The U.S. elections are finally over, and now the talking heads have moved on to discuss the minutiae of Donald Trump’s transition plans. Meanwhile, friends, colleagues, readers, and consulting clients are writing each day to ask what Trump’s victory means for me… How am I adjusting my holdings, my investment plans, and my Plan B […]
Leverage is the Holy Grail for just-getting-started real estate investors in the United States. A mega-industry has developed around no-money-down gurus and their systems. I bought the program of one of the best known of these guys, Carlton Sheets, more than 20 years ago when I was getting started at this myself. Indeed, I followed […]
The U.S. election season is winding down… thankfully. This election has been more embarrassing for this American abroad than any previous such season in my nearly 20 years living overseas. Watching the debate last night, I kept waiting for Jack Bauer to come running into view on the TV screen and save the day. The […]
Earlier this year, I closed on a brand-new condo right on the boardwalk in Mazatlán, Mexico. This came after two years of exploring up and down the Mexican coast and then evaluating one neighborhood against another within Mazatlán’s 20 miles of beaches. I preferred Mazatlán on Mexico’s west coast for a number of reasons… 1. […]
I’ve just returned to Panama City following our Live and Invest in Mexico Conference in Tulum this week. It was my first visit to the Riviera Maya region in four years. Most everything is as I remember it… the beach, the water, the palm trees… with three important differences. First, the value of the peso […]
Independence means something different to each of us. For one friend of mine (let’s call him Jack), it means having enough passive income to embrace an active and interesting but relatively modest lifestyle traveling around the world. Jack likes to see new cultures, to make friends in different countries, and to study history and economics, […]
Since 2001, I’ve picked some of the world’s best places to live… places that stood out because of their fantastic lifestyle, rich culture, and low cost of living. Walking the cobblestones of Spanish colonial cities… enjoying the convenient city living in a world capital… enjoying the world’s best weather… and beachfront living on a tropical […]
In his opening presentation for my Self-Sufficiency Workshop in Belize this month, Wade Hahn made an important distinction. Being self-sufficient isn’t the same as being a doomsday “prepper.” Preppers hoard food and supplies waiting for the world to end… for the zombies to attack, as I put it. Being self-sufficient is about being able to […]
A friend sent me an article over the weekend about the demise of local districts’ identities in Lisbon as a result of increased tourism in that city. The writer of the piece takes the position that tourists are killing the local charm that attracted them to Lisbon in the first place. His argument is that […]
Spain’s housing bubble, Greece’s debt crisis, and recession in Portugal resulted in drops in real estate values in those countries that carry on today (though Spain and Portugal are this side of their bottoms). Meantime, U.S. dollar buyers are benefitting from an uber-in-their-favor exchange rate between the greenback and the euro. Likewise, this is perhaps […]
