Up To 24% Per Year For Me… And A Legacy Of Income For My Kids, Too My approach to investing in real estate has evolved since my first real estate purchase when I was 27 years old. For that first investment, I operated according to the principles of OPM—other people’s money. Buying a highly leveraged [...]
A River Of Liquid Bullion Two or three times a year, Kathleen and I plan outings with small groups of friends from around the world. We identify a special travel adventure... and then we invite the folks we most enjoy spending time with to join us if their schedules allow. In that spirit, we've extended [...]
Trade Wars, Bureaucrats, And Brexit Some residents of the Carolinas found themselves out of options this month.

The annual Running of the Bulls that Mr. Hemingway made so famous. Kathleen reported on our expat adventure in her daily dispatch... and, well, some [...]
“Think back,” my editor wife counseled… “Why, originally, did you want to go offshore?” Here in Paris Kathleen and I have more time for reflection. Separate and distant from the day-by-day responsibilities of the office in Panama, we’re more flexible in every way. Instead of rushing to the office each morning and diving into our […]
I don’t try to predict currency exchange rates when shopping for real estate investments overseas. I focus on finding a good opportunity in a market I believe in. I don’t then wait to make the buy depending on whether the local currency is over- or undervalued relative to the currency I’m shopping with. In 2011, […]
Is Panama Still A Top Offshore Haven? I haven't covered Panama as a potential go-offshore haven in a comprehensive way in some time.
