Kicking Back With Real Estate

By Jason King


When people wake up in the morning, many of them will hit the snooze button on their alarms. Then they will get up and go to work. The thing about working is that it costs a lot of energy and can leave a person both mentally and physically drained. Which is why it is important to have the proper amount of rest. Now, a lucky few will be able to go on out of town trips, vacations in which they can really relax. An even smaller and more fortunate number of individuals may actually be able to seriously consider getting their hands on 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.

Now, sometimes, a vacation can turn into something a little more permanent. To get residency or citizenship, the checkbook should be ready and the account linked to the checks should have at least six zeroes and two commas. This is because buying citizenship can run up costs of at least a quarter million, and that is in US dollars.

But if a person wants to own property but does not want to move to an island full time, then they still have option. Hotels and resorts are popular with tourists, which mean that they can be teeming with thousands of strangers during certain seasons. A vacation home insures a measure of privacy while still being relaxing.

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.

Tourists can be rather annoying, even to other tourists. But a resort is still the best way to go for short term trips. The cost of a house is difficult to justify if it is occupied for thirty out of three hundred and sixty five days a year.

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.
