The Ecuador Real Estate MLS – May 2011 includes new listings including a beach project, Hacienda Palo Alto, north of Bahia starting in Cabuyal.
We have been reporting for years that the area in Ecuador with the most explosive potential is north of Bahia.
Bahia. See below how to get our updated report on Bahia FREE.
Bahia is a wonderful city, small, but large enough for services. There is easy access from Quito and elsewhere. There are big investments pouring into the area.
The spark we suggested would ignite the growth was the completion of this new…
bridge – bridge over the Chone Estuary.
Next will come…
regular flights from Quito to San Vicente Airport.
Dirt roads from Quito and up and down the coast have been paved into four and six lane highways.
Now there is rapid change and development in Bahia, Ecuador’s first Ecocity. This is the favorite town in the area with a population of 25,000 people located on the mouth of the river – Rio Chone.
There are clean beaches, a Museum of archeology and art, organic Eco-Shrimp farms and tourism.
Over the bridge is where we’ll see the fastest growth. The towns north of Bahia but still in the lovely province of Manabi are:
San Vicente
Canoa
Cabuyal
Jama
Pedernales
Hacienda Palo Alto is in Cabuyal. The turnoff to the project is about 12 miles (20 kilometers) north of Canoa.
Currently Cabuyal is a very small town. Expect significant changes over the next few years, mostly due to the upcoming Hacienda Palo Alto.
Highway improvements will reduce drive from Quito to 4 hours (from 7+ hours last year, currently around 4.5 to 5 hours.
This is a gated Community with 24/7 security, underground utilities, fire hydrants, internal paved streets, outdoor shower at the beaches, paved beach access, manager and sales office, Clubhouse with pool, bar and gym,
helipad, walking trail, children’s playground and beach ranchitos for relaxing.
The majority of the property will be left in its natural state.
The land has creeks and huge ceibo trees, wild orchids, parrots, and howler monkeys.
The beach is mostly sandy and has a gentle slope. There is a nesting area for sea turtles. Waves provide excellent surfing and bodysurfing. Humpback whales visit July through September.
This is an approved subdivision with 453+ acres and 1 km (.6 mile) of Pacific beach.
There are 166 ~2000 sq. meter (20,000 sq ft.) lots near the beach that are not low-lying, plus fractionals, and homes and some commercial retail. Most of the property is to be left in its natural state.

Manta Condos
Manta is the center of the Ecuador coast and currently the only city on the beach with its own airport. Many of our readers who take Ecuador real estate tours find Manta condos an excellent value and enjoy life there.
So we are happy to have this paid advertisement for these Manta beach condos.
Nerea Condos have begun.
Architect’s computer generated rendition of how these Manta condos will look when they are complete.
NEREA CONDOS
Every now and then there comes a great deal that really requires us to stop and take a look. Nerea is the right choice for our customers due to the combination of three major advantages it presents: location, quality of design and construction, and prices. All of them, backed up by the professionalism and experience of Atiaga & Iturbide, the Quito-based development firm.
Manta’s anthem refers to the city as “Nereid” in a warm tribute to its people. The Nereids were mythological figures of the sea, endowed with remarkable beauty and friendliness. Our project NEREA, therefore, honors such allusion.
LOCATION
The building is located in the Barbasquillo area, which is the new area of up-scale residential developments in Manta. It is conveniently close to downtown, yet distant enough to allow a quiet retreat. Recent investments in the area have resulted in increased property values for current and future owners. In addition to the pleasant weather of Manta, Barbasquillo enjoys an unobstructed view of the Pacific, which has been considered in the design of Nerea.
QUALITY OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
Suite
Atiaga & Iturbide is a Quito-based firm, seriously oriented to satisfying clients’ needs with high attention to architecture design. The distinguished design of Nerea is the result of US-trained professionals, who have enthusiastically worked to make Nerea unique in Manta.
Three bedroom unit.
Nerea is an 8-story development and the only building in town with apartments that run front to back, to allow ocean view in every apartment. The social areas in each apartment are oriented towards the ocean, with large windows that slide to extend the interior area into a private terrace.
Lounge
Bedrooms are set in the back, with sufficient windows to light the interiors, without excessive heat.
Penthouse

Quantum Thinking for Everlasting Wealth Seminar
Quantum Thinking for Everlasting Wealth Seminar. How to retire from the rat race… at any age. Where the writing, business and reading world meet.
Gary Scott teaching delegates about quantum wealth.
Learn Quantum Thinking & How to Have Everlasting Wealth with Gary and Merri Scott.
These special seminars look far beyond creating or improving your own business for income. They begin with a global economic update that helps integrate thinking of the past with the here and now of global economics.
Learn how to integrate your brain waves so you become smarter and how to gain never ending income by continually spotting contrasts distortions and trends.
The seminar is divided into three sessions.
Each session builds on the next to help you learn how to gain freedom, remove stress and earn more by combining powerful tools of thoughts and business action
Sessions One: Our global World present past and future… seen from outside the box.
Sessions Two: How to have quantum wealth and health with more intelligence with whole brain thinking through “Frequency Modulation.Saturday – How to Write.
Session Three: International Micro Business – “How to Have a Global Income “.
This seminar provides a learning funnel that integrates your personal desires, skills and circumstances to current and historical global economic realities.
Here is what you learn:
* Global economic history - how this combines with each business’s past… future… interest, skills and knowledge.
The historical review sees current markets for writers based around economic cycles as outlined first by Russian economist, Nikolai Kondratiev, who proposed a theory that Western capitalist economies have long term (50 to 60 years) cycles of boom followed by depression. These business cycles are to this day called “Kondratiev Waves”.
Kondratiev’s thoughts were refined by Austrian economist, Joseph Shumpeter, which we have extensively researched and follow the global economy (and US stock market) and how it has moved through a series of bull…. and then a bear (a period of no growth) cycles that each run around 15 year bull as shown in this graph below.
These stock market bull and bear cycles are based on cycles of human interaction, war, technology and productivity.
These cycles are a driving force in the creation of opportunity.
These cycles are intricately connected with the new waves of productivity that grow from the great human platform of combat. The cycle goes like this.
An economic downturn enhances a war or threat of war. Struggles for survival in the war (like the Civil War, WWI, WWII and the Cold War (WWIII), super charge inventiveness that creates new forms of productivity…the steam engine, the internal combustion engine, production line processes, jet engines, TV, farming techniques, plastics, telephone, computer and lastly during the Cold War, the internet.
Each new invention helped win a war. Shifting the technology to domestic use… after the war… created a boom.
Each boom leads to excess.
Each excess led to a correction. The correction creates an economic downturn.
The economic downturn enhances a war or threat of war.
The global economy is currently in a major correction cycle… at the correct time and we should expect that a war (or some major struggle of the epoch or threat of war such as the Cold War) should begin to build! This latest downturn started almost exactly (1998), 16 years after the last boom began (1982)…which began after the last great human struggle called the Cold War that lasted about a decade when the Soviet Union collapsed.
If the cycle repeats, the struggle should build now due to the poor economy. If the cycles repeat then the bottom is around 2012-2013. Everything will seem bleakest… darkest… blackest.
This will be the best time of all in decades to invest!
The epoch of the Cold War fought Maggie Thatcher and Ronnie Reagan fought the evil empire (1981 to 1989). The war was won when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 and the Soviet Empire dissolved in 1991. That war created an arms race that created new technology including internet.
The economic war that follows the boom comes from the domestication of technology developed during the struggle.
The technological burst off WWIII accelerated when access to the ARPANET was expanded in 1981 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) which developed the Computer Science Network (CSNET) providing access to supercomputer sites in the United States from research and education organizations.
In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced. Commercial internet service providers (ISPs) began to emerge in the late 1980s and 1990s.
The dot-com bubble (also referred to as the Internet bubble and the Information Technology Bubble) was the post war boom, a speculative bubble covering roughly 1995–2000.
The next step is to decide where this cycle is and how this creates business opportunity through distortions, contrasts and trends.
Contrasts and distortions in currencies, markets and social and demographic shifts to spots trends.
For example we look at how each new wave of technology creates new problems. Shifts from WWII included increased fertilization in farming and more women at work. This caused dietary differences in the American family that led to an explosion of health food stores.
* Problems & Trends Create Income Possibilities
Surprisingly the inventors of Graham Crackers and Kellogg Corn Flakes were among some of the first to spur an interest in health food so in the 1920s and 1930s health food stores did start to open in the USA selling products such as blackstrap molasses and brewer’s yeast. However health food stores as we know them did not start to boom until the 1960s in connection to the newly emerging ecology movement and counterculture to modern living, intense fertilization, pesticides, women at work, etc.
Image the wealth you would have gained writing about that trend coming!
We explore potential counter cultures created by the internet… a WWIII technology… that could erupt and ways to write and do business based on this.
We pay special attention to economic distortions. Distortions create writing opportunities because your micro business is the best investment you can make backed by your own time, effort and energy.

Another session in the seminar shows “How to have an international micro business.” These sessions are highly practical and usable. They focus on how to use modern technology to start global micro businesses with minimal investments of time and capital.
By starting small and building with stepping stones and a harmonious focus, Merri and I have learned how to almost own several profit generating phrases at Google. We, along with our webmaster David Cross share the secrets of how you can use words to create your own global income as well.
The seminar shares how we use the first four of “Seven Ps” (Person, Problem and Promise, Product) to zero in on key word phrases. Then you learn how to use the Fifth P Promise to develop new customers. The Sixth P is the Prospecting Path and Seventh P is the Presentation to create income.
We use this system successfully on the internet and share what we do with you as we look at ways you too can have a high income generating business… even if you never leave your home.
This knowledge has really helped previous course delegates. Here is what one previous delegate just shared:
“Gary , I have been working on my website, healthy-holistic-living.com site and I figure it is time for another update. It is really hard to believe it, but my site just keeps growing and growing and I am now averaging 2000 visitors per day!
“What I find to be most amazing is that in just a few short months my site is #1 out of over a million sites and sometimes even millions of sites! As you always say the internet is the ‘Great Equalizer’ anybody given the right tools can compete on the internet.“Below are some of my search results. I only listed GOOGLE and YAHOO but you can find similar results on both MSN and ASK.com.
GOOGLE:
#1 out of 1,190,000 …………………………“definition healthy spirit “
#1 and #2 out of 1,210,000.………………….“benefits to living a holistic life “
#1 out of 1,260,000 …………………………“gaining a healthy mind “
#1 and #2 out of 1,260,000 …………………“benefits to living a holistic life “
#2 out of 935,000 …………………………..“holistic lifestyle tips “
You will learn how to use the same system to expand (or start) your business globally!
This is a perfect era to increase your wealth and improve your lifestyle as you reduce stress with your own a micro writing self publishing business.
Merri and I enjoy having an international internet business and it is doing well. Almost every month our internet business sales are higher than they were in the same month a year before.
We are very thankful to be one of the most read sites in Ecuador and do very well in the US and Canada too.
May we share our experiences to help you learn how to enjoy this satisfaction and success through your micro business?
Here is a recent ranking of just one of our five websites.
This ranking from Alexa.com shows how our site is in the top 16,000 web sites in America, top 8,000 in Canada and top 500 in Ecuador. There is more. While many suffered in 2007, 2008 and 2009, the recession caused our internet business to grow.
Our seminar helps you learn how to use the same tactics we use… in your micro business.
Our sales doubled during the recession. Our list of readers increased over 100%. Since the economy picked up our business growth has slowed but business is still growing. This is how good, value oriented business grow by the way.
Value oriented micro businesses should increase steadily in good times. They do not get caught overextending in euphoria. Then during bad times they are in a position to do really well!
Knowing the micro business philosophies we follow can help you use the internet in business if you desire.
The Western economy has changed… probably forever. The old ways are gone and those who held jobs… or still have work in the private sector have lost the most.
The economy will recover… but the way people earn and work… and how the money is distributed and to whom especially… has been profoundly altered. This is especially true in value added countries like Canada… the USA and most of Europe.
We are in an era of global structural change… in economics… in society and in the way we work because technology brings us low cost administration, low cost access to data, low cost communication, and low cost travel, plus the opening of markets beyond logic that rely more on passion and experience than on efficiency and cost.
We look at these economic and structural changes, and what to do about them in the business portion of our seminar.
We’ll see how markets are shifting from materialistic needs to emotional needs.
We’ll see great opportunity for writers in the following markets:
Love-friendship-control-freedom-tradition-change-big answers-recognition and care. These are emotional needs that create expanding demand and business opportunity. The next generation is having more involvement in every step of the buying process. Uniting the body and mind is an emerging market. Natural physical health, fitness will expand but botox and insulin sales will also grow.
Mental health, retreats and spas prosper. The health of the planet is becoming a more important business.There is a shift of emphasis from GDP to GWB (General Wellness Barometer Happiness Factor). Business will operate with more passion.
Learn about other business possibilities…
In the global micro business sessions we’ll see ideas on how to:
* Create export businesses
* Self Publishing/Writing
* Internet Sales
* Ecuador Business Ideas
* Organic Business Ideas
* Health Business Ideas
* Ideas for Cuban Business

The educational program Merri and I have developed uses a different form of frequency modulation that opens enormous opportunity for expansion, understanding, peacefulness as well as greater wealth.
FM teaching uses frequency (in music and with each sense… sight…. smell, tactile and even smell) to integrate brain waves so the process of absorbing, processing and recalling information is vastly accelerated. This brings forth the three C’s: Calm, Clarity and Coherence.
FM creates relaxed concentration… a key to happiness, health and success.
You learn whole brain thinking that can help improve your freedom, satisfaction and income through business.
This part of the seminar helps us integrate their brain waves so they are more intelligent, intuitive and relaxed.
This workshop shows how to get into and stay in a state of relaxed concentration… a mental state shown to enhance almost every human capability… especially writing.
Merri and I are explorers so we have used this techniques for decades. We are always looking for what’s next… trying to stay on or ahead of the leading edge and need ways to think outside he box..
This journey has helped us alter the main mission in our lives again and again… every seven to 14 years.
The Quantum Wealth Frequency Modulation sessions share ideas on how to live better…. using frequency modulation to be smarter… stronger…. more energetic… and healthier.
Most of us have never so many problems that create opportunity as those that face us now. A growing global population… depletion of natural resources and technology are bring social and financial shifts at a pace never seen before.
These shifts will rob many of their financial well being, but fortunately the same technology that is creating the change can also help you gain prosperity like you have never imagined. We look forward to sharing these riches with you.
We are in our 44th year of business and we share what we have learned and where this is leading our activities in our upcoming seminar. Join us.
Each seminar updates how we doing business globally, and even how we are investing… and why… right now. Join Merri, me
Spotting new trends and applying them to our micro business has brought us a strong and continual flow of income. More importantly the process has been fulfilling…. beneficial to society and healthy. Now you can benefit from the latest… and perhaps strongest… of all the trends we have stumbled upon.
Applying the concepts of quantum thinking to spotting trends over the past 44 years has helped thousands of our readers make and save millions. The success of our readers has been a driving force in our lives yet we have always wanted to do more so continued looking deeper at ways we can share how to have income, stability, good health and contentment.
Join us to learn our most recent experiences and most advanced concepts and ideas.
