Beating the Budget & Environmental Dilemma
While many may want to go and feel out these destinations before setting down roots staying in most hotels and tourist pits for several years in a row is anything but socially or eco-conscious, and certainly doesn’t provide that true home away from home or getaway feeling.
Those that haven’t completely unplugged yet, or have caught past episodes of reality TV shows like House Hunters International know that buying existing local properties or even investing in pre-construction or ‘off-plan’ developments has its issues too.
Existing buildings are often aged and will require a lot of investment to maintain or bring up to tastes, can have unreliable water and power sources and often just put escape artists in tourism hot spots or expat hubs. Buying ‘off-plan’ abroad can be very tricky with financing unreliable and no guarantees of completion, and little recourse if it isn’t.
