California Dreaming in the Heart of Central America

Live Report from the Live and Invest in Nicaragua Conference
August 8, 2005

Editor's Note: IL's Live and Invest in Nicaragua Conference is actually finished, but due to the technical difficulties of broadcasting from the jungle we weren't able to continue our updates until now. Because we want you to have the benefit of these on-the-scene updates, we've extended our coverage (and our special conference package offer) through tomorrow, Tuesday, August 9. Read on for more details.

Dear International Living Reader,

IL can change your life!

About 18 months ago, Hinkle Smith came to Nicaragua for his first visit. The occasion was an IL Live and Invest in Nicaragua Conference similar to this one. That changed everything. The opportunities in Nicaragua floored Hinkle. He flew home. Sold his house. And moved to San Juan del Sur. For 15 months, Nicaragua has been his new home.

"It was a lot easier to make the transition than I expected," told us. "I love it here."

At IL's just-concluded conference Hinkle was a speaker and exhibitor with his business partner, Greg Branford. Greg is a Floridian who relocated to Nicaragua four years ago. He and Hinkle Smith started Water's Edge Real Estate in San Juan del Sur, the "Malibu" of Nicaragua. San Juan is THE beach town on the Pacific coast. These friends love fishing, surfing, and exploring the coast of Nicaragua. But they both agree the area's best resource is the rich local culture and the warm, friendly people who live here.

The living is great here according to these two. "People are building world-class dream homes with incredible views," Hinkle reports.

Spacious homes with Nicaraguan beachfront locations and views that would cost millions back home, sell for far less than a dingy, viewless studio apartment in San Diego. In Nicaragua "California Dreaming" is affordable for most American homeowners. The median home price in California today is $542,000. In San Diego it's $614,000. In Malibu the median home price is $1.5 million. And those are beachfront home prices.

The median home price in the U.S. today is $208,500, but anything--even the tiny run-down studio apartment on California's Pacific coast--could cost you a million dollars more than that… but probably a lot more! A nice big new beachfront home on the ocean, or even with a view of it, could cost you millions. But in Nicaragua $200,000 can easily put you in an oceanfront home.

The "California Dream" Is Unaffordable Today--Even for most Californians!

What do I mean, California Dream? You know, shorts-and-shirt weather all year, sunshine living on the beach, big waves to surf, your own swimming pool and hot tub…

Long before the Beach Boys and the Mama's and the Papa's planted California dreams in the impressionable minds of young baby boomers, people have yearned for living at the beach. Unfortunately, for nine out of 10 American's that dream is priced far from the reality of their finances. That's exactly why Nicaragua is so alluring. You can make your California dreams come true here. And that's exactly what many IL readers are doing this week.

Here you can take your surfboard off your veranda… walk past a few palm trees… jump in the surf… and ride gigantic surf breaks to your heart's desire. And you don't have to be rich to do it. This week I've met some Californians who came to the heart of Central America because this is the place where they can realize their California dreams.

Iguana Golf Condos offers surfers and golfers an easy way to experience their bliss affordably. Great surf breaks in front… and a nine-hole golf course already under construction in back (with plans to expand to 18)… and condos here are incredibly affordable.

This week conference attendees have the opportunity to meet with and hear from over a dozen top developers with stunning coastal and beachfront projects.

It's a Small World After All

With modern transportation and communication networks keeping you connected, Nicaragua is closer than you think. IL readers gathering at Lake Apoyo for the conference are exploring the possibilities that Nicaragua is the right place to pursue their dreams.

A computer programming specialist I met here has the luxury to be able to work from anywhere in the world that offers him a high-speed Internet connection. He has worked all over the world: Europe, Asia, Latin America, and more.

Though he admitted that Vietnam is his dream location, he conceded that it just too remote. But from Managua he can fly to Houston or Miami in less than three hours or Madrid in about nine hours. So the "Riviera Pacifica" appeals to him. He's selling his house in the San Diego area and relocating here.

A California graphic artist sold her agricultural property and has invested in a few properties along Nicaragua's Pacific coast. And she's looking for more and planning to build her dream home here. Your money will go a long way here in the Heart of Central America.

The conference is the perfect opportunity to meet expats, talk to developers, and visit the projects all in one simple visit.

Each development offers something a little different. For example, Gran Pacifica is a planned community on the Pacific coast only an hour from Managua. It boasts underground utilities and fiber optic cable to every home in the development, offering Internet access with more capability than most Americans have in their neighborhoods back home. Lots are available now for as little as $37,750 and completed custom homes with 21st century infrastructure for under $120,000.

Villas de Palermos in San Juan del Sur offers condominium villas situated above the beach town with million dollar views of the crescent shaped bay. It's only minutes from restaurants and bars on the beach. Cruise ships arrive here weekly. By Nicaraguan standard it's a bustling beachfront town. Each villa features all the first world infrastructure you'd find in a new U.S. development. But… it's priced well under the median cost of a U.S. home. The villas start as low as $159,000, furnished and ready to go (read on for more details…)

Here's Your Inside Scoop from this Eye-Opening IL Gathering…

My name is Thom Hickling. Here's my second report from the Live and Invest in Nicaragua Conference.

Please forgive me for the delay in the report. I had some technical difficulties with my computer and the Internet connection. But it's all squared away now. Tomorrow you'll receive my final report from this conference.

Even though I've visited Nicaragua before, I'm learning a lot too. The richness of Nicaragua's natural resources and the rapid growth of tourism suggests a bright future. Plus, I love practicing my limited Spanish skills with the friendly locals working at Apoyo Villas and Resort. I'm happy to share with you some highlights this event--which is one of the most informative, insightful, and (hopefully) profitable IL events ever.

A few of the attendees that I've met are returnees to the Nicaragua conference. They are unanimous in expressing amazement at how many new opportunities that IL has uncovered. And how quickly Nicaragua is making progress, with new roads, new shopping centers, new restaurants… and new developments.

There's a lot of interest in the condo developments--a new stage in this Nicaraguan beachfront boom -- because they overcome many hassles of ownership for people who don't want to live here full-time. Condos are a fresh concept in Nicaragua. With condos, construction, maintenance, and management are all taken care of for you. Owning here is becoming much more inviting for many readers. At least that's the conference buzz. Click here to order your Live and Invest In Nicaragua Conference Special.

Boom Time In Nicaragua!

We heard from Raul Calvet, the president of Calvet & Associates, the leading Tourism Investment and marketing consultant company in Nicaragua.

Its latest consulting contracts were for the development of the new 57-million-dollar Santo Domingo shopping center in Managua and various other projects. Raul is advising several International Living subscribers about their investments in Nicaragua's booming tourism industry. His company advises the majority of residential and tourism development projects on the Pacific coast, Granada, and Managua.

Raul taught us much about the boom in Nicaragua, a country that is not only the largest in Central America, but at its center geographically.

There's been positive growth in agriculture, construction, mining, finance, retail, and tourism. The financial sector is the fastest growing sector of the economy, now with $2 billion in deposits. Tourism is the third fastest growing sector.

The economy should grow even more quickly according to Raul, thanks to the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) signed a week ago in the U.S. It's likely to be approved by Central American countries in the next 10 days.

Nine years ago, Raul started working alongside IL with what was then called "investor tourists." He said, "It all started with Rancho Santana. After that everything else started growing! The growth is so strong that the Pacific developers started our own developers' association, Riviera del Pacifico. The result of these efforts is what you see today. The growth in the tourist industry in Nicaragua is faster than anywhere else in Central America."

Because of the efforts of the association, since February 2005, $40 million has been invested in beach developments and 11,000 jobs created, according to Raul. And adventure tourism growing faster than it did in Costa Rica. It's also moving more quickly to appeal to a more affluent clientele. Business and corporate services are increasing quickly too.

Basically all of this started with the new incentive laws back in September 1999, tax reform in May 2003, and the tourism law in July 2004--offering legal protection for tourists.

The Amazing Benefits of Law 306

Raul explained the benefits of Law 306. (You'll find it all explained the Nicaragua: The Owners Manual.) Law 306 provides tax incentives, marketing support, concession programs, and special development zones. There are two basic incentives: No sales tax or import taxes while building, and no income tax or property tax during the first 10 years of operation.

Law 306 applies to:

Big projects like hotels, condo hotels, apartment hotels, time-sharing, motels and more.

Smaller projects like water transportation (boat rentals, fishing tours), air transportation (small plane and helicopter services), ground transportation (tour operations, car and scooter rentals, food and beverage services, and much more).

It also applies to investment-related infrastructure and services… parks, airports, arts, crafts, music, etc. Since Law 306 started it's generated about $300 million in investments in 297 approved projects.

Raul also assured us that the new coastal highway is going to be built in the next three years in three phases. No one knows exactly when and where it will start. But it will connect from Costa Rica to the beaches west of Managua. That should really speed up the progress of development.

Nicaraguans Are Helping Drive Responsible Development

I was impressed that at this conference I met more Nicaraguan natives involved in new developments. You could feel their love for their homeland and their desire to see the environment protected as their country is developed.

Lori and Jorge Estrada are the developers of Cumbres de Montecristo, and an exclusive oceanfront residential community with a conference center about an hour from Managua. They are building their own home there and plan to live there permanently. That is why they care so much about how the property is developed.

Jorge Estrada is the great-great-grandson of Jose Mara Estrada, President of Nicaragua in 1855. William Walker's men assassinated Jose Mara in 1956 (see my first conference report for details about Walker). Jose Dolores Estrada, Jorge's great-great-uncle, continued the battle as first general and defeated Walker. Those two men are recognized as fathers of the Nicaraguan Independence. The proud Estrada family has been closely involved with progress of the nation ever since.

The Estrada's are the owners and the developers. They take great pride in their plan. Lori is an osteopath in Managua. She and Jorge have run a medical clinic there for eight years.

Insights into Nicaraguan Healthcare

Lori, a medical doctor and self-professed type-A perfectionist from New York, talked to our group about the Nicaraguan medical system. The health care facilities in Managua have the latest in medical equipment, like CAT scans, and are pretty much set up to handle whatever healthcare needs you might have.

Just like in U.S., there are good and bad doctors. But doctors in Nicaragua are less regulated and freer to practice medicine as they see fit. There are lots of good physicians in this country and many doctors were trained in U.S. and then returned home to practice. Lori will happily recommend someone she knows is tried, true, and responsible.

She said, "I get this question a lot: 'My wife has prescription for 'fill-in-the-blank,' can I buy this in Nicaragua?' She explained that you could buy Cipro, in a box of 20, for $5. It could cost $150-$200 in the U.S. And name brand products here are in fact name brand products. There's no difference except the price."

A Little International Romance!

Because of the Estrada family's political activism Jorge's family moved to the U.S. in 1979. They had also lived in the U.S. in the 50s and 60's for a while. While living in the U.S. in 1983, Jorge had a plane accident. He had to go to the doctor and was treated by Lori. The perky red-headed physician immediately enchanted him. Because of her, he hung out around the hospital every day for weeks after the accident. One day she had a flat tire and found him waiting in the parking lot. He offered to fix it for her. After that rescue, the romance began.

In 1997, he was the first member of his family to move back to Nicaragua. He and Lori opened the Estrada-Shealy Pain Clinic in suburban Managua, Las Colinas. It's a premier class orthopedic clinic with state-of-the-art technology.

Through community outreach programs they have developed, Jorge and Lori were awarded the Diploma of Honor in 2003 from the Fire Department of Managua, and in 2004, the Medal of Amistad from the National Police for their extraordinary community service.

Jorge and Lori have always had a passion for real estate and lands of different kinds. They managed several projects in the U.S. and Nicaragua. A 500-acre project, Cumbres Montecristo, is their most ambitious project. They have addressed every detail to ensure that the residents of Cumbres Montecristo will enjoy all the world-class amenities, comforts and security possible

Lots go from about $40,000 to about $180,000 depending on size, views, and proximity to the beaches. The price to build starts at $60 to $70 per square foot. Homes will be in the Spanish colonial, Mediterranean, or Mexican style. Click here to order your Live and Invest In Nicaragua Conference Special.

These Are Just The Highlights… And It's Great Fun Too!

I hope that I haven't gone on too long… but these conferences are just jammed full with interesting information and even more fascinating people. And the opportunities are exciting. But did I also mention that it's a great fun too?

In the evening we went to the Granada colonial home of developer Ted Curmi. He invited is to his home for cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and a chance to mingle. He also hired a band for our entertainment, Grupo Cocibolca. Cocibolca is the Nicaraguan name of what we call Lake Nicaragua, the 10th largest fresh water lake in the world. Granada is built on its shores. Cocibolca is also the style of Latin music synonymous with Granada.

The group featured four guitars, an upright bass, and an accordion. The lead singer's strong voice easily filled the grand courtyard an its gardens inside the 100-year-old mansion. When the rest of the hombres joined in the chorus it was clear that no amplification is needed to stir the soul.

These informal get-togethers are some my favorite times. IL readers are a remarkable group. Unfortunately for me, while all the fun was going on I was sitting at a large dining room table under a fabulous chandelier hanging from the 20-foot ceiling, working on this report for you. Oh well, please don't feel sorry for me…

There's Nothing Stereotypical About This Group…

What kind of people come to Nicaragua looking for 21st century opportunities?

There are couples and singles, retired, employed, and entrepreneurs, young and young at heart… all looking for a new challenge, adventure or perhaps to reinvent themselves. Some are ambitious young men looking for opportunity to make their way in the world. Others are boomers preparing for a new kind of retirement. I met three generations of women: a daughter, mother and grandmother that came to the conference together looking to fulfill a family dream. This is everyone's chance to chat and share ideas. You can't beat it.

Although he didn't mention it during the reception, Ted has partnered with another leading Nicaraguan family to create Villas de Palermo in San Juan del Sur. I like this town a great deal. It's where Nicaraguans go to the beachfront for holidays and vacations. This small, but spirited town boasts a lovely harbor dotted with sailboats, a few yachts and fishing boats. It's also where the cruise ships land.

The tourist potential is greatly limited by the lack of hotel rooms. In the entire town, the biggest beach town in the country, there aren't enough rooms to allow the passengers of a tour bus to all spend the night.

Villas de Palermo is a condo hotel project featuring 50 Italian style white stucco villas, each with a panoramic view of the charming bay. These condos are perfect for people who like living near a beach, but only want to spend two or three months of the year in Nicaragua. They will be rented as hotel rooms and help facilitate the growth of tourism in the area. I like this plan. There will be a clubhouse, pool, restaurant, and other facilities shared by the condos that will also be part of the hotel complex. It will offer a new level of service and standard of luxury for the area. Fully furnished condos are available for as little as $179,000.

The villas overlook the historic Palermo farm. It offers an equestrian center, hiking, canopy tours, and guided horseback riding. The town offers surfing, fishing, sailing, dining, bars, and discos. You can have quiet privacy in your villa and the entertainment of the premier Nicaraguan beachfront town too. Who says you can't have it all?

There's Only One Day Left!

Undoubtedly, before this conference closes, many attendees will ink deals that will open the doors for idyllic retirement homes, promising investment properties, dreamy second homes…for a perfect escape from the pressure of the rat race back home.

It wouldn't surprise me if millions of dollars in property changes hands in the next few days, because there's nowhere in the world that you can get so much beauty and value for your money.

Some of the attendees here have already purchased property in Nicaragua and now they've come back for a second or third helping…and during this conference we'll be presented with a remarkable smorgasbord of offerings--something for nearly every taste and budget.

Unfortunately, unless you are one of the attendees reading this from the wireless Internet connection in our exhibit hall, you are missing out on this unique meeting. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you will miss out on everything that will be revealed during these three profitable days of meetings.

For savvy travelers gathered here, these may well prove to be three of the most important days of their lives. Futures will be changed. Retirement plans will be funded. In some ways the excitement will be over, but in other ways…it will only be the beginning. That's because for many attendees the groundwork for starting a new life overseas or even building a fortune in international real estate will be laid…and the enjoyment and profits will be coming in the months and years ahead.

The attendees have paid as much as $895 to attend this conference--and that excluding airfare and various travel costs. From what I can see on the roster, it will prove to be well worth every penny… if you could be here.

Too Much is Happening to Report it ALL!

It would be impossible for me to write up everything that is going on here at Norome today and for the next two days. There's simply too much happening too quickly for me to be able to share every deep insight into specific strategies and opportunities.

However, I have some great news for you. The entire Live and Invest in Nicaragua Conference will be taped. And you can have full access to the recordings online.

The complete forum recordings can be yours for a fraction of what it would cost to join us here. When you listen you'll…

Announcing the Publication of International Living's "Nicaragua: The Owners Manual 2005"

Our editorial team in Waterford, Ireland, and our on-site experts in Nicaragua have collaborated to create our newest edition of Nicaragua: The Owners Manual 2005. This is your complete guide to the opportunities available to you today in Nicaragua. So much has happened so quickly that this new publication has been significantly revamped. It's not just that the facts and figures have been updated--as they have, of course. But it's also filled with previously unpublished insights into lifestyle, adventure, and investing in Nicaragua.

This e-mail is actually the first time this ground breaking new publication has ever been mentioned publicly. You could call this the "pre-release" announcement.

At the Live and Invest in Nicaragua Conference the 2005 edition of Nicaragua: The Owners Manual will be officially announced for the first time. It's so new that there are no updated promotional brochures or material for it prepared, but I have seen one of the first proof copies, hot-off-the-presses.

This is no ordinary book. In fact, there is no other publication in the world like it. It will never make the New York Times Bestseller list. This is specialized information for a unique group of forward thinking individuals.

In it you'll discover…

** "ONE OF THE 10 BEST PLACES IN THE WORLD TO RETIRE," says U.S. News and World Report. Find out why!
** What makes Nicaragua the new "WILD WEST OF THE AMERICAS"… an entrepreneur's Eden…an adventurer's wonderland…offering to those smart enough to find their way here opportunities, benefits, and freedoms long since vanished from the American West.
** How its new market-reform government has long cast off any socialist ways and transformed the nation into a FREE-THINKER'S HAVEN…hiding some of the greatest land deals of the decade.
** COASTAL AND NICARAGUAN BEACHFRONT PROPERTY BARGAINS that are so cheap you'd be crazy not to snap them up… including beachfront lots for as little as $40,000…and island homes for as little as $60,000!
** FREEDOM FROM HIGH TAXES…freedom from million-dollar lawsuits…freedom from reams of red tape and paperwork. (In fact, the economic climate is so free here; you don't even need a permit to build a home or go hunting. You can ride horse back along the beaches, and no one will object. You can start a business, and the government will reward you with tax breaks.)
** BOOMING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES that require absolute minimum start-up costs…and that come with astounding benefits, like 10-year tax exemptions…access to an honest and hardworking labor pool that's willing to work for under a dollar an hour…absolute minimal red tape…even free international marketing support!
** ATTRACTIVE RETIREMENT PROGRAMS designed to seduce adventurous retirees…offering them tax breaks on their offshore income…their cars…their imported goods. And the requirements are easy. Fill out a few forms…prove as little as $400 offshore income a month…and they'll roll out the red carpet for you.

Because many years of research and hundreds of thousands of miles of investigative travel have gone into this one-of-a-kind publication, it's not going to be cheap. When it's released after the conference it will sell by itself for only $69. Quite a value when you consider that this information is not available to individuals anywhere else…at any price…whatsoever. It's totally unique.

That's what makes it so valuable. Nicaragua: The Owners Manual will give you an edge over others that's simply unavailable any other way. And better yet… you can get an even better deal now…during this conference.

A "Astonishing" Opportunity for You to Have It All…
