consummate exotic getaway, rife with some of the planet’s richest history and most scintillating culture.  Tourism flow is constant, the economy is booming, and the government has never been stronger.  With the future of history’s jewel so bright, the time to invest in Egyptian property is now.

Over sandy dunes and through regal valleys, the Sinai Peninsula meets the Red Sea to form some of the most majestic beaches on earth.  And situated on their shores are luxury resorts just waiting to make you money.  In Shark’s Bay, Egypt’s flocked-to premiere diving capital, the Savanna Sharm Resort is a pharaoh’s find.  With up to 20% capital growth annually on investment property and a slew of tax benefits from no capital gains tax to no inheritance tax, Savanna Sharm is one of the nation’s tourist treasures and an investment opportunity well worth pursuing.

Another wonder of the investment world can be found in the Samra Bay Marina & Spa Resort.  Located in the unique coastal city of Hurghada, Samra Bay offers excellent capital growth potential.  Priced as low as £1000 per sqm, you’ll have plenty left over to spend along the Golden Mile, the exclusive beachfront promenade a short walk from the resort.  Payment is advantageous and handled by an escrow agent, with 40% on signature, 20% after 1 year, and 40% after delivery.  With doors slated to open in 2011, delivery and returns are anything but mummified.

Also in Hurghada are the Ocean Breeze Resort and the Oasis Marina, both aptly named and sure to be a property sale you’ll treasure above all others.   Located right on the beach and steps from the newly-built Sahl Hasheesh marina, they’re sure to draw sportsmen and sunbathers alike.  And with a 5 year 8% rental guarantee, flexible payment plans, and 8 full weeks per year of person investor use, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be drawn, too.

Ancient Egypt gave the world some of its most coveted properties.  You can help modern Egypt usher in the newest.  (And unlike the pyramids, getting into these is so much easier.)

The Caracola Beach & Spa Resort, Isla Margarita

Make mine a Margarita !

The exotic nation of Venezuela, including the idyllic tourist hot-spot of Isla Margarita, is recognised as one of the most promising emerging markets in the world.

In 1498 Christopher Columbus discovered Margarita Island.  Five hundred years later, people are still discovering it – and its popularity is about to boom.  Situated off the coast of Venezuela, Margarita Island is a paradise, boasting stunning vistas of mountains and surf, perfect weather year-round, and the friendliest people you can ever hope to meet.  And no area embodies this more than Caracola Beach, the jewel of Margarita Island.

Caracola Beach & Spa Resort, Isla Margarita

Investing in Caracola property now is as alluring as an icy margarita on warm white sand.  As if the colorful culture and tropic expanses weren’t enough, Bernie Ecclestone recently announced he’s building a Formula 1 Grand Prix track on the island, with construction slated to begin in 2010.  Financed to the tune of $800 million, it is the capstone to the recent trend of world-class investors laying claim to Margarita Island, and skyrocketing its appeal in the process.  Why not join the race with an investment in Caracola Beach and Spa Resort?

The Caracola Beach & Spa Resort - Porlamar, comprises of apartments & duplexes spread over 15 floors, overlooking the stunning Caracola Beach, on the eastern fringes of the island’s main town, Porlamar.

Sale of property in Caracola Beach and Spa Resort, with its luxury resort amenities and world-class spa, is priced below nearly every other secure investment opportunity in the Caribbean.  It has a guaranteed minimum 7% per annum net rental return for 10 years (with added perks depending on occupancy rates), provides fidelity bonds to back all investments, and dispenses freehold titles.  Couple all those securities with the divine insurance of Margarita Island lying outside the hurricane belt – one of the only Caribbean islands to exist so – and you truly start to see what all the fuss is about.

Isla Margarita, known as the “Pearl of the Caribbean” is the most developed of three islands which form the state of Nueva Esparta, just off the North East coast of Venezuela.

Caracola Beach is located just minutes from the International Airport and Porlamar, the island’s main city and commercial center.  And you’ll have plenty to spend here after what you save on a Caracola Resort investment.   With a unique offer of 30% in Fractional units, buyers can now get in on the action for about 14k euros – or 50% of full sale – with the rest paid on completion, of which a staggering 30% can be financed away.

Columbus started something; have a hand in finishing it.  Make a Caracola sale today.
