Investing in Real Estate for Retirement: Aliens, Volcanoes, And Exit Strategies

Investing in Real Estate for Retirement:

Just a quick note this morning as I’ve got a room full of people waiting for me to kick off day two of my International Property SummitLINKVP down here in Panama City.

We started yesterday with an overview of how to launch your global property portfolio… choosing the right location, finding the right deal… assessing risk and taking the plunge…

Then I was joined by my team of experts for a panel discussion on the perks and pitfalls of overseas real estate.

Overseas Property Alert Editor Sophia Titley shared some of the perks… like how for one couple on a military pension looking overseas—on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus to be exact—meant their retirement home is now a sea-view penthouse… something they could never have afforded in the U.S.

Lee Harrison shared how when he took early retirement at age 49, his goal was to simply have fun… but when he realised the potential to boost his next egg through real estate investing it became fun and profit.

In Ecuador, he bought a riverfront home for just $34,000—that was for fun. He also bought a riverfront plot of land—that was for profit.

In the years since he’s bought and sold property in Uruguay, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico and he always has an eye out for opportunity.

Being in the market in the way Lee has been these past 25 years means he’s perfectly positioned to profit.

And those in the room with us here in Panama City have put themselves in a similar position as we’ve got more than a dozen incredible deals on offer at this year’s International Property Summit.

First up, one just a short drive from Panama City. Our insider Liz took us on a whirlwind tour of this beachside development with 5-star amenities and serious profit potential.

Liz has worked in Panama real estate for 17 years. She knows a good deal when she sees one. And this she knows better than most as it’s where she calls home.

This deal has a lot going for it… as well as the oceanfront clubhouse there’s options for rental income, ageing in place, rental management, financing, and more.

In fact, as Liz shared with those in the room, she has never seen a deal get so much traction as this one… in part thanks to the big name hotel brand backing it but also because of the special deal our contacts have locked in place… To get the inside track on it for yourself get a Virtual Pass now and watch the playback.

We also covered currency and investment diversification, taking title, probate, carrying costs, property taxes, inefficient markets, zoning laws, financing, cashflow, appreciation, and exit strategies.

Then there was the alien landing strip in Vilcabamba and what happened when a Montserrat investment met a volcano…

And that was all before lunch.

After, the deals kept coming… from Argentina, Belize, and beyond. And there’s more to come today and again tomorrow.
