One of the benefits of hosting conferences around the world is the chance they give me to spend focused time with key contacts in key markets. It’s at our conferences that I find out about ear-to-the-ground kinds of opportunities that usually don’t make it beyond a small circle of investor-friends. This week in Medellin, for […]
“So we’ll go to the apartment to drop off our bags and pick up the cellphones,” I said. “Then let’s head right back out. It’s a beautiful afternoon. Let’s walk to town and stop somewhere for drinks.” “Sounds good,” Lief replied. “We can call Lee to ask if he’d like to meet for dinner. His […]
The first viewing was a one-bedroom, two-bath apartment with a den on Avenida Balboa. The den could be converted into a small bedroom to make the unit a two-bedroom. Why did the developer not package the property this way in the first place? Probably due to concerns over zoning density. Other apartments along Avenida Balboa […]
Lief: “Diversification. I see real estate as the ultimate vehicle for diversification—across countries, markets, economies, politics, currencies, asset types…” Lee: “For a better retirement. I’ve made several real estate purchases in different countries now, and in each case I’ve started the search with the question: Where do my wife and I want to be? We […]

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.
