Vienna, with its opera houses and world-renowned coffeehouses, is just an 80-minute flight.
Historic Prague, with its soaring medieval architecture, is almost as close…just an hour and 40 minutes.
Paris, the City of Lights, is a little over two and a half hours away…London around three.
Virtually the whole of Europe is on your doorstep.
All because you own in a stunning sea-view community in Kotor, Montenegro…one of the world’s great emerging “internationalized” destinations.
Weekend in Paris…or Prague…or Vienna…or London… It’s all possible when you have the perfect base in Europe.
For many years when scouting for real estate, I’ve paid especially close attention to what I call internationalized places.
These are beautiful, inherently desirable destinations. Places where people want to be in good times and bad. Places to escape for vacation…or to just escape full stop.
Internationalized places share some common traits:
- They’re easy to get to and from.
- They are stunningly beautiful.
- You have great weather and often, great beaches.
- There’s a big international mix of people, lots of fun things to do, and outstanding food.
- There is strong rental demand from multiple markets.
Because they are so desirable, destinations with these traits boom when economies are strong…remain resilient when economies are struggling…and recover first when economies are bouncing back. And in a world of remote work, where vast numbers of people can live anywhere they want for part or all of the year, they’re becoming more powerful all the time.
Find an internationalized destination—and especially a new one that’s emerging—and you’re onto a major winner.
That’s why Kotor is so special…
In this video, I discuss Kotor with two of my most senior researchers, who’ve both scouted it within the past several months. Click this private link to view…
With a population of just 600,000, Montenegro is a small place with a big vision. Its recent and rapid emergence as an internationalized destination is no accident.
Montenegro voted for independence in 2006, until then its fortunes had been bound up with those of Serbia to the north. Since that time, the country has carefully carved its path forward…shaping itself into the perfect safe haven for the ultra-rich.
Montenegro joined NATO in 2017. It uses the euro, and is widely expected to be welcomed into the European Union, with 2030 being the latest estimate. And it has very favorable tax policies.
Residents of Montenegro benefit from one of the most favorable tax systems in Europe, with personal, corporate and capital gains taxation rates of just 0% to 15%. Inheritance tax is zero-rated, with free transfer of assets to immediate family members.
It’s also outside of Europe’s Schengen Zone (an area made of 29 European countries that share a border). That makes it attractive to non-Europeans, who can only spend 90 out of every 180 days in the Schengen Zone without a residency visa.
By living in Montenegro, it means you can spend 90 days living in Paris, for instance, and then hop back to Montenegro to allow your 90 days to reset. This is attractive to a lot of high-earning remote workers who want to be in Europe and need a place to spend time before bouncing back into the bloc.
Combine these tax, travel, and visa policies with the fact that Montenegro is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and it makes for an incredible internationalized destination. And the most popular destination in Montenegro is the Bay of Kotor.
Time Out called the Bay of Kotor the most beautiful place in the world. A lot of people agree…
Visit Montenegro today and you’ll find a diverse and very wealthy set of folks.
In Montenegro you have well-heeled Ukrainians AND Russians escaping the war. Turks escaping volatile politics back home, plenty of western Europeans escaping bad politics, bad weather and bad taxes…
You have wealthy Arabs, Australians, and a rapidly increasing number of Americans and Canadians.
You’ll see Chinese shopping the designer stores, Central Asians sipping espresso at quayside cafés…
For years, this has been a safe haven of the wealthy.
Now, it’s being discovered by the “ordinary rich” too…
Porto Montenegro in Kotor was voted the best marina for superyachts in the world in 2023 by 15,000 captains and crews of superyachts. This is truly a playground of the ultra-rich.
“Ordinary rich” is a term I use for professionals who earn well…not super rich, but well off. They can often move around to some degree too. Most aren’t in the market for multi-million-dollar mansions or 5-star resort residences. But they want luxury and exceptional resort-style amenities…and they can pay for it.
I’m talking about entrepreneurs, small-business owners…computer scientists, bankers, lawyers, doctors…I count myself as among “the ordinary rich.” I don’t do my global scouting in a private jet nor do I typically pay thousands of dollars a night for hotel stays.
As the ordinary rich discover Montenegro, it’s creating an incredible opportunity. Here’s what I mean…
As the ordinary come in greater numbers, they’re creating a massive demand for high-quality real estate with outstanding amenities. Think uninterrupted views, pools, gym… all the resort-style amenities we expect when we go on vacation or workcation.
And in Montenegro that’s extremely scarce.
There’s a gap in the market and my Real Estate Trend Alert group is about to tap into it.
It’s something we’ve done before…
Kotor is historic… beautiful… dramatic… This is one of the world’s most iconic coastlines and one of its most rapidly internationalizing destinations.
From Los Cabos to Portugal’s Algarve region to Mexico’s Caribbean coast (known as the Riviera Maya) and beyond, my RETA group has been ahead in identifying emerging internationalized destinations that are gaining popularity among the ordinary rich.
We’ve spotted this gap and bought the kind of best-in-class real estate the ordinary rich want. And we’ve seen huge uplifts as a result…
- $388,844 More in Cabo—Our first RETA members-only deal in Cabo was in 2015 in the 5-star Quivira resort. Our RETA-only price on a two-bed, two-bath ocean-view condo in the best-in-class Copala community was $336,156. I bought one alongside RETA members. An identical condo to mine two floors above me later listed for $725,000—an uplift of $388,844.
- €300,000 Gain in Portugal—One RETA member bought a penthouse in a Lagos community in the Algarve that I recommended in August 2019 for €495,000. Just over three years later, in October 2022, she sold for €795,000. That’s a gain of €300,000.
- $234,900 Boost in Tulum—In 2019, I brought RETA members a deal in the chic beach destination of Tulum in the Riviera Maya. Members could own two-bed condos in a community called Gran Tulum from just $175,000. The last time I talked to the developer, they said two-bed condos there were listing at retail for $409,900.
- Gain of €223,000 in Spain—In 2020, we had our opportunity at Casares Costa in Spain’s Costa del Sol. A RETA member bought a luxury condo here for €327,000. It was sold in late 2023 for €550,000.
A rooftop at the Casares Costa community in the Costa del Sol. RETA members have seen huge gains from our deals here.
Now we’ve spotted a new internationalizing destination…in Kotor, Montenegro.
And I’ve found the perfect real estate there.
I’m about to bring RETA members a new, exclusive off-market deal in Kotor.
With this new deal, the location is superb…in easy reach of Kotor old town, the luxury marinas of Porto Montenegro, Porto Novi…the beaches…the historic towns…and all the incredible leisure activities you or your renters could want…
The amenities are outstanding, and the community is to be designed in the style of a Tuscan palace. And the price is RETA-only, off-market.
Close to where you’ll find the RETA-only opportunity, you have Tivat airport. It’s just 10 to 15 minutes away. From there you have all of Europe within a few hours. That’s just one of three airports in easy reach…
And remember it works both ways…
With the new RETA opportunity, you’ll be 15 minutes’ drive from the airport, with all of Europe on your doorstep.
It’s easy for you to fly out for a break away from your luxurious base. It’s also so easy for millions of people to arrive on your doorstep, seeking a rental exactly like your condo and community.
It all adds up to something truly special…
This is a chance to own best-in-class real estate in a perfectly located, amenity-rich community in Kotor at unbelievable prices…a chance to own an ideal European base and to see amazing gains, as my RETA group have done before.
In fact, I’m predicting gains of I’ve been predicting gains of €201,643 five years after delivery…
Right now, I’m preparing a full briefing on this opportunity.
Full details on everything you need to know about Montenegro and this deal are coming this Saturday in my special Briefing. Stay tuned…
Ronan McMahon, Founder, Overseas Dream Home & Real Estate Trend Alert
P.S. As I say, I’m predicting gains of €201,643 five years after delivery, but already that’s beginning to look really conservative.
Recently I got more details of the developer’s future plans for our community.
- Within 10 weeks of our RETA launch the developer’s planning a 15% increase on our RETA pricing.
- Within a year of our RETA launch it’s a 30% increase on our RETA prices.
- All told over the build period the developer plans a 70% increase on our RETA pricing.
But RETA members can buy in ahead…at exclusive, off-market pricing…
This deal is exceptional. I expect off-the-charts interest. Full details this Saturday.
