This part of the website has a compilation of the BEST DEALS that we have at the moment. It's difficult to keep this updated since the best stuff often comes
in and sells very quickly, but we'll do our best. Many of these, despite being great deals, have been on the market for months, or even a year or two. I have
no explanation for that. Perhaps they're waiting for the right buyer. In any case, the reason these are great deals is usually one of several reasons: the
seller doesn't know any better, the seller is desperate to sell quickly, the road and/or utility access is bad, the property is IDA land or has other title issues,
or the property has great potential that the average buyer just doesn't see.
In looking through these properties, you should learn a great deal about the market here. If you don't understand why I think one of these properties is a great
deal, contact me and I'll fill you in. With all of these properties, I'm confident that you can sell them for double the asking price in a maximum of three years,
and many of them in two.

Playa Hermosa & Manzanillo

Surfers Hills Santiago Lot 6
$72,000
Six nice grassy lots on rolling hills in Santiago, a ten minute drive up the road from Playa Hermosa. These lots have
power and water, and are in a very peaceful area. Specifically check out lot 6. In my
opinion, this one has been underpriced by the
owner. At $72K for 4000 m2, it's almost an acre for $18/m2. This lot could in the future be split into two. Highly
recommend small investment!

Spanish Villa - 3400 m2 $450,000
Incredible Deal!!! Huge house with A+ ocean views, yet you can still easily walk to the beach. This is maritime
zone, without a concession yet. This is cheap because the design of the house is unappealing to most people. There are almost no windows on the wall
facing the ocean! Most clients who walk into the house don't like it. But, if you can see past that and can imagine what it's going to look like with
a bunch of windows put in, then you'll see this is the best deal for a beach house in the area.
