A few years back, while everyone else was still raving about Tulum, I’d already moved my sights across the other side of Mexico. If you took my advice then you got a heck of a deal on an ocean-view property situated in the heart of Mexico’s next big push in tourism. As I expected, significant […]
My picks for the five top property markets for 2021? I reveal them below. These are the five markets I’m most bullish on post-COVID-19. In each case, you can invest for a healthy cash flow… and—wait for it—for less than six figures. In fact, in most of these markets, you can get in for under […]
It’s that time of year again… And you may be scrambling for gift ideas for certain friends and family members. I have a suggestion that could help. I’m talking about one of nature’s most-rewarding gifts… Not gold, frankincense, or myrrh—all three of which you can pick up in a gift box on Amazon for just […]

If you wait too long for an exchange rate to get where you want it to be before sending your money for a real estate purchase, the opportunity can disappear. […]
“I don’t care why you’re here this week looking at Panama,” David Stubbs told the room full of Live and Invest in Panama Conference attendees this morning. “Whatever your interests in Panama, the economics of the country are important to you. Even if you’re just here for a vacation, this is stuff you should be […]
Panama is truly a convenient place to live if you want to travel around Latin America. A recent flight from Panama City to Santiago, Chile, for example, wasn’t short (at seven hours), but it was painless.
