You don’t need:
-
Bahamian citizenship
-
Residency status
-
Local partnership
All you need is a clear contract, a vetted property, and legal support — all of which CPH Invest provides through our trusted legal partners.

🛡️ Why Freeport Is the Best Place to Buy
Freeport (in Grand Bahama) is a Special Economic Zone, meaning:
-
No income tax
-
No capital gains tax
-
No annual property tax (in designated areas)
-
Fast legal processing thanks to the Hawksbill Creek Agreement
That’s why more and more international buyers are skipping Nassau and heading straight to Grand Bahama.
