Just back from a real estate investing trip where we visited multiple properties across Panama. There is so much happening in the country. You can buy an old UNESCO building to fix up in the historic center or you can invest in pre-construction development on the ocean. You can find ocean front homes for $400k and brand new condos for $1.2million. We looked at over 20 properties in 14 days, made connections with agents and narrowed down our focus to where we want to invest and what type of real estate makes the most sense for us in different parts of Panama. Overall a great learning experience and who knows we might own property here soon!
