334: Panama Beach Development: Margaritaville

What if you could get in early on a project developed by Margaritaville, the renowned international resort chain known for its vibrant community, before the crowds arrive? In this episode, I am going to replay the webinar I hosted live this past Saturday, where we walk through the massive upside potential of investing in an area rapidly expanding and set to become Panama’s next top vacation destination.  With exclusive off-market access for Expat Money subscribers, this is a rare opportunity to secure prime beach real estate before the crowds arrive. This presentation will demonstrate how you can position yourself to capitalize on the significant upside of this development in the coming years. Enjoy!   TODAY’S PRESENTATION ON MARGARITAVILLE’S NEW BEACH DEVELOPMENT IN PANAMA Listen in to learn why Margaritaville isn’t just about any single resort or cruise but rather a state of mind centred around a vibrant community. We’ll unpack why Playa Caracol—an area I have been promoting for years now—is such a prime location for growth that it was chosen for Margaritaville. Find out why the recent election of Panama’s new President has made the Playa Caracol area an even more attractive destination for investment.  Discover why Playa Caracol is such a rapidly growing tourist destination. Margaritaville is now set to be the heart of the developing area.  Take in all the nuts-and-bolts details of the Margaritaville resort itself and the specific units available to the Expat Money community.  Stick around for the Q&A session in the second half, which will likely answer any question that might have come to mind during the main presentation. Can you gain Panamanian residency through the purchase of these units? Find out how these investments can really beef up your offshore Plan-B. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a full understanding of this off-market investment opportunity with Margaritaville and why you must get in early, or you’ll get left behind.    RESERVE YOUR SPOT IN MARGARITAVILLE NOW!

In this episode, Rafa shares how his expat journey led him to invest and do business in “wild frontier” nations like Mali and The Gambia.

Listen to hear how Rafa’s experiences in war-torn countries led him to appreciate the peace of mind of doing business in a country like Paraguay.

325: Trump’s Election & What It Means for Your Offshore Plan-B

No matter where you live or where you’re from, it’s hard to avoid the U.S. election. Whether we like it or not, whoever holds that office has tremendous power and will undoubtedly affect the geopolitical landscape over the next four years. In today’s episode, I am joined by two of my Expat Money team members, Marc Clair and Remso Martinez - who happen to be Americans and experts on U.S. politics. The three of us have a roundtable discussion about the recent election of Donald Trump and its potential impact on expats and your offshore plans. We explore what his promises around tax cuts, deregulation, and government downsizing could mean for Americans living overseas and why an offshore Plan-B remains essential in today’s volatile political landscape. Enjoy!   TODAY’S CONVERSATION ABOUT THE U.S. ELECTION OF DONALD TRUMP: Join me and two American experts as we discuss Trump’s election victory, analyzing its immediate impacts on the U.S. economy and global conflicts. We explore the broader cultural shifts following Trump’s win: does it mark a turning point against wokeness and lockdown policies? Discover how the Internet and Trump’s last-minute campaign podcast tour played a role in his election success. Can Trump follow through on promises to cut government size and drastically reduce taxes? We share predictions on the direction his presidency could take. How did Trump achieve this victory? Marc and Remso unpack the conditions that paved the way, along with why this election didn’t see the same “shenanigans” as in 2024. Should Americans still create an offshore Plan-B and/or become expats with Trump as President? We delve into Trump’s potential impact on the BRICS alliance and its push towards non-dollar payment systems—will the trend towards de-dollarization continue under his presidency?   ATTEND THE WEALTH, FREEDOM & PASSPORTS CONFERENCE IN PANAMA!
