Find Your Private Getaway in the Eastern districts of Grand Cayman


 

East End and Frank Sound: Off the Beaten Path
Today I have a little video for you about the East End and Frank Sound, which are both located on the east end of the Grand Cayman. Both of these parts of the island are much less densely populated than the west end, which is home to Georgetown, the major metropolis on the island.

If you want a vacation home, but don't want to deal with tourist attractions and lots of foot traffic, then the East End or Frank Sound may be the perfect place for you! On this part of the Grand Cayman, you'll find that you're more off the beaten path, and the natural beauty of the land around you is always a stark reminder of that. 

Although you're out of the way from the more populated parts of the Island, there are still many things to do. You can visit the Wreck of Ten Sail on the Maritime Heritage Trail, or you can sit by the ocean and watch the Blow Holes which can reach heights of 20 feet. These can be found just 1 mile east of Frank Sound Road. 

Also, Clifton Hunter High School just opened a new campus on Frank Sound just a year ago if you're looking to relocate for a longer period of time.

If you want all the amenities of an island getaway, but without the hustle and bustle, then Frank Sound or the East End would be perfect for you!

Building Wealth Through Real Estate: Think About the Future Today



Building Wealth Through Real Estate
People often ask me how to build wealth with real estate. This is a pretty big question, and the only things I could recommend would be...patience and time. Particularly with the market that we have here in the Cayman Islands, you cannot buy a property and flip it for lots of money in a few days. It's not as simple as putting on a coat of paint and selling the property for an extra $20,000. 

Here is some other information that I have written down about investing in real estate:
  • Location, location, location: This is the most important thing to consider when investing in real estate. 
  • To get back to the main question about wealth-building, you have to buy real estate in a key location where you can sell it off in the future to upgrade, or where you can sell it to invest in more properties. 
  • There is also the stepping stone approach, which I took for about a decade. 
    • Over the last 10 years I lived in a 1 bedroom, sold it for barely any profit, and then moved into a 2 bedroom. Next I moved into a 2 bedroom with a den, and now I'm in a 3 bedroom on a canal with a boat. However, this took a very long time. (The better part of 10 years)
  • There seems to be a recurring theme when I'm guiding clients through this process. 
    • The theory is that you secure tomorrow with today by sacrificing and compromising the wonderful things in life for your future benefit.
    • There is a fine line to this, you can't take all the enjoyment out of your life. However, you need to be forward thinking and plan for the future today.
