asked what to invest in here in Panama but first I am always asked WHY should I invest in Panama.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I first studied the\u00a0benefits of\u00a0 subsidies and government programs available to investors\u00a0and started learning more about the provinces in Panama\u00a0after my first visit in 2006.\u00a0 I applied what I had learned when\u00a0I first invested here in 2007 and as\u00a0I continue to look for more\u00a0opportunities, I\u00a0remember\u00a0the basics when I look at any deal.\u00a0\u00a0 A big reason WHY I invested in Panama was to secure assets outside the United States as I felt that the deteriorating factors that contributed to the meltdown in 2008 would weigh heavily on properties and equities there.\u00a0 Furthermore, having been around for a number of past recessions, I knew that this one was different and it was time to get moving before I lost more of my wealth.\u00a0 Good time to sit things out in Panama though I do hear that they have spotted some light at the end of the tunnel back in the US.\u00a0 Or is that someone with a flashlight lost looking for a way out?\u00a0 I still love the US but I love Panama a lot more for a whole lot of reasons, first off and foremost because we have a better quality if life.\u00a0 Might not be rich but we are rich in spirit here.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">WHERE<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The next question that\u00a0I am always asked is\u00a0WHERE should I invest.\u00a0 The best thing that\u00a0I can\u00a0recommend is diversification and that includes product type and\u00a0regions as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a

style=\"text-align: justify;\">Follow us on a journey to places we like.\u00a0 These markets are serviced by both the Panamerican Highway and or major coastal highways as well as\u00a0by air within an hour from Panama City and each location is less than\u00a0an hour\u00a0and a half\u00a0from an airport, all important when considering a near term investment here in Panama.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Panama City is the epicenter of the financial and business world in Panama as well as the region.\u00a0 People in North, Central and South America travel to and through Panama as do the goods coming from China and Europe transit the Canal.\u00a0 That is why Panama has the second largest Free Trade Zone in the World.\u00a0 Therefore, Panama City is an important region for part of your portfolio of property in Panama.\u00a0 I like the City and specifically Casco Viejo for boutique hotel. night club bar properties.\u00a0 I also like the office condominium market in Costa del Este where I just finished looking at some net leased properties that are for sale.\u00a0\u00a0 There is a new industrial, flex building market opening up around Tocumen and I see opportunities to invest in that market as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a

justify;\">The next market that I like is on the &#8220;gold coast&#8221; and specifically Coronado.\u00a0 My friend Michael Vuytowecz who runs Inside Panama has some great deals for income producing vacation rentals in Coronado Golf.\u00a0 He is the expert on this market and I refer clients to him all the time without hesitation. Here you can buy into the lifestyle of a gated golf course community with a full membership for around $250,000.\u00a0 Rent seasonally until you are ready to live full time and in the meantime make money to pay off your purchase!!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\">The Coronado Golf Community is one of the best locations in Panama to build lasting  connections with family and friends alike. It is a stunning project set  in the heart of the prestigious Coronado Golf Club with facilities such  as restaurants, bars, fitness center, beach club, equestrian club,  tennis courts and health and beauty parlor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\">Live a superior lifestyle with something for every one of your  moods.\u00a0Your active side keeps busy at the rooftop pool or with friends.  \u00a0Your easy side is happy relaxing at home or playing a round of  golf.\u00a0\u00a0Coronado Golf reflects this same commitment to quality and  provides the rich community life you\u2019ve been looking forward to.<\/p>\n<p>Coronado Golf offers a life you will be proud of, one that settles  for everything.Typically the sale price includes all the furnishings. \u00a0 \u00a0The  condo also includes lifetime membership to the Coronado Resort (valued  at $15,000) with one of the best professional 18 hole golf courses in  Latin America (designed by Tom Fazio), bars, restaurants, lap pool,  games room. All within a short golf buggy ride or drive from the  condominiums. \u00a0The membership usually also includes access into the prestigious  Coronado Beach Club and the Equestrian Club.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/coronado-golf.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6147\" title=\"coronado golf\" src=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/coronado-golf-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/coronado-golf-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/coronado-golf.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The next province that I would look at is\u00a0 the province of Los Santos, specifically the\u00a0southern part of the Azuero peninsula\u00a0near the town of Pedasi.\u00a0 Pedasi had a huge growth spurt in the 2004 to 2007 period and fell back some in 2008 along with the rest of the world.\u00a0 However, we are talking about an area that is still in it&#8217;s infancy and has a lot of room to grow.\u00a0 I specifically like the Venao Beach area as it has one of Panama&#8217;s finest beaches\u00a0but with just the beginnings of real concrete developments and a few surfer camps which is what preceded the boom markets in Costa Rica.\u00a0 I like the idea of buying land for near term development of residential and resort community geared more to the\u00a0 middle market.\u00a0 While there is already a luxury presence in the area like the <a title=\"Azueros\" href=\"http:\/\/azueros.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Azueros Project<\/a>, I prefer to cater to the value oriented market that is much larger yet still be in the best location.\u00a0 My friend Tedd Tennis has a few of these opportunities in Pedasi including\u00a0 by example a loft in Azueros that is very well priced.\u00a0 These make excellent vacation rentals for income purposes as well.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>For Sale<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/azuero-loft.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6116\" title=\"azuero loft\" src=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/azuero-loft.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"308\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/azuero-loft.jpg 613w, https:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/azuero-loft-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 308px) 100vw, 308px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pedasi<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>$225000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1979.5 Sq Ft<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Azueros Ocean Lofts are 20 beautiful duplex  units (10 buildings) spread along one of Pedasi\u2019s best beaches. The  community features several incredible homes.\u00a0 Tedd also has some beautiful luxury beach homes as well if you are looking for something special.\u00a0 I deal with Tedd because he is a straight shooter and I know that I can safely refer clients to him so drop me a line if you are interested in learning more about this market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another province that I would consider and a must for any well balanced portfolio is Chiriqui.\u00a0 The coastal area of Chiriqui begins as you pass through the mountains of Tole and approach\u00a0a checkpoint on the Panamercian Highway.\u00a0 Just before this you pass by a nondescript \u00a0road the leads to the coast.\u00a0 This is the Antigua Panamericana or old Panamerican Highway.\u00a0 I once took a trip through the region when I headed back to Santiago and saw a land that was lost in time when the new highway was created.\u00a0 Just ten minutes down the newly paved road\u00a0 off of the Panamerican highway, you begin to see mountains that drop down to the coast and have a westerly facing vantage point making for some spectacular views and incredible sunsets.\u00a0 There are a number of investors who\u00a0visited this area\u00a0long before me and are heavily invested in the area.\u00a0 This is one of the best kept secrets in Panama and an area where you can capitalize on its near term growth.\u00a0\u00a0 Just an hour and a half from the international airport in David and accessible to a well protected marine waterway this area has the closest access to Coiba Island .\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Unesco declared the entire\u00a0Coiba National Park a &#8220;World Heritage Site&#8221; in July 2005.\u00a0 Then there is Hannibal Bank and Isla Montuosa where record Marlin and Tuna are caught not to mention the many other species that we fish for on a regular basis.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We have a number of\u00a0 opportunities to discuss with you should you wish to get in on the low basis still available there.\u00a0 An example is a property we recently sold for $280,000 where the owner sliced off a small piece selling it for $150,000 while retaining 85% of the master property.\u00a0 Here is a post that I did on this market and the changes since the new highway has been paved that take you from Quebrada de Piedra all the way to Santa Catalina.\u00a0\u00a0 <a title=\"Roadway Connectivity Opening New Markets\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/news-from-panama\/roadway-connectivity-opening-new-markets\/\">Roadway Connectivity Opening New Markets<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/main.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6100\" title=\"main\" src=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/main.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"298\" height=\"221\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here\u00a0is an aerial shot looking east at the mountains on the coast from a vantage point above a private ranch and playa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/playa-de-toro.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-941\" title=\"playa de toro\" src=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/playa-de-toro-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/playa-de-toro-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/playa-de-toro.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And here we go looking back at the beach and ocean \u00a0from a secret place in these coastal hills\u00a0and mountains that we just visited again this past month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/panorama1.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/panorama1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-943\" title=\"panorama\" src=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/panorama1-1024x263.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/panorama1-1024x263.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/panorama1-300x77.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The view is from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paradise-fishing-lodge.com\" target=\"_blank\">Paradise Fishing<\/a> , an appropriate name for an incredible spot on earth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Chads-place-sunset.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-944\" title=\"Chads place sunset\" src=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Chads-place-sunset-300x219.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Chads-place-sunset-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Chads-place-sunset-1024x750.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Chads-place-sunset.jpg 1275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> After a tough day battling huge fish, you can \u00a0sip a cocktail at sunset from the lagoon pool!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We then continue westward down the coast to Las Lajas beach and beyond to Boca Chica.\u00a0 We are currently working on a number of opportunities along the coast and we can suggest a few pieces of property there as well.\u00a0 Theses are &#8220;Off Market&#8221; opportunities for residential development  projects where the builders have decided to move on and are willing to negotiate very favorable deals with developer terms.\u00a0 They are\u00a0 well located,  have most of the initial infrastructure in place and would make an  excellent project for the\u00a0builder\/investor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you may know, we made our home in the Chiriqui highlands in the town of Boquete where we live and we have a few opportunities there as well.\u00a0\u00a0 While a lot of land has been developed, much of it is poorer quality with\u00a0small projects that lack the economies of scale to provide the best of services that the communities like <a href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/news-from-panama\/valle-escondido-nears-total-sell-out-point\/\" target=\"_blank\">Valle Escondido<\/a> offer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/sold-and-rented.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6114\" title=\"sold and rented\" src=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/sold-and-rented.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I recently completed the sale of a nice duplex villa here in Valle Escondido then rented it for a year where the new owner is getting an 8% return on investment.\u00a0 We are about to close on a another deal in Valle that will also make an excellent investment opportunity.

The coffee-growing area has been transformed in recent years, and some of the most sought after real estate of all.\u00a0 Baby boomers are retiring earlier than the previous generation, and the affordable luxury of\u00a0 Boquete is attracting them because it offers luxury Panama real estate at economic prices.\u00a0 Boquete is rapidly replacing Costa Rica, and other popular Central American destinations for fun in the sun and luxury retirement, according to a recent news article in &#8220;USA Today.&#8221;\u00a0 With 60 million baby boomers entering their retirement age, Boquete will be
