RULE No 1 – DON’T BUY B S! !!
Panama,Panama, Panama..everyone is talking about Panama ..Invest in Panama, flip Panama, buy a condo for a song and live like a king for $10.00 a month…yeah yeah…we’ve all heard it. We’ve all seen the retirement websites…the ones that tout these venues around the world as paradise on a stick, the BEST places you’ll EVER live..SO Easy, SO CHEAP!!!!. Before you buy their BS and plunk down your hard-earned $$$$ , find out if these people actually LIVE in these places and for how long?
Boquete has become an incredibly popular destination…we all know that, especially the ones who moved here years ago. And we all know why. We actually like it. BUT we also know all the hard stuff too…the stuff the others won’t tell you. You can find tons of general info about Panama on the web and in different retirement books and that is a great place to start. But if you are seriously considering moving and living here successfully, you need to skip the hype and BS and get solid, detailed, on the ground information.
Retiring or moving overseas is a HUGE step, there are things you need to consider BEFORE you get here and information that you will continue to need long after you do get here! ….Save yourself time, money($$$$$!!) and more importantly the rest of your sanity – BUY this BOOK and get what you need to know!!
