Buying Property in the Bahamas
For most people, deciding to buy property in the Bahamas is the easy part—after all, who doesn’t dream of owning a slice of paradise? Just a short hop from the “real world” lies a land of year-round sunshine, endless beaches, and crystal-clear waters that have long drawn celebrities and investors alike.
But before diving in, it’s important to remember that the Bahamas is its own nation, with its own real estate laws, building codes, taxes, and ownership costs. Understanding these nuances ensures your island dream remains exactly that—a dream realized, not a surprise in disguise.
