Global Property Investing Made Easy—Here’s How

On stage yesterday for the opening morning of this week’s Global Property Summit taking place in Panama City, with the help of friends, colleagues, and property experts from around the world, we recounted tales of success… and of failure.

We shared hard-won wisdom with the benefit of hindsight and perspective… with one overriding objective in mind—namely, to answer two critical questions:

How do you make money investing in real estate overseas?

And, as important, how can you lose money investing this way?

The three-dozen global real estate experts who have joined us in Panama this week are answering both of these questions from firsthand, real-world experience.

In addition, with their help, we’ve pinpointed markets and current opportunities from turn-key agricultural buys to pre-construction plays, condo hotels, land, and rentals… short-term, long-term, and commercial…

The timing of this event is not a coincidence. We are right now living through an era in property investing the likes of which hasn’t been seen in decades… an opportunity to take advantage of crisis markets, shifting demographics, technology advancements, mega-infrastructure advancements, and geopolitical realities.

And that’s not to mention perhaps the biggest opportunity of the moment: the strength of the U.S. dollar.

For dollar investors, some of the world’s best property markets are on sale right now.

The challenge today isn’t ferreting out a good property investment opportunity that diversifies you into a foreign market. The challenge today is the abundance of such opportunity. As a friend at last week’s conference put it, we global property investors are drinking from a fire hose right now.

How and where to focus?

Yesterday morning, to help frame the discussions and the recommendations to come, host Lief Simon and fellow global property investor Lee Harrison presented sample portfolios.

“If you had US$150,000 to invest,” I asked Lief and Lee in turn, “what would you buy?”

Here’s how Lief responded:

Lief’s US$150,000 portfolio includes:

  • Resort rental condo in the Dominican Republic (using leverage)
  • Mango plantation in Panama
  • Hard-money developer loan in Panama (targeting the fast-growing local housing market)

If he had US$500,000 to place right now?

Here’s how Lief would spend that property investing budget:

Lief 500k portfolio

With a budget this big, Lief would buy:

  • Resort rental condo in the Dominican Republic (using leverage)
  • Mango plantation in Panama
  • Hard-money developer loan in Panama
  • Truffle plantation in Spain
  • Beach townhouse in Brazil
  • Pre-construction condo in Panama (in an exciting new market we’re introducing to attendees this week for the first time)
  • Tiny house rental in a self-sufficient community in Belize

What would Lee buy with US$150,000?

With this budget, Lee would invest in:

  • Beachfront condo in Brazil
  • Lime plantation in Panama
  • Short-term rental project in Colombia

Where would Lee place US$500,000 of capital right now?

Lee would invest his US$500,000 in:

  • Beachfront condo in Brazil
  • Pre-construction condo in Dominican Republic
  • Managed short-term rental in Colombia
  • Lime plantation in Panama
  • Truffle plantation in Spain
  • Teak in Nicaragua

How do you source timber, agriculture, rentals, commercial space, land, beachfront, pre-construction, and direct property investments in Colombia, Panama, Portugal, Belize, Brazil, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Thailand, Mexico, and beyond?

Our guys have figured that out.

Over our three days together in Panama City this week, our invited property experts from the world’s most appealing property investment markets right now are showcasing current investment options across asset classes, across budgets, across markets, economies, currencies, and portfolio agendas.

Every opportunity we’re considering, though, has one important thing in common: It’s turn-key.

This is global property profits made easy.

More tomorrow.

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.
