Investment real estate refers to property purchased with the primary goal of generating income for profit, rather than being used as a personal residence.
The investor, or owner, rents out the property to tenants directly or through a management company for short or long-term periods. In return the investor earns regular rental payments, which can be from residential rentals, such as houses, condos or apartments, or from commercial rentals which can be offices or retail spaces.
Property in Bahamas can increases in value over time
As the property increases in value over time, often used in growing markets (albeit there can be periods of decline) but overall property values do increase, and can then be sold at a profit.
Investors may be able to deduct expenses such as mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, and depreciation adding to the value of ownership.
Investors can choose from a wide range of different types of cheap investment property from residential homes, condos, duplexes, or apartments, to commercial offices, retail stores, or industrial buildings leased to businesses.
Also there are mixed-use properties combining residential and commercial elements as an option, plus land, with or without planning permission, that can be developed on or sold again for future real estate development.
Many luxury properties in the Bahamas come with world-class amenities like private pools, golf courses, marinas, and even private beaches. The Bahamas has a reputation for catering to a high-net-worth clientele, and there are plenty of exclusive events, private clubs, fine dining, and cultural experiences for those living in luxury.
While the healthcare system may not be as advanced as in some countries, the Bahamas has high-standard medical facilities, and there are also private international schools for expatriates.
The Bahamas is just a short flight (around 1 hour) from Florida, making it an easy weekend getaway or second home for many American buyers.
Access to International Markets with the location makes it a gateway to both North and South American markets, as well as Caribbean. Given the popularity of the Bahamas as a luxury destination, there's potential for lucrative returns if you decide to rent your property out, especially during the peak tourist season (winter months).
