Living, Retiring, And Owning Property In The Algarve

Touching Down In The Old World

After a week in New York, where I was interviewed by CNN, U.S. News & World Report, the Canadian Business News Network, and Fox Business News on the best places to retire and to buy real estate overseas today, I’ve arrived in Algarve, Portugal, a destination that stands out in both those contexts right now.

Portugal’s Algarve, with its 300 days of sunshine a year, its glorious coastline, and its best-of-the-Old World culture, has been attracting retirees from abroad (mostly Britain) for decades. Today this region has our attention for another reason, as well—its property market is among the most undervalued in Europe and a bargain for dollar holders thanks to the U.S. dollar’s continued strength in euro-land. As we’ve been reminding you, the dollar hasn’t had this much buying power in this part of the world since 2003.

Get thee to Europe, we’ve been recommending for months. Finally, here we are, taking our own advice. We will be joined this week by scores of your fellow readers who, like us, are unable to resist what’s on offer in this part of the world today. Attendees for our first-ever Live and Invest in Portugal Conference, which kicks off here in seaside Carvoeiro this Wednesday, begin arriving tomorrow. They and we will be joined, Wednesday through Friday, by our top Portugal advisors, colleagues, experts, and expat friends, who will give us a front-row, insider’s look into current options and opportunities for living, retiring, and owning real estate in this beautiful and historic country.

This is a magical corner of Europe, offering great beaches, great food, and great golf, plus, now, easy residency and tax advantages and, again, a seriously undervalued property market.

It’s that last point that has brought Lief and me to the Algarve a few days in advance of this week’s conference. We’re considering investing in a rental property on this impressive coastline and will be shopping on our own account tomorrow and Tuesday. We’ll share details of our firsthand experiences and impressions with attendees at the conference this week and with you, as well, through our dispatches from the scene.

We’ve been looking forward to this trip for months. Stay tuned for real-time reports of our adventures and discoveries.

Kathleen Peddicord has covered the live, retire, and do business overseas beat for more than 30 years and is considered the world's foremost authority on these subjects. She has traveled to more than 75 countries, invested in real estate in 21, established businesses in 7, renovated historic properties in 6, and educated her children in 4.

Kathleen has moved children, staff, enterprises, household goods, and pets across three continents, from the East Coast of the United States to Waterford, Ireland... then to Paris, France... next to Panama City, where she has based her Live and Invest Overseas business. Most recently, Kathleen and her husband Lief Simon are dividing their time between Panama and Paris.

Kathleen was a partner with Agora Publishing’s International Living group for 23 years. In that capacity, she opened her first office overseas, in Waterford, Ireland, where she managed a staff of up to 30 employees for more than 10 years. Kathleen also opened, staffed, and operated International Living publishing and real estate marketing offices in Panama City, Panama; Granada, Nicaragua; Roatan, Honduras; San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; Quito, Ecuador; and Paris, France.

Kathleen moved on from her role with Agora in 2007 and launched her Live and Invest Overseas group in 2008. In the years since, she has built Live and Invest Overseas into a successful, recognized, and respected multi-million-dollar business that employs a staff of 35 in Panama City and dozens of writers and other resources around the world.

Kathleen has been quoted by The New York Times, Money magazine, MSNBC, Yahoo Finance, the AARP, and beyond. She has appeared often on radio and television (including Bloomberg and CNBC) and speaks regularly on topics to do with living, retiring, investing, and doing business around the world.

In addition to her own daily e-letter, the Overseas Opportunity Letter, with a circulation of more than 300,000 readers, Kathleen writes regularly for U.S. News & World Report and Forbes.

Her newest book, "How to Retire Overseas: Everything You Need to Know to Live Well (for Less) Abroad," published by Penguin Random House, is the culmination of decades of personal experience living and investing around the world.
