Why Panama Versus Other Central American Countries

Before GH and I went to Panama, we had strongly considered Costa Rica as the optimum place to buy a second home and eventually retire. We knew it had a high literacy rate, excellent medical facilities, wonderful rain forest and was relatively inexpensive. We had already been to Belize, and while we found the people there to be lovely and the country to be stable, outside of Ambergris Caye, we were pretty underwhelmed by the culture (or lack thereof) and the technological advancement of the country. However, we recognized that Belize had discovered a great way to lure retirees there, through offering easy residency with just a moderate social security income. A friend who tried retirement in Belize mentioned that the poor infrastructure and third world attitude sent them packing after only a short trial period. Currently residing in El Valle, she also made the interesting comment that even the expats there seemed like they were running from something instead of running to something. As we continued to research Central America (due to its proximity to the US), doubts rose about rising crime in Costa Rica, the poor quality of roads and other infrastructure, and the squatters’ rights laws, which give squatters property rights in as little as 3 months’ time. In fact, the World Bank ranks Costa Rica near the bottom of the international list as far as protecting investors. Panama’s squatter rights are, as I understand it, more similar to those in the US. After 10 years of de facto possession, squatters can file for title on the land. The issue can be easily resolved (probably in Costa Rica as well) by purchasing property in a gated community that would prohibit potential squatters from even obtaining access. We briefly considered Nicaragua, but again, the other Central American countries seem, from this distance, to lack good infrastructure. In addition, we (and others who submitted comments to us) like the stability of the economy offered in large part through ownership of the Panama Canal by the government, something that occurred in 2000. In my opinion, the canal, which is currently being enlarged, provides a steady, quality income stream to the government that is turned around into sound infrastructure and low taxes. Use of the dollar in Panama is currently another attraction, though that may change as the US currency continues to be deliberately devalued. (I think I’ll write about that at some point vis-à-vis the impact on Panama. It’s an important consideration.) Medicine in Panama is of an excellent quality. Many doctors were trained and are dual licensed in the US and Panama, and are bi-lingual. I’ll be writing a couple blogs about this topic in the coming weeks. I think the international banking scene in Panama is a big plus as well. The banks are not federally insured and they are therefore extremely conservative. The last report I read said they hold, on average, in excess of 60% reserves. Compare that to the pittance required of US banks. BTW, banks in Panama are offering CD rates of between 5-7%…. not too shabby!

Panama’s Top Resort and Retirement Communities

Panama’s Caribbean playground, known by the locals simply as “Bocas”, offers a laid-back atmosphere and burgeoning tourism industry. Originally, it was Bocas that put Panama on the map as an off-the-beaten track vacation destination and is especially popular with surfers, sailors and sun-seekers. Most travel around Bocas is by boat via the calm and clear waters that engulf the area’s many islands. Island hopping, as dreamy as it sounds, can be pleasant while the sun shines, but it is not so pleasant in the rain. Bocas’ airport makes it easily accessible from Panama City in about one hour by plane. Drive time from Panama City is roughly 8 hours to Almirante and then another 45 minutes by water taxi. If you plan to transport a car onto Isla Colon (Bocas’ most populated island, you will need to get in touch with the ferry service which transports vehicles to the island. It is not common for tourists to transport vehicles to Bocas since there are limited road ways and transport by hiring boats to wherever you want to go is more convenient. The advantages of Bocas are its many secluded beaches, wild jungle terrain, outstanding surfing, marinas for sailors, kayaking, fishing, snorkeling and the availability of a host of other water related activities. Seafood here can be quite tasty, and a wide range of new restaurants offering Indian, German, Italian and other cuisines are now open for business. Bocas makes for an excellent vacation getaway. It offers far more outdoor activities than any of Panama’s other destinations and the strong influx of tourists helps provide the base for an emerging expat community. For nature lovers, wilderness seekers, and beach bummers, surfers and sailors, Bocas Del Toro is a must-see. The disadvantages are more acute the longer one stays in Bocas. In Bocas, it rains frequently and since one can never be quite sure if or when it will rain, planning and preparing for rain becomes an ongoing task. Cleanliness and sanitation are neglected as most garbage and sewage ends up in the ocean untreated, with limited currents to carry in fresh water. High-speed Internet can be difficult to obtain, medical facilities are somewhat rudimentary, and grocery selection is poor. These disadvantages are easy to overlook in the short-term, but for many aging expats and retirees looking to enhance their comforts rather than retract them, Bocas may not suffice over the long-term. Real Estate In Bocas – Buyer Beware It is now easy to find a small patch of land in Bocas to call your own. Developers have relentlessly carved the coastline into bite-sized pieces for their foreign counterparts to purchase. Most property in Bocas is offered as “right of possession” whereby buyers are sold the right to possess the property, but clear title to property in Bocas (or any island in Panama) is generally not available. Currently, there is some controversy regarding land and property that was transferred to foreign buyers illegally by the previous municipal government. Purchasing real estate in Bocas is risky business and adequate legal counsel may not always be enough to fully protect your property rights. See the chapter in the Panama 101 E-Book entitled “Buying Real Estate in Panama” for more information on how to engage in right of possession land transactions and how this differs from titled property. In Bocas Del Toro, property with running water, electricity, Internet access and other basic infrastructure sells at a premium, and rightly so. Many expats buy land here with a vision of paradise, only to discover that the costs to build a livable dwelling were way more than they had imagined. Delivering construction supplies by boat, obtaining permits from the overwhelmed government agencies, and other unforeseen obstacles can make it difficult and costly to build in Bocas. Readers should be aware of these challenges before shelling out thousands of dollars to claim their slice. Panama 101 Insider Tip – First time visitors to Bocas Del Toro should not miss Isla Zapatilla. Most of the tour promoters don’t mention these idyllic islands because they are further from town and more costly to reach. However, the extra time is well worth the visit as the scenery is extraordinary and the snorkeling is among the best in the area. Dolphins are often spotted on the way so keep your eyes peeled! Sora About 75 minutes west of Panama City lies a gorgeous range of mountains with a year round spring-like climate similar to that of Boquete and Volcan on the west end of the country. The pride of Sora are its fine ocean views from landscaped building sites, which have been popular for those looking for a country home in a peaceful setting. The Pacific Coast beaches are just a 20 minute drive down the mountain road, making it a popular setting for a second home. The town of Sora itself has little to offer save for a couple of basic restaurants and convenience stores, and some rural Panamanian charm. Along the Inter-American Highway, just 20 minutes down the hill from Sora are facilities like supermarkets, auto mechanics, banks, and the rest of the basics one needs to survive in today’s modern age. The close proximity of Panama City makes day trips to the city feasible.

WHY NOT PANAMA

If you are thinking about retiring, you should put Panama City on your short list. No, not Panama City, Florida. I mean Panama City, Panama. The A.A.R.P.’s magazine, Modern Maturity, ranks Panama as the #1 place in the Americas for retirement. Fortune and International Living placed Panama in their top five, and Conde Nast Traveler selected Panama as one of the six best places for a second home in the Americas. All based their findings on safety, cost of living, infrastructure attractions, beauty and climate.

10 Great Reasons to Buy a Second Home in Central America

In the past, buyers of second homes gravitated toward ski chalets in Vail, hip condos in New York, and even the occasional Tuscan villa. But today, savvy investors are looking to second homes in Central America to get the most value for their money. Now, thanks to technology, it’s no longer intimidating to purchase foreign property. Using the Internet, buyers in the market for second homes in Central America can research the communities and properties they desire without even leaving home. The appeal of these exotic locations is great for many reasons, including: 1) Proximity to the United States - Central America countries like Costa Rica, Mexico, and Panama are all convenient to air travel. In fact, many regions now boast new or improved airports and more frequent direct flights from major U.S. and European cities. 2) Uncrowded Beaches and Ocean View Properties - The combination of great value and natural beauty are becoming increasingly difficult to find in the U.S, but places like Mexico, Panama, and Costa Rica offer these qualities in abundance.. 3) Good Opportunity for Investing - For people looking to diversify their investments using money garnered from stocks, inheritances, business profits, and home equity, a second home in an area where appreciation potential is significant makes great sense. 4) Vacation Getaways - A second home in Central America offers the opportunity to easily escape from the stresses of everyday life, relax and have fun. 5) Tropical Weather All Year - Countries like Mexico, Panama and Costa Rica offer temperate climates and abundant sunshine year round. 6) More Value for the Dollar - The rising prices of places like Arizona and Florida have made many people who want to purchase a second residence look elsewhere. A vacation home in Central America can cost less than one half what a comparable home would cost in the U.S. 7) Retiring Abroad Is More Affordable -The inexpensive prices of homes combined with a low cost of living, makes Central America an effective way to stretch retirement dollars and live a luxury lifestyle on less income. Properties Offer Full Amenity Packages - Major developers are now building upscale, master-planned residential developments that offer everything anyone could want in a second home including resort-style pools, access to beaches, world-class golf courses, fine dining restaurants, upscale retailers and personalized concierge services. 9) Welcoming Attitude Toward Foreigners - In an effort to attract foreign investors, many Central America countries now offer special incentives to foreigners who retire there. For example, Panama offers retirees discounts of 10%-50% on utility bills, doctor visits, airline tickets and sporting events. In Costa Rica, there is no capital gains tax. 10) It’s Safe to Buy Abroad - As countries like Panama, Mexico and Costa Rica open their doors to foreign buyers, more rules and regulations are being established to help protect buyers. For example, title insurance, once a rarity in less-developed locations, is becoming standard. And in these countries, foreigners are entitled to the same property ownership rights as native citizens.
