There are some really great companies out there offering their services for investing in real estate abroad, or providing information on investing abroad, and I get many of my ideas for investments from these services and publications.
Farmfolio
This real estate company offers investors a chance to participate in agricultural development projects in Central and South America. They have an extensive amount of projects, and offer a lot of information that is useful for analyzing these types of investments. They operate in a fashion that I think is really beneficial to an investor. They are honest about their various agricultural projects, and provide good information to facilitate your decision on whether or not to invest. They are a socially responsible company as well. I always have felt that real estate investment should not only make money for an investor but should have a positive impact on people’s lives.
Inside Panama Real Estate
This company is more of a full service real estate company, with listings of properties for sale or rent throughout Panama. They also have business opportunities where you can buy farms, lodges, even bed and breakfasts. Panama is a unique country in Central America. With the Panama Canal and a progressive government fully committed to developing the country, Panama offers some very good possibilities for investment. We will be investigating this country much more in the months to come.
Live and Invest Overseas
This publication has a lot of information on international real estate investing and information about life in other cities and countries. But do not invest in any of their promotions until you do a lot of due diligence. They promoted an investment in mangos in a Panamanian company and it was a disaster for investors. (See my blog on ‘Close But No Mangos’. But this publication does offer decent information about best places to retire, international health care, properties for sale, and global investing summits.
