Playa del Carmen, Mexico – The first ever Riviera Maya Real Estate Seminar and Expo will open its doors at The Royal, in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.  The two-day seminar promises to be exciting as key real estate players join forces for the first time to display to the world how to earn huge profits in this red hot market along the south coast of Mexico.

The area just south of Cancun was just named by CNN/Money.com as one of the top three foreign markets for Americans buying a second home.

• Riviera Maya property values have increased at an average of 20% each year!
• Condos sold in pre-construction have often jumped 15 -25% in value before even being completed.
• A Playa Del Carmen condo purchased 8 years ago for $130,000 sells today for $500,000.
 Just 3 years ago beachfront property in Akumal went for $250 per sq. meter.  Now it commands more than $500 per sq. meter!
