What the experts say about Cape Verde

Property Investor News:

"Investment Property in Cape Verde is currently one of the best locations worldwide to buy property when looking for a good ROI (Return on Investment). It’s clear to see the potential of these islands and as soon as Cape Verde becomes a mainstream holiday destination the price of property there will almost certainly increase drastically."

Expedia.co.uk:

A survey conducted by Expedia, one of the largest web based holiday companies, recently declared Cape Verde the number one destination for British tourists this year. Elyas Chowdhury, marketing director of Expedia.co.uk observed, "Our customers prefer to head off the beaten track rather than continue to go back to traditional tourist hot spots".

He also said "all-year-round sunshine, white beaches and the Creole culture had helped to make Cape Verde the top location for Britain's most jet-setting tourists."

On 7 March 2003, the world football body FIFA announced that the tournament would be held in Brazil, South America for the first time since Argentina hosted the 1978 FIFA World Cup, in line with its policy of rotating the right to host the World Cup amongst different confederations.

The country’s football stars from Pele to Ronaldinho are known throughout the world for their depth of artistry and skill in the beautiful game and the Brazilian team is holds the accolade for being the world’s only five-time champion squad.

Mario Zagallo, former Brazilian coach, said, “In seven years Brazil will have new stadiums, we will fix those which need to be fixed, and Brazil is the only candidate. FIFA has been here, they have been to the North East and saw it is possible to be done. I have no doubt the 2014 World Cup will be in Brazil.

Brazil is to spend $1.2 billion renovating its stadiums for the 2014 World Cup finals including rebuilding four stadia whilst the remaining 6 would undergo substantial renovation including the infamous Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro, which hosted the 1950 World Cup final and has already undergone recent reforms at a cost 200 million reais ($115 million). Economist Carlos Langoni estimates it will cost at least 6 billion dollars with the vast majority being spent on The remainder would be earmarked for infrastructure: roads, railways, airport modernization, telecommunications, power supply networks, hotels, etc.

SIPP property investment advice - UK and overseas property

2009-07-23T07:35:00.000-07:00

Investment experts to give you the help and information you need to guide you through your options. They will assess your current funds and then deal with transferring any “frozen” pensions from previous employment, businesses and/or funds from other personal pensions. All you have to do is select the property you want in your pension fund. You can also “club” together with other investors to jointly purchase one, or several, of our properties.

Contributions into a SIPP attract relief at an individual’s highest rate of tax. If a higher rate taxpayer wished to invest £100,000, it would only cost them £60,000 after receiving all of their tax relief.

A SIPP is also able to borrow money against its assets. As much as 50% of the net value of a SIPP can be borrowed to increase the funds for your property investment. So, as an example, a fund that has a value of £150,000 can be increased by 50% or £75,000 to make a total fund of £225,000 available to invest in property.

Mexico property for sale continues to attract investors

2009-06-19T04:42:00.000-07:00

Mexico has benefited from steady growth in real estate prices over the past few years and there is still definite potential for profit and income from the Mexican real estate sector based on it being a superb destination for retirees, second homers and tourists.

Since the economic turmoil experienced by Mexico in the mid 1990's following the devaluation of the Mexican currency, Mexico’s government has worked hard to establish a strong and sustainable economy and to promote and actively encourage foreign investment into many sectors including tourism and real estate - all of which further adds to the grear appeal of Mexico for international real estate investors and purchasers.

Mexico does well economically speaking from international property interest already – it welcomes a lot of North American retirees who choose to live full time in Mexico and it is welcoming increasing tourism from North of the border as well and with the release at the end of 2006 of Donald Trump’s Mexican showcase development in Baja came a resurgence of serious interest from investors and buyers from across the world for property in Mexico which has set the stage for a strong period of growth.
