Investment InsightThe Reality of Real Estate Investment Viability in Nicaragua
The "wait and see" attitude is not wise for those investors who take the time to see the true picture of an opportunity. While the "herd" sits back because they hear a name they associate with negative connotations the educated investor should look to true indicators of the investment climate - not a name or face. There are countries all over the world, on nearly every continent, that are ruled by "unpopular" people - even communists - Yikes! But yet billions of dollars are still flowing into these international markets as fast as "big money" can get in. Can anyone say "China"? These investors see the value BEYOND the face of the country and these investors will do well. Just don't manufacture any contaminated toothpaste! One thing I look at when studying a real estate investment is the economy of that area. Nicaragua's local economy is thriving. Why? Because infrastructure is going in, consumption is on the rise, the market is expanding, the middle class is growing and more people are working. A little tid bit that people forget is that pre-revolutionary Nicaragua had the strongest economy in Central America. The reason for this is plentiful resources, temperate weather, excellent location and a strong workforce. Well guess what? These resources are still here and they are quickly being put back into place within the world market. Power plants, roads, telecommunication expansion and trade agreements are being implemented daily in Nicaragua. Analysis of the "potential economy" here in Nicaragua far exceeds the potential of all other Central American countries. I will always bet on the ugly horse with endurance and strength over the pretty horse with the fancy name and colorful saddle, in the end my winnings will always be greater. Nicaragua is my horse and for good reason! The reality of Nicaragua's current investment climate is as clear as the water on it's coastlines. Big money (and smart money) is here and bank deposits are increasing daily. Now is the wise time to be investing here because the herd is sitting back debating. Increased appreciation can be obtained by those who study the reality and do not get mixed up in misperceptions and hype. Carlos Pellas, one of the wealthiest and most respected businessmen in Nicaragua announced 7 days ago that his $350 Million Pacific Coast resort development will break ground in 60 days. Does this sound like worry coming from a man who can afford to "wait and see" if he wanted to? No, this is a wise decision on his part because he is taking advantage of those who are going to sit back and debate and by the time they are convinced of Nicaragua's viability his bottom line went up even more! WISE! Do yourself a favor, do some "reality research", talk to experienced people who are actually working and investing in Nicaragua and for God's sake don't let the press dictate your future.

I have heard it called the "Ortega Factor" and several other names but I am personally not buying it. Sure the market in Nicaragua has settled some since our friend Daniel's unexpected victory last year but this is no indicator of investment climate viability. The resulting hesitance by some investors is purely a matter of misperception and herd mentality and those "in the know" realize how good this makes Nicaragua's real estate market right now. Why?

Have you ever dreamed of being a coffee baron or do you long for a nice piece of land that is producing annual income for you while at the same time improving our planet AND gaining appreciation? Finca Java, a very unique and forward thinking development project created by Cristobal Robertson, can provide this for you. Currently, 5 acre hacienda parcels are available for around $50K and these parcels are planted in coffee and precious hardwoods to produce income in perpetuity but they also allow room for a nice home in the Lake Apanas area and many other great features. The coffee is 100% maintained as part of the community and each year when it is harvested the owner of each parcel shares in the revenues from his parcel. These parcels are located within a 240 acre project directly on the shores of Lake Apanas. The infrastructure is in, the coffee is planted and being improved and the plans are in place for construction to begin on the boutique hotel and fishing lodge on the shores of the lake. This is a very unique investment opportunity and with the road improvements and power generation going in all around the immediate area of this project future appreciation projections look incredible.
