Investment Pros and Cons for Nicaraguan Real Estate
Investing in property in Nicaragua may not be quite as lucrative as it was in the past, but can still be a fantastic bargain, especially if you plan to eventually move there to live. The country of Nicaragua is remarkable, with its tropical climate, alluring beaches, historic colonial cities, and towering mountains and volcanoes. Tourism is booming in the country, crime is low, and flights to and from the US are numerous.
Nicaraguan real estate can be considered a savvy buy for many reasons. The Foreign Investment Law gives equal consideration to indigenous and foreign investors. There are unique advantages for retirees living there. Inflation is low, and the nation is investing in infrastructure, including the recent upgrade and modernization of the Managua International Airport. Plus, the splendor of the nation, combined with its colonial history and architecture, make it very alluring to investors.
Despite the advantages, there are still some potential cons to buying Nicaraguan land or real estate. Legally, owning property in your own name is the safest bet, although allowances are made for businesses. Taxes are still paid, but primarily to the municipality in which the property is located. Many well-known title insurance companies are now making their presence felt in Nicaragua. This, combined with easing restrictions on finance options, is making it easier to buy and own land in Nicaragua, but it is still not an easy process.
