Foreclosed and Distressed Investment Properties in Suriname

Suriname, a country in northern South America is one of four non-Spanish-speaking states in South America along with Brazil, Guyana, and French Guiana and is the smallest independent country in South America.

Most tourists visit Suriname for the outstanding biodiversity of the pristine Amazonian rainforests in the south of the country which are noted for the incredible profusion of flora and fauna. The Central Suriname Nature Reserve is the biggest and one of the most popular reserves, along with the Brownsberg Nature Park which overlooks the Brokopondo Reservoir- one of the largest man-made lakes in the world.

The Surinamese economy is very dependent on commerce, its main trade partners being the Netherlands, the United States, Canada and Caribbean countries.

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 Suriname, 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.
