Island Life The island of Ambergris Caye is one of the best places in the world to live. English is the official language. The money is 2 Belize to 1 US. The people are friendly; there is no racial tension or rampant crime. It is only two hours from the states. Canada and Europe will soon have a direct flight. Belize has just extended the runway to accommodate these flights. Once you get to the island you will travel by foot, bicycle, boat or golf cart. Taxicabs are also available. We have some of the best restaurants to choose from. From fast takeout like traditional rice and beans with chicken or pork for US$4.00 to fine dining for that special occasion. There are about four major grocery stores where you can find most popular cereals to TV dinners, and there are plenty small family owned stores across the island to shop. We
have many services here that most cities in the US don’t have from
free beer delivery, and soda to even chicken. Most areas have cable/
DSL, water, sewer and trash pickup. In areas where city water is not
available the use of septic tanks and cisterns are used. Satellite
dishes are used where cable and DSL or not offered.
If you want to go out for a drink the island has a great
nightlife. You can hear live music seven nights a week and play bingo on
Tuesdays. You can find daily yoga classes an art groups. Maybe you’ll
be the next to bring something new to the island. |

Why Belize The secret is out, the real estate market in Belize is doing very well. Timing is everything in the real estate market and there is money to be made here. Belize has no capital gains or inheritance tax and off shore banking has always been popular. Belize is the only English speaking country in Central America. Belize joined
CARICOM in 1974, Caribbean Community and Common
Market. The 15 members of CARICOM have decided to integrate from a
common market to a single market. The CARICOM Single
Market and Economy (CSME) Investing in Belize is popular with foreigners now that the real estate market and economy are doing poor in the U. S. Investors from the states have shown a lot of interest. Belize is a member of the British Common Wealth, which means British law applies and all contracts are in English. Foreigners have every right and are encouraged to buy property and get residence in Belize. Because of the British common law the property buying process is easy to follow and fully disclosed. Over the next 12 years 27% of the U.S. population will retire. That means 77 million baby boomers will be looking for a place to retire. A large percentage will be relocating to the Caribbean. What you should buy depends on your investment portfolio. It could be an oceanfront luxury condo or beachfront lot. You might want to supplement your income by investing in a small established business or start one of your own like a hotel or restaurant. I see many people running eBusinesses from here and living the dream. Keep in mind when buying real estate here in Belize there is a government transfer fee of 5%. Other countries are much higher, Jamaica is 20%. |
