I Went to Belize to Invest in Real Estate — What I Found Changed Everything
Belize Part 2. Why’d I go? Mixed people and real estate. It’s hard for actors who survive off gig work to buy homes because mortgage lenders want to see a two-year employment history, even if you have the money. So, I thought if I can afford an investment property in another country where over half the population is mixed, that’d be cool.
What I discovered.
Now, there are some expats who are doing some incredible things there, but land owners were burning acres and basically selling their country. That’s what it looked like to me.
The reefs are suffering, too. Though, the nurse sharks are fat and happy. So, for me, it went against my druthers to buy anything, but I would go back to support the ecotourist economy.
