Dear Live and Invest Overseas Reader,

When it comes to retirement destinations, I’m a skeptic…

Because over the past 30 years, I’ve seen and heard it all. I’ve been traveling the globe almost continuously…scouting out opportunity…and searching for the next great destination for living, investing, or retiring abroad…for three decades.

And the reason I’ve tromped all this territory is because I don’t take anyone’s word for anything.

I need to see for myself…poke around…talk to as many people on the ground as I can, and consider every aspect of a place before I consider recommending it. I’ve got to learn it all first-hand…

Including the downsides…

Especially the downsides.

Even when people I know and trust tell me how great a place is, I take the recommendation with a pinch of salt…and bide my time until I can vet the opportunity firsthand.

That’s because over the past three decades, I’ve built a reputation that means a great deal to me. I don’t say something is true if it isn’t, and I don’t paint everything as rosy. You and your hundreds of thousands of fellow readers count on me to give it to you straight.

And I take that responsibility seriously.

And this rigorous approach is how I discovered the city that I believe is on track to become one of the world’s most sought-after destinations, for both retiring and investing.

Frankly, it takes a lot to impress me nowadays, because I’ve seen it all. So imagine my surprise when I found all these things in one place:

• Perfect weather, requiring no heat or air conditioning...
• World-class healthcare...
• A rich cultural scene, with theater, orchestra, and exciting events...
• An affordable cost of living...
• Absolutely low property cost...
• Great investment potential, with possible double-digit returns...

But that’s exactly what I found…thanks to the persistent recommendation of a couple of contacts who finally convinced me I needed to come see this place for myself.

That was three years ago. And in the time since, I’ve made more than 20 return trips…

I’ve bought my own home here…

And I’m actively searching for my next investment property buy…

What’s more, my family and I have even re-thought our overall long-term retirement plan to include this new discovery…that’s how impressed we are with what we found here.

And it’s not just me. Retirees are starting to explore here in unprecedented numbers…they’re buying property...they’re managing rentals…and the increased demand is starting to move the prices upward.

In my considerable experience, this is one of the best places on earth today to establish your foothold overseas.
