How To Earn A Million Dollars In Belize Real Estate - Michael Cobb And Harry Sardinas
“Playing it safe is the fastest way to stay broke.”
That’s the line Michael Cobb — CEO of ECI Development — practically proved during our conversation on The Unstoppable Podcast. 💥
While most people chase “safe markets” and end up with average returns, Michael built his first million by doing the opposite: he went where others were too scared to look. 🌎🔥
From tech to property to international development, he learned that real wealth lives in places filled with adventure, uncertainty, and ridiculous opportunity — if you’re willing to do the due diligence.
He broke down why Belize is exploding (high demand, limited supply), and how places like the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama are becoming magnets for digital nomads craving authenticity and reliable internet. ⚡🌴
Michael’s message?
If you want extraordinary wealth, stop investing where everyone else already is.
This episode is a wake-up call. 🚀About The Guest
