I toured apartments that’d make good rentals in several cities and towns along this coast and decided to purchase in Lagos. This is the city where Kathleen and I agreed we’d both most like to return to personally. We try whenever possible to co-mingle agendas, investing in places where we’re interested in spending time as […]
If I had a quarter for every time someone has written in to tell me I’m out of my mind for suggesting people move to or invest in Colombia, I’d have a whole lot more money to invest in Colombia. Even at last week’s Global Property Summit, some of the attendees raised their eyebrows when […]
Why would you want to buy a piece of real estate overseas? That was the starting point for the discussions that have taken place throughout this week’s Global Property Summit down here in sunny Panama. The big advantage of real estate anywhere is that it’s a hard asset, a real and long-term store of wealth. […]

Japan has just recently caused a media uproar by joining the ranks of the ECB and central banks in Sweden, Switzerland, and Denmark, who are all charging commercial banks to store their extra cash.

How much longer will the U.S. dollar remain as strong as it is today versus currencies worldwide? Will it get […]
The beach resort of Santa Marta, Colombia, wins the prize for biggest price drop in 2015. Properties in this popular seaside getaway fell from US$2,091 per square meter last year to US$1,032 at the start of 2016… a drop of more than 50%. Values in Santa Marta actually increased in Colombian peso terms, but the […]

Today, while Las Terranas is still a buy, the DR offers several other good options both for generating yields and capital growth.
