Foreclosed and Distressed Investment Properties in Barbados

Barbados is an island nation located in the eastern Caribbean Sea and forms part of the Lesser Antilles.

It lies east of the Windward Islands, north-east of Venezuela, and south-east of Saint Lucia, with the Atlantic Ocean along its eastern coastline. Unlike many Caribbean islands, Barbados sits outside the main hurricane belt, enhancing its appeal for tourism and real estate investment.

The island covers around 430 square kilometers and features mainly flat coral limestone terrain.

The capital city, Bridgetown, is located on the south-west coast and serves as the island's primary port and commercial center.

Looking for distressed properties can be a smart investment strategy, especially if you're interested in flipping, wholesaling, or buying below market value.

There are many places to find distressed or foreclosed properties in Barbados, for examples you can ask a real estate agent to filter for foreclosures or bank-owned (REO) properties.

Investors can also refer to the local County Courthouse or Public Records and search for public notices of default, tax liens, and foreclosure sales.


Working with Property Agents or Realtors who specialize in distressed properties, foreclosures and short sales can be useful as well as keeping an eye out for expired listings or properties sitting too long on the market.

Drive around neighborhoods looking for vacant houses, broken windows, or deferred maintenance and work with probate attorneys, property managers, and bankruptcy lawyers who they often know of distressed assets.
