Real estate professionals are now trekking to Latin American countries and elsewhere to recruit new investors as international buyers are activating the market and reactivating sales in South Florida.  Foreign investors are learning how to invest in commercial real estate in South Florida / Miami area as they become aware that assets have never before been so depreciated in a country like America. It’s now cheaper to buy an apartment in Miami than in major Latin American cities, such as Buenos Aires, Mexico City and large cities in Brazil. South Florida’s appeal remains strong among foreign jet setters, who are drawn to the beachfront metropolis as much for its palm trees and fine weather as its United Nations-like cultural inclusivity.  There’s also a sense that the market may only get marginally worse before bottoming and mending.  This all add up to a handsome opportunity for thousands of global buyers.

   The weak dollar also gives foreign investors more value for their investment money. In many areas, commercial and residential real estate is selling for 50 percent less or even lower compared to peak prices!

   Prices are bottoming out. And if we look at past recessions, bottom periods are followed by economic booms. This is a great time for foreign investors to own commercial properties in America, wherein it is very difficult to do so during normal times.
