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 […]
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 […]
Earlier this month, our first Live and Invest in Panama Conference of 2014 had concluded, I led a group of 30 interested parties out to the west coast of the Azuero Peninsula for the weekend. We were all making the trip to enjoy a couple of days at the beach but also to tour my […]
Cash flow from a hard asset is the ultimate investor objective right now, and the best case I’d say is when that hard asset produces an agricultural product to feed a growing market demand. The challenge is to find an agricultural investment opportunity that doesn’t require you to get your hands dirty. I’ve been investigating […]
A couple of weeks ago, I introduced you to a new opportunity in Brazil. The response has been strong, and one of the biggest reasons is that the developer allows investors to choose the currency for their investments from among several hard currencies, including the U.S. dollar, euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Singapore dollar.

As the year comes to an end, I’m reviewing the 2013 investment plan I had for myself. On the list of countries I wanted to research and perhaps invest in last year were Ireland, the Philippines, Uruguay, and Peru. How did I do with the objectives I set out for this past year? I didn’t […]
My college Social Studies professor, a hyper dude who worked three jobs and lived off a quarter of his income so he could save the rest to build a children’s hospital, broke society down into nine categories. He referenced the typical lower, middle, and upper classes and then separated each of those categories further into […]
A reader chastised me a few months ago for not having reported on Bitcoin in this e-letter (or anywhere, for that matter). Of course, I’d heard about Bitcoin, but I hadn’t paid much attention to it…until the reader’s comment.Since then, I’ve taken a closer look. My conclusion? Tulipmania.In Amsterdam between November 1636 and February 1637, […]
“You tell us all the time, Lief, to ‘buy what we see.’ “But at the same time, you promote pre-construction investments. How does that make any sense?” one reader wondered this week. Perhaps I should adjust my mantra from “Buy what you see” to “Pay for what you see.” Taken literally, “Buy what you see” […]
