Many people think buying property in another country is a risk-filled quagmire that is too complicated to overcome. Certainly buying property in a location you’re not familiar with requires due diligence and research, but that’s true whether you’re living in Chicago and want to buy a lake house in Wisconsin or living in Chicago and […]
This is Carnival week. Depending where in the world you find yourself, that’s more or less a big deal. Here in Panama, Carnaval (yes, they spell it with an “a”) is a very big deal. I managed to avoid the drinking, the loud music, and the up-all-night craziness by staying in Panama City. Most all […]
A California couple recently found 1,400 US$20 gold coins from the mid-1800s buried on their property. The store is estimated to be worth as much as US$10 million due to the rarity and quality of some of the coins. The value of the gold alone is about US$2 million at today’s prices. What was the […]
The tenant in a rental apartment I have in Panama City called this morning to give notice. She’s moving out. She’s been renting the apartment for more than five years, paying the rent on time and causing no hassles, so I’ll be sorry as a landlord to see her go. On the other hand, this […]

The challenge is to find an agricultural investment opportunity that doesn’t require you to get your hands dirty. I’ve been investigating […]
I usually ignore foreign exchange rates. You can’t predict them and trying to time them when making a real estate investment is a crap shoot. If you wait too long for an exchange rate to get where you want it to be before sending your money for a real estate purchase, the opportunity can disappear. […]
A reporter from the mainstream press contacted me recently asking if I could introduce him to an American who has given up his (or her) citizenship. The reporter is doing a story on the growing number Americans expatriating and wanted a firsthand story to tell. Unfortunately, none of the people I know who have expatriated […]
“I don’t care why you’re here this week looking at Panama,” David Stubbs told the room full of Live and Invest in Panama Conference attendees this morning. “Whatever your interests in Panama, the economics of the country are important to you. Even if you’re just here for a vacation, this is stuff you should be […]
