Panama too Expensive? “You can still find great apartments in Panama City Dear Reader,
Over the last three years, we've been hearing rumblings that Panama has gotten too expensive … that it's no longer a good deal. And we've heard that not only from readers, but also from a few staff members. Panama has long been the prime choice for retirees, second-home buyers, and property investors alike. Readers have retired in style, enjoyed terrific vacation homes, and made money. The country deserved the #1 spot on our Global Retirement Index for six straight years. It’s been a winner. But we decided to dig deeper … to broaden the appeal of this successful destination. Our work paid off. Yes, we’re still well-connected to the premium property market that has made Panama a mainstay with property buyers and investors from around the world. The Panama that offers the luxury of Miami at a fraction of the price is still there … and it’s still booming. But we’ve gone a step further. We’ve tapped into the local market and found investment and lifestyle properties that are so affordable many people thought they were gone. Properties marketed to the local buyer rather than the foreign buyer, including:
Expensive? No … it’s a bargain. It’s the hidden, affordable Panama. A place where you can still live on $1200 per month. What’s more, the 20-year property tax exemption is back, and the government recently returned to giving 90-day tourist entry to US citizens. The pensioners’ visa is still easy to obtain, while delivering one of the best retirement packages in the world. And there’s more … take a look why people are choosing Panama today
And the best part? You can relax … knowing that your retirement is comfortable and secure, and that your money will stretch a long way. Today, there is more happening in Panama than I could possibly share with you in a letter like this. That's why I'm inviting you to listen in to what was said behind closed doors at a meeting in Panama this summer.
Discover the hidden, affordable Panama
When you join us, you’ll discover everything you need to know You’ll see a broad view of an affordable
You’ll come away with more focused, on-target information than we’ve ever pulled together for a single Panama event. And it’s a broader, deeper coverage that unmasks more of the real estate market than has ever been seen before. Discover a relaxed, rewarding lifestyle by exploring a side of Panama that is just coming to light Imagine yourself sitting in a sidewalk café, settling down to read the morning paper, in English. The premium Panamanian coffee is fragrant and hot, and the fresh-made carimañolas are barely cool enough to eat. The smell of baking bread and coffee wafts over the neighborhood. True, at $2.00 per pound, you could have made the coffee at home for pennies. But this way, you can enjoy watching the locals bustle by as you soak in the brilliant freshness brought on by the overnight rains. After just one more steaming cup, stroll to the nearest bookstore and study the titles available in English or buy tickets to a show at the national theater for only $5. Maybe later you can take in the matinee at the movies for less than $3.00.
The modern supermarket is full of juicy tropical fruits and fresh vegetables, at “locally grown” prices. But it also has the niceties that you’ve grown accustomed to over the years ... fancy cheeses, tapenades, or cuts of meat. Feel like eating out? A healthy, three-course executive lunch is available just about anywhere for $3.00. Maybe this Friday, a weekend retreat is in order ... perhaps to El Valle, to enjoy the cool mountain breezes. The ride out there (on an air-conditioned bus) will set you back only $4.00, while a clean room is just $15 for the night. Take in the flowers, plants, and handicrafts at one of Panama’s biggest open-air markets, walk the trails at Cerro El Gaital nature preserve, or cool off under the 120-foot waterfall known as Chorro El Macho. Prefer the beach? From Panama City you can pack a picnic and take the $10 (round-trip) ferry ride to Taboga Island for the day. Known as the “island of flowers,” Taboga features hiking trails and a wildlife refuge, plus a homey little village and beach.
The choice is yours … as it is every day. And the best part of all this is that you’re spending only $1200 a month. A budget that would barely let you leave your former home up north to venture out into the sleet. All because you’ve found the hidden Panama…a life that few foreigners have discovered. At the Live and Invest in Panama seminar, Imagine the confidence you’ll have going forward as our Panama team lays the groundwork for your adventure abroad:
This information would take years to collect without the local, inside contacts we’ve pulled together for this seminar.
Cool breezes and long mountain views There’s more to Panama than good city living. Not far from Panama City, you’ll discover luxuriant green mountains, vast stretches of rolling farmland and the small towns that form Panama’s heartland. Here you’ll see few tourists. Instead you’ll discover rushing streams, expansive views, and pure mountain air … a fresh climate, all year long. Enjoy long walks in the forest, quietly watching the thousands of species of plants, birds, and wildlife. Take pleasure in the tumble of a wild river, the peace of a quiet glade, or the thrill of coming across a waterfall in the forest. Maybe you’ll spend the afternoon swapping tales with fellow expats in Boquete… a town that AARP has recognized as one of the world’s top retirement havens. Or perhaps you'll follow our lead and look to less-developed areas nearby, with quiet village streets, local shops, and lower property prices. Want to be closer to Panama City? We've discovered little-known developments at high elevations just a short drive from the city and the best Pacific beaches. With extremely inexpensive properties and unspoiled natural settings, these areas are sure to grow in popularity. If you’d like to get away from it all, we’ve discovered
If you are seeking a rural country property—one that’s not part of an organized community or even necessarily in a town—Panama's interior has a lot to offer. In fact, in the Chiriquí province we just found a small 10-acre ranch on offer for only $30,000 … and a 30-acre ranch for only $80,000 … and 15 acres for just $40,000. Deals that most realtors don’t even know about. Panama is the place for good country living. But you won’t have to give up the comfort of the solid Panamanian infrastructure, stable government, or strong, dollarized economy.
The Panama countryside offers the expat some solid choices when it comes to lifestyle and cost of living. You decide just how connected or removed you want to be from the rest of the world, and know that you’ll live for a fraction of the cost that you would back home. But whether you choose an upscale planned community, a home in town or a ranch in the country, you can rest assured that good medical care, fellow expats and all of your material needs are not far away. It’s one of the many advantages of living in a tiny country that offers big value. Attend the Live and Invest in Panama seminar
You’d spend lots of your precious time and money to see this side of Panama on your own. At the Live and Invest in Panama seminar, we're gathering the experts from all of Panama’s regions… in one place … at the same time. Panama’s dazzling coastline has emerging opportunities For many expats, the best part of Panama is its beaches. The country boasts more than 1000 miles of Pacific and Caribbean coastline, and some of the world’s most dazzling white sand beaches. The weather is always warm and balmy. So no matter what time of year you choose to come, you can enjoy the sand, surf, and the great outdoors. Panama’s coast offers a wide variety of alternatives. Just choose your favorite—luxury condos, scenic beach communities, or a casita in a tiny beach town, where the neighbors are friendly locals and foreigners are few. Treat yourself to a luxury, all-inclusive lifestyle
Perhaps you want to pamper yourself in a resort community, with spa treatments, an on-site gym, a sparkling infinity pool, and aerobics … all at your fingertips. Some communities also offer shopping, planned activities, and nightly entertainment—including shows and dancing. Here you’ll enjoy an active beachside lifestyle—day and night—without having to leave the property or own a car. Is golf more your style? An ever-increasing number of seaside communities offer rolling green golf courses as well as white sand beaches … the best of both worlds. And this luxury lifestyle will cost you a fraction of what you’d pay in the rest of the world, while bringing high-return rental opportunities. Relax in a beachfront setting that gives you more land Maybe you’d prefer to be closer to nature … a larger property with trees, wildlife and a bit of space around you. A community with clubhouse … maybe a stable. Coastal Panama offers beach communities that are reminiscent of a nature preserve, with expansive lots and small crescent beaches at the forest’s edge. Here you can enjoy hiking, fishing, and nature-watching, while treasuring your peace and tranquility. Best of all, some of these projects sell for one-tenth the price (per square meter) of the denser projects closer to Panama City. In every crowd, there are a handful of people
To adventurers like you, amenities are less important than the magic of immersion in a new culture. You want to blend into the local community and become a part of Panama. Imagine waking to the sound of the crashing waves. Then take a moment to enjoy a fresh-squeezed tropical fruit juice and a cup of rich coffee before heading to the local market. Along the way, you’ll stop to chat with friends and catch up on the latest news around town. This afternoon, it’s off to the beach. Sure, there are no seaside amenities: just the beach umbrella over your shoulder and the cooler you’re carrying. After all, peace and quiet is why you’re here … you want no sounds that didn’t come from nature. And the best part of this new life is what it cost to make it happen. We’ve found small properties on the beach for as little as $38,000, in locations where you could live on $1,200 per month. At the Live and Invest in Panama seminar, The all-inclusive life of luxury … stately, country-coastal living … and how to buy and live like a local. When you listen to the Live and Invest in Panama seminar recordings, you will;
There’s no better way to begin your exploration of coastal Panama than from the comfort and convenience of your own living room! The next boom has begun …
The boom continues. The expansion of the Panama Canal—a mega project launched just months ago—is one of many multimillion dollar projects expected to fuel the economy and the property market over the next years. This is a market that has performed extremely well for property investors over the last six years, and is still providing handsome returns and respectable gains for buyers today. But today’s opportunities are not where they were six years ago … or even two years ago. The marketplace has moved on—evolved. At Live and Invest in Panama, the experts who led the way through Panama’s incredible boom will show us the latest trends in the hottest, upcoming areas. Don’t get me wrong. These market specialists did not come to give investment advice, and they didn ’t intend to make promises about performance. But what they did was give us the benefit of their know-how and experience … the same expertise that led the way through this incredible market so far. There’s no better place than Panama right now The economy is powerful in Panama, and people are coming from all over the world to share in the economic opportunity. Unfortunately, the hotel industry hasn’t kept up. There’s a critical shortage of hotel rooms in Panama City today. But this shortage has created a terrific opportunity for property owners and investors to cash in on what’s now the region’s hottest rental market. Occupancy is at an all-time high, and rental returns are enviable. At the Live and Invest in Panama seminar, you’ll learn where to buy, what to buy, and what kind of returns to expect when managing a rental property in Panama. If you want to get in on one of the world’s premier property markets—one that has been good to investors for years—then there’s no better opportunity to gain access to so much expertise … in one place, at the same time. Whether you’re retiring or buying a second home … investing or starting that new life People are coming to Panama for various reasons. But believe me: we’ve got all the bases covered.
