I’m in Belize this week for my Global Asset Protection And Wealth Summit. Kathleen and I arrived in Belize City yesterday afternoon and took an in-country flight out to Cayo to visit our neem trees. When we were last in Belize, in August, we commissioned this first round of tree planting, about 100 neem trees […]
After the launch of the Live and Invest in Nicaragua Conference last month, a reader wrote in to ask how safe we think that country is…really. This reader’s husband couldn’t make the conference dates and, after reading the U.S. State Department’s travel advisory for Nicaragua, told his wife she couldn’t attend the event on her […]
For tourists, Nicaragua is an absolute bargain. The super-low cost of everything attracts backpackers, of course, but it also attracts others looking for a high quality-vacation at a bargain price. The legitimately four-star hotel where we stayed in over the weekend, La Gran Francia, cost us US$60 a night, including breakfast and Wi-Fi
I’ve been on the road four of the past six weeks. Back in the office in Panama City, the mail has piled up. Thought I’d share some of it today… “Lief, I am a big-time fan of you and Kathleen and will be moving to Cuenca very soon thanks to your good data. “But I […]
Today, I’d like to share this letter that, earlier this week, Steve Rosberg—friend and founder of investment management company Ushay (with projects in Argentine forestry, vineyards, and construction)—circulated to his contact list on the current situation in Argentina.

If you’re new to the idea, the “Five Flags” are to do with residency, citizenship, banking, assets, and business. Not everyone needs all five flags […]
Reading today about the drought in California hit home for me the long-term benefits of owning agricultural land somewhere in the world that had access to plenty of water. The drought is being blamed for increased prices of everything from milk and vegetables to In-N-Out burgers. Water levels in Lake Mead, which provides water to […]
A friend told me over dinner last week about a property investment he tried to make in Mendoza, Argentina. He likes the city, but he travels a lot and has property investments in many other countries. He didn’t really need an apartment in Mendoza and owning one would further complicate an already complicated life. On […]
“I told them the contract is risky, but they invested anyway.” That’s what one of my attorney contacts told me about a recent client experience. He was surprised and even appalled that the client didn’t take his advice and walk away from the investment because he, the attorney, had concerns about some of the contract […]
The euro is on a downward slide that appears likely to continue in the wake of the recent nominal rate cut by the ECB. Unfortunately for me, I just converted U.S. dollars to euros to buy an apartment in Paris at possibly the worst time in the last two-and-a-half years to have made such an […]
