Why I Didn't Cash Out
When I Watched
My $2,234 Grow to $37,766
in Two Weeks...

Dear Reader,

I remember the day distinctly. I'd wrapped up work, grabbed a beer from the fridge, and wandered into the living room to flip the news on. There they were on the screen: traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, grimacing.

It was April 30, 2008. And MY markets were going UP. I raised my glass toward the tube and just shook my head. I felt bad for those guys. But truth be told: I was having a pretty good day.

That's because two weeks earlier, I'd put down the equivalent of $1,117 on each of two pre-construction condo units in Fortaleza, Brazil, (one of the world's most vibrant, up-and-coming markets). On April 30th--just half a month later--those units were selling for $20,000 more, each.

In other words, I had made a paper profit of $37,766 in two weeks--at a time when the U.S. was tumbling into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

I'll explain more in a minute. First, though, let me tell you the rest of the story...

Fast-Forward to Today: An $87,000 Profit

Those two condo units were priced at R$180,000 (Brazilian reais) each when I grabbed them. But today, just shy of three years later, they'd sell for R$250,000 each.

In fact, I just sold one of these condos for that price.

For me, that's a gross profit--in US dollars--of $43,500 on the unit I sold. The kicker, though, was that I secured each of those units with the equivalent of a measly $736 down and made just small monthly payments along the way. There were some expenses, but a nice bump I got on the currency exchange went toward offsetting those.

For the other unit, the one I still own, I'm up R$70,000. If I sold today I would likely walk away with the same gross profit of $43,500.

That's a hassle-free gross profit of $87,000 from these two condos alone.

Not too shabby when you consider that the Dow went down over that same period. If I'd put my money there instead, I'd be looking at a negative average annual return.

Suffice it to say: I'm pretty glad I had my money in those condos instead.

This won't be the first time I've tucked a triple-digit return into my portfolio. With the right deals in the right markets at the right time--that kind of gain ISN'T unusual at all.

In Panama City, I bought preconstruction for $147,000 and sold shortly after my unit was delivered for $220,000. Plus because of a little-known Panama tax loophole, I was 100% legally able to pocket my profits free of any taxes in Panama.

In Ireland a few years back (when that country was on an economic tear), I bought a place pre-construction for 128,000 Irish pounds (the equivalent of 162,526 euro) with just a tiny down payment. A few years later, the area boomed, and I sold for 275,000 euro, pocketing a handy triple-digit annual gain.

A Prudent, Lucrative Way to Grow and Protect Your Portfolio

When you invest in real estate in the right places--in the right way--you can realistically expect returns of 100%, 200%, and more...outside stocks, and outside the dollar. It can be a very prudent--and lucrative--way to diversify your portfolio.

In these uncertain economic times, having a portion of your nest egg outside the States is just plain sensible. And with the right international real estate plays...it can be easy, too.

This is Ronan McMahon here. You know I spend the majority of my time scouting the planet for good-value real estate deals--deals like the ones I just mentioned.

But what you may not know is that I don't just stop there. I actually sit down with the developers in person in these markets I think make sense, and I hammer out an even better deal I can pass on to you.

I've got several truly extraordinary profit plays lined up for 2011. They're in places like Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Uruguay, and beyond. From apartments to beachfront, cities to rural escapes, there's something for nearly every taste. If you're interested in...

  • Taking advantage of this short window of opportunity...
  • Recouping value your portfolio lost in the recent crash...
  • Having a solid hedge against uncertain markets--and currency--at home...
  • Enjoying a toehold overseas where your nest egg can grow--and you can relax...

Then I'd like to invite you to join me this summer in person at International Living's...

International Real Estate Investment Forum

Building Downtown SkyScraper

Toronto, Canada, June 9-11, 2011

When we meet, I'll get a map out and show you exactly where the best opportunities are right now. I'll talk to you about why they make sense and if they'd be right for you. And then I'll show you how you can quickly and easily get in on them--with deals the average Joe off the street can't touch.

Right now, I'm still negotiating on your behalf. So I can't give you the specifics about every bargain quite yet. But I can tell you a bit about the places I'm hot on for 2011--the places you'll hear more about this summer in Toronto. Here are just a few of them...

  • A spot in "already-discovered" Costa Rica where the rainforest meets the ocean... and the views are jaw dropping glorious. You'd think prices would be sky-high. Only it's hard to get to... or, at least, it has been until now. A new road is in... and there's a short window of opportunity here in 2011 as local prices begin to increase to meet those in neighboring areas.
  • Uruguay's best beachfront towns--an extension of Punta del Este, really--where you can still buy land for between $1 and $4 per square meter. This stretch of coast is in the sights of a handful of international developers who have been quietly purchasing large tracts of land. This area is primed for Argentineans and North Americans, and they're just beginning to discover it. This summer in Toronto, I'll show you how to position yourself for gains.
  • Along the north coast of Ecuador, the beaches are wide and largely untouched. Lush green forest covers the hills. It's beautiful. But it's been hard to get to. However, as in that Costa Rica spot, access here is about to improve dramatically. A new highway from Quito to the region is complete and open. It is now the closest beach area to Quito, the country's capital. Your dollars stretch more in Ecuador than anyplace else. And this little corner is poised to boom. I see this as an investment play, to be sure--but also one with a lifestyle angle--you could easily enjoy a few weeks or months a year at the ocean. Join me in Toronto this summer, and I'll show you how you can get there first (and on the cheap).
  • A way you can capitalize on the (ongoing) boom in Brazil today. Coastal Fortaleza is Brazil's #1 domestic tourism destination. Soccer's Confederations Cup comes here in 2013 followed by the World Cup the following year. A total of 9.8 billion reais ($5.5 billion) will be spent locally to improve infrastructure and tourism amenities in the lead up to 2014. And there's a hotel and condo shortage. You can profit from it... and at this upcoming International Real Estate Investment Forum, we'll show you how.
  • Along the Riviera Maya, a postcard-perfect Caribbean coast, there's a spot where the development is thoughtful and demand for accommodation is high. I'll introduce you to a great income-producing play here. The kind of thing high-net-worth individuals love to grab. Only you don't need to be loaded to make this one work wonders for you!
  • And that's just the beginning of the opportunities you'll hear about this summer...

In each and every one of those places--and a slew of others, too--I'm working on arranging special deals for attendees only. A way for you to get into a market I believe in (even at full price)--but get you in at a significant discount right now, in 2011. That early-in, lower-price advantage hands you a great safety margin, certainly. But it also puts you way ahead of the pack when it comes to gains...

This Isn't "Rich Man" Investing, It's "Smart Man" Investing

You don't need to be super-wealthy to protect and grow your portfolio with international real estate holdings. (Though this is exactly how many of the world's savviest and wealthiest investors do it.) In the markets I like (with the deals I recommend), often just a few thousand dollars will suffice as a down payment, and financing can be as low as 1%. It means you're able to really leverage your investment--and that's how you can come away with those triple-digit returns.

"It was good to be in the company of other like-minded people who are looking for investments that make sense. The group was very cohesive and everyone got along very well and I think all learned strategies and ideas about this type of real estate."--Steven L.

You don't need to spend weeks on end traveling. Sure, you can if you like. It's always good to "kick the tires" before you commit to a place. But I've got the legwork under control--I do it, so you don't have to. I'll tell you the pros and cons, the potential time frame you're looking at, and even introduce you to the contacts you need to know.

You don't have to fall in love personally with every investment play. The kinds of opportunities I'll bring to your attention in Toronto could very well include places you'd like to spend a few weeks or months a year. (Beachfront hideaways... highland retreats...) In that case, you gain the added benefit of combining a lifestyle perk with a profit play. But what I'm most concerned with is whether an opportunity makes for a sound investment, pure and simple. You don't have to want to live in a place to have it make money for you.

Why RIGHT NOW Is an Excellent Time to Invest in Real Estate Overseas

Back home, the real estate news is mostly grim, I know. Property values have tumbled. The foreclosure rate is up. You know the story. But let me tell you about a world you don't hear so much about in the press...

1. Not every place is in a recession.

We get lots of doom-and-gloom on the home front. But the picture looks decidedly rosier in some other places around the world. Places where credit wasn't so loose. Places where the economy today isn't anemic, but is actually growing at a healthy clip. These places DO exist. And you can find great investment opportunity there.

In certain places like this--Brazil and one particular spot on the Mayan Riviera, to name two--I like certain pre-construction deals, for instance. That's where you buy into a development before it has been constructed. Frequently, developers will offer substantial discounts to buy "off-plan" like this. The best pre-construction projects will sell out before a shovel goes in the ground. And often the best units go to "insiders." You can be one of those "insiders," and really benefit.

"Just as American tourists tend to flock to the familiar big names such as London, Paris and Tokyo, U.S. investors are sending almost all of their money to those markets as well. That's no way to really see the world - and it's no way to invest in it either."--Money Magazine

Developers often need investor funds to stay in business. That's a strong incentive to create simple and profitable investor terms. In addition, bank finance for construction costs will typically be dependent on a certain level of pre-sales. The developer will want to hit that number as soon as possible. All that works in your favor.

As long as you're buying in a place where the market is poised to appreciate, and a large portion of the general public wouldn't mind owning or renting your unit, you're in a strong "profit position" as I like to think of it. This summer in Toronto, you'll discover the step-by-step secrets to identifying both the right markets and the right deals.

2. One person's distress sale can be your smart, below-market buy.

It's not just pre-construction that makes sense in 2011, either. The credit and financial crises we're all too familiar with in the States DID explode elsewhere, too of course--most notably in Europe. But what is a struggle for somebody else can be a real opportunity for you today. Let me explain.

I like the idea of buying prime, quality, and cash-flow-positive real estate for substantially less than my neighbor paid (sometimes half). Sound good to you, too?

I'm talking about "crisis investing" here. And the opportunities with the strongest and most reliable yields are in the UK, Portugal, and Spain today.

Here's why this opportunity exists: Banks lent to developers to build. Developers built in anticipation that there would be no problem selling their units. After nearly a decade of runaway demand and floods of cheap money, they took their eye off the ball. They took on more debt and risk than they should have, and they overpaid for land.

Credit and financial crises combined with oversupply led to a breakdown in many markets. Sales dried up and high-quality, completed units are left sitting, waiting for a buyer. Banks need to purge their loan books. Developers want to lick their wounds and move on. Forced sell-offs are happening... demand is rock bottom.

This is a formula for opportunity. In Toronto this June, I'll show you how to spot special deals like this and teach you how to know when to pounce. I'm hoping, in fact, to have a few of these deals I can put on the table for you in Toronto. But as you can imagine, it's all in the timing with things like this. So it'll just depend on what I find in the week leading up to the event.

3. Baby boomers are headed south in greater numbers than ever--but you can get there first, for less, and profit from the coming "migration."

More than 7 million Americans already live overseas. Their ranks are growing faster than ever. And it's a trend that's going to gain momentum. Millions of Baby Boomers are poised to retire with less money than they'd planned on. By necessity, they'll be looking to escape to destinations where their dollars buy them more.

That means places like Panama, Mexico, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Uruguay, Argentina, Belize, and beyond. When you can get there first, ahead of the crowds, you can be well positioned for profit as prices increase with demand.

"The United States has lost a cumulative $2.8 trillion of retirement savings in the downturn. While some retirees are scratching their heads, others are picking up their passports."--Marketplace Money, American Public Media

That's why I look for what I call "Path of Progress" plays. Let me explain. Infrastructure development drives real estate prices. It's a fact. This is particularly so when accessibility is increased within an already established and growing market. So I look for places where a new road is going in, for instance, or an airport is under construction. Places where a new area is going to be opening up. When you get in early in a region like this, you've got a head start on gains.

This summer, I'll introduce you to several timely "Path of Progress" plays in proven markets... and walk you through the criteria I use to decide if a deal like this is a good one.

Tools to Help You Control Your Own Future

In Toronto, I'll hand you the simple, proven tools you need to analyze deals on your own. I'll be there to help you every step of the way. But I also want you to feel confident that you're making sound, educated decisions about your own portfolio.

"My big error was not having more money invested outside the US in real estate. Like many, I was very hurt by the stock market drop. I am a financial advisor, and spreading risk by currency and asset class is very important. While the US economy is coming out of this crash very slowly, the global economy is already moving forward quickly."--Robert Walterman

That's the whole idea, after all: That YOU control your future. That you don't just sit idle, hoping that the economy recovers at home. Instead, I want to show you how you can easily, quickly, and safely take steps to shore up and grow your portfolio, using real estate outside the States.

So you can afford to enjoy the lifestyle you deserve. So you have the freedom to do what you want, when you want, where you want.

This International Real Estate Investment Forum isn't like other events. It is designed to show you (in very practical terms) where--and how--to turn a profit with real estate outside the US and outside the dollar. It's like a crash course, essentially. Only it's not just theoretical or academic. It's based on real-world experience and up-to-the-minute intelligence.

All the speakers are contacts I know and trust personally. International real estate experts... finance guys... currency specialists... legal professionals... developers... and more. They're flying in from the far reaches of the planet--each ready to share something practical and profit minded.

During this power-packed program in June, we'll hand you every proven insider's tool you need to turn your portfolio into an international real estate profit machine--starting this year.

But that's just the beginning.

I've got something truly extraordinary in the works. And it's worth more than $7 million to the folks who join me in Toronto. I'll tell you how you can quickly and easily secure your share here below.

Because there's no smoke-and-mirrors when it comes to picking real estate deals overseas that make good sense...

A Good Deal Always Ticks These Boxes

Take that condo in Brazil I told you about earlier. The one I just recently sold. Here's why I knew that deal would make money... to be honest, the reasons are pretty common sense:

1) I had firsthand, on-the-ground intelligence about that place. I'd asked all the hard questions, seen things with my own eyes. I felt 100% confident that the fundamentals in that market were rock solid and my timing was right. Never mind what was going on in the US markets.

2) I had gotten into this deal at a rock-bottom price with very attractive terms. I knew that put me in a good position. I had the equivalent of a running head start on the profit front.

"I think whoever invested based on your recommendations is sitting on a sweet pot of gold."--Frank Ip

3) I had a plan--a target hold time on this. This wasn't a two-week play. It was a two-year play.

My point here really is this: I don't believe in investing on a whim. And I don't think you should, either. That's not a low-risk way to protect and grow your portfolio. You want to have your "ducks in a row" when you invest in real estate overseas--when you invest in anything, really.

To my mind, a sound, profit-focused deal should always tick these five boxes here below. Every recommendation I make--every deal you'll hear about in Toronto this summer--does that.

The Five Boxes Every Smart Deal Should Tick in 2011
A Deal Worth Considering Is...

tick1. In an appreciating market in the early to mid stages of growth.
tick2. Has a developer with a strong track record who is financially stable.
tick3. In a place with supply constraints--a lack of developable land, for example.
tick4. In a market with an abundant supply of end users.
tick5. In a liquid market with a large volume of transactions.

In Toronto, You Get a "Running Head Start" on Gains

I want to share a little secret with you.

Every time I've spoken at an International Living event, I've come with a special, very limited deal in hand--something I haven't told the full readership about. In fact, it's something I don't even tell 95% of the event attendees about either.

It's a deal that I've hammered out with a specific developer, and which I reserve for my "inner circle." That's primarily the folks who follow the recommendations in my Real Estate Trend Alert service. A handful of them always turn up at these live events, and I pull them aside over lunch and lay out the opportunity for them.

"No one can foresee the future -- which is why it's best to split your money among a series of diverse investments."--Jon Waggoner, USA Today

Usually it's a way they can shave even more off an already good deal and get a foothold in a place that's about to boom. A head start on profits.

In the past, for instance, I've been able to arrange deals like these ...

  • A pre-launch offer on a pre-construction project along a lovely stretch of Caribbean coast. In this spot, rental demand far outstrips supply. My "inner circle" shaved 9% off the official launch price. They got in early--so got their pick of the best units. And they were required to put ZERO down. That's right, no down payment. These properties are already appreciating nicely. The folks who grabbed penthouse units with this special deal paid $199,000--right now, they're sold out, with the last one selling for $244,000.
  • A 15% discount on the launch price of a beachfront condo in the hottest real estate market in South America. And the financing terms were incredible... a 1% down payment and monthly payments of 1% during the build period. At the "official" launch, 200 people put their names on the registration list, hoping for a cancellation. But my people were already in.
  • A distressed deal in the UK where my "inner circle" got in at 52% off the developer's list price. This was in a high-end, contemporary condo in the heart of the Birmingham city center, a 15-minute stroll from the financial district with cinemas, galleries, and theaters at the doorstep. This is where young professional and business people want to live and rent. My folks could grab one-bed units at £75,336 ($123,780). Gross rental yields from a unit like this are in the region of 10%.

At the upcoming International Real Estate Investment Forum in Toronto this June, those are exactly the sorts of deals you'll have access to. They're all through developers I have confidence in. And in locales I believe make very smart sense in 2011.

I can say that with confidence, because I've done my homework. I'm an active real estate investor myself. I'm always on the lookout for potential investments... kicking the tires in new markets... cutting deals with developers and agents.

I spend lots (and lots) of time culling the worthwhile opportunities from the many that don't deserve even a second glance. Now, Pathfinder earns fees on these deals. But I see about 200 potential deals for every one I actually bring to the attention of my readers.  And members of my VIP group, Real Estate Trend Alert, always get the best price available. And they always hear about the best deals first. That's my promise. And at this event, you'll have access to those very deals.

Plus there's one more thing I want to tell you about... a little extra to sweeten the pot...

Attendees Access $7 Million in Discounts

First, I'm treating everyone who attends this event in Toronto like one of my "inner circle." That means that you automatically get access to the very best deals available. Deals people "on the street" cannot touch.

Second, I'm not coming with just one exclusive offer. I'm going to show you at least seven. Seven ways you can access below-market pricing in places that I believe in--and recommend, in fact--even if you were to pay full price.

"Thank you so much for your good work on scouting out the BEST investment opportunities for us . I had followed your lead on the Beach Class project. I ended up reserving three (3) units there. Since then I have been receiving good news almost weekly on how things are shaping up and moving fast there, and our investment looks VERY good."--Frank I.

And these deals aren't just "good." They're downright extraordinary.

Together, they represent $7 million in discounts. That's a very long "running head start" on gains.

Think about it this way. Say you decide to take advantage of just ONE deal. And say it gets you into a place at a 15% market discount. So instead of $62,000 for a beachfront condo, you pay $52,700. In this scenario, you're $9,200 ahead of the game before you even factor in potential appreciation. Before you factor in any rental income. Before you factor in the enjoyment value of time you could spend in this place personally if you wanted to--a little escape in the sun.

So one deal like that one could easily be worth $9,000-plus to you. And at this event this summer, you'll have access to $7 million worth of discounts like that.

So you see, this International Real Estate Investment Forum isn't just about pointing you to markets and showing you how to profit in them. It's about taking it one step further, it's about handing you--on a silver platter--a real head start on gains.

Three Proven Ways to Position Yourself for Gains Overseas

You can invest for profit in real estate in all sorts of ways--in all sorts of little corners--in countries as diverse as Portugal and Argentina... the UK and Mexico... Nicaragua and Brazil. In Toronto this summer, we'll lay out for you what your best options are for 2011 and beyond, like...

1) Preconstruction Deals: Hot Market, Get in Early
We'll show you a place where foreign investment is coming fast. Where the economy is strong. Where there are more tourists coming than ever before. And where multi-billion-dollar infrastructure projects are under way. Here, along a gorgeous coastline, preconstruction (with proven developers in the right spots) makes very smart sense. Particularly where you can get in at a discount with good terms and very little down.

2) Get ahead of the Path of Progress
The landscape is dramatic in another place we'll tell you about. Panoramic ocean views... lush tropical rainforest... sheer jungle-clad slopes rising sharply from pristine stretches of sandy beach. It's undeniably gorgeous. Yet it's been cut off from easy access--until now. A new road is in. And when retirees looking for their Paradise discover it's there--prices are going to climb. Now's the time to beat the crowds.

3) Crisis Investing: Jump in When Others Want Out
"Crisis investing" means buying when everyone else wants--or needs--out. At a macro level, markets overreact and overshoot both on the up and down sides. Assets become mispriced. But mispriced assets can equal profit opportunity... if you grab the right assets, that is. Right now in certain markets, high-quality, completed units have been left sitting, waiting for buyers. Banks want out. And developers will take crazy-good deals, simply to move the properties off their books. In the right situations, these deals can be pure gold. This summer in Toronto, we'll show you where to find them...

More than 150 Years of Expertise...
Speakers Committed to Sharing Practical, Profit-Minded Intelligence

I'll be on hand to speak to you in Toronto, of course. But I'm only one of many speakers I have lined up. On the roster of experts coming to the International Real Estate Investment Forum are pros with more than 150 years of expertise between them. They are top-tier advisors in international real estate, finance, currencies, law, real estate development, and more. Among those you'll hear from are...

Dan Prescher, International Living's Special Projects Editor. Dan will be our emcee. He and his wife have lived in Ecuador, Panama, Nicaragua, and Mexico (where they're based now). Dan will share his experiences with you and hand over his picks for the best places to focus your investment dollars in Mexico today.

Lee Harrison, International Living's Latin America Roving Editor. In the course of his work, he is often the first scout on the ground in new real estate markets. He's concerned with potential return, of course, but also takes a real interest in finding places that are enjoyable for part-time living, too. He personally has invested in Brazil, Uruguay, Nicaragua, and Ecuador. In Toronto, Lee will share his investment outlook, as well has his top picks for 2011.

Margaret Summerfield is Director of Pathfinder and a long-time trusted colleague of mine. You know her name from Pathfinder Alerts where she regularly shares her latest on-the-ground intelligence. Margaret is our chief property scout. In June, she will show you how she uncovers the world's best real estate deals, and also how infrastructure changes are creating big opportunities right now in Latin America.

Also flying in from their homes in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico and beyond are developers, attorneys, and resident expatriates who will be on hand to speak with you about the opportunities they themselves have to offer you and to share their own stories about investing internationally as well.

That's just a partial list of the experienced players who you'll have a chance to talk and meet with this summer in Toronto. You'll find them all approachable and willing to share their opinions and experiences. That's important to me. You need straight-shooting insights. And that's exactly what you'll get when you join me and my colleagues at this event.

Where to Find the Best Real Estate Deals in 2011

I'm going to give you something else, too. I'm still working out the details with the various developers about the special deals you'll have access to as an attendee.

But even so, I want to make sure you have the low-down on the regions I'm targeting for the best profit plays this year. A little background, essentially. That way, when you get to Toronto, you can put the deals you see there in context immediately.

So I'm pulling together a special report called 2011 Profit Plays: Where You'll Find the World's Best Real Estate Deals. When you register for the International Real Estate Investment Forum, I'll send it to you--free. Inside you'll find out...

  • Why Costa Rica's Caribbean Coast is poised to take off now... and why the track record this nation has of developing tourism and a second-home market on its Pacific coast bodes very well for this "next" region in the years to come.
  • The "other" Nicaragua... the Pacific coast Paradise that looks like California did a 100 years ago. Find out why Nicaragua's politics don't matter here. Discover what makes this place like a nation unto itself--and why that's great news if you have a foothold here.
  • Ecuador's sleeping beachfront giant. There's a market about to blossom in this good-value country . You'll find out exactly where it is, how you get there, and why now is the right time to take a look for yourself.
  • And much, much more...

2011 Profit Plays: Where You'll Find the World's Best Real Estate Deals is yours with my compliments when you register for the International Real Estate Investment Forum. And, in fact, it's the only way to get a copy. We won't sell it the bookstore. But it's yours, free, when you sign on.

This June 9-11, Enjoy Toronto's Kaleidoscope of Cultures

We're hosting this event in Toronto, Canada, a city I really enjoy and frequent often. June is a great time to be here. The sun is usually out, and the temperatures are in the high sixties. It's comfortable, light jacket, walking weather. Perfect for exploring.

And we'll be well-located to do just that. The InterContinental Toronto Centre where we'll be based is right in the center of a vibrant downtown. You'll have 150 restaurants nearby, along with lots of boutiques, theaters, and museums.

"As one of the planet's most diverse cities, Toronto is oddly clean and orderly. Sidewalks are spotless, trolleys run like clockwork, and the locals are polite almost to a fault."--New York Times

This city is a "kaleidoscope of world cultures" as the New York Times puts it. You can "sing karaoke in a Vietnamese bar, sip espresso in Little Italy and catch a new Bollywood release, all in one night."

It's also a real "foodie" town, and so I can guarantee you'll enjoy heading out with your fellow attendees to grab dinner and a nightcap at the end of the day.

We've arranged for a special reduced rate at the InterContinental for attendees ($179/night). So when you sign on to join us for this event, you can take advantage of that savings, too.

Profit-Focused, Value-Minded, and Fun

Savings is a theme here for this program. As an attendee, you have access to $7 million in savings on real estate deals I'd recommend--even if you were paying full price.

Essentially, I'm handing you a running head start on gains. Exactly the edge that can lead you to the same sort of triple-digit annual returns I've enjoyed investing this way.

But the only way to participate in these special deals--the only way to get that edge -is to join me in Toronto, June 9-11. Right now is the most affordable time to reserve your seat.

Forgive me if I'm being too direct here. But I have to be honest: I don't think we're charging enough for this program. We're handing you access to $7 million worth of exclusive discounts on properties in the world's best, most undervalued markets.

"The idea is that YOU control your future. That you don't just sit idle, hoping that the economy recovers at home. Instead, I want to show you in Toronto how you can use real estate to easily, quickly, and safely shore up your portfolio. So you can afford to enjoy the lifestyle you deserve. So you have the freedom to do what you want, when you want, where you want."-- Ronan McMahon

Just one single deal could be worth thousands of dollars to you. For example, just recently, I arranged a deal like the ones I'm putting together for Toronto.

It was in a high-end coastal development with magnificent views of the Caribbean and the surrounding mountains and valleys. It's in a 640-acre development set up at 1,300 feet - so you get great ocean breezes.

The site is diverse, with virgin rainforest, five rivers, two waterfalls, and gently rolling hills. The wildlife is abundant, with hundreds of bird and animal species.

It's being developed tastefully and thoughtfully. Roads wind instead of cutting through at straight angles. I checked this place out for myself, of course, and we winded our way through internal roads that followed the contours of the land... roads lined with well-maintained flowers and grass areas.

Thought and work goes into these little things. That's why they are an important reflection on the developer. A communal pool and barbecue area with an infinity-type pool is complete. Nearby homes are in and more are near completion.

The deal I negotiated included this one: $51,000 for a 1.9-acre lot. That's 51% off the list price. In other words, this deal alone was worth $53,000 to anybody who grabbed it.

Given that math, I think we very reasonably could set the admission price for this International Real Estate Investment Forum at $5,000--and it would be worth every penny. After all, you could recoup that--and thousands of dollars more--on just ONE of the special deals you'll learn about.

But it won't cost you $5,000 to come. In fact, it won't even cost you half that. We wanted to make this International Real Estate Investment Forum as accessible as possible to as many readers as possible.

And so right now--through May 9, 2011, you'll pay just $1,295 $1,095 for a seat. (You save $200 when you register early, and you may be eligible for additional discounts as well, on top of that.) Your guest is welcome for a modest $895 $695 when you register by May 9.

The Secrets--and Access--that Can Change Your World

We've got a full schedule planned for you, and yes...we're mixing business with pleasure

You'll receive your conference materials when you check in with us on Thursday, June 9, between 4 PM and 6 PM. This will be followed by our special welcome cocktail party from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM in the networking and exhibit hall, where you'll have the opportunity to network and chat with the speakers and exhibitors as well as the other attendees.

The networking and exhibit room will open bright and early at 8:00 AM on Friday, June 10 (it remains open all day). General sessions will kick off promptly at 8:00 AM and go until about 12:30 PM...followed by an afternoon of breakout sessions until about 6:00 PM. Lifetime, Roundtable, RETA and World Club members are invited to join us for a special VIP event on Friday evening.

On Saturday, the networking room will open again at 8:00 AM and sessions will run between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM with general sessions in the morning followed by breakout sessions in the afternoon. You'll get more information in your confirmation letter and we'll send you a detailed schedule a week before the event.

On Saturday evening, we'll have our Farewell Cocktail Reception from about 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM and you'll have a final opportunity to make contacts, network and have a little fun!

Your ticket to this event includes not only formal presentations by all our speakers, but also small-group workshops they'll host.

In addition to that, I think one of the most valuable things you gain at a live event like this is the chance to rub elbows with your fellow readers who share your same interests. So we've worked some "social" time into the agenda as well.

  • We'll host two cocktail receptions where you can kick back, network, and enjoy yourself.
  • Naturally, coffee and snack breaks throughout the program.
  • And, of course, you have full access to our networking and exhibit hall, where you'll find incredible resources to help you put into action the plan that best fits your portfolio.

Plus, of course, this event also includes access for attendees to $7 million worth of special deals not available to the general public. Your running head start on profits...


This Event is Likely to Sell Out

I expect this International Real Estate Investment Forum to sell out--just like it did last year. (And remember--we're seeing deals this year that top what we had to share this time last year. So I expect an even greater response.)

Toronto is an easy, affordable hop. Because of that, however, I encourage you to reserve your place now, while seats are still available and you can still take advantage of the Early Bird Discount.

More and more people are coming to understand that in these uncertain economic times, having a portion of your nest egg outside the States is just plain common sense.

With the right international real estate plays, it can be easy to diversify--and position yourself for returns of 100%, 200%, and more... outside stocks, and outside the dollar.

This June in Toronto, we'll show you exactly how to do that. But we won't stop there. We're going to hand you $7 million worth of discounts on deals I like even at full-price.

So if you're ready to recover the ground your portfolio lost in the recent crash. If you're ready to have a safe hedge against volatile markets at home and an uncertain US dollar. If you're ready to enjoy a toe-hold overseas where your nest egg can grow and you can relax...

Then there's no more efficient, enjoyable, or affordable way to make that happen than to join me at our International Real Estate Investment Forum in Toronto, June 9-11, 2011.

Simply click below to put yourself on the attendee list. Or, if you prefer to register by phone or email, call tel. 1- 866-381-8446 (toll -free in the U.S. and Canada) or 1-410- 223- 2688 in Baltimore or send us a note here.

I hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Ronan McMahon

P.S. If you're on board with the idea of diversifying your portfolio (and I hope you are--for your portfolio's sake!)... then this event is for you.

That's because I and the other experts on hand will pass along to you the proven tools we use for finding, evaluating, and cashing in on real estate deals that can produce annual gains of 113%... 158%... 254%... or even more... outside of stocks, outside the States, and outside the dollar.

By the time our Toronto program comes to a close, you'll know what to look for on your own and how to decide (in an instant) whether an opportunity makes sense for you or not.

But we won't just send you off to fend for yourself. Instead, I'll hand you--on a silver platter--$7 million worth of discounts on what I think are the very best real estate deals on offer in the world today.

It means you get a running head start on gains. Because if you're getting in early and at a discount, say, on a deal the general public will have access to a few weeks later (but at a higher price), then you're ahead of the game from the get-go.

And that's exactly what this program is all about. It's about showing you how to sidestep the uncertain economy here at home and c

Pathfinder is in the business of recommending a wide range of real estate and relocation services from developers and lawyers to real estate agents and tax specialists, to name but a few. Pathfinder requires developers to meet basic criteria before bringing them to you. However, any vetting we do on projects or professionals should not be construed as a guarantee by Pathfinder. Remember, the value of your real estate purchase can go down as well as up; there are no guarantees that property values will rise.

Pathfinder is not responsible for the management or delivery of chill weekends. We bring these to you for informational purposes on behalf of our developer and broker partners. As with any other overseas trip, we advise that you purchase travel insurance. We always recommend strongly that buyers perform their own complete due diligence, use a qualified legal professional to help with real estate transactions and purchase title insurance. Should a reader decide to purchase a property from one of the developers/real estate agents Pathfinder covers, Pathfinder will receive a fee from the developer or real estate agent.
