We Are Your on the Ground Investment Scouts

We regard ourselves as emerging market investment scouts, on the ground in the most remote regions of real estate opportunity. Our business model therefore needs investors who are willing to invest in the properties we have taken the time and expense to locate in the Third World

Our business model assumes there are those in the First World who do not want to come to the Third World to find emerging market real estate investments, but who desire to invest in this area. It’s in meeting that desire that we create relationships with real estate investors of differing categories across the globe.

We see ourselves as locating potential investment properties for the following types of investors:

• Private Investors interested in larger tracts for sub-division or future resale

• Private end-purchasers looking for recreationally oriented property at wholesale rates

• Institutional Investors/Hedge Funds

For institutions that seek to allocate part of their portfolio to real estate in emerging markets, a frequent problem is having ground level expertise in a particular local market. ETI is currently taking inquiries from large funds. We make all the necessary arrangements for funds seeking more stable places to invest.

What We Offer the Emerging Market Real Estate Investor

ETI seeks to bridge a substantial gap for a person or institution that wants to take advantage of investment opportunities in emerging market real estate.

Identification of Optimal Regions

We identify optimal regions of investment, We typically base these on ground level information such as key changes in infrastructure, path of progress, opportunities to add value, and the desired level of aggressiveness the investor wants for the particular asset being acquired.

Custom Land Scouting/Custom Ground Level Management of Acquisition Process

As a partner, we provide the ground level management of land acquisitions in those markets, thus opening the possibility of new markets to an investor’s portfolio.

Local Management of Property Holdings

Once the property has been acquired, we make sure that the property is effectively managed. We hire and manage local talent, we monitor political realities, and we evaluate market conditions to determine optimal marketing strategies and timing.

With an extensive ground level network and managers in the region, we are able to safeguard the investment, add value to the property, and maximize the returns of the investment.

Conclusion

You need someone you can trust, who understands corporate governance, who manages your acquisitions and who make sure the asset is safeguarded during the hold period.

Doing business in an emerging market means that relationships must be made in local communities and government. You need someone who can bridge the gap between large capital markets and small country politics. We have set up relationships that keep us in touch with what is going on.

When investors establish a relationship with Emerging Terrains, they have by extension a relationship within the country of Panama. This is essential for taking advantage of real estate opportunities here.
