"Off-Market" Real Estate Deals

Regular Buyers Will Never See

This June Only, You Can Access Huge Savings…Get

Preferential Terms…and Secure Potentially Big Profits in

the Best Undervalued Property Markets Overseas…

The catch? You Have to Keep It Quiet.

Dear Reader,

What if you could get a $103,000 lot overlooking the Caribbean—for just

$52,000?

Water views on one side and long, green valley vistas on the other. A lot

every bit as nice as the neighbors'—nicer than some of them—only you'd

secure yours for half the going rate.

You'd be ahead of the game from the get-go…

Or how about a 7.7% discount on the official price list in a successful, high-

end beach development? I'm talking about some of the best stretches of sand

south of the U.S.—with palms, jade-colored water, a golf course…and an

upscale community that's already proven. Earlier phases here sold out

quickly, and property values are poised to increase.

This is a smart play, even at full fare. But you could be in for below list price.

Plus, in addition, you could leverage your position with a modest $5,000 down

payment and no-interest financing. An arrangement not available to the

general public.

Or what would you say to a 15% discount on the launch price of a beachfront

condo in the hottest real estate market in South America? Plus you could be

in with a down payment of as little as $725 and payments of less than $1,000

a month during the build period…

Again, this is in a place that makes smart sense, even at full price.

(The proof: At the official public launch for that last deal, 200 people put their

names on the registration list, hoping for a cancellation. But "my" insiders

were already in…and had their choice of the best units.)

These are real examples of what you call "off market" deals. Deals readers

like you have taken advantage of. But deals you couldn't walk in off the street

and access.

Well-connected insiders take advantage of arrangements like these all the

time.

Only thing is, with "insider" bargains like

these you have to keep them to yourself.

You can't brag about the deal you got.

That's the essence of it. Huge savings,

potentially big profits…but you keep the

deal quiet.

It's 100% legal. In fact, it's regular

practice for well-connected investors—

really no different than any business deal

struck among inside players.

It's about who you know, as much as anything else.

Now maybe this sounds a little mysterious, but actually…it's a pretty boring

way to potentially make a lot of money.

Off-market deals aren't advertised. But this June, you could be one of the

insiders…well positioned for big gains—outside the States, outside stocks and

bonds, often outside the dollar. In the world's best real estate markets.

I'll tell you how in a minute.

But you should know: You don't need lots of cash on hand to benefit from the

on the "Inside"

an important role in the world of

business, with many a key deal

kind of off-market deal I'm talking about. And you don't have to be rich,

either.

While it's often the very wealthy insiders who are well-connected enough to

source these kinds of deals…this is an opportunity for you to invest the way

they do.

This is for anybody who would like to…

� Take advantage of a short window of opportunity…

� Position yourself well for gains, despite the anemic economy Stateside…

� Have a solid hedge against uncertain markets—and currency—at home…

� Enjoy a toehold overseas where your nest egg can grow—and you can

relax…

I'll explain how you can access at least eight specific off-market deals in what

I think are the very best, most undervalued real estate markets on the planet

today.

Markets that make sense, even at full price.

I'll show you how you can gain insider status, a seat in the room, a chance to

get in on the deals, and an opportunity to be ahead on gains…right from the

very start.

My name is Ronan McMahon, and I'm at the helm of Real Estate Trend Alert.

You may know me from the pages of International Living. If so, then you

know I spend the majority of my time scouting the planet for good-value real

estate deals—deals like the ones I just mentioned.

Deals like this can really pay off…particularly when they're made in a market

that makes smart sense—even without the discounts and special financing…

In the Right Place, at the Right Time, with the Right Deal…

A Tiny Investment Can Balloon

Here, for instance, are a few deals I personally have jumped in on…and you

can see how profitable they've been. Profitable, I should point out, at a time

when the U.S. markets were in free fall…



Lots of investment portfolios lost big and lost fast when the crisis hit. But

during that time, I had my eye on the right markets, and I—and the folks

following my lead—were pocketing gains.

In Panama City, for example, I bought preconstruction for $147,000 and sold

shortly after my unit was delivered for $220,000. Plus because of a little-

known Panama tax loophole, I was 100% legally able to pocket my profits

free of any taxes in Panama.

In Brazil back in 2008, I put down the equivalent of just $1,117 on a pre-

construction condo unit in Fortaleza—an incredibly hot market. In fact, two

weeks after I signed my contract, units exactly like mine were selling for

$20,000 more than I paid. When I finally sold, two years later, I pocketed

$43,500 in gains.

In Ireland a few years ago (back when that country was on an economic

tear), I bought a place pre-construction for 128,000 Irish pounds (the

equivalent of €162,526) with just a tiny down payment. A few years later, the

area boomed, and I sold for €275,000, pocketing a handy triple-digit annual

gain.

With the right deals in the right markets at the right time—these kinds of

gains aren't unusual at all.

In just a minute I'll give you some specific examples of the returns readers

like you have earned taking advantage of similar deals over the last two

years.

The point is: Even though we're seeing an anemic recovery Stateside, not

everywhere is in a slump…(and even in a slump…there's usually somebody

making money). But I'll come back to that…

Prudent, Lucrative Profit Plays for 2012

When you invest in real estate in the right markets, at the right time, with the

right deals—it can be a very prudent (and lucrative) way to not only profit,

but to diversify your portfolio.

In these uncertain economic times,

having a portion of your nest egg outside

the States is sensible. And with the right Often the Best Deals Are

Outside Open Listings



international real estate plays…it can be

easy, too.

That's my beat of course…I'm in the

business of identifying the right places.

In the last year alone, I've been on the

ground—in some cases more than once—

in places like Colombia, Mexico, Belize,

Vietnam, London, Ireland, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Canada, France,

and that's only a partial list…

But what you may not know is that I don't just stop there. I actually sit down

with the developers in person in the markets I think make sense, and I

hammer out an even better deal I can pass on to you.

I've got a collection of truly extraordinary profit plays lined up for 2012.

From apartments to beachfront, cities to rural escapes, there's something for

nearly every taste.

And that's not all.

Today everybody's talking about the disaster in the Euro-zone. But some

people are going to make money from that mess. I'll show you how you could

be one of them…

I'll reveal a basketful of insider, off-market plays this summer in

market expert



How One Reader Turned an Off-Market Deal

into $48,000 in 18 Months

Readers like you are already profiting handsomely with off-market deals. And

if you're not taking advantage of these opportunities, you're leaving money

on the table.

Here are just three examples from deals readers like you were able to access

at this event in years past. Just look at the returns…

One woman bought an apartment in Joao Pessoa, Brazil in 2010. She paid

R$242,000 (that's Brazilian Reals—about US$140,000). Today that apartment

is about to be delivered. And its value is a conservative R$325,000 (about

US$188,000).

That's a 34.3% gain—in 18 months. In US dollars, that comes to just over

$48,000 in paper profit. And this is in a liquid market. She could easily cash

out.

In another place, a high-end Caribbean development with a golf course and in

what many say is the hottest stretch of sand in the region today…one reader

took advantage of off-market pricing at this event last year to buy an entry-

level condo for $163,000 with terms you couldn't get walking in off the street:

Just $15,000 down and payments of $800 a month. Today comparable units

list at $182,000—just seven months later. That's an 11.6% gain in less

than a year.

Yet another reader made an investment in an office building I recommended

in a market where office space is sorely needed.

This isn't a super-sexy play. But that's not why it was on the table. It was a

deal designed to make readers like you money.

And it has. This gentleman secured his office unit for roughly $146,000.

Because of the special terms he got with this off-market deal, he was able to

really leverage his position. He put down a small deposit and has made a few

installment payments, and that's it.

And today his unit would go for about $188,000. That's a 28.7% increase

in value in less than a year.



What We'll Be Talking About in June…

When we meet down in the Dominican Republic in June, I'll get a map out and

show you exactly where in the world the best opportunities are today. I'll talk

to you about why they make sense and if they'd be right for you.

And then I'll show you how you can quickly and easily get in on them—with

deals the average Joe off the street can't touch.

Remember—I'm concerned with smart

deals in markets that make good sense

for an investor.

Now some of these places may be spots

where you'd love to spend some time.

And that's great when that happens—

when you can marry big potential profits

and a destination that can enhance your

quality of life, too—a place you can enjoy

a few weeks or months a year. Or even live full-time…

But that's not my primary concern. I'm looking at the numbers.

Right now, in fact, I'm still negotiating on your behalf. So I can't yet give you

the specifics about every off-market bargain I'll have on the table this

summer.

As I'm sure you understand, I can't divulge the actual deals until we're in the

room at this event. That's the point, really…they're off-market. They're for the

insiders only.

Of course, I hope you'll be among the folks sitting with me at the table…in the

room and in on the deals.

What I can tell you a bit about right now are the places I'm hot on for 2012…

the places where I've got deals underway…

Where I've Got My Eye Today—Markets at the

Profit Tipping Point

These are the markets I'm watching.

Diversify…Because You Can't

See the Future

"No one can foresee the

future—which is why it's best to

split your money among a series

of diverse investments." —Jon

Waggoner, USA Today



They're markets that make good sense for an investor, even without the off-

market deals. You'll hear more about them this summer when we meet in the

Dominican Republic… but here's a taste of what they have to offer…

� A 100-mile stretch of coast on Ecuador's north shore is arguably the

best-value beachfront on the planet today. The beaches are wide and

largely untouched. Lush green forest covers the hills. It's been hard to

get to until recently.

But now, a new highway that leads directly from the capital to the coast

cuts the drive time in half. All of a sudden, this area is accessible.

Tourists, expats, and wealthy from Quito are already coming. Prices are

rising. And premium inventory is beginning to run low. In June, I'll show

you how to get in here (with an off-market deal) and ride the tide to

profits.

� Brazil is now a middle-class country with a booming economy. The

world can't get enough of its food, minerals, energy, and manufactured

goods. In the northeast, miles of wide, white-sand beaches connect

little ?shing villages and kite-sur?ng outposts. This is a great place to

vacation—as the more than three million visitors to the Fortaleza area

last year can attest.

The rental market is strong—and demand is increasing. Yet an anomaly

in the market means that a one-mile stretch of boardwalk is

undervalued—by as much as 50% when compared to what people are

paying just to the east. This anomaly makes this opportunity particularly

strong…I'll give you the details in person this summer and show you how

you could easily position yourself here for gains off-market.

� In Costa Rica I've got my eye on more than one region. Pacific

beachfront…Atlantic beachfront…inland lake properties. There's a lot of

diverse opportunity in Costa Rica today. Each place I'll bring to your

attention is, I believe, undervalued. There's a window of opportunity

here today in a spot where the jungle meets the ocean…another in a

place you could swear sits somewhere in Switzerland…a third offers

amazing water views and extraordinary bang for the buck…I'll reveal the

details at this year's International Real Estate Investment Forum.

� Along the Riviera Maya—a postcard-perfect Caribbean coast with coral-

sand beach and turquoise waters—there's a spot where the development



is thoughtful and demand for accommodation is high. You'll find a 27-

hole golf course and luxury clubhouse among other amenities. I'll

introduce you to at least one play here—the kind of thing high-net-worth

individuals love to grab. Only you don't need to be loaded to make this

one work wonders for you!

� In Uruguay, you'll find not only a very "European" lifestyle, but also

some extraordinarily beautiful—and undervalued—beachfront today. A

prime opportunity to profit. In one spot I like, in particular, white sands

stretch for miles and miles. You can walk on this beach for hours

undisturbed by another human being. Birds flap and flutter overhead as

waves crash. I imagine it's the way the beaches of east Hampton looked

in simpler times…long before the industrialists and Wall Street tycoons

and movie stars laid claim to it.

This is an area poised to boom— for several reasons I'll outline in June—

and getting in here early, you could reap considerable returns. Even

better, right now you could get in for less than $31,900—I'll have the

specifics in hand in June. But suffice it to say…this is likely to be a very

attractive, off-market deal.

� In the Dominican Republic, too, close to where we'll be for this

International Real Estate Investment Forum, there's a lovely

pocket of sand and palms that attracts mostly Canadian and European

vacationers and is a popular second-home destination for wealthy

Dominicans.

No crowded beaches…no giant, tightly packed resorts. There's a proper

town center with lots of small restaurants, shops, and cafes. But what

makes this a particularly good opportunity right now is that a new road

to here from the capital of Santo Domingo cuts the drive down to an

hour and forty-five minutes.

This new accessibility will likely lead to higher prices. Yet for now, you

could still buy a condo for as little as $85,000. I'll have a nice play in

place for June that you may want to take advantage of.

And that's just the beginning of the opportunities you'll hear about this

summer at the International Real Estate Investment Forum…

In each and every one of those places—and some others, too—I'm arranging



special off-market deals for attendees only. An early-in, lower-priced

advantage hands you a great safety margin. And it puts you way ahead of the

pack when it comes to gains.

Because as I said before: These markets are worth your attention, even at full

price.

Why RIGHT NOW Is an Excellent Time to Invest

in Real Estate Overseas

The truth is, there's a whole world you don't hear so much about in the

mainstream press at home. It's the world I spend at least two weeks a month

investigating, firsthand. And here's what you need to understand about it…

1. Not every place is in a recession.

We may get lots of doom-and-gloom on the home front. But the picture looks

decidedly rosier elsewhere. Places where credit wasn't so loose. Places where

the economy today isn't anemic, but is actually growing at a healthy clip.

These places DO exist. And you can

find great investment opportunity

there.

In some places I like certain pre-

construction deals, for instance.

That's where you buy into a

development before it has been

constructed. Frequently, developers

will offer substantial discounts to buy

"off-plan" like this. The best pre-

construction projects will sell out

before a shovel goes in the ground.

And often the best units go to

"insiders."

You see, developers often need

investor funds to stay in

business. That's a strong

incentive to create simple and

profitable investor terms for

Easily, Quickly, Safely Grow

Your Nest Egg Outside Stocks,

Outside the Dollar

An entirely dollar-denominated,

stock-heavy retirement portfolio

faces a double threat: inflation and

currency devaluation.

Both of these can erode your buying

power and force you to dip into your

savings sooner and more often than

you'd planned.

But diversification—across asset

classes, across markets, across

currencies—minimizes your risk and

maximizes your return.

And a very sensible way to diversify



insiders. In addition, bank finance

for construction costs will typically be

dependent on a certain level of pre-

sales. The developer will want to hit

that number as soon as possible. All

that works in your favor.

As long as you're buying in a place

where the market is poised to appreciate—and a large portion of the general

public wouldn't mind owning or renting your unit—you're in a strong "profit

position."

This summer at the International Real Estate Investment Forum, you'll

discover the step-by-step secrets to identifying both the right markets and

the right deals. And, of course, we'll have a selection of excellent off-market

deals on the table at this event.

2. One person's distress sale can be your smart, below-market buy.

It's not just pre-construction that makes sense in 2012, either. The credit and

financial crises we're all too familiar with in the States DID explode

elsewhere, too of course—most notably in Europe.

But what is a struggle for somebody else can be a real opportunity for you

today.

I like the idea of buying prime, quality, and cash-flow-positive real estate for

substantially less than my neighbor paid (sometimes half).

Sound good to you, too?

I'm talking about "crisis investing" here. And the opportunities with the

strongest and most reliable yields are in Ireland, Portugal, and Spain today.

This opportunity exists because banks lent to developers to build. Developers

built in anticipation that there would be no problem selling their units. After

nearly a decade of runaway demand and floods of cheap money, they took

their eye off the ball. They took on more debt and risk than they should have,

and they overpaid for land.

Credit and financial crises combined with oversupply led to a breakdown in

is through real estate outside the

States. With the right deals at your

fingertips… it's easy. And it's those

deals we're laying out for folks this

June at the International Real

Estate Investment Forum.



many markets. Sales dried up and high-quality, completed units are left

sitting, waiting for a buyer. Banks need to purge their loan books. Developers

want to lick their wounds and move on. Forced sell-offs are happening…

demand is rock bottom.

This is a formula for opportunity. In the Dominican Republic this June, I'll

show you how to spot special deals like this and teach you how to know when

to pounce.

But beyond that, I'm hoping to have a few of these deals I can put on the

table for you. As you can imagine, it's all in the timing with things like this.

So it'll just depend on what I find in the week leading up to the event. But

there's money to be made on the "euro meltdown," and I'd like to

help you make some.

3. Baby boomers are headed south in greater numbers than ever—but

you can get there first, for less, and profit from the coming

"migration."

More than 5 million Americans already live overseas. Their ranks are growing

faster than ever. And it's a trend that's going to gain momentum. Millions of

Baby Boomers are poised to retire with less money than they'd planned on.

By necessity, they'll be looking to escape to destinations where their dollars

buy them more.

That means places like Panama, Mexico, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Uruguay,

Argentina, Belize, and beyond. When you can get there first, ahead of the

crowds, you can be well positioned for profit as prices increase with demand.

That's why I look for what I call "Path of Progress" plays.

Infrastructure development drives real estate prices. It's a fact. This

is particularly so when accessibility is increased within an already

established and growing market. So I look for places where a new road is

going in, for instance, or an airport is under construction. Places where a new

area is going to be opening up. When you get in early in a region like this,

you've got a head start on gains.

This summer, I'll introduce you to several timely "Path of Progress" plays in

proven markets… and walk you through the criteria I use to decide if a deal



like this is a good one.

Turn Your Portfolio into an International

Real Estate Profit Machine

At this year's International Real Estate Investment Forum, I'll hand you

the simple, proven tools you need to analyze deals on your own. I'll be there

to help you every step of the way. But I also want you to feel confident that

you're making sound, educated decisions about your own portfolio.

That's the whole idea, after all: That YOU

control your future. I want to show you

how you can easily, quickly, and safely

take steps to shore up and grow your

portfolio, using real estate outside the

States.

So you can afford to enjoy the lifestyle

you deserve. So you have the freedom to

do what you want, when you want,

where you want.

This International Real Estate

Investment Forum isn't like other

events.

It is designed to show you (in very practical terms) where—and how—to turn

a profit with real estate outside the US and outside the dollar. It's like a crash

course, essentially.

Only it's not just theoretical or academic. It's based on real-world experience

and up-to-the-minute intelligence. And you'll come away knowing exactly how

you can take action.

All the speakers are contacts I know and trust personally. International real

estate experts…finance guys…currency specialists…legal professionals…

developers… and more. They're flying in from the far reaches of the planet—

each ready to share something practical and profit minded.

During this power-packed program in June, we'll hand you every

proven insider's tool you need to turn your portfolio into an

international real estate profit machine—starting this year.

But that's just the beginning.

I'll also put on the table at least eight off-market deals in markets I believe

in.

There's no smoke-and-mirrors when it comes to picking real estate deals

overseas that make good sense…I'll show you how I do it. So you can do it.

And I'll hand you some excellent off market-deals I've negotiated on your

behalf.

This Summer, You'll See Deals Like These…

Now, as I mentioned, I'm still working out the particulars of the deals I'll have

on the table for you this summer.

But to give you a good sense for the kind of deal you'll see, let me give you

some more examples of deals attendees like you have been able to choose

from in the past…

� A pre-launch offer on a pre-construction project along a lovely stretch of

Caribbean coast. In this spot, rental demand far outstrips supply. My

"inner circle" shaved 9% off the official launch price. They got in early—

so got their pick of the best units. And they were required to put ZERO

down. That's right, no down payment.

These properties are already appreciating nicely. The folks who grabbed

penthouse units with this special deal paid $199,000—right now, they're

sold out, with the last one selling for $244,000.

� A distressed deal in the UK where my "inner circle" got in at 52% off the

developer's list price. This was in a high-end, contemporary condo in the

heart of the Birmingham city center, a 15-minute stroll from the

financial district with cinemas, galleries, and theaters at the doorstep.

This is where young professional and business people want to live and

rent. My folks could grab one-bed units at £75,336 ($123,780). Gross

rental yields from a unit like this are in the region of 10%.

� A 15% market discount on a beachfront condo. So instead of $62,000,



they went for $52,700. In this scenario, the buyers were up $9,200

before factoring in potential appreciation or rental income. Or, for that

matter, the enjoyment value of time they could spend in this place—a

little escape in the sun.

At the upcoming International Real Estate Investment Forum in the

Dominican Republic this June, those are the sorts of deals you'll have access

to.

They're all through contacts I have

confidence in. And in locales I believe

make very smart sense in 2012.

I can say that with confidence,

because I've done my homework.

You see, when I don't have my Real

Estate Trend Alert cap on, I'm

wearing one as Director of a firm

called Pathfinder, Ltd., a real estate

advertising company and

International Living's preferred

advertising partner. I'm an active

real estate investor myself. I'm

always on the lookout for potential investments…kicking the tires in new

markets… cutting deals with developers and agents.

I spend lots (and lots) of time culling the worthwhile opportunities from the

many that don't deserve even a second glance. In fact, I see about 200

potential deals for every one I actually bring to the attention of my Real

Estate Trend Alert members. Now, Pathfinder may earn fees on these deals.

But Real Estate Trend Alert members always get the best price available. And

they always hear about the best deals first. That's my promise. And at this

event, you'll have access to those very deals.

Because this International Real Estate Investment Forum isn't just about

pointing you to markets and showing you how to profit in them.

It's about taking it one step further, it's about handing you—on a silver

platter— a real head start on gains.

Enjoyed the Company of

Like-Minded People

"It was good to be in the company

of other like-minded people who are

looking for investments that make

sense. The group was very cohesive

and everyone got along very well

and I think all learned strategies

and ideas about this type of real

IREIF 2011



Speakers Committed to Sharing Practical,

Profit-Minded Intelligence

I'll be on hand to speak to you in June, of course. But I'm only one of many

speakers I have lined up. On the roster of experts coming to the

International Real Estate Investment Forum are pros with more than

100 years of expertise between them.

They are top-tier advisors in international real estate, finance, currencies,

law, real estate development, and more.

Among those on hand will be…

Margaret Summerfield, Director of Pathfinder International and a long-time

trusted colleague of mine. Though based in Panama City's historic Casco Viejo

neighborhood, from where she directs our research and spearheads our

extensive due-diligence efforts, Margaret spends much of her time out

scouting. In fact, as I write she’s on a boat off a small, reef-fringed Caribbean

island searching for pockets of undiscovered opportunity. Next month she

travels to Chile. This June she’ll share with attendees her hot-off-the-presses

scouting report from there, offer a full-run-down of her top market picks, and

explain why she favors various markets and for whom they’d make the best

sense. That’ll help you begin to see how the various opportunities you’ll be

introduced to could fit into your portfolio.

Juan Fischer is the managing partner of Fischer & Schickendantz, one of

Uruguay’s leading law firms. He manages the firm’s foreign-investment

consulting unit, advising multinationals and individual investors in foreign

direct investments in real estate developments, acquisition of local

companies, agricultural enterprises and privatizations. Juan lectures globally

on foreign-investment conditions in Uruguay, and this June will be on hand at

the International Real Estate Investment Forum to talk about investing

in farmland in Uruguay, among other value plays.

Daniel Neves will be there as well. In from Brazil, Daniel will focus primarily

on the opportunities unfolding in Fortaleza, where, as a partner in one of the

city’s most respected real estate firms, he’s well connected and plugged in to

the best investment deals. He’ll talk about several pockets of opportunity that

exist there today and share with you some strategies for capitalizing on the

extraordinary potential for profit ahead of the crowds.



Steve Linder, flying in from Costa Rica where he is the Sales Manager of

Pacific Lots, will be with us in the D.R. to talk about the opportunities

unfolding in that nation’s southern zone right now. He’ll lay out the very

compelling “path of progress” story and show you how your portfolio could

benefit by holding a stake here. This place is not only beautiful, popular with

international expats and visitors who appreciate the great restaurants and

hotels, and easier than ever to access, but it’s also poised to increase in

value. Steve will explain why and how you could benefit.

Toni Green, who is an owner and broker in the Dominican Republic, will join

us to talk about the local market – particularly the Samana Peninsula. In

many ways, it’s much different than the rest of the D.R. She’ll talk about why

the lack of all-inclusive resorts there (that exist across much of the rest of the

island’s coast) is an advantage for investors, how you could easily get in, and

where the best-value opportunities are.

Benjamin Beja, one of the most well-respected developers in Mexico, will

speak about the great profit potential today in the Riviera Maya. This stretch

of land south of Cancun is directly in the path of progress, with the

government’s tourism-development arm planning to bring 11 million tourists

to this stretch of coast. New roads, bridges, and even an international airport

are planned. Benjamin will walk you through the best ways you could

capitalize on this play today.

Francisco del Castillo, whose firm in Ecuador provides services in

architectural design and construction and real estate development will be on

hand from Ecuador to talk to attendees about the extraordinary profit

opportunities on offer in his country right now. In particular, he’ll focus on the

northern Pacific coast—firmly in the path of progress—where investors will

discover extraordinary value today.

Ronan McMahon—that’s me. I will, of course, share with you my boots-on-

the-ground assessments and my picks for the best value-oriented markets

around the world today. I’ll show you why I feel the way I do about them, and

talk about how I analyze a market so you can do the same. Global events can

create opportunities… but you need to be armed with the most in-depth and

up-to-date information to capitalize on situations as they arise. At the

International Real Estate Investment Forum, I and the other speakers

will ensure that you are.

Dan Prescher, International Living's



Special Projects Editor, will be our

emcee. He and his wife have lived in

Ecuador, Panama, Nicaragua, and

Mexico. Dan will share his experiences

living and buying Real Estate across the

region.

Plus you'll hear from attorneys flying in

from Uruguay, Brazil, Panama, Mexico, and elsewhere. They'll talk you

through whatever considerations you need to make from a legal standpoint

before investing in their countries…and introduce you to structures that can

help make your investment smooth and easy.

We'll have on hand finance and tax experts who will share with you

techniques and insights designed to help you safely maximize your

investment and minimize your taxes.

Also joining us from their homes in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Brazil, Ecuador,

Mexico, Uruguay, the D.R. and beyond are developers and real estate

professionals who will be on hand to speak with you about the opportunities

they themselves have to offer you and to share their own stories about

investing internationally as well. That's just a very partial list of the more

than two dozen experienced players we've invited who you'll have a chance to

talk and meet with this summer in the Dominican Republic.

For reasons I've explained, the developers who come to this Forum with off-

market deals don't want the general public to know they're offering

preferential treatment to a select group of insiders. It only stands to reason.

So the final list of speakers who will be in attendance and the list of folks

offering deals, that's only available to registered attendees.

I can assure you, however, that you'll find all our speakers and contacts to be

approachable and willing to share their opinions and experiences. That's

important to me. You need straight-shooting insights. And that's exactly what

you'll get when you join me and my colleagues at this event.

Where to Find the Best Real Estate Deals in 2012

I'm going to give you something else, too.

A Wealth of Information

"Well researched info all in one

place, wealth of knowledge

uncovered." —Ambrose H.,

Attendee, IREIF 2011



I want to make sure you have the low-down on the regions I'm targeting for

the best profit plays this year. A little background, essentially. That way,

when you get to this event, you can put the deals you see there in context

immediately.

So I'm pulling together a special report called 2012 Profit Plays: Where

You'll Find the World's Best Real Estate Deals.

When you register for the International Real Estate Investment Forum,

I'll send it to you—free. Inside you'll find out about…

� A market about to blossom in good-value Ecuador. A stretch of coast

that offers not only glorious beaches, but forests that top coastal cliffs.

Here clear blue water washes up on pristine beaches. Wild cats,

anteaters and tapirs prowl the thick forests. Toucans with rainbow bills

and delicate hummingbirds fly through the canopy. Offshore, the rich

ocean is a breeding ground for whales and provides a living for local

fishermen. Find out exactly where it is, how you get there, and why now

is the right time to take a look for yourself.

� The best lakeside buy in Latin America today. The first place you get to

when you approach this lake from the capital is a town with pizzerias,

cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and souvenir stores. A cluster of new

luxury spa resorts and hotels sits on the edge of the town. Most visitors

never venture farther on, though they could be on the far side of the

lake in just 45 minutes. They don't know what they're missing. It's

spectacular. And properties are still incredibly good value. Here, a half-

acre lake view lot will set you back as little as $19,000.

� A secret stretch of beach in a stable, democratic, peaceful country with a

strong economy and a burgeoning tourism sector—visits were up 40%

last year. The country is edging toward investment grade. It has good

infrastructure—the tap water is drinkable…roads are modern and

paved…and many public places (and some buses) have free Wi-Fi. The

second-home market here is hot right now. Big international developers

are moving in. The jet set will follow. But you can beat them with a path

of progress play that could pay out significant gains…

� And much, much more…

This June 7-9, 2012, Enjoy the Sunny Dominican Republic

We're hosting this event in the Dominican Republic for a host of reasons. First

of all, it's extremely easy to get to…and tickets are reasonable—sometimes

downright bargain-basement. (Plus, in fact, we've arranged with American

Airlines a 5% discount on flights for attendees.) It's an easy hop.

Not only that, it's spectacularly

gorgeous. We'll be hosting this event

at one of the very nicest spots on the

island. Indeed, one of the nicest in

the Caribbean.

We'll meet at the opulent Casa de

Campo Resort, once dubbed the

"Monte Carlo of the Caribbean."

It's home to one of the top 50 golf

courses on the planet—Pete Dye's

Teeth of the Dog course (and two

other courses, as well) and was just

named the Top Resort in the

Caribbean at the World Travel

Awards in January, the "Oscars of the

travel industry."

The place is a luxurious 7,000 acres.

You can take advantage of horses for

rides and polo, bicycles, tennis

courts, shooting excursions, water

sports, spa treatments. Or just relax

poolside or on the sand. Thirteen

restaurants offer a wide variety of

choice.

This Isn't "Rich Man" Investing,

It's "Smart Man" Investing

You don't need to be super-wealthy

to protect and grow your portfolio

with international real estate

holdings. (Though this is exactly

how many of the world's savviest

and wealthiest investors do it.)

You don't need to spend weeks on

end traveling. Sure, you can if you

like. It's always good to "kick the

tires" before you commit to a place.

But I've got the legwork under

control—I do it, so you don't have

to.

You don't have to fall in love

personally with every investment

play. It's great when you can

combine a lifestyle perk with a profit

play. But what I'm most concerned

with is whether an opportunity

makes for a sound investment, pure

and simple. You don't have to want

to live in a place to have it make



And a new, $50 million renovation

has left nothing to chance. Oversized

rooms provide balconies or patios,

crisp white linens and beautiful mahogany hardwoods. You get a golf cart you

can use to get around.

We've arranged for a special discounted rate for event attendees. Instead of

the usual $276 a night, room-only, you'll stay for just $199—and that

includes breakfast daily as well as complimentary wifi. In addition, as an

attendee at this event, you'll get 10% off all food and drink throughout the

resort.

Profit-Focused, Value-Minded, and Fun

While you'll find it a wonderful place to relax…that's not why we'll be there.

We'll be gathered to connect you to off-market deals in the best real estate

markets on the planet.

And this is your official invitation to have a seat at the table.

Remember, you've got to be in the room to be in on the deals.

And there won't be a more affordable time to reserve your seat.

Forgive me if I'm being too direct here. But I have to be honest: I don't think

we're charging enough for this program. We're handing you incredible insider

access.

Just one single deal could be worth thousands of dollars to you.

Just recently, I arranged a deal like the ones I'm putting together for this

program in the Dominican Republic.

It was in a high-end coastal development with magnificent views of the

Caribbean and the surrounding mountains and valleys. It's in a 640-acre

space set up at 1,300 feet—so you get great ocean breezes.

The site is diverse, with virgin rainforest, five rivers, two waterfalls, and

gently rolling hills. The wildlife is abundant, with hundreds of bird and animal

species.

It's being developed tastefully and thoughtfully. Roads wind instead of cutting

money for you.



through at straight angles. I checked this place out for myself, of course, and

we winded our way through internal roads that followed the contours of the

land…roads lined with well-maintained flowers and grass areas.

Thought and work goes into these little things. That's why they are an

important reflection on the developer. A communal pool and barbecue area

with an infinity-type pool is complete. Nearby homes are in and more are

near completion.

The deal I negotiated included this one: $51,000 for a 1.9-acre lot. That's

51% off the list price. In other words, this deal alone was worth $55,000 to

anybody who grabbed it.

Given that math, I think we could quite

reasonably charge $5,000 per seat for

this International Real Estate

Investment Forum—and it would be

worth every penny.

After all, you could recoup that—and

thousands of dollars more—on just ONE

of the special off-market deals you'll

learn about.

But it won't cost you $5,000 to come. In fact, it won't even cost you half that.

We wanted to make this International Real Estate Investment Forum as

accessible as possible.

And so right now—through May 2, 2012, you'll pay just $1,295 $1,095 for a

seat. (You save $200 when you register early, and you may be eligible for

additional discounts as well, on top of that.) Your guest is welcome for a

modest $895 $695 when you register by May 2.

The Secrets—and Access—that Can Change Your World

Your ticket to this event includes not only formal presentations by all our

speakers, but also small-group workshops they'll host.

In addition to that, I think one of the most valuable things you gain at a live

event like this is the chance to rub elbows with your fellow readers who share

A Sweet Pot of Gold

on your recommendations is

sitting on a sweet pot of gold."

your same interests.

So we've worked some "social" time into the agenda as well.

� We'll host two cocktail receptions

where you can kick back, network,

and enjoy yourself.

� Naturally, coffee and snack

breaks throughout the program.

� And, of course, you have full

access to our networking and

exhibit hall, where you'll find

incredible resources to help you put

into action the plan that best fits

your portfolio.

Plus, of course, this event also includes

access to all the off-market deals not

available to the general public. Your

running head start on profits…

This Event is Likely to Sell Out

I expect this International Real Estate Investment Forum to sell out—

just as it has in years past.

The Dominican Republic is an easy, affordable hop.

But because of that, I encourage you

to reserve your place now, while

seats are still available and you can

still take advantage of the Early Bird

Discount.

More and more people are coming to

understand that in these uncertain

economic times, having a portion of

your nest egg outside the States is

just plain common sense.

depth, info packed, straight, low

down on the different opportunities

in each country.



With the right international real

estate plays, it can be easy to

diversify—and position yourself for

excellent returns…outside stocks, and

outside the dollar.

This June in the Dominican Republic,

we'll show you exactly how to do

that…and hand you some amazing

off-market deals designed to put you

in ahead of the crowd in markets I

like, even at full price.

If you're ready to have a safe hedge against volatile markets at home and an

uncertain US dollar. If you're ready to enjoy a toe-hold overseas where your

nest egg can grow and you can relax…

Then there's no more efficient, enjoyable, or affordable way to make that

happen than to join me at our International Real Estate Investment

Forum in the Dominican Republic, June 7-9, 2012.

P.S. If you're on board with the idea of growing and diversifying your portfolio

(and I hope you are—for your portfolio's sake!)…then this event is for you.

"Perhaps the best benefit is being

able to distinguish my investment

strategy. That works for me and

being able to speak to the lawyers,

developers, brokers, experts to

flesh out that strategy so I can see

a clear pathway from where I am

now, to where I want to be." —Glen

That's because I and the other experts on hand will pass along to you the

proven tools we use for finding, evaluating, and cashing in on real estate

deals that can produce extraordinary annual gains…outside the States, and

outside the dollar.

By the time our Dominican Republic program comes to a close, you'll know

what to look for on your own and how to decide (in an instant) whether an

opportunity makes sense for you or not.

But we won't just send you off to fend for yourself. Instead, I'll hand you—on

a silver platter—a basketful of off-market deals you can't access any other

way. Deals in what I think are the very best real estate markets on the planet

today.

It means you get a running head start on gains. That's what this program is

all about.

Join me in Dominican Republic this June, and I'll show you how it's done. You

can reserve a seat at a discount right now here below. Simply click on the

link. But please don't delay.

The opportunities are extraordinary right now. And so we expect this program

to sell out quickly. I'd hate to have to put your name on our wait-list. Click
