St. Thomas Real Estate Trends

Opportunity for good press for Virgin Islands Real Estate! I had the pleasure of spending yesterday morning with Steve Bergsman who is on island to research vacation home opportunities in the US Virgin Islands. If you haven't heard of this fascinating writer you could be missing out on some important information and analysis of investing in real estate. Steve's accolades read like this:

"I have been reading Steve Bergsman's insightful real estate reporting and commentary for over a decade. He is one of the best real estate writers in America..." says Jonathan L. Kempner, President and Chief Executive Officer at Mortgage Bankers Association

So with a chapter on the Virgin Islands in Steve's upcoming book to reach the market in Spring 2008 we expect good things.

In the mean time, you may want to check out Steve's previous book - Maverick Real Estate Investing - the art of buying and selling properties like Trump, Zell, Simon, and the world's greatest land owners

"A fascinating story that chronicles the wins and losses of several of the most renowned real estate investors of our time. Insightful and thought provoking, it confirms that if you follow Bergsman's golden rules of real estate investing, the chances of being successful are substantially increased," is what Stephen B. Siegel, Chairman, Global Brokerage CB Richard Ellis thinks of it.

Who knows, reading his first book can help you understand investing and prepare you for your vacation investment in the US Virgin Islands. I was fortunate to receive a copy and will give it my serious attention so look for my personal review shortly.
