So I purchased 20 acres in Hawaii...

I sold a Wendy's franchise for 3X what I paid for it even though the land it's on didn't go up much at all


(EF translation - I ordered and paid for a Wendy's single combo and diet Coke for lunch but they gave me a triple combo instead)

question for you bro- serious. would you invest in land in Costa Rica?

Im not looking out of country yet for investment property. Ive done minimal research to be completely honest. I know alot of impoveished countries make it risky to buy in because of imminenet domain laws.

My wife trains a guy that has a working plantation in Kona, a couple hundred acres. He said the value has gone up 300% since he bought it 9 years ago. Hawaii has been appreciating at a rate of around 23% for the last 4 years. It will level out like anywhere else, but will always do well. Good investment.

I looked @ that and I figured I might as well buy now. Missed the prime mark to buy by about 4 years but I ffigure hawaii isnt getting any bigger any time soon so all the islands property will do nothing but appreciate in the coming years.

All people who stand out in the crowd will draw controversy. It's a universal, IMO. Be happy that you are not ordinary. =-)

Im looking @ it right now.
What are the local real estate laws around there? can non-natives own land there?
this looks to me to be a great elite diving rental. the diving would be amazing and you could charge a premium for the use of the 5 suites there.
time to et your diving instructor license Heather...

yes, non-natives can own fee simple title. Belize loves their foreign investors and is a very stable country. The diving there is the best in the world. The property looks immaculate, and I am excellent at tropical gardening and could do the diving instruction and have the 45' boat that has a big enough back deck and swim platform to take several people out. Plus, you could have other water sport rentals and can have snorkeling right off the end of the island with no boat required. =-) I'm in love with that island.
