Learn How I Made My First Investment in BELIZE Real Estate! Insider tips from an expert

In today's video Will Mitchell takes you on a tour to see how he made his fist ever Belize real estate investment on the island of Ambergris Caye! If you're looking for a way to invest in Belize real estate, my recommendation is to buy a pre-fab house. This is a great way to get started with investing in Belize real estate, and it's a reliable, low-risk investment. Plus, you can always rent out the house if you decide you don't want to move out of Belize.

Premier Homes is located in the Spanish Look out area of Belize on the Western side of the country and it is famous for its mennonite population who builds fantastic hardwood pre fabs homes. This is a great video for new real estate investors!

An Update on Life in Belize in 2022

Dan Prescher sits down with Shane Kenny to discuss the current news updates in Belize. Shane and his wife Heather moved to Placencia three years ago and opened the Placencia Beach Club. This gives him a great vantage point on what’s happening in the country.

Shane talks about some exciting flight developments including a new Alaska Air service running directly from LAX to Belize. The airline also offers a direct route from Seattle to Belize during the high season. Along with this, Air Canada and Westjet will shortly resume direct flights from Canada. These flights are helping to make Belize more accessible to North Americans and the country is already experiencing an extended tourism season—visitor numbers remain high well after the peak season is over.

Digital nomads have cause to celebrate with the introduction of a Belizean digital nomad visa, or as it’s known, a “work from where you vacation” visa. The visa allows potential expats to “try out” the country for six months before making a firm commitment, without the need for stamp renewals or work permits. Shane discusses why he believes this is so beneficial for expats who can now get a feel for Belize before making a permanent move.

Become an IL subscriber to hear from expats who have already made the move. In these Quarterly Digests, our live overseas experts share their insider secrets, how-to advice, and real-world recommendations for saving money, making money, living better, embracing adventure, and enjoying life more overseas:

Expats in Belize: My Home in Ambergris Caye

IL Belize Correspondent Laura Diffendal takes you on a tour of her home in Ambergris Caye.

Ambergris Caye is Belize’s most popular tourist and expat haven. It is commonly referred to as the “Isla Bonita”, this term of endearment becoming popular after 1987 when Madonna released a song about the island. Stunning turquoise seascapes surround this Caribbean island. Looking out to sea you’re greeted by quintessential Caribbean scenes.

Beyond its natural beauty and outdoor activities, this island offers Belize’s most sophisticated lifestyle. Combining a casual beach life with upscale amenities, it’s no wonder Ambergris has become so popular.
