July 16, 2007, Nassau, The Bahamas -- Much of the attention has been directed at the cluster of Out Islands and their tiny islets (or cays), which dot the blue-green waters of the Atlantic.

The naturally derived privacy found on the islands has made these the latest high-priced accessory for Hollywood celebrities. Johnny Depp, Nicholas Cage, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods all have bought into the boom.

But buyers aren't limited to the glitterati, according to broker/appraiser Rachel Pinder of Island Living Real Estate, an all-broker-level firm specializing in Out Island properties on such islands as Abaco, Eleuthera, Exuma, and Long Island. Pinder sited several types of buyers contributing to the land rush. They include:

* Older investors planning their retirement; * young investors setting up bed-and-breakfasts or other enterprises; * natives returning to their childhood homes; and * enamored vacationers getting a jump on the major-development openings.

"Our buyers aren't just coming from the United States," said Pinder. "We're getting many calls from Europe and Asia. The desire to buy into a piece of paradise is the primary motivator, of course. We have many affordable properties, some of which are ripe for development. Affordability is just one side of the economic coin. Bahamian liberal real estate and immigration laws draw many buyers.

The government levies no taxes on personal income, sales, inheritance, capital gains, dividends or even corporate earnings; exemptions available to all individuals, trusts, partnerships and corporations.

Property tax rates are friendly, as well. The first $250,000 of an owner-occupied property is entirely tax exempt. Up to $500,000 the rate is just 0.75 percent, with a 1 percent rate for all properties above $500,000.

While no government approval is required for foreign investors to purchase up to five acres of residential property; larger land acquisitions must be registered and approved by the Investment Board. The 1:1 currency exchange between the U.S. and the Bahamian dollars is hard to resist, particularly at a time when the American dollar is sinking in many other parts of the world.

Flexible immigration laws provide accelerated consideration for annual or permanent residence to everyone from major investors to owners of residences valued in excess of $500,000.

Rates for unimproved properly are equally favorable.

‘Vacant land accounts for a large portion of our sales," said Pinder. "Still, we're getting calls from across the board, including Bahamas condos and houses; even condo and house rentals.

Nassau-based Island Living Real Estate is a full-service company with over 25-years of experience in real estate sales and development throughout the Bahamas. Island Living services all the Islands of the Bahamas including Nassau, Abaco, Exuma, Long Island, Rum Cay, Eleuthera, Cat Island and Bimini.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my web site to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real income.
It gets down to choose a proper partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the income with me.

You may get interested, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
