Insider Access: What It Really Takes to Deliver You Paraguay’s Most Exclusive Deals

Hey guys, Mikkel here,

There’s something I’ve been wanting to talk about for a while… 

Many people in this community have absolutely no idea what goes on behind the scenes to bring you the opportunities you read about here…

…and even fewer understand how much work, time, money, and commitment are required to get them to you before they hit the general market.

People often assume that Paraguay Potential magically “appears” in their inbox every other Thursday, as if these insights, deals, introductions, and analyses are simply floating around, waiting for someone to pick them up.

But the truth is… nothing about what we do here happens by accident.

There is no randomness.

There is no luck.

There is no “oh, that’s interesting, let me share this.”

What you’re reading (and what many of you’ve been reading for nearly a year) is the result of thousands of hours of travel, relationship-building, capital deployment, expert vetting, and boots-on-the-ground work that almost no one sees.

…and because you don’t see it, I suppose it may be easy to underestimate just how special, and how genuinely exclusive the deals and insights I bring you actually are…

So today, I want to open the curtain a little wider and show you why you hear about these things before the rest of the world, why this community consistently gets access before the crowds do, and why none of this happens by accident, luck, or convenience.

If you truly want to understand why Paraguay Potential exists and why the deals I bring you are as special as they are, you need to understand this: 

Nothing about what I do here is easy, accidental, or “just a newsletter.”

It is the result of years of sweat, travel, relationships, and real money invested into Paraguay long before most people ever thought to look in this direction.

Let me explain…

When a project like HUB.8 goes public (which we will discuss later on in this edition of Paraguay Potential) and journalists start writing about it, and social media accounts begin sharing it, and the developer finally unveils the project to the public, it’s easy to forget that you already knew about it before anyone else. 

You heard about this project long before the public did.

You had context long before the press did.

You understood the district, the thesis, the team, and the opportunity long before the market even knew where to look.

But that early intelligence doesn’t come from sitting behind a desk.

It doesn’t come from Googling “Paraguay real estate.”

It doesn’t come from waiting for developers to email me brochures.

It comes from showing up.

Physically.

Consistently.

Relentlessly.

It comes from being willing to walk the streets, shake hands, sit through meetings, negotiate with developers, push for early allocations, demand transparency, and fight for early access, better pricing, and special deal terms that will never be offered to the general public. 

My understanding of Paraguay isn’t just theoretical, either.

What I share with you isn’t what I “read somewhere.”

It isn’t what some consultant summarized in a report.

I’ve spent countless hours with locals, officials, expats, investors, and developers.

Every insight I give you, every recommendation is grounded in real work, on real streets, with real people.

How many people writing “investment newsletters” have personally helped countless families secure Paraguayan residency?

How many have personally brokered millions of dollars in real estate transactions in the country?

How many have personally invested multi-millions of their own money into the same projects as you guys have in the region? 

How many have personally led groups of up to 50 families through Paraguay multiple times a year? 

How many are doing anything remotely close to that?

…maybe none.

So…when I tell you a deal is special, or a project is important or about a rapidly growing district, it’s not coming from a speculative guess.

It’s coming from the fact that I’m deeply embedded in the region in a way most people simply aren’t.

When I say I know Paraguay… I mean it.

I have skin in the game and my reputation on the line, and there is likely no one else on earth that is doing what I am as it pertains to Paraguay. 

…and that brings me to the point of today’s edition, which revolves around the flagship corporate anchor building in CDE’s 8th KM district, HUB.8.

Let’s get into it,

The Media Spotlight In On HUB.8… and the headlines agree: This Project Is A Game-Changer:

The moment a project enters the headlines is the moment it stops being an “underground opportunity” and begins achieving real-market validation. 

In the case of HUB.8, that moment has arrived.

The press has picked it up, business outlets are talking about it, and the language they’re using makes one thing abundantly clear: this building isn’t just another development.

It’s already being widely recognized as the corporate anchor that is ushering in a new generation of business in Ciudad del Este.

The coverage framed HUB.8 as part of a city-wide evolution, writing that the project “transforma el paisaje urbano… simboliza la evolución de una ciudad que sueña en grande”, which in English directly translates to “it transforms the urban landscape… it symbolizes the evolution of a city that dreams big.”

When the local business media starts calling a development a symbol of transformation, you know a market shift is underway.

It tells you the city doesn’t just see HUB.8 as another building; they see it as a statement… a marker of where Ciudad del Este is heading.

And then there’s Proyecta, a publication dedicated to architecture, infrastructure, and development. 

Their article emphasized the scale of the investment behind HUB.8, noting an “inversión millonaria de US$ 70 millones en los próximos cinco años”. (Basically, they’re saying that this project is directly and indirectly going to bring 70 million USD into the region over the next 5 years).

You’re looking at a project supported by serious capital and long-term backing… the kind that tends to reshape entire districts. 

From my side, nothing has changed about the core thesis I’ve been sharing with you for months (which I am, obviously, incredibly bullish about)… 

The 8th KM is going to be the most important city economic district in all of Paraguay.

…and HUB.8 is its corporate anchor….

What has changed is simply this:

You’re no longer the only one who knows.

The press is awake.

The country is paying attention.

…you were here long before the spotlight hit.

If you want to stay at the very front of that line not just for HUB.8, but for the broader pipeline of serious, on-the-ground projects we’re creating in Paraguay then stay close, keep reading, and when you feel that tug in your gut that says “this one is for me,” reach out to my partner Fernando and and start the conversation by sending an email to [email protected]. 

When a project like HUB.8 finally hits the public eye and the broader investment world suddenly “discovers” something new, it’s easy to forget that you already had the story.

You had the context. 

You had the analysis. 

You had the inside track.

But now, the wider world is finally waking up to something we’ve been talking about for months.

You already knew it months ago. 

That’s what this community is built for.

Now… here’s why this press coverage matters to you as an investor (or future investor in HUB.8). 

Public validation reduces risk.
When local media, business press, and real estate specialist outlets start to cover a project, it means developers, city planners, financiers, and regulators have accepted its legitimacy.

Momentum builds visibility.
Press coverage raises awareness among tenants, companies looking for new space, and other investors benchmarking supply. As HUB.8 becomes “the building everyone knows about,” demand automatically begins to climb.

Market timing becomes clearer.
The fact that HUB.8 is already in the media means we are not in the “idea phase” any longer. We’re in the “getting ready to be built” phase. That means the window for early advantage is closer to closing… which is exactly when early entrants get the biggest edge. Beat the market on timing, and you get the biggest upside. “Simple”... isn’t it? 

Local ecosystem alignment.
When the press describes a project as part of “una nueva era” for a district (in this case, the 8th KM corridor), it means the local government, developers, services, and infrastructure are aligning around that vision. For you, that means less risk of being an outlier and a greater chance you’re part of the mainstream evolution.

…and because HUB.8 is now publicly validated and media-profiled:

• The risk premium you would normally pay for a project “no one’s heard of” is significantly reduced.
  

• The timeline of value realization is compressed because market awareness is already building.
  

• The pricing window is narrowing as we transition from “pre-market” to “market revealed,” which means those of you who got in early are already holding a meaningful piece of upside. 

HUB.8: The “Anchor Project” of Ciudad del Este’s 8th KM District

Now that the project has gone public, let’s talk about what HUB.8 actually represents (not just the building, but the economic force behind it). 

Most of Paraguay’s commercial office stock is outdated; relics of a pre-amenity era where a few desks, fluorescent lights, and a cramped breakroom passed as “acceptable.” 

No rooftop lounges. 

No fitness spaces. 

No executive meeting rooms. 

No on-site restaurants. 

No architectural identity.

But the companies that operate in Ciudad del Este today, like the forward-thinking cross-border service firms, logistics companies, importers, exporters, wholesalers, tech firms, growing domestic enterprises, and multinationals, need more than four walls and a desk.

They need credibility.

They need presence.

They need professional environments that match the scale of the transactions they’re conducting.

HUB.8 is the answer to these needs.

Twenty-one floors.

Over 200 offices.

Tier-one amenities.

A full business ecosystem under one roof.

…and, a long list of tenants already circling…

This building doesn’t meet the market standard... it raises it.

In a city where “premium” commercial space doesn’t yet exist, HUB.8 sets a new benchmark (which means all future construction in this district will be built to a relative standard, and, in turn, all values will rise across the entire district).

Early investors benefit disproportionately well when they enter before that benchmark is established.

Businesses in outdated buildings will move into HUB.8, the moment it opens, leaving behind aging inventory that will either be renovated, repurposed or demolished to make way for a “more fitting” build.

This is how healthy commercial markets evolve.

By the time HUB.8 breaks ground publicly (like it already has), your advantage as an early mover becomes locked in.

Case in point: those of you who took out a position in HUB.8 when I revealed it exclusively to you guys just a couple of months ago are already sitting on gains.

If you’re one of the (many) families or investors who secured a commercial rental unit (or 10) inside HUB.8, you’ve already done well.

…in just a couple of months after the private launch you participated in, the public launch price is already higher than what you paid…

Why YOU Should Come to Paraguay this January… and why I’ve already brought hundreds of families & investors here:

Everything you read in Paraguay Potential becomes significantly more concrete when you experience it for yourself.

If you want to understand why Paraguay is attracting capital, why multinational companies are entering the market, why new corporate districts like the 8th KM are taking shape, and why so many expats are choosing this country for their long-term Plan-B strategy, you need to see the mechanisms up close. 

This is exactly why I run the Paraguay Exploration & Investment Tour: to give you direct access to the country's economic engine, the real operators driving its growth, and the infrastructure shaping its future. 

It’s a highly structured, on-the-ground program designed for people who are curious and want to learn…. as well as for those who are ready to act. 

For ten days, you’ll move through Paraguay’s most strategically located and important regions with the people who understand them best. 

You’ll tour established developments, early-stage projects, and high-impact districts being built by the people considered to be the true pioneers of Paraguay’s next chapter.

You’ll speak face-to-face with my partners… the same teams I personally rely on to manage the Paraguayan elements of my offshore Plan-B, aka “my freedom portfolio”.

You’ll spend time in the very districts I’ve been telling you about for years; places that, in many cases, I visited long before they were “hot.”

You’ll understand how Paraguay’s residency process works, why so many expats initiate it, and what the long-term upside of being positioned here actually looks like.

This is not a sightseeing trip.

This is fieldwork.

You can read everything I send you.

You can watch every video.

You can study every chart and every economic datapoint.

But nothing replaces the clarity you get when you stand in front of a project, look around a district, feel the energy of a rising city, and say to yourself: “oh, wow… I didn’t expect it to be this obvious”. 

The decisions people make after seeing Paraguay firsthand are fundamentally different from those made from behind a screen. 

On our last full tour, nearly every attendee initiated either a residency application, a real estate acquisition…. or both.

Some came with those intentions and fulfilled them….

Others arrived with no intentions (but kept an open mind) and headed home, having taken the first steps toward offshore living and investing.

Plus, during our time on the ground together, every operational detail is managed for you so that your attention remains on understanding the market, meeting the right experts, and evaluating real opportunities.

Our team handles everything:

•  Luxury accommodations

• Private transportation

• Domestic flights

• All meals and drinks (booze, too)

• Scheduling and logistics

• Curated meetings with lawyers, developers, and service providers

• Site visits, investment briefings, and strategic analysis sessions

Your only job is to show up with an open mind, be ready to connect with like-minded families and pay careful attention to what you’re seeing, hearing and experiencing.

This is your opportunity to do exactly that alongside a team of experts who have already guided hundreds through this process. 

If Paraguay is part of your Plan-B, your investment thesis, or your long-term positioning strategy, then the most intelligent next step is simple:

Get here. See it. Evaluate it.

…and make your next move after seeing the entire picture for yourself….

Before we wrap up today's edition, I want to address something I see all the time… and it’s something that sinks more offshore plans than bad advice, misinformation, or even uncertainty.

…“going it alone” offshore is a brutal, expensive, and completely unnecessary (and foolish) way to build your Plan-B…

If you have the belief that you can simply book a flight, land in a foreign country you’ve never visited, and brute-force your way toward a residency, an investment, a bank account, and a coherent Plan-B all on your own….

Well, in theory, you can do this.

No one will stop you.

…but no one will help you either.

What most people underestimate is just how complex the offshore world becomes the moment your feet hit foreign soil.

…especially when you don’t speak the language, don’t know the regulations, don’t understand the culture, and don’t have a clue whether the firms you’re speaking to even know how to deal with foreigners.

Again, it’s possible.

People do it.

...some even have success. 

But if this is the approach you want to take, then at least hear me when I say this: going it alone offshore requires a level of luck, patience, and a tolerance for risk that most people don’t have.

If you’ve made it this far into today’s edition, it’s safe to say that something in you is pulling toward Paraguay.

If you’re feeling that mix of curiosity, excitement, and hesitation that always shows up when a real opportunity lands in front of you, then there is only one next step that makes sense:

Write to Fernando today at [email protected].

You do not need to be fully ready to secure real estate.

You do not need to have all the answers.

You do not need a perfect plan.

You just need to have a conversation.

I know there’s a large chunk of you guys reading this right now, the ones who want to take action, who feel that pull every time they open this newsletter… but keep getting in their own way.

You overthink it.

You convince yourself you’re “not ready.”

You make it more complicated than it is.

Or you sit there thinking, “I never thought I’d be someone who invests offshore. This isn’t who I am.”

But here’s the truth…

Whether you’ve been reading Paraguay Potential for six weeks or six months, or have been telling yourself you’ll write Fernando “one day” since the beginning of the year…

Then guess what…?

This is who you are.

The fact that you’re still here, still reading, still learning, still thinking already tells me that you’re not the same person you were before.

You are someone who is looking for a better way forward.

You are someone who knows what’s happening in the world and refuses to be caught unprepared.

You are someone with the awareness to act early… even if acting early feels unfamiliar.

I’ve cleared the runway for you and have shown you the path ahead…

…all you have to do is take the first step.

Whether you’re a first-time investor…

Whether you’re already building a global portfolio…

Whether you’re simply exploring…

Or whether you’ve read this newsletter for a year without doing anything because you weren’t sure where to begin…

If something inside you has been whispering, “maybe it’s time…”

Then this is your moment to listen to that whisper.

Send Fernando a message right now to inquire about taking out an economic position in Paraguay via a real estate investment: [email protected].
