Live From Scottsdale—Pre-Breakfast Legal Roundtable…Earning A Living Anywhere In The World…Plus Vicki Terhorst Strips Bare

May 2, 2012, Scottsdale, Arizona: Day 3 of our Retire Overseas Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, we’re discussing ways to supplement your retirement nest egg so that you can afford to retire where you want when you want, why your best health coverage option could be to go without insurance, and how to organize your administrative life as a retiree overseas.

Dear Live and Invest Overseas Reader,

"I thought it'd be just me and him, staring at each other for an hour," remarked the friendly IT expert here in Scottsdale who has been recording every presentation throughout our Retire Overseas Conference this week. He looked up with a smile to greet me as I came into the room about 7:45 a.m. to prepare for my first session this morning.

"I couldn't believe it," he continued, "but, when I arrived at 6:15, there were a couple of dozen people here already, waiting for Joel to start..."

Your Most Important Ally Overseas

Dec. 14, 2010, Panama City, Panama: Your most important ally when buying, selling, or renting real estate in any developing market is your attorney.

"How To Retire On Less Money In Brazil'

Dear Live and Invest Overseas Reader,

Your most important ally when buying, selling, or renting real estate in any developing market is your attorney. First thing, before you do anything else, you need to find a local one you can trust who speaks real English, who has experience working with foreigners...

Solid Rental Yield In This Top Overseas Retirement Market

Dec. 9, 2011, Piriapolis, Uruguay: Piriapolis, Uruguay, offers a good opportunity for investing in a beach resort rental that could return a yield of more than 12% a year.

Dear Live and Invest Overseas Reader,

Uruguay, home to about 3.5 million people, is a generally sleepy place. The country boasts a stable economy based mostly on agriculture (along with a growing banking industry) and politics that could be described as boring (especially compared with the country's next-door neighbor, Argentina).

Those things, among others, make Uruguay a great retirement destination. But investment haven? Not necessarily. As in all markets, though, there are important exceptions.

One is the tourist accommodation market--that is, hotels and short-term rentals--on stretches of this country's coast. Uruguay is "the" beach vacation destination for Argentines and Brazilians during their summer months (Christmas through February with shoulder seasons from the beginning of December and much of March).

May 1, 2012, Scottsdale, Arizona: On Day 2 of our Retire Overseas Conference in Scottsdale, our panels of experts are addressing key considerations to do with purchasing property in a foreign country, establishing foreign residency, obtaining a second passport, and remaining tax compliant as an Americans overseas.

Dear Live and Invest Overseas Reader,

"I've been presenting to groups like this one for about 30 years," friend and attorney Joel Nagel explained to the group assembled in Scottsdale this morning for this week's Retire Overseas Conference.

"For a long time, when I'd speak about residency and citizenship options around the world, a few scruffy-looking fellows sitting in the back rows would perk up and lean forward. These characters were interested in those things...wanted to know about how to get a second passport, for example.
