Kicking Back With Real Estate

By Jason King


Vacations are times wherein people can relax and unwind, to take the yoke of the modern world off of their shoulders and lie back. Now, some people are active vacationers, which means that they will go to a foreign city, do some shopping, go on a tour, and check out some museums. Then others are a little bit lazier, preferring instead to spend free time lounging around. The former are more likely to end up in the cities of the old world, while the latter will likely end up on the beach. Now, the latter will sometimes wish to extend their free time, sometimes indefinitely, to escape the rat race entirely. So they may find the inclination to look into some St Kitts real estate.

St Kitts is actually a nickname. The proper name is St Christopher island. Along with its neighbor Nevis, ins composes the country of the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis, named for the two islands that comprise it.

The thing about the island is that it is tropical. Which means that, for the majority of the time, the weather can be warm. The waters around it are clean and clear, because tourism is a huge sector of the economy. The reason people want real estate there is because of the fact it is essentially a tropical paradise all year round, or at least for most of the year.

Relocating to a new country is never cheap. But for really rich people, they may be allowed to move to the Federation by simply cutting a check worth at least a cool two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Now this amount can vary depending on how many family members one intends to bring with them when they go to the islands.

Now, a person can purchase citizenship, but does not have to actually live in the new country full time. Sometimes, they can also purchase real estate in a certain place but not actually live for the majority of the year. There are things called vacation homes, where people will purchase a house or something similar in an area rife with tourism, and then stay in that residence instead of in a hotel when they go on their trips.

Now, money is great. It means freedom and security. It also means being able to buy food. Which means that everyone is going to need it. Which is why some individuals invest in the island, buying up properties to either flip for a profit or develop for a profit.

Now, buying property can be a little extreme. So a person can opt for a time share, where they own part of a property for a certain time of year. Or they can just to a resort, less privacy, but likely more cost effective since they do not have to pay for their own staff.

Island living can have its perks. For people who want to relax, the near constant sunshine and warm water should be more than capable of helping with that. No one judges a person for sleeping until noon on an island either.

Buying properties can be a great investment. Whether it be money or enjoyment, an owner can get a lot out of a purchase. But there are steps that should be taken beforehand.
