Chill on Ambergris

Ambergris Caye

Affordable Luxury Living On An English-Speaking Caribbean Island

OK… if you really wanted to… you could easily spend a million dollars for a property on an English-Speaking Caribbean island.

But why do that when you could own your own luxurious, amenity-filled condo on English-speaking Ambergris Caye, Belize
for $199,000.

This September, you’re invited to join our Belize experts for a fun and eye-opening weekend at the Exotic Caye Beach Resort in sultry San Pedro Town.

Pathfinder Presents
Chill Weekend In Ambergris Caye
Exotic Caye Beach Resort
Ambergris Caye, Belize
September 3rd-6th, 2010

Get away for a few days…
have a relaxing break…

…and see for yourself how you can afford a luxury property on Ambergris Caye.

Dear Reader.

Most people who look into living on an English-speaking Caribbean island get turned off by the high prices.

I don’t blame them.

Just take a look at how much it costs to own properties on these well-known English-speaking Caribbean islands these days:

1. Bermuda: Average condo price in 2008: $830,000.
2. St. John, United States Virgin Islands: Average condo price in 2008: $634,000.

Yikes!

I know what you’re probably thinking.

“Oh… well, Ambergris Caye used to be affordable, just like these places…but prices there have gotten completely out of hand too!”

Well…I’m not going to lie to you.

In most, but not all, of this tiny, English-speaking Caribbean island, real estate prices have—just like so many other Caribbean islands—shot through the stratosphere over the past 15 to 20 years.

In coastal and tourist areas, property prices rose by up to 30% a year, every year, from 2003-2007.

And while some super-chic oceanfront condos and homes in Ambergris Caye will set you back over a cool million…you can—if you know where to look—find property prices that are much more affordable than in other well-known English-speaking Caribbean islands.

You can own your own luxury condominium with membership of San Pedro Fitness Club with its athletic and country club facilities… for only $199,000.

Ambergris Caye’s Best Kept Secret

In the next few minutes, I’m going to let you in on a little secret.

It’s a little-known luxury property on the island of Ambergris Caye in Belize…

…and it will be available at a super price—for a limited number of readers who act quickly.

That’s not a typo, by the way. $199,000, on Ambergris Caye!

Hard to believe…I know. Imagine owning your own amenity-loaded luxury condo on the English-speaking Caribbean island of Ambergris Caye…with a first-class tennis and country club at your doorstep…and the beach only a few blocks away!

Belize—One of the World’s Great Retirement Havens

Belize’s low cost of living is enough to make it one of the world’s great retirement havens.

But the country has gone a step further. It also offers incentives to expatriates who want to retire in the country. Better still, you don’t actually have to be retired or even of retirement age.

As a Qualified Retired Person, or QRP, you only need to prove that you are at least 45 years old and have a monthly income of at least $2,000 or more.

What’s more, you pay no Belizean tax on that income—earned or passive. So you won’t be taxed twice on money you’re bringing into the country. As a QRP, you have residency in Belize. However, for purposes related to international financial services, you’re considered a non-resident.

That means that you can take advantage of all the offshore banking advantages of Belize…while living there!

For example, you can form an International Business Company (IBC) in Belize, administer it from Belize, yet pay no Belizean taxes on the income it earns.

And today, with new telephone and Internet technology, virtually any business could operate as a Belizean IBC.

As a QRP, you can also import your household goods tax-free up to a total exemption amount of $15,000. That’s enough to cover all but the most lavish home furnishings. You can also bring in a car, a boat, or a light aircraft tax-free every three years.

You may also be able to get even more economic benefits by applying for a Belizean passport!

Come See “Affordable Ambergris Caye” For Yourself.

Spend the next few minutes with me today, and I’ll reveal all the details on this almost absurdly-inexpensive Ambergris Caye property.

…Plus, how you can come down to Ambergris Caye, stay for a few days, and see this property for yourself. By the way…Food, accommodations, and entertainment…all taken care of!

Finally, I’ll show you how you can get all your questions answered—by a team of Belize experts—on what it takes to own property, live, retire, and invest in Belize—all in a fun and informal “beachside” setting.

But before I get to all that, I’d first like to show you why Ambergris Caye has reemerged as one of the world’s most enticing expat and retirement havens…

…and why—if you’ve ever thought Ambergris Caye was overpriced—you should give this charming English-speaking Caribbean island a second chance.

Ambergris Caye is Back!

Ambergris Caye wasn’t always a tourist mecca.

In fact, as late as the early 90’s, it remained a relative secret.

Only a few adventurous travelers knew about it:

  • Divers and snorkelers came to explore its spectacular 176-mile barrier reef—the largest coral reef in the Western Hemisphere…
  • Sport fishermen from around the world came to fish for snapper, grouper, barracuda, bonito, tuna, kingfish, sailfish, and marlin…
  • Backpackers came to experience its immaculate white-sand beaches, untamed jungles, Mayan ruins, Garifuna music and “melting pot” culture…

However, slowly but surely, the world started to catch on to Belize in the mid 1990’s… and prices started creeping upward.

Then Came “The Temptation Effect”

In 2000, Fox TV filmed the show Temptation Island on Ambergris Caye. And as a result, property prices soared. In just one year, waterfront land almost doubled in price…

Rapid development and further price increases ensued.

This spike in real estate prices persuaded many would-be expats to consider other retirement havens throughout Latin America and elsewhere.

But here’s the thing.

Fashionable resorts and million-dollar oceanfront houses haven't changed the fact that Ambergris is a beautiful tropical island where anyone can stroll on white-sand beaches or dive into clear azure waters. It’s still a gorgeous, charming, completely captivating island—just like it was decades ago.

San Pedro Town has sandy streets where golf carts are the principal means of transportation. Here you’ll find quaint restaurants, cyber cafés, and friendly mom-and-pop shops of nearly every variety.

In fact, it's hard not to think of the area as a Cape Cod-type village with palm trees!

In Ambergris Caye, you can still have it all:

  • Modern infrastructure…
  • Lively nightlife…
  • Gorgeous beaches…
  • World-class diving, snorkeling, fishing, and bird watching …
  • A friendly, melting pot culture…
  • Plentiful opportunities to start a new tourism or real estate business…
  • An attractive retirement incentive program (even if you’re not “retired” yet!)
  • And much, much more.

And when you make Ambergris Caye your new home away from home, you’re only a few short hours from the U.S. or Canada.

…And, again, it’s an English-speaking island…a plus not to overlook…unless you are happy to spend years studying a new language, and cope with a lot of frustration and confusion in the meantime. Here you’ll be ready to chat away with the locals the second you get off the plane!

With the right help, Ambergris Caye can be a fantastic place to own property these days…and that’s precisely why I’m writing you today.
