Last year, more than 338,000 Americans moved away from home for retirement. That’s 44% more than in 2022. A cooling housing market and lower inflation help explain this big number. Put simply, more people could afford to move away from home last year compared to the year before. Where did all these retirees end up? [...]
I can point you toward plenty of elite destinations where billionaires moor their super-yachts… But this is the one they don’t want you to know about. Forbes likens this tiny European country to Monaco… And Robb Report claims it’s “The Mediterranean’s New Jet Set Hotspot.” With stunning fjords and a pristine landscape overlooking the same stretch of water as Italy, [...]
“You need to get on a plane.” That was the feedback Kathleen Peddicord got from her property scout when she sent him to Panama for the first time in 1998. Back then, real estate in Panama was a screaming bargain. You could buy big, well-built homes for as little as $20,000. Kathleen did indeed get on a plane and [...]
8938. That is the number of the IRS form you have to fill out to report foreign financial assets. If you own foreign assets, you have to fill out IRS Form 8938 even if you’ve lived out of the country for most of your life. However, here’s an important point: You do not have to […]

Greetings from our annual Live And Invest In Panama Conference. Lief is busy emceeing right now, so your missive today comes from me (Kathleen)… I thought I’d just fill you in on exactly why we keep returning, again and again, to host this annual conference in (and about) the “Hub of the Americas”… (And by [...]
Returning to Spain for the recent Live And Invest In Spain Conference, I was reminded of my first pure real estate investment outside of the United States. In 2000, a colleague and I took a scouting trip along the coast of Spain… not just one of the Costas, but the entire southern coast of Spain [...]
This Investment Has A 98.8% Success Rate… From time to time, an opportunity crosses my desk that’s simply a “no brainer.” What I’m going to tell you about today is one of those opportunities… Let me explain. There’s a company you’ve never heard of… They don’t advertise. They’re not shouting from the rooftops about what [...]
We’re all looking for a “sure thing.” An investment we know is going to make us money—no matter what. Not long ago, people thought the stock market could only go up. The S&P 500 in 2022 showed—yet again—why you should never rely on stocks to always go up. The market was down nearly 20% for [...]
I woke up this morning, brewed a pot of Irish breakfast tea, and, as has been my custom for decades now, sat down at my laptop to write you a letter. I want to focus your attention this week on Panama. Trouble is… I’ve been telling people about Panama for some 25 years. In fact, [...]
Big news from one of my favorite offshore havens—the country where Kathleen and I spend most of our time (and base our business)… Last week, Panama’s Supreme Court made a ruling with major implications. Panama has faced weeks of protests over the government’s renewal of a contract with Canadian corporation First Quantum, which operates the [...]
