Another real estate evolution is beginning.

Merri and I had lunch today with one of our bankers.  The consensus was clear  if you are investing in equities, the global gorillas with worldwide income, good cash flows and revenues will be the place to be.  Cash pays nothing, bonds are low yielding.  Commodities have done nothing for nine months.

Merri and I are lucky… several years ago we recommended investing in overseas government bonds and we invested ourselves  paying 8% to 13%.  These are good into 2015 and 2016 so we’ll hold them for now, but as liquidity comes in it has been going into US (mainly Florida) real estate.

This is the type of house we have been offering on… short sales.. foreclosures and just plain sales… 3 bedroom, 2 fl baths, 1,400 to 1,700 square feet in the $55,000 to $100,000 range… good for rentals or appreciation.  These offer enormous value in our opinion… but finally prices are beginning to rise.

Those who have been reading our site for some time know that beginning in the late 1990s through mid 2000s we sold much of our Florida real estate and began buying Ecuador property. .. much more than we had in the US.

Then in 2009 we switched and started selling some of our Ecuador real estate and began buying back in Florida.  Over the last three years we have watched a firmness start to take hold with prices in Florida.

A USA Today article entitled “Average U.S. home prices — down by a third since 2006 and still falling — will rise almost 4% a year for the next five years, according to a new forecast” by Amy Sancetta.  This fortifies my feeling that US house prices are on the rise.

Here is an excerpt: Market watcher Fiserv sees prices stabilizing by summer’s end and then climbing, quickly in some places until gains taper off. The forecast is based on an analysis of leading home price indexes.

Investors will drive much of the momentum, as they are now in cities such as Las Vegas and Phoenix.

First-time and trade-up buyers will eventually follow.

By the time home prices stop falling, they’ll be almost 35% below their 2006 peak, Fiserv says.

Separately, market researcher CoreLogic said Tuesday that U.S. home prices rose 0.6% in March from February, the first month-over-month increase since July.

Good affordability and declining inventories are key factors.

Conventional mortgage payments now account for just 12% of median family incomes vs. a historical norm of 20%, says Fiserv economist David Stiff.

The Fiserv forecast, done with Moody’s Analytics, assumes steady economic growth with no major shocks. Markets hardest hit by foreclosures will show the biggest five-year increases in home appreciation, it adds.

Six of the 10 markets where annualized prices are expected to rise most over the next five years had price drops of more than 50% from their peaks.

These markets expected to rise most and of course includes Florida.  Take advantage of low prices while you can

Rising US real estate prices will also increase the flow of Americans southwards into Latin America.  Ecuador real estate will be one of the benefactors of this move.  Prices in Ecuador will rise along with US prices.

Ecuador’s real estate and residence evolution is moving right along also.

A lot has changed in both areas since we began traveling  to Ecuador 17 years ago.

Now Ecuador real estate and the movement of Americans to Ecuador is about to get a boost from US real estate as it finally begins the upward journey again.

This increased pressure could also force tougher rules for visas. Buying real estate in Ecuador and through most of Latin America will cause changes.  Most Latin governments I believe are surprised by the flow of gringos and are now grappling with how to deal with and profit from this wave.

We are helping readers stay in touch with this change and recently shared an updated report entitled BUYING REAL ESTATE IN ECUADOR LEGAL REPORT by Dr. Andres Cordova, a prominent Ecuadorian attorney, who has helped hundreds of our readers over many years.

Ecuadorian real estate prices are much higher than a decade ago but still offer tremendous value in these uncertain times. Whether you are looking for a property solely as an investment, or to develop, or as a place to spend part of the year or to use full time; Ecuador has many options for you.

The financial and confidence crisis in North America and Europe and the demise of many former safe havens and hot-spots for real estate investing are prompting many people to look towards Ecuador to find positive distortions.

You can buy in the highlands or on the coast, in the big modern cities or in small, quaint towns. Ecuador has a fantastic cultural and natural landscapes, with great weather and warm and welcoming people.

The Ecuadorian Constitution establishes that foreigners have exactly the same rights as Ecuadorians do. Private property is a pillar of our legal system and therefore protected in Ecuador.

This report establishes general tips and elements of the purchase and deeding procedure. (It is not meant to replace direct legal advice.)

Previously this report was available only to our Ecuador Living Club members but I can now share this with all is now because Andres just wrote:

Gary, let’s give all your readers the report and let’s give a discount of $150 on all legal services to all Ecuador Living Club members plus send them an extra report with enhanced information.

I am getting many inquiries for visas and have been diligently attending to all of them. Changes are taking place in the visa process and I am preparing a report on this for your readers as well.

Hi, I am in Cuenca with my family, wife and 2 little ones. Was wondering if you could help me with a driver from Quito airport at 9:20 am, Friday August 12, to Hotel Land of The Sun for 1 nite. Want to go to the markets Saturday on the way back to Quito and the Radisson( thanks for the great rate!). Will need a driver for that also.

Capture Cation Profits

Three more days to orders fresh Ecuador roses for Mother’s Day.  See details here.

Cations can bring financial stability in an unstable world.

Our mission is to help readers embrace change and turn it to their favor.  One way is through investing in value real estate. Another is to invest in agriculture.

Golden orange from our grove.  Better than gold in many ways.

When these two ideas come together (the two ways of value investing) and are boosted by a catalyst profits can be explosive.

Our orange groves are an example.   We purchased the grove at a good value due to Florida’s real estate crash.

The price of Florida oranges rose because of agricultural inflation and because the FDA halted all imports of foreign orange juice. The blockade was prompted by fears that some foreign orange juice — especially juice imported from Brazil — contained traces of carbendazim, a fungicide banned in the United States.

The news of the ban pushed OJ futures to an all-time high.

The catalyst was Bio Wash.  We have more than doubled yields in our grove as the price of oranges has risen since spraying with Bio Wash.

We have been promoting Bio Wash and its formative solutions (we used to call it Ted’s Stuff) because it is such a great product and is wonderful for the environment.

We use for all our household cleaning. I brush my teeth with it.  We spray our Hemlocks at our farm in North Carolina to eradicate the Wooly Adelgid blight and we spray our crops there.

So it was logical that we also sprayed our groves.  (Merri and I have been dedicated users of Ted’s Stuff for over 15 years.)

Now there is even more good news about this product that might be a catalyst for a way to gain extra earnings (or better gardens and crops) as you help the environment.

The news is spelled in the word Cation.

To understand the science we start with an Ion.

An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge.

An anion with more electrons than protons, giving it a net negative charge (since electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged).

Wikipedia says this about cations and soil:  A cation is an ion with fewer electrons than protons, giving it a positive charge.

In soil science, cation-exchange capacity (CEC) is the maximum quantity of total cations, of any class, that a soil is capable of holding, at a given pH value, for exchanging with the soil solution. CEC is used as a measure of fertility, nutrient retention capacity, and the capacity to protect groundwater from cation contamination. It is expressed as milliequivalent of hydrogen per 100 g (meq+/100g), or the SI unit centi-mol per kg (cmol+/kg). The numeric expression is coincident in both units.

Clay and humus have electrostatic surface charges that attract the solution ions, and hold them. This holding capacity varies for the different clay types and clay-blends present in soil, and is very dependent of the proportion of clay+humus that is present in a particular soil. A way to increase CEC is to favor the formation of humus.

The higher the CEC, the higher the soil fertility.

In short, if you have higher CEC your crops grow better. Bio wash increases the CEC.

Bio Wash protects against frost and really made some readers happy recently due to the late cold snap up north.   In North Carolina we call this a Blackberry freeze (because it ruins the blackberry crop).  The local gardening wisdom in our area is plant potatoes, onions, lettuce and radishes on Good Friday… but wait until Mother’s Day to plant the rest of the crops.

That wisdom is to avoid the blackberry frost so the early bird planters this year were clobbered… except those using bio wash.

Last week our front yard in NC looked like this… in April!  (Now you know why we are still in Florida!)

Bio Wash promotes growth. We have been receiving reports like this: Good news.  Tanya Reid, NY, BioWashed 35 acres of peach blooms for a grower and saved them from freezing in 26F. cold.  Tanya’s neighbor who is a farmer who grows plums, peaches, apples, raspberries, gardens flowers everything…… called our farmer who had success with bio wash freeze protection and is meeting with him today.

Harry the farmer said he’ll show him documentation and ride around his property to prove his success……….AWESOME………. we are very excited to say the least….I will be ordering more product I am sure this week like a 55gallon or a ton of gallons.

Tanya also told me this morning that Harry our test farmer told her he was very frustrated about the bad freezing weather coming  on the 24th of march.

Now he is the center of attention. Another farmer was coming over to look at his trees and marvelous success that has never happened in 165 years!

God is working. Its not just about money. Its about helping people be successful and bringing farmers together to increase their potential for higher yield and profit. Oh BABY AMAZING “UNBELIEVABLE

I’M SO EXCITED AND THINK I LIKE IT. I’M ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL.

Another wrote:  Justin Wilkinson, Washington, reported three to five  full-sized ears per stalk. Now he is planning tests involving money-saving reductions in fertilizer costs. He also enjoyed an extra month of extended grass season, thus reducing the cost of buying hay for his dairy.

George Behlin,, NY, reported three full sized ears and one stalk with  four in his garden. Plus, amazing yields of beans and tomatoes.

Henry Morgan, Baton Rouge, reduced his fertilizer by over 50% and reported his greatest vegetable garden in 10 years.

Dr. Treloar, Iowa, reported general 20% yield increases on his test crops and  had amazing results.  He sprayed some wild blackberries and WOW!The berries grew larger than normal,tasted sweeter,and kept producing longer into the fall which they never done before.Also the vines kept growing until Xmas.

The patch he didn’t spray behaved  normally, regular size berries and the vines died by the end of October. A young lilac bush that normally has 3-7 flowers/season has 17 new buds forming! Tomatoes plants went crazy.We bought two plants of each type, one to be treated and one not treated.the treated plants produced about 50% more tomatoes.Also as the plants grew shoots, I pinched them off, soaked them in your formula,replanted them(this was in September) and they grew about a foot and produced a few baby sized tomatoes.AMAZING!

Bio Wash may also help resist drought.  We received this:  Alton Holt, Texas, enjoyed record oat yields in spite of last seasons extended drought. He applied no fertilizer nor used irrigation. His protein content measured 24% to 26%, compared to the normal 14% to 16%.

How does Bio Wash work?  Many highly trained agronomists are puzzled by the “out-of-the-box” yet obvious effectiveness.  The basis appears to be the incredibly small size of the sub-atomic particles that are able to penetrate and deliver nutrients to the plant.  It is not a fertilizer but apparently increases  the cation exchange capacity, electro-magnetic action of the roots and photosynthesis in the leaves.

This can improve the yield and increase the BRIX plus as a huge bonus is a  natural insect deterrent because it is an exceptionally gentle yet powerful degreaser,  it dissolves the lipid cellular membrane of small, soft bodied funguses and insects.

Bio Wash has secured Florida state permission to label our “Purely Green (PG) Oil Clean” as a soil amendment and Cation Exchange Stimulant.  To the manufacturer’s knowledge, the Cation Exchange Stimulant label is the first ever approved.

The benefits farmers are seeing include the fact that growers can substantially reduce the amount of commercial fertilizers while  significantly increasing growth, hardiness and yield.

At the same time the chelation of accumulated copper and other inorganics, redeems damaged croplands.

Last month, there was a test of the solution against insects on 90 acres of citrus.   After 10 days, a Florida state inspector searched but could not find a single Leaf Miner nor Asian Psylid.  Most aphids were gone, but a few survived.

Another benefit is that PG Oil Clean can dissolve PCBs in about one second.

Growers can actually boost yields while reducing the amount and costs of ferilizers needed.  Cristian Delano’s neighbor, Baton Rouge,  reduced his fertilizer application
by 80% and is enjoying the largest yields in ten years of gardening. His tomatoes are the largest, sweetest ones he can remember and continued to produce long past the normal harvest season.  His pepper plants normally produce about 12 peppers.  This year, single plants are producing up to 90 peppers and were still producing in late November!

Part of the benefits are likely to be temporary.  Bio wash breaks down the unused nutrients that remain in the soil.  Eventually growers will need to add additional nutrients. Considering the (1) increasing costs of fertilizers and (2) the environmental damage being caused by them growers are welcoming the reduced costs and increased profit margins.

Bio Wash is the catalyst that boosts the potential profits.    The good value is agricultural real estate where prices are low… such as Florida (due to the real estate crash and a lot of groves purchased before the crash for conversion to residential use). These groves were never developed and now the developers have abandoned or want to get rid of them at bargain prices.

Another place where agricultural real estate offers great value is in Ecuador where land has been inexpensive… the sun shines 365 days a year over rich volcanic soil.

There are opportunities in so many crops in Ecuador plus some farms have multi dimensional opportunity  a combination of beach front development and agriculture.

Delegates on Jean Marie Butterlin’s Ecuador agricultural expedition visiting a  beach front farm with…

multi dimensional opportunity.   See more on Ecuador agricultural opportunity here.  Low real estate prices… excellent climate… a growing local market and a relaxed lifestyle.

Good value.  You cannot miss making profit when you find and invest in it.   Real estate… God is not making any more for now.  Food.   The world’s population is estimated to grow from 7 to 9 billion over the next 50 years.  That’s 2 billion more mouths to feed… a huge increase in demand.

Throw them all together…  Good value in agricultural real estate improved with this non mutagenic, totally biodegradable solution and you have the prefect storm for steadiness and profit in a faster changing world.

Ecuador Agricultural Property Expedition by Jean Marie Butterlin.

May 14-15-16, 2012

Sept 17-18-19, 2012

See Ecuador agricultural property by four wheel drive.

Merri’s and my first property purchase many years ago was agricultural land… over 900 acres… formerly in sugar cane, citrus, pineapples and avocados… the top soil deep and rich.

Here is a photo of Merri feeding one of our horses.  We still have that hacienda land, Rosaspamba, (the place of the roses).

Plus we have added more agricultural land… and are looking to add more.

An excerpt from a recent message entitled Beating & Benefiting From the Economic Crash explains why: In the seven years before its peak in July 2006, the US home-price index surged 155 percent. Since then, it’s fallen 33 percent.

This creates a huge opportunity. Economic history since before WWI suggests that we’ll see the final crunch of this 15 year bear in 2011 and perhaps 2012.  Then the light at the end of the tunnel will appear… slowly at first but picking up a head of steam aiming for the next bubble of something like 2030.

The way to beat this crunch is to set your affairs so you do not lose during the next crunch and have liquidity to take advantage of the low prices and high value the crunch could bring.

There are numbers of reasonably safe pockets of opportunity.  For example inflation during these difficult economic times has helped profits on agricultural property.

Excerpts from a May 31, 2011 article “Farm boom missing Main Street” by By John Gaps III, of The Des Moines Register show what I mean:  GUTHRIE CENTER, Iowa – Fifteen miles northeast of here, a quarter of a square-mile of farmland sold for $1.3 million this spring.

Farmers can lock in about $6.73 a bushel on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for corn they will deliver to market in December, nearly twice the price a year ago.

The sustained surge in corn prices has driven the average value of an acre of Iowa farmland to $5,708, according to a March survey by the Realtors Land Institute. That’s up 19.7% from the previous six months and up from $1,865 in March 2001, according to the Institute’s Troy Louwagie. The land northeast of Guthrie Center— where fields are flat and the soil is black — sold for $8,600 per acre, according to the county assessor.

“The rural economy is very good right now despite signs of a peaking commodities market and concerns about drought creeping north from Texas, flooding along the Mississippi River, and rain-delayed corn planting in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. American farmers who grow everything from rice to sugar beets have enjoyed a year of historically high prices, said Don Roose, a trader at U.S. Commodities in West Des Moines.

It’s not just towns surrounded by crop farming that have declined amid high commodity prices.

In heavily forested west central Alabama, the town of York has suffered as the timber industry has consolidated, said Auburn sociology professor Conner Bailey, president-elect of the Rural Sociological Association.

That’s despite steadily climbing timber prices since the middle of 2009 on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

This is why in the last several years I have been writing about and adding agricultural real estate to my portfolio.

There are few places with as much agricultural potential and diversity as Ecuador. It is not surprising that many readers ask us about Ecuador farmland or agricultural property there.

Our first reply to anyone asking is… agricultural land is hard to find and get it!   Finding our hacienda took us well over a year of dedicated search.  Searching for good farmland is not like viewing a batch of properties in a town or village.  First, it often takes hours just to get to the land.  Secondly, it almost always takes hours inspecting the land.  You do not do quick walk throughs on  100 or more hectares.  One is lucky to be able to see one property a day unless you can be really very organized.

Then once you find something that looks good… the hard part begins.  Of course there is always the price!

Then there is the research.  One seemingly great property we looked at “had great water rights”  we were told.  “Then why does it have cisterns all over the place?”  we asked ourselves.  A deep check of the deeds and talking with neighbors unveiled the fact that what’s on paper does not always match precedent and reality.  There were water rights on paper, yes, but they were disputed by numerous neighbors who had for years continually cut the water lines every time the current owner installed them.  It was just pure luck that we were suspicious and turned down this property, which still has not sold.

Buying agricultural property is not like buying urban property from a title point of view.  There are no rural land registers, so deeds have to be carefully researched by an attorney.

Finally if you buy it… what’s next?   Who do you hire. What do you grow… who buys the crops?

Yet because there has been such interest, I challenged Jean Marie Butterlin to create an Ecuador Agricultural tour.   He has been working hard at this for over 6 months, and I am proud to announce that he has set up an excellent program for those who are really interested in farming in Ecuador.

Here is what Jean Marie has explained about the Ecuador real estate tours he has created and conducted.

When I was 40 years old and told my friends that I would retire at 50, they were laughing.  They are not laughing anymore!

My name is Jean Marie Butterlin and I live on one of the nicest, most affordable coasts of all South America with my wife Pascale and although I consider myself retired, I still like to work… but only at what I really like.

How did I achieve that ?

I had a plan.

Part of that plan was to move to a nice area where it was less expensive to live and much less stressful than Europe.   I found that place after traveling and inspecting most South American countries.  We chose Ecuador and more specifically Bahia as our home.

We live now as well on $2,000 a month in Bahia than we did in Europe on $10,000 a month.

When you are planning to retire and live the good life, you should look at both parts of the equation, expenses and what you can earn.I have been able to lower my expenses considerably by living in Bahia.  We live in front of the Malecon enjoying the sun 320 days per year.

But the key to retirement is really in the INCOME part of the equation.   How can you generate income without working too hard?

The answer is to have an “outside the box”  plan.  If you do what everybody else does, chances are you’ll earn what everyone else does.

A lot of younger clients on our real estate tours ask  “How can  I generate a little income in Ecuador”?  They say they would move down immediately if they could. This started me thinking  about how to show a few select clients a chance to be part of that world of retirees in Ecuador who work only at what they like.

I have put together a special plan for those seeking to move and earn in Ecuador now!

Here is the plan and here are the facts:

* Every economist is currently saying that agriculture will be the next place to invest because :

• God is not making more arable land.
• The world is running out of food.  China has been buying and leasing arable land all over Africa and in South America for example.  A lot of the smart money is going into arable all over the continent.

* Ecuador has some of the cheapest yet best agricultural land in all of South America.  The climate is best for growing as well with 365 days a year of direct sunlight.  In many parts of Ecuador, farmers can get 3 and even 4 harvests per year, depending on the water available on the property.

* However, most Ecuadorian farmers have not yet learned how to produce and manage a farm. They are lacking higher education and management skills as well as equipment.  Some Ecuador farmers still plow with oxen.

*  Many Ecuadorian farmers do not know how to sell and do not treat the farm as a real business.

There is a great opportunity that lies in this combination of cheap, arable land, the geographical place of Ecuador on the equator and lack of good agronomical skills.

Here is the chance to attend the first agri business expedition, planned for October 17, 18 and 19.

This is a tour for those who want to have an active agricultural business in Ecuador and have $100,000 minimum to invest.

This tour will be conducted over three long, jam packed days to provide you a low cost efficient way to inspect Ecuador agricultural property that is legitimately for sale at a reasonable price.

Day 1 - 9 am to 6 pm: Detailed presentations by agri engineers and specialists of several type of agri businesses. These presentations  include costs, types of soils for each type of crop, risk analysis, potential profits, timing, where to find the buyers of crops,  introduction to buyers  looking for specific crops.

On the tour we look “outside the box” at crops that can for example produce “biofuel”. We’ll look at land where one company in Manta will buy every available crop at market price.   We know the owners of that company and you will be introduced to them.

Day 2: Visits farms for sale.  Here is one farm we inspected on our first tour.  This agri property has 203 hectares (507 acres) divided into:

28 hectares (70 cares) of balsa trees.  In 5 years these will fetch $30,000 a hectare.

30 hectares (75 acres) of African palm trees in production (the nuts fetch $250 per ton).

- 140 hectares (350 acres) of pasture sufficient for 200 head of cattle or other crops that can produce an excellent return.

- 3 small

and one large river along the property with water availability.

- Close to the main road

- $6600/hectare ($2,640 an acre) asking including a small casita for caretakers.

Day 3: Q&A’s with the agri specialists…with round table discussions. We break into small groups to discuss in more details each business its costs and potential profits.

We have inspected and investigated all properties prior paying special attention to three special issues:

* water on site
* access roads
* good port close

We only show land that has water in Manabi province near Manta the second largest port in Ecuador.

We have investigated electricity, pricing and title plus will have speakers during breakfast and dinners who will discuss these  issues and the legal matters pertaining to agri businesses in Ecuador.

These experts will be available for consulting during the tour and later… covering technical matters on which crops are best suited for each soil and what times of the year are best for planting and harvest.  The tour pays special attention to reviewing the marketing aspect of each crop and where to find buyers.

We use our contacts with local people were born in the area… who know the land owners… who know what the “market” price should be and we do not show farmland where the seller is asking an unrealistic price or if there are any doubts about ownership or clear title.

We also provide administration, accounting and legal consultants who will answer questions about owning and running a company in Ecuador, a civil code country and very different from the US and Canada which run on common law.

Included in the tour fee:

*  Agri engineers who can help you start your business, provide services and the follow up.

* Legal experts in incorporation, administration accounting etc..

* Experts in marketing agricultural crops.

Although we do not advise being absentee owner, we can provide all the services needed to run the business with our agricultural team.

If your agricultural knowledge is limited, we have the experts who will help you through the learning curve.

The big Question is “How much can someone make in agri business in Ecuador?”

The Answer:  We will not show any businesses that do not produce on a regular basis at least 10% net return. Many agri businesses you will see can pay off land costs within 1 to 2 years.

The Agri Business Expedition fee is $1,990/single $2,990 couple.

For efficiency and logistics, this tour is strictly limited to 16 people… 4 persons per four wheel drive vehicle.

Ecuador has many Agricultural Advantages and we have been recommending the idea of investing in Ecuador agriculture for years.

Here is an excerpt from an April 10, 2007 message  at this site entitled “Ecuador Agriculture”: Ecuador agriculture can offer a better lifestyle and opportunity as good prices rise. Sometimes we forget the importance of life’s basics…such as food. Until those basics cost more.

Ecuador agriculture is important because Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal included an article that began: “Prices of farm goods are climbing – in part because of demand for crop-based fuels – pushing up food prices around the world and creating a new source of inflationary pressure. The rise in food prices is already causing distress among consumers in some parts of the world — especially relatively poor nations like India and China. If the trend gathers momentum, it could contribute to slower global growth by forcing consumers to spend less on other items or spurring central banks to fight inflation by raising interest rates.”

This is one of the wonderful benefits of Ecuador agriculture, the extreme supply of excellent but low cost food.

Ecuador is a Garden of Eden and here is a fact you probably did not know. The inhabitants of this region developed more than half the agricultural products that the world eats today. Among these are more than many varieties of corn and potato. These foods also include squash, beans, peppers, peanuts, popcorn, yucca and quinoa.

They even learned to use freezing night temperatures and warm days to freeze dry potatoes and create potato flour.

At the market, three blocks from our hotel where we shop.  Open air restaurants in the front of the market offer excellent meals, vegetarian, or chicken, steak, fish or pork for about $1.

There are numbers of  fresh picked vegetables offered by happy friendly people.

And every type of fruit you can imagine, from pineapple to coconut, papaya, mango, apples, pears, bananas, berries and numerous other tropical fruits all at bargains prices by Western standards and ripe all year round.

Many exotic spices at a 1/20th the cost in the US or Canada. This makes life especially wonderful and inexpensive.

This creates opportunity as well.

Ecuador’s geographical location gives it a distinct advantage in agricultural production. Its exports include asparagus, bananas, broccoli, cocoa, coffee, flowers, hearts of palm, lentils, papaya, passion fruit, pineapple, plantain, mango, red beans, and tomatoes. Ecuador has mainly an agricultural economy, though oil is its largest source of revenue, and industry has expanded. Agriculture employs 32 percent of the workforce. 6.4 million acres is used in agriculture. Permanent pasture covers 17 percent of the total area and forests nearly 43 percent. In the highlands subsistence agriculture and the production of staples for the urban areas are predominant (corn, wheat, barley, potatoes, pulses, and various vegetables). In the coastal lowlands tropical crops are grown to export. Ecuador is the largest exporter of bananas in the world and among the largest exporters of shrimp and roses.

Merri and I have been recommending Ecuador for almost 15 years…we have been recommending investing in agricultural property for even longer. Agricultural property in Ecuador makes excellent sense for those who like both ideas.  We are very pleased that Jean Marie has created this excellent tour.  We are happy to share this opportunity with you.

Gary

Tour price includes local transportation to the farms but does not include domestic airfare from Quito to Manta and lodging.  Meals are NOT included.

The Agri Business Expedition fee is $1,990/single $2,990 couple.

For efficiency and logistics this tour is strictly limited to 16 people… 4 persons per four wheel drive vehicle.

Who Will Benefit From This Tour

Attendees on this tour will range from those who want their own sustainable organic farm like Neverlands Farm in Loja to those who want a small agricultural property to enhance existing income… to those who want to run medium and larger agri businesses.

Small – Organic  – Sustainable

Neverland Organic Farms is a great case study of people creating an isolated sustainable organic farm

See about the organic farm here

Income Supplement – Beautiful Way of Life

A good case study for those looking for a way of life and income supplement is this  six acre organic tomato farm that delegates on on a real estate tour visited.   This shows a perfect little Ecuador retirement operation, so where should we start?

I think it is with the guinea pigs…

The farm has many of them in these cages.

Clover on the farm feeds them.  Their manure helps organically fertilize the corn.

The corn husks are mixed with manure to be used as fertilizer and the corn feeds the…

pigeons…

chickens and…

pigs.

All of these animals create more organic fertilizer that this farmer uses to grow tomatoes.

Here is the Ecuador organic farmer with our driver Jorge, Alberto Verdezoto and Peggy Carper.

Tomatoes grow quickly here it seems.  These newly planted organic tomatoes will be ready in three weeks. I find this hard to believe but this is what the farmer said.  Though my Spanish has been known to miss on occasion.

These will look like…

this and…

provide

income that…

would provide a nice retirement income… $25,000 a year we are told.

Other benefits include farm fresh eggs.

Trout are in the ponds next to the pigeon coops.

A good case study for a specific and large Ecuador agri operation is the farming operation set up by Young Living Essential oils.

After creating a marketing system for the oils and farming in the USA, Gary and his wife…

moved to Ecuador… began a large farming operation as well as…

there own processing and a health spa.

Ecuador is a perfect place for many types of agriculture… large and small.  Find your farm in the safe and efficient way on an Ecuador Agricultural Tour.

Included in the price is all transportation from the hotel to the farms.  Airfares to, from and within Ecuador, hotels and meals are NOT included.

The Agri Business Expedition fee is $1,990/single $2,990 couple.

For efficiency and logistics this tour is strictly limited to 16 people… 4 persons per four wheel drive vehicle.

There is a new project of Ecuador Beach Real Estate near Canoa.

We have long predicted that the greatest growth on Ecuador’s coast would come north of the Chone Estuary after the bridge at Bahia was completed. This is beginning to happen now of course since the bridge was completed last year.

Here is a paid advertisement from the International Engineering and Development Company  YUMA International Compania Limitada Aprobado for community building  in Coastal Ecuador.

Mike Grabowski at Ladera Pacifica

We would like to introduce a new uniquely designed gated community real estate development project in coastal Ecuador, Ladera Pacifica translated from Spanish means peaceful Pacific hillside

Ladera Pacifica is located in the protected dry tropical forest Hacienda el Recreo. 700 hectares bountiful with flora and fauna unique to this zone. There is much more to enjoy in coastal Ecuador besides ocean beaches washing up to your patio door.  Ecuador itself has miles of pristine beaches to explore as well as endless activities to enjoy…exploring the Galapagos and Isla de la Plata, whale watching suffing, climbing, paragliding, natural trail walking, horse riding, beach combing and enjoying your own private sunset from your new roof top terrace.

Ladera Pacifica features pristine nature at your doorstep.

Situated in coastal Ecuador, just a short distance from Bahia de Caraquez, overlooking the fishing and surf town of Canoa, just a few hundred meters up from the beach, safely located at an average elevation of 70 meters above the sea level, in the environmentally protected reserve – Hacienda el Recreo is an exciting new gated community Ladera Pacifica, of 36 luxury homes, designed to rigorous standards, with quality and sustainability unprecedented in Ecuador.

Vision of Our Gated Community

These beautifully designed homes are large and functional, at 1666.307 sq. ft (154.805 sq meters) indoor area, plus additional 2150.52 sq. ft. (174.6 sq. meters) of outdoor living.

The areas include a roof top terrace, outdoor kitchen and shower, balconies, backyard garden, as well as 500 sq. ft. of pivoting full height and width windows, taking advantage of spectacular views and fresh ocean breezes .

Reasons Why This Project is Unique

* Avant-garde engineering and architectural design.

* Ecological preservation of nature and sustainable development is our vision obtained through a due diligence approach.

* The environmental and economical advantages of strategic location are endless: located on the ecological reserve, in hands reach of all new city infrastructure including Ruta de Sol highway, San Vincente national and Manta international airports, Chone River bridge, supermarkets, banks, restaurants, farmers markets, and charming fishing villages.

* Government interest in attracting foreign investments to the area with tax incentives and infrastructure improvements.

* Elevated at 70 m from the sea level to insure your investment from natural disasters.

* Due diligence in complying with local regulation and customs.

The good example of our revolutionary thinking is using the modular building system (http://www.imbmobusa.com/) which provides many benefits over conventional methods, including:

Stronger – Greater Resistance to Earthquakes & Hurricanes
Faster Construction Time
Better Thermal & Acoustic Insulation
Lower Weight, Higher Shear Load Resist
Pex Plumbing Systems – Better Efficiency,
Greater Resistance to Earthquake Damage
Environmentally Responsible – Energy Savings, No Wood Used

Also unique to this project, we are manufacturing on site, full length pivoting windows, so we can take advantage of spectacular vistas, sunsets and fresh ocean breezes

Ladera Pacifica is happy to introduce pre-constructional price of US$93/sq. foot for first six (6) homes on first come-first serve basis!

Hurry, this offer will not be extended!

The payment plan as following: $1000 to reserve your condo, 40% at the start of construction, 40% at the completion of structure and 20% minus $1000 deposit at finish.

Let us help you in Ecuador

Here is what an Ecuador Living Club member just wrote upon arriving at the Inn Land of the Sun: Just Beautiful, Merri.  We safely made it to this gorgeous place and arrived around 22:00 local time last night. Consuelo is amazing and the roses in our room are stunning! 23 hours door to door with a 2-hour delay between Madrid and Quito. Quite a trip! Now we’ll do our best to adjust to the timezone and elevation and regain our breath. Exciting.   Thank you for your assistance in all this. Surely you made things a lot easier for us than they might have been otherwise.

Learn more about Ecuador Living Club services here.

We have just posted an updated “Ecuador Visa Report”  and a list of “Frequently Asked Ecuador Visa Questions” updated to February 16, 2012.

When Merri and I first came to Ecuador…. nearly two decades ago…staying on was really easy.   As thousands of expats have moved to this Andean nation the government has progressively tightened the rules.

This is a natural progression. Other Latin countries have become even more difficult to become resident than Ecuador.

One reader for example just wrote:  Gary, We have received your letters for a while and find them very interesting. Thank you. You seem to really love what you do and that shows.

We may be interested in relocating to Ecuador. We have lived in Panama and currently live in Uruguay, which is very lovely, yet the bureaucracy involving residency/passport is hard to take- 2 years and we are still “temporary residents” despite using the “best” law firm in the country for this!

This is why it is important to stay updated on Ecuador visa regulations.

Dr. Andres Cordova speaking to Ecuador Living subscribers.

Ecuador attorney just wrote:  Dear Gary:  I got several emails from the original Ecuador Visa Report made available to your Ecuador Living Club subscribers. I have freshened the original with some Ecuador pictures and a couple of corrections and have made a new report with FAQs. We get lots of repeat questions. I will issue a second VISA FAQs and update report sometime down the line.

Ecuador migration offices have been flooded with visa requests since some time ago and have also undergone some audits. Changes in procedures have taken place and things are much stricter now so strict compliance and overview of each case is important (it’s always been to us). Processing times have expanded too.

Warmest regards,

Andrés

Cuenca Real Estate Tour

Cuenca real estate offers excellent quality and value for expats visiting Ecuador. Here is a shot of downtown Cuenca.

Downtown Cuenca.

Ecuador real estate tours are the most efficient way to learn about Ecuador’s real estate market.

These tours help you the maximum number of properties in the shortest period of time.

These tours offer the following benefits:

You save time. When your time is limited, you cannot afford to wait or worse miss seeing properties because sellers are no show or you cannot find a location. We review the properties you will see in advance.  We schedule the most efficient way to travel…from each property to the next.  We double (and triple) check that the seller will be at the property!  We check again by cell phone even while we are on the tour.  This saves a lot of time as Ecuador sellers have a non show reputation.

Frequently, sellers get busy and forget to show up or arrive hours late.

Plus with our multi lingual tour guides…you do not get lost!

You Save Money! The real estate tours have taken thousands of delegates to see Ecuador real estate over the past decade. We know what prices are being asked for real estate throughout Ecuador and can help tour delegates avoid overpriced property.

You gain hotel discounts and savings on guide and taxi fares during the tour. This savings alone is often worth more than the cost of the tour.

Sellers know our reputation for bringing buyers to Ecuador and that we do not charge commission so they often give our tour delegates discounts which we help negotiate for you.

You Gain Safety. Our tour guides know which areas are to be avoided.  They know which restaurants would make you ill. Plus we maintain a list of English speaking Ecuador attorneys who have successfully helped many delegates buy real estate.

These tours do not sell Ecuador real estate and the tour conductors do not participate in real estate commissions. The mission statement of the tours is to provide an objective view of the Ecuador real estate market with no hidden agendas.

Cuenca is a colonial Spanish tile roofed colonial city that sits in a broad valley surrounded by lush green mountains.

Cuenca is perhaps Ecuador’s most beautiful city… one of the favorite choices of expats.  The four  photos below from skyscraperlife.com shows why.

One’s impression of Cuenca when viewed from afar is orderly and clean and beautiful colonial rooftops!

Up close… one feels stately and…

colonial.

You see a very wide variety of real estate on the Cuenca real estate tour.

Cuenca is easily Ecuador’s (and perhaps all of South America’s) most beautiful city with a distinctly European look and feel. In a previous article I reported that MSN has named Cuenca the best retirement city in the world.

Cuenca is both modern and classic in its architecture. This is an aristocratic town with hard workers and a solid middle class. The downtown area is remarkably clean and is built around a central park bordered by a huge golden cathedral with brilliant ceramic domes. There is a sense of order in the narrow cobblestone streets which for the most part run on a grid. The markets are filled with color and exotic design, and there is no sense of crime or poverty found here.

Tall Willows and Eucalyptus are abundant along the river banks of the four rivers running through its center where you’ll see locals washing their colorful clothes. Red tiles on white stucco sparkling in the brilliant sun are the predominate vista.

Cuenca has perhaps the largest North American population in Ecuador though it is a much smaller city (350,000) than Quito or Guayaquil which have many millions of people. It’s large enough to offer almost all goods and services one could want without the hustle and bustle of a big city.

Further on you can find plantations with entrances lined with sugar cane, bananas, mango, papaya, mango, naranjilla, babaco, orange, lemon, lime, yucca, coffee plants, bread fruit, guavas, achote, grapefruit, coconuts and all the vegetables you could eat. Also abundant are avocado, bamboo, corn, potatoes and tomatoes.

These veritable gardens led to rustic old farm houses graced by birds of every type, humming birds, toucan, choco, bromeliad fly catchers, tanagers, finches and animals include agouti, tapir, fox and deer.

You can find land with horses, cows, pigs, numerous dogs, chickens and even llamas which are indigenous.

Here is a country property you’ll see during the Cuenca Real Estate tours in the Paute Valley.

Paute Valley

About 35-40 minutes from downtown Cuenca there is a quaint town called Paute.

Paute is known as a garden spot and is where we purchase most of our plants and flowers.

In a valley about 10 minutes before reaching the town is a very special community and resort called Uzhupud.

Uzhupud means “Hot Chili Pepper Valley”. This name gracefully combines two native languages: Uzhu which in Quichua means hot chili pepper, and Pud which in Cañari means plain, flat, and wide place.

Since around the end of colonial times, the Hacienda Uzhupud belonged to the Muñoz-Cárdenas family, grandparents of Francisco Febres Cordero y Muñoz (1854-1910). He spent his childhood and young adulthood at this place. As time went by, in 1984, during the papacy of Pope Juan Pablo II, he became the Santo Hermano Miguel of the Catholic Church. In 1870 his relatives Vintimilla-Muñoz bought Uzhupud from the Muñoz-Cárdenas family. As you can see this property has a long and colorful history.

Over time some of the land was sold off, but the original hacienda has been preserved and is now one of the best resorts in the area featuring amenities like horseback riding, a swimming pool, high cuisine, open air dining areas, lush gardens and more.

Hostalria Uzhupud

Naturally locals were attracted to the area and the resort. Throughout the 80’s and 90’s homes were built by wealthy people from the surrounding areas and it became one of the best kept real estate secrets.

Today the secret has been broken and 5 homes are being released to the market in a gated community with Spanish architecture. Each home has absolutely gorgeous views of the mountains and the Paute River that flows all the way to the Amazon River. Each home features high ceilings, open areas, large bedrooms and baths, outdoor patios and more. The development will have a common swimming pool only for the 5 homes; BBQ and picnic area and a community fruit and vegetable garden.

House #1 and #2 are 1,507 square feet and are $135,000.

House #3 is 1,076 Square feet and is $145,000.

House #4 and #5 are 1,215 square feet and are $155,000.

All in all Cuenca, and the area immediately surrounding it, has a great deal to offer no matter what your preferences. Whether you want to live in an apartment, a home or buy land and build your own – it’s all possible at prices that are a throw back to times past.

Speaking of prices that are from times gone by, our friends and representatives in Cuenca, Stephen Milden and Leanna Palermo, reported today that they went to a local co-op and bought 12 bags of organic fruits and vegetables for only $20.91! If they had purchased the same items in the US it would have cost them close to $200.00 and everything was locally grown. They will be delighted to be your hosts and show you their adopted home during the tour.

Not only will you have an opportunity to see a cross section of available land, homes and apartments, you will be able to experience the local culture by way of fantastic restaurants, galleries, artisan shops and a walking tour along cobblestone streets that will take your breath away.

Cuenca is one of Ecuador’s most popular towns and we are pleased to be able to advertise these Cuenca Ecuador real estate tours.

Ecuador real estate tours are the most efficient way to learn about Ecuador’s real estate market.

These tours help you the maximum number of properties in the shortest period of time.

These tours offer the following benefits:

You save time. When your time is limited, you cannot afford to wait or worse miss seeing properties because sellers are no show or you cannot find a location. We review the properties you will see in advance.  We schedule the most efficient way to travel…from each property to the next.  We double (and triple) check that the seller will be at the property!  We check again by cell phone even while we are on the tour.  This saves a lot of time as Ecuador sellers have a non show reputation.

Frequently, sellers get busy and forget to show up or arrive hours late.

Plus with our multi lingual tour guides…you do not get lost!

You Save Money! The real estate tours have taken thousands of delegates to see Ecuador real estate over the past decade. We know what prices are being asked for real estate throughout Ecuador and can help tour delegates avoid overpriced property.

You gain hotel discounts and savings on guide and taxi fares during the tour. This savings alone is often worth more than the cost of the tour.

Sellers know our reputation for bringing buyers to Ecuador and that we do not charge commission so they often give our tour delegates discounts which we help negotiate for you.

You Gain Safety. Our tour guides know which areas are to be avoided.  They know which restaurants would make you ill. Plus we maintain a list of English speaking Ecuador attorneys who have successfully helped many delegates buy real estate.

Cuenca:

Cuenca Rentals for expats are especially in demand. Here is a good value top end Cuenca rental next door to Villa Nova on the Rio Tomebamba within walking distance of Old Town and New Town in an ideal location.

floors, with master suites on each floor along with two other bedroom and another bathroom and 2nd living room on the upper floor. We had a family

All sharing the kitchen, laundry room, dining room and living room

Here are full details: Condo, 4 Bedrooms, 3.5+ Baths (Sleeps 6-8)

Nearby stone steps lead up from the river to the city center’s cathedrals, restaurants, museums, and markets. A bridge leads across the river to parks, supermarkets, modern hospitals, and a movie complex; all within four or five blocks of the apartment.

Casa-Rio is modern and spacious, especially suitable for families or groups, and less expensive than a hotel. It has all the conveniences and comforts of home in the midst of a vibrant native culture.

You can surf the internet, watch DirecTV with many English-language channels, do your laundry, cook your favorite foods, or just sip coffee on your private balcony overlooking the river.

Casa-Rio is a two story, 3500 square feet home with two master suites with queen beds and en suite baths. One bath has a jetted tub in addition to a separate shower. The third bedroom has twin beds and opens onto a large balcony. The fourth bedroom is set up as an office with a double sofabed. The third bath has a bathtub and separate shower.

From the balcony you can watch daily life in a different culture. See kids walking to school and folks getting on and off the bus. In the park across the river, watch families playing soccer, jogging on the path, or just eating ice cream. Listen to concerts and events. Observe parades and maybe even demonstrations. Watch women doing laundry in the river and sweethearts sitting in the sun. All without leaving the balcony!

When you arrive you will be met at the airport and taken to the condo. Your driver will give you the keys and explain how things work. He is also available for hire to help with translation or to take you anywhere you want to go, such as the mineral baths or the Inca ruins at Ingapirca.

In the condo is information on local places of interest. There are directions to markets, restaurants, and an English bookstore with helpful owners. We have included the phone number of a good doctor who speaks English and will come to the house in the middle of the night if you need him.

The owners have set up Casa-Rio to make your vacation relaxed and interesting as they want you to be comfortable while you enjoy Ecuador!

Cotacachi Mayor’s House

Last modified on 2009-01-21 02:33:02 GMT. 0 comments. Top.

Recent messages looked at how Merri and I search for Cotacachi real estate.

The road paving we have been tracking is now done.

In two directions…

in less than two weeks.

We keep our eyes open every day and the search pays off.

Today, near Primavera II condos…

Around the corner from Cotacachi’s Mayor’s house (which is for sale) …

we spotted two old houses for sale.  This one is $25,000.

and this, $36,000.

These fixer uppers have huge lots, in the center of the village. They may be real sleepers.  We’ll see as we’ll inspect them on our Imbaburra real estate tour that begins tomorrow.

You can gain Cotacachi real estate information and Ecuador real estate contacts as an Ecuador Living subscriber. See details here.

Speaking of sleepers, this excerpt from today’s password protected multi currency course shows why European shares may be sleepers as well.

Here is the excerpt:

This multi currency update has three portions. First we see anther inflation indicator. Second we update our search for value. Third we end with some answers to questions from lesson one of our new updated primer course.

Recent inflationary events include the support by US authorities of Bank of America with a guarantee of liquidity and capital. B of A faces losses of up to $118 billion dollars.

The government gets shares in the bank worth $20 billion.  In other words the government stumps up about $88 billion (that it does not have).  This is inflation.

Citibank in trouble as well.

Jyske Global Asset Management wrote in its last market update three days ago:

Fears of further credit losses and rumours of another large US bank being nationalized dragged the international stock market down this week. The New Year rally last week is already forgotten, and investors are anticipating new lows in 2009.

Citigroup Inc. posted an $8.29 billion loss, only a few days after the announcement of their plans to sell the control of Smith Barney to rival Morgan Stanley.

Sales at U.S. retailers dropped in December for the sixth consecutive month (first time since 1992) and the most in three years.

S&P cut Greece’s long-term credit rating to A- with a stable outlook, due to its public and private debt and the budget deficit. The downgrade makes Greece the lowest rated country in the Euro zone.

Market participators are now speculating whether a Euro exit may become an option for some members of the Euro-bloc, analysts view Greece as the weakest economy within the Euro zone.

The European Central Bank (ECB) Thursday cut the Euro zone interest rate to the lowest level in more than 3 years.

As expected the main policy rate was cut by a half percentage point to 2%. The Danish Central bank followed the ECB with an even bigger cut of 75 basis pts to 3%.

#1: Falling interest rates are indicators for increased activity in share markets.

#2: Combine this with the fact that stock funds saw huge redemptions in 2008.

#3: Add in the next fact that international equity funds were among the most redeemed losing about a fourth of their total assets in 2008.

U.S. stock funds only had redemptions of about 10% of their assets.  Bond funds on the other hand experienced positive flows in 2008.

This increases my enthusiasm for international shares…especially in Europe.

Low interest rates plus markets that are oversold plus inflation all bode well for shares.

There are four ways to fight inflation; real estate, your own business, commodities and equities.   So depressed international equities in an atmosphere of low interest rates spells opportunity.

These three factors are the elements that create value because value investors are generally bucking the trend.

This is why last year my biggest equity position was in the Jyske Invest European Equity fund.  I picked a fund that was invested mostly in markets that Michael Keppler of Keppler Asset Mangement viewed as having the best value.

Keppler has changed some of his rankings this month so let’s review the change and see if my position still makes sense.

Let’s look at the geographical breakdown of the Jyske Invest European Equities fund I hold now.

This fund has departed quite a lot from the synchronicity it enjoyed with Keppler’s top values when I invested two years ago.  The fund’s portfolio is spread here now:

UK  24%
Germany 16%
Switzerland 13%
France 12%
Spain 7%
Netherlands 4.5%
Sweden 4%
Spain 4%
Finland 3%
Italy      2%
Greece 2%
Denmark 1.5%
Norway 1.5%
Luxembourg .5%
Ireland  0.5%
Austria 0.5%

The fund’s managers report says:

There are prospects of uncertainty in 2009. The world economy is struggling
and the optimism has turned into pessimism. Central banks and  governments have been busy introducing rescue packages and  interest-rate cuts. The help has been offered, but is it sufficient and when will it begin to show an effect? We
expect that 2009 will bring wide swings in the equity market. A lasting upturn is not likely to be just around  the corner. We are still looking at a longer period characterised by uncertainty before the optimists outnumber the pessimists.

For the fund we prefer cheap shares with prospects of earnings growth. That type of shares has historically yielded the best returns.

Though this fund no longer has the same value synchronicity with Keppler that it previously had, I’ll continue to hold this as I plan to increase my equity position. I can balance this fund’s holdings to better match Keppler’s rankings by adding Hong Kong, Singapore, Italian and other funds or ETFs.

You can learn more about Keppler’s market updates and the ETFs we use in our multi currency portfolio as a multi currency susbcriber.

Until next update, good global investing
