MRI Overseas Property April Focus: The Bahamas

James Robinson, Global Marketing Director, MRI Overseas Property, says: “With the cricket world cup being held in the Caribbean this year, many of the islands have been thrown into the tourism spotlight. However, their long-term popularity and value lies in the fact that golden sands and crystal clear waters means the Bahamas offers investors a chance to get their very own slice of beautiful, tropical island life.

“Due to the generous tax breaks, such as no income or corporate tax, the Bahamas is often perceived as the rich man’s playground. However, it is not just the wealthy that should think of buying in the Bahamas, smaller properties can provide a delightful holiday home or great investment. Traditionally rental properties are popular with American holidaymakers.”
