Why you should invest in Belize real estate?
There are many reasons why investors are choosing this Central America destination. Belize is the Caribbean’s Fastest Growing Market for Tourism & One of The Top Tourist Destinations In The World.

In addition to the stable economy the Belizean currency is tied to the US Dollar at a rate of 2:1 so there is no concern with fluctuating exchange rates.
Belize is only a few hours away from many cities in the U.S, and accessible via short direct
lights from many large population centers USA. Direct Flights: Atlanta, Houston, Miami, Denver, Las Angeles, Minnesota, Canadian Direct Flights: Calgary, Toronto.
Belize has a strong stable economy aside from tourism and although tourism in Belize is booming, it only represents about 30% of GDP. The top export of Belize is raw sugar, followed by bananas, and then fruit juice.
Belize is the only country in Central America with English as the official language. This is important, because when dealing with emerging/developing nations, especially in Central and South America, you don’t want to rely on someone’s translation for key documents you need to sign. English is the official language used for all real estate transactions, legal matters, and business contracts.
Belize is governed by British Common Law, which means real estate investors can have full property ownership with land title, and title insurance is available, just as in the US and Canada. There are no restrictions on foreign land ownership, and property rights are respected. Property is owned with fee simple title.
