Chile Property Investment Guide
2012 Edition
-Top 10 areas in Chile with the most investment potential today
-Find out where the jobs, the infrastructure improvements, and the
next hot spots are going to be
-Little known property markets that can deliver 25% returns during bad
years and 100% or more during good ones
-Foreign investment in Chile growing as people realize the country's
economy is one of the most stable in the world
Why Invest in Chile Today?
For most people around the world, there's a lot of uncertainty when it comes to investing right now. Many are scared to invest in anything at all and guard their hard earned dollars in savings accounts that earn next to nothing, often less than 1% in interest per year, because they don't know what kind of investments are safe these days.
If you ever read the newspaper, listen to talk radio shows, or watch the evening news, you are probably well aware that the outlook for home prices and job prospects in most of the US and Europe is downright dismal. Many people figure they will just try to ride things out until the economy improves.
The thing is if you look at countries that have been in similar situations before with high debt and increasing government spending, you can see that sometimes recessions last 10, 15, even 20 years. Sometimes the economic problems lead to social problems as people can no longer afford the house they live in, the car they drive, or the food they normally eat.
Usually, even when certain parts of the globe are suffering from budget issues and stagnating economies, there are still fortunes to be made in others. For instance, during the Great Depression in the US, some countries in South America were booming and were among the richest on the planet at the time.
What most people don't know is that a similar situation is developing today. Median wages are still quite low in Chile, but they are rising, and so are property prices and consumer spending. Prices are still much lower in Chile
than for similar properties in the US or Europe but every year, the demand for housing and property increases substantially.
Chile doesn't hold the same risks as places like Florida or southern Spain did before the crash because the market here isn't full of speculators. You've probably heard about China's empty cities, built because of poor central planning. Nothing could be farther from the truth in Chile. The market here primarily consists of end users, people who are buying homes and apartments to live in.
Some areas covered in this guide are already experiencing a housing shortage and as more foreign investors arrive in Chile, the upward pressure on prices will be extreme.
The Chile Property Investment Guide shows you where to buy
-A brand new apartment close to downtown for under $35,000 USD
-Fertile farmland with numerous water sources for $5,000 per hectare
(that's about $2,000 per acre)
-Larger properties with prime subdivision potential starting at around $70,000
-Timberland that pays for itself
-Ocean view properties in up and coming tourist destinations
Here are a few excerpts for the Chile Property Investment Guide:
-There is a very good chance that this area will become thenext hot spot in Santiago. If you are familiar with neighborhoods in the US that were seriously gentrified during the 1990s or 2000s such as Wicker Park in Chicago or certain parts of Brooklyn and Oakland, then you will understand the potential that ------- holds. It is significantly cheaper than.....
-As this area is being revalued, some smaller lots are fetching $40-$60/m2, meaning that if you bought a 5,000 m2 for $100,000, subdivided it into 5 lot of 1,000 m2, you could resell them for a total of between $200,000 and $300,000. This is a pretty sure way to make 100% or 200% on your investment within a couple of years and if all of the proposed projects in this area happen before you sell, you could be looking at an even bigger return.
-This is farm country and prices are cheap, especially around --------. Prices rise closer to -------- and continue rising as you head east towards the ---------. The average price/hectare in the region for the period from 1999-2008 was about $7,800 USD. While that is the average, it is possible to find property for closer to $5,000/hectare or $2,000/acre.
Property Search throughout Latin America
Over the last 7 years, I've traveled up and down Latin America searching for the all around best property investments available. I'll admit, I had a lot of criteria that had to be met before an area could become a potential candidate. I wanted a place that was safe, fairly modern with a certain level of sophistication, a place where property taxes were low, where you can legally purchase land outright in your own name as a foreigner, where corruption is uncommon, somewhere with a strong and growing middle class, where the government is friendly towards business, and where the rule of law is clear and transparent.
On top of all that, I was looking for a place that offered something better than your average 5% or 6% annual growth. I was looking for a place that was seriously undervalued and that could deliver bigger gains once discovered. I traveled extensively through 11 countries in Latin America, interviewing expats, business owners, realtors, etc. in order to get a good feel for what the local market was like. Every time I would feel like I found a spot with potential, I would find out that violent crime was a problem in the area, or that the local police force or government was highly corrupt, or that the property laws in the country were not as solid as I had hoped. In some countries, I found that as a foreigner you can only hold property inside of a company, meaning there are lots of extra lawyer fees that come up year after year.
During these travels and investigations, I was also very weary of property bubbles. I told myself I would not buy in any area where property had already appreciated drastically in the last 10 years. I found that many of the desirable areas of central America had already increased in price 3 or 4 fold within the last few years and at the same time, their governments were in a questionable situation due to excess spending and heavy debt. To tell you the truth, at one point I became very discouraged and even considered giving up on this quest. Identifying an area with all the right charateristics I was looking for seemed next to impossible.
The Next Silicon Valley?
I decided to take a trip to Chile and spent a few months surveying the property situation on the ground. If you know much about international business, economics, and geopolitics, you may already know that Chile has one of the lowest debt levels on the planet currently. It also is the world's largest copper producer and currently has several emerging industries that are just starting to come on line. Many people in the know are now saying Chile is on its way to becoming the next Silicon Valley due to its budding technology sector.
I knew I had found a country with big potential but I also noticed that certain areas would benefit far more from these changes than others. Upon realizing this, I knew I would need to spend a lot more time in the country in order to really identify where the home run type of investments could be made. You probably know what I'm talking about, those places where one or two investment properties could set me up for the rest of my life, where I would never have to worry about the 9-5 schedule again.
More About Chile
Before I go on, you should know that Chile has a growing middle class and incomes are increasing all across the population. It is known as the least corrupt nation in all of Latin America and has built up a large savings from it's copper revenues in order to have a very solid footing for any future downturns the world economy may see.
The economy of Chile resembles that of the USA in the 1950's in many ways, just before the interstate highway system was put in place. It is a country with vast natural resources, a small but growing population, a very friendly business climate, and unmatched natural beauty. Best of all, most parts of the country are still largely undiscovered. When word finally does get out about Chile, don't expect property bargains to last very long. Inteligent people with money in the bank will be buying properties as fast as they can.
Reasons To Be Cautious With
Property Investments In Chile
Having said all that, I should warn you that at the moment the property market in Chile is quite immature, especially outside of Santiago. The MLS (Multiple Listings Service) doesn't exist here like it does in the US and realtors tend to have small lists of properties available. In some areas, particularly where prices are the cheapest, there are no realtors and properties are just sold through word of mouth. This means getting a good idea of the average market price can be difficult and very time consuming for the newcomer.
Prices for similar properties can range from $10,000 to $50,000 or from $200,000 to $800,000 just depending on how motivated the seller is and what they imagine their property to be worth. It doesn't take a genius to see there is money to be made in this sort of developing market. Identifying the seriously undervalued property markets takes a familiarity with local developments such as roads and industries, a good knowledge of Chilean Spanish, and a LOT of time. Most important is knowledge of new government projects, where new businesses are setting up shop, and thelocal trends. These things are what make the difference between just a decent investment and a REAL GRAND SLAM.
And Where Do I Come In?
For those of you who don't know me, my name's Darren Kaiser. For the last year and a half, I've made this pursuit my life's work. I decided to move here full time in June of 2010 and become as well connected as I could. It has been a tremendous amount of work to get to where I am now as well as a certain amount of luck or being in the right place at the right time. These days, I have weekly meetings with a few of the top managers at Codelco Chile (the world's largest copper company) as well as regular contact with directors of a few government offices that work with foreign investment and development. These connections give me first hand access to details on government infrastructure projects such as new roads, airports, industries, etc. This means I have a very clear picture of where the jobs will be, where services will be improved, and most importantly, where prices will be rising the fastest.
When a new project is planned for a specific area, prices start to rise as word gets out. Depending on the project, this could be a 25%-50% increase that happens quite quickly. By the time the project is actually completed, such as a new paved road accessing a certain stretch of coastline or water and electrical lines extends to a particular neighborhood, prices usually double (yes, a 100% increase) within no time. Buying in these areas before these projects are completed or even known about by the community at large means you get to profit at every stage of the revaluation process. Knowledge of these kinds of projects is critical for the big gains but it's really just the first step.
By far, the most time consuming aspect of my endeavor in Chile has been the actual scouting. When I say scouting, I mean going out and spending full days in these emerging areas that have projects planned and surveying every "for sale by owner" property around in order to find the TRUE average price per square meter for the area. There are some realtors that have listings in these up and coming areas but I have found their properties almost always have mark ups of 50% or more over the average market price.
Sometimes it takes a full day to get the details on just 4 or 5 properties. In some of the towns I identify in this guide, compiling a solid list of 40 or 50 properties in order to get a good idea of the average price per square meter has taken me over 3 months. With the Chile Property Investment Guide 2012 Edition, you get the TRUE average prices for 10 select areas of Chile where the local economy is set to boom.

The Moral of the Story
There is serious money to be made on property in Chile but the market is still disorganized. Just getting an idea of the TRUE average price for a given area can take months. Realtors often only advertise properties with inflated prices because it means bigger commissions for them. In addition to this, not every town or city in Chile is going to offer you the chance to multiply your investment dollars within a few years. Close contact with the CEOs of the local companies as well as local politicians is a must because you need to hear the details about new projects, both public and private, before anyone else does.
