At last week’s Live and Invest in Belize Conference, I was able to catch up with Belize contacts and friends. I learned two specific things from my discussions and meetings that I think are worth passing along. The first is that Belize now requires all IBCs to confirm to their registered agents that they are […]
He’s asked Kathleen Peddicord, therefore, to fill in for him today… My first trip to Belize, coming up on 30 years ago, was organized courtesy of the Belize Tourism Authority. I was a starting-out travel writer; the BTA was looking for press. This was well pre-“Survivor,” pre-“Temptation Island.” The only people who knew this tiny […]
The idea behind Maya Spring Estates is privacy and elbow room. The developer has allowed for only 20 lots, each one big enough to serve as a base for a fully self-sufficient lifestyle. Lot sizes range from 2.5 acres up to more than 9.5 acres, meaning you have enough room to build a house and […]
Singapore was dubbed the most expensive city in the world to live in last week by The Economist Intelligence Unit. That distinction is partly due to the fact that it’s extremely expensive to own a vehicle in this country. The cars themselves aren’t cheap, but it’s the cost of the right-to-own permit that really gets […]
Many people think buying property in another country is a risk-filled quagmire that is too complicated to overcome.

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 […]
Last week I mentioned that I was trying to set up a forex account to save some pips on a transfer from U.S. dollars to euro for a property purchase I’m making in France. The first forex company I tried to work with turned out to be no better than others I have tried in […]
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 […]
