A Peek Into the Nicaraguan Real Estate Market
Investing in land in Nicaragua may not be quite as profitable as it was in the past, but can still be a huge bargain, especially if you plan to eventually move there to live. The country of Nicaragua is incredible, with its tropical climate, alluring beaches, historic colonial cities, and lofty mountains and volcanoes. Tourism is alive and well in the area, crime is low, and flights to and from the US are frequent.
Nicaraguan acreage can be considered a good buy for many reasons. The Foreign Investment Law gives equal footing to indigenous and foreign investors. There are distinct benefits for retirees living there. Inflation is low, and the country is investing in infrastructure, including the recent upgrade and modernization of the Managua International Airport. Plus, the splendor of the country, combined with its colonial history and architecture, make it very appealing to investors.
Despite the pros, 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 considerations are made for businesses. Taxes are still paid, but primarily to the municipality in which the land is located. Many well-known title insurance companies are now making their presence felt in the country. This, combined with relaxed limitations on finance options, is making it easier to buy and own land in Nicaragua, but it is still not an easy process.
