Foreword: The Investor’s Edge

If you’re looking for distressed assets that combine equity growth, rental yield, and tax-free residency advantages, foreclosures in the Bahamas are your edge. This playbook is the system I use with clients who regularly acquire properties 20–30% below market, reposition them for profit, and align them with the new $1M residency threshold effective January 2025.

Chapter 1: Why 2025 Is the Window
