PM me if you have any questions. Thanks!

Belize is relatively easy to invest in there currency is pegged to the USD and there official language is English so the legal documents do not need to be translated for you to understand them. It also would be very difficult for a court in the US to go after an investment made there (since in the US people sue other people for no good reason) Financing is an issue there. It is easier to get money in the US and invest it there. (HELOC, etc.)

@Danielle Golan I did a lot of research in the area and have inquired on a few projects that different companies are promoting in the area. If you like PM me and I can give you more details.  

I believe that if you have an account with Associated Bank they will set a HELOC up with no up front costs. Rates are competitive.

I listen tot eh Real Estate guys and they are part of the reason I am looking into Belize. I am really interested in getting some insight from someone who has been investing in the area for a few years to get a better idea of there viewpoint on the country and area they are invested in.

@Jason Bott Could you send me over the contact information from the person you know?

I'm currently an investor in the Wisconsin area, but am looking at investing in Belize. I am interested in Belize due to research I have done and the current market expanding. I'm wondering if anyone on Bigger Pockets has experience in Ambergris Caye or Placencia. More specifically I am curious on differences between the two locations as well as what type of properties are recommended for someone looking to have others manage it for them. I'm also wondering what type of properties people have been successful with (single family home, small condo projects, or large complexes).

I saw this post and know it is older, however I am interested if you did end up investing in Belize? If so, what areas did you consider and how did you determine where to invest in ultimately.

@Michael Henry I have had a few things going on in my life that have kept me from starting this venture. I think this will need to wait a few years.

Meg,

I invest in Waukesha. It can be a tricky market. Let me know what you are interested in learning and I can see if I can help.

Vincent - I like the can do attitude! Let me know when you are back in MKE and we can set up some time to talk!
