Bahamas Rental Property Holds Its Value Over Time

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – What if an investor could purchase a home in an area where property values seemed to be insulated from tough economic times?

Although nothing is fool-proof, Bahamas real estate has a good history when it comes to maintaining healthy property values.

There aren’t many things homeowners can do to protect themselves when housing prices begin to fall. Typically, the only course of action is simply to ride out the tough times and hope that brighter days are ahead. But owners of Bahamas real estate rarely are put in this situation, said Rachel Pinder, principle broker of Island Living Real Estate, a Nassau, Bahamas rental properties resource

and real estate agency.

There is a variety of reasons why Bahamas homes for sale

are an investment that not only holds, but increases in value over time.

One reason lies in the fact that the Bahamas is an island nation.

There are limited resources,” Pinder said. “Therefore, high demand keeps prices up.”

The country’s tax structure also boosts interest among investors. Bahamas homeowners pay no capital gains tax when reselling their property, Pinder said. They also dont pay taxes on personal income, inheritance, sales, dividends or corporate earnings.

There is a steady, strong demand for Bahamas rental property

. That means people looking to invest in houses or Bahamas

condos for sale

have plenty of opportunities to generate income from their properties when they aren’t using them. Lots of people rent short-term vacation rentals in the area, and a high number of ex-patriots who come to the Bahamas to work for international companies are in need of rentals.

The private banking industry is well-established and essentially is minimally affected during times of global recession, which is another factor that weighs in favor of investors in Bahamas properties.

Finally, the Bahamas remain a prime tourist destination, due to the crystal blue waters surrounding the islands that present myriad opportunities for fishing, diving, boating and other activities, Pinder said. Ten golf courses in the Bahamas, coupled with year-round beautiful weather make the islands a popular golf destination.About Island Living Real Estate
