Belize Real Estate Insider
Who are you listening to, and why should you trust him?

Who is David Kafka, and why should you trust him with your Belize investment journey? In this debut episode, Serena introduces her dad—a firefighter-turned-landscape-owner-turned-international-real-estate-investor who built a $30M+ portfolio across Belize, Mexico, and Nicaragua through consistent action and learning from mistakes.

Discover what David actually does on the ground today (hint: it's way more than selling condos), and hear his two core philosophies that guide every deal. Plus, we bust the first Myth of the Week: "Buy anything in Belize and you'll get huge returns automatically."
