Hello, I’m Ronan McMahon,

For the past 20 years, I've been hunting down and investing in real estate around the world.  My team of scouts and I spend well over a million dollars a year on research and travel.

Crisscrossing the globe as we develop our network… put our boots on the ground… and uncover the rising trends in international real estate.

We leave no stone unturned in our quest to find the best opportunities in the world... and leverage our group buying power to negotiate the best deals to take advantage of the trends we discover.

No matter where they are.

We find the right location…the right real estate…at the right price. And make a point of doing business with the right people.

We get in on the ground floor. We get our boots on the ground. And our members have made a lot of money from it.

And you can too.

Right now, we have a dozen deals lined up for members of our network.

I'd like to invite you to join us.

“Incredible opportunity for hand selected premium properties at prices that stun local real estate insiders”

- Rita R.

“Excellent research backs each opportunity. And the pricing cannot be surpassed.”

- Victor H.

“Great opportunities, and the size of the group means buying power.“

- William S.

We have blockbuster deals in Cabo. Other deals we have in the pipeline are in beautiful, low-cost retirement havens like Costa Rica, Panama, and Portugal...

In tropical paradises like the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Brazil... 

And in regions steeped in rich European culture, like Italy and Montenegro. Amazing prospects are developing along the river separating Spain and Northern Portugal... 

These deals coming up in the next year are some of the most spectacular our group has negotiated yet.

You see, the process that goes into these deals begins years before I ever begin writing a briefing or outlining terms with a developer.

It begins with my scouts and I putting our ears to the ground and listening for stirrings of rising markets.

Covering miles on foot and car… knocking on doors… talking to local contacts and assessing the market situation for ourselves.

When we find a developer to partner with my researchers and I help him with every facet of the plan. Advising on location, layout, amenities. We never settle for average. We insist everything is best in class, because best in class real estate appreciates faster and provides better rental income.

And it has the added benefit of filling your friends and family with envy when you show off pictures of your new investment…

Or with joy should you be so kind as to let them visit for a week, which they’ll surely ask you to.

This means a lower price and first access to homes… but it also means more than that. We often manage to negotiate financing for our members… and added amenities. I’ve even managed to negotiate pools for members… absolutely free.

Transparency is important to us, so you should know that properties and development projects detailed here may be clients of Pangaea Limited, a real estate advertising company managed by myself and Margaret Summerfield. Should you purchase one of the properties, Pangaea may receive a fee from the property owners, real estate developers and/or real estate agents.

First, our comprehensive deal briefings put the power in YOUR hands. As a RETA member you’ll be presented with briefings on private deals 10-12 times a year…

These are thorough, yet easy-to-understand write-ups with precise instructions on how to act on each of our deals. You’ll receive these briefings to your email and, if you choose, via text to your phone.

The briefing tells you everything — the deal, why this location, the investment potential, amenities, rental opportunity, the developers background…

The whole breakdown of why THIS is a RETA grade deal with the potential to double your investment inside of 5 years of delivery.

Then you’ll be presented with the contacts you need to take part in the deal. No high-pressure sales… the ball is entirely in your court.

You review my research… and decided if this deal is right for you.

It’s that simple.

And in between our deal alerts, there’s so much for you to experience.

RETA monthly issues are unlike any other resource on the planet.

You will be prepared to thrive in an everchanging global marketplace.

You will benefit from insights and advice from a massive network of scouts and insiders around the world.

Last month, for example, I asked one of my scouts to put boots on the ground in Sicily. What he found there was incredible. Here’s a sample of just some of the bargains he uncovered:

A historic house in a stunning hill town for only €28,000…

A three-story house with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea for just €35,000…

A spacious four-story house in an idyllic village that’s near ski resorts and just 15 minutes’ drive from the beach for only €55,000…

RETA members received a full report on these findings: Links to listings for incredible historic homes selling from just €15,000... Video walkthroughs of properties... Contact information for agents... My analysis on which towns have the best investment potential.

And much more…

There’s a lot of truth to the old saying, “Your Network is your Net Worth.” In real estate, it’s doubly true.

Having spent close to two decades as an international real estate scout and investor, I’ve cultivated a massive circle of contacts from across the globe…and continue to add to that circle regularly.

These are brokers, developers, attorneys…people I talk to regularly, visit in person, and maintain a good relationship with. They’re familiar with RETA, they understand our reach, and they’ve seen what our group buying power can achieve.

From the day you join RETA, you can start using this global contact network as if it’s your own. Your contacts are a valuable asset when it comes to scouting real estate and performing your due diligence.

By using this Rolodex of global contacts, you’ll always have immediate access to the latest insider information in whatever market you’re interested in…

For example, if one of our group needs a lawyer in Portugal they call Ricardo…

If they’re looking for an inside scoop on the real estate scene in Chiang Mai they call up Simon Bradford in Thailand…

If they’re looking into property in Ecuador this rolodex gives them a direct line to the owner of one of the countries top realty offices.

I’ll be adding to this list regularly, expanding the reach of your own personal RETA Rolodex.

If you decide to contact them, let them know that Ronan sent you…This extensive network allows you to find mortgages, financing and payment plans — in places where financing of any kind is almost impossible for the unconnected foreigner.

These deals are the heart and soul of Real Estate Trend Alert.

They’re my life’s work and they’re the reason this scrappy network of investors exists in the first place.

Real Estate Trend Alert will give you the inside info you need to build a dream real estate portfolio yourself… but the true power of this membership can only be realized when you act as part of a larger group.

A group that is able to negotiate terms directly with sellers – and to settle on the best prices in deals that would never be available to the public.

A group that can access prime real estate deals before the retail investors and secure properties in the most desirable destinations in the world…

A group that can negotiate insanely low prices with their collective buying power.

Until 2008, no group like this existed.

So I made it myself – a network of independent people from all walks of life, united in their goal to discover the best ways to profit and prosper in overseas real estate.

Doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, teachers…

This is a privileged group with a level of influence that has developed over nearly two decades.

RETA’s extensive network allows you access to mortgages, financing and payment plans — in places where financing of any kind is almost impossible for the average person.

Your time is precious to us.

It’s my life’s work…Everything I know about making money from real estate. From buying luxury properties for pocket change and selling for big profits… To turning properties into income machines that make money while you sleep. But most of all, this book is about using real estate to live a truly free and fulfilling life…

For two years now, my team and I have been driving rural routes in Italy, France, and Spain… flying to Portuguese islands in the mid-Atlantic… talking to brokers in the Balkans… meeting developers in little-known beach towns on Mexico’s Pacific coast… touring incredible new communities in the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica and Panama…

In other words, we’ve been hunting for the “next places.”

Not only have we found these places, but now, after years of this boots-on-the-ground research, it’s become clear to me that the era of the next places has arrived.

Portugal is one of the world’s most popular destinations among vacationers, expats, and real estate investors. But there is an amazing region of this country that remains overlooked and undervalued.

The stunning towns and cities north of Portugal’s second city of Porto boast incredible soft-sand beaches…rich history and culture…and stunning food and architecture—basically, all the elements that make destinations to the south so appealing.

But they are virtually unknown to foreign tourists, expats, and second home owners. And because of this, prices in these towns and cities are astonishingly affordable.

This is Portugal’s “undiscovered north.”

We have compiled this report which lists the real estate transaction fees in some of the top countries on our beat. We asked our local on-the-ground contacts in these countries to pull together a factsheet which details the transaction costs you need to know about. Naval tax in Brazil… annual property tax in Ecuador… capital gains tax in Panama… we’ve got it covered in this collection of fact sheets.

Our contacts have also included their email addresses and phone numbers should
you have any more questions related to the buying, or selling, process in their country of expertise.

In the RETA Academy masterclass, Your RETA Blueprint to a Boundless Life and Real Estate Riches, we guide you step-by-step toward finding your perfect overseas real estate investment. In this six-part video masterclass, you’ll learn how to assess your priorities—whether you’re buying for income, appreciation, or lifestyle—and to match them with the right property type. Then you’ll explore the best places to own today…smart financing solutions when buying overseas…proven strategies for maximizing rental income…and so much more. At the end of the six live sessions, you’ll have a personalized blueprint to achieving your overseas real estate goals. 

Anywhere you go, Real Estate Trend Alert is in your corner, aiming to keep you informed and up to speed.

As soon as you join, you’ll receive a login and password to the RETA members only encrypted website.

You’ll love this.

You can browse through every RETA issue and alert, all our updates, podcasts, books, videos, special reports…

This is your library of real estate investing resources that never closes.

We’ve also developed a members-only app, along with an SMS alert system so you never miss an important update from me.

Thanks to my portfolio of overseas real estate, I live a life of leisure and travel.

I’ve earned enough to retire right now if I wanted to, and I never have to worry for a second about what’s going on in the stock market.

I’m secure, and my family is provided for… for generations to come.

I want you to have that same sense of security.

Not only will you discover how to find incredible opportunities that could massively grow your wealth…

Picture yourself waving goodbye to your neighbor in January… as he shovels snow from his sidewalk you’re on your way to “check up on your investment” in sunny Costa Rica.

And you’ll never need to stress booking hotels… or trying to find a last minute Airbnb for your vacation… Because you own a home you can return to year after year

Where you will get to know the locals… Discover the secret beaches… and truly feel at home while you’re on vacation.

If you want, you could even build a network of homes across the globe.

Traveling around as you please, avoiding the bad weather, and living in an eternal spring… with your unoccupied homes earning rental income while you’re away..

That’s what I do personally. But as you’ll learn, it doesn't matter what I, or anyone else does with their property.

The true beauty of owning a tangible, “real” asset like real estate, is that it’s yours.

No one can tell you what to do with it.

This is the opportunity I'm extending to you today. Join now, and you'll have a full 365 days to experience everything RETA has to offer... the deal briefings, the scouting reports, and full access to our exclusive deals. If, at the end of one year, you don't feel like RETA is a fit for you, just call my team and we'll refund your entire membership fee. No questions asked.

And if you have any questions about RETA before you join, shoot us a message at info@realestatetrendalert.com.
