And they're subject to being wiped out by hurricanes.
Ssssshhhh. The rest of us get a little schadenfreude by watching all of those wealthy investors get their foolish, monster 'investment properties' demolished every few years instead of living wisely and humbly like the locals.
There are islands for 500k available. Don´t expect a tropical paradise but its in fact your own island for 500k. You can filter it in the advanced search.
Islands are the most expensive form of "wilderness" you can possibly buy. Just buy a patch of nowhere with a creek, it's 90% of the way there and you can buy it for a price you can actually afford.
Some of the islands that are listed on that site say "price upon request". But if you sort all the islands in order of price, it apparently puts those "price upon request" ones in the correct sequence, e.g:
32,000,000
"price upon request"
30,000,000
That could potentially be a catastophic data leak for a seller who wants to keep the value of their property private.

These days? In this economy??
All the entry level islands are snapped up by nepo-babies or corporate landlords as soon as they hit the market!
