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 an island. It is however more properly called Saint Christopher island. It does have a neighbor, Nevis, and along with it, composes the nation of the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis. Hint, the name of the country comes from the names of the islands that make it up.

The main reason that many individuals with a little bit of money in their pockets want to get a piece of the real estate game on a tropical island is exactly because of that. The part about it being on a tropical island. If they are not going to relax on the beach themselves, they can at least charge other a fee to relax on the beaches that they own.

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, for those who want to vacation forever, a hotel can be expensive. Rooms and room service can add up. Which means that it may be cheaper to just pull the trigger on a vacation home. Sure, a house is expensive. But hotel living is not sustainable over the long term.

Of course, there is the option of purchasing property only to turn into a money making scheme. Even an empty lot can be quite expensive when situated right on the water. It is then necessary to make some of the money spent back, and the best way to that would simply be to flip it. Unless there is some sort of cataclysmic weather phenomena, the investment should be safe.

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.

Living in paradise can be very nice. In most cities, sleeping until noon more than three days in a row can be interpreted as a cry for help, that life has spiraled out of control. But no one is going to judge a person for oversleeping on an island. The vibe is just more laid back.

Life is not easy. But there are places where it can be. Living in those places should not be something that is done on impulse, however. There needs to be some forethought.
