This seems to discuss the basics:Bahamas Real EstateIn many Caribbean countries, it is very difficult for non-residents, non-citizens to own real estate, but it looks like Bahamas is less burdensome than most.  

I am an investor (with other partners) in Mexico, on the Caribbean coast.

The rear addition which faces south in south florida was ridiculously hot.wound up putting in two mini splits.cost mini split x 2 840.00Parts and labor which included 2 30 amp fuses, wire and breaker box 1600 installed.way more efficient than my two condenser/ handler units.I saw the electric bill drop and tenants are happy.look up McCool mini splits on YouTube.I figure if it can keep a house Ice Cold in the Caribbean why not Florida. 

@David Begley  we love cabo its super easy for us to get there being that we don't have to go through a time zone.. and people in LA and San Deigo its a no brainer 2 hour flight.. kind of like going from Miami to any of the Caribbean islands.  

@Dhaval Taylor I like the idea of Airbnb because of being able to cook my own meals, more space and living like a local (especially when traveling to the Caribbean) but feel more secure in a hotel since it’s an established brand.

But when things go south, past the sunny Caribbean skies and beautiful South America and settle in in Antarctica, where it's cold and barren...

Hi Everyone ,Let me first introduce myself to the community.My name in Kenrick from Aruba(the caribbean), I am a young entrepreneur on the island also involved in real estate.In this discussion I will elaborate more about types of real estate investments in Aruba & where I see opportunities.Aruba is a part of the Netherlands, but still we are autonomous, this being said the Netherlands still has some responsibilities with Aruba and other caribbean islands.Aruba has its own currency & its own government.For more info on Aruba: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArubaReal estate in Aruba:Arubas real estate I would describe as a strong market, we have seen only growth in real estate prices this after more then 20 years after a market correction due to the closing of a refinery leading to job loss and Aruban citizens migrating to other island.Aruba in the past years have seen major condo projects & is still being invested primarly from Venezuelan investors with there condominium projects.Property land prices have been rising as supply does remain short of the demand of houses.Land:In Aruba if you want to build your own house, 2 ways you could do this either buy a property land or a government owned land leased to you.Property land being the most expensive(most valueble) & government owned land being the cheapest  with restrictions are still available depending on size average size needed is 300 sq. meters or more.Housing projects is still a big business because of supply and demand, dividing big pieces of property land and developing them into housing project is a good business with draw back in regards to getting permission from government departments, must have a concrete/paved road, infrastructure in place all expenses for the real estate investors costing time & money with could lead into a delay of a year or more.Opportunity:Opportunity to buy either a big piece or a small piece of land which could easily be divided can easily double your money in 3 to 6 months time.

Caribbean Wawrzyniak (cool name by the way),if you are waiting for quality properties to be found on Zilliow or any other public App or website,you are not even gonna get off the bench let alone play the real estate game with the rest of us in SoCal.Bu the time you see it,I have already meet the seller,inspected the property,and made an offer.Your agent is ducking you,they simply have nothing to tell you because the rest of us got there first.How?
