Retirees Look for Land for Sale in Panama

Ralph Smith of FedSmith.com penned an article this week entitled “Are you Part of the Retirement Tsunami? Where Will You Retire?”.

Smith points out that many U.S. retirees will be unable to afford the lifestyle that they had once envisioned. Many retirees are looking outside of the U.S., particularly to Panama, for a variety of reasons, including:
  • Mild weather
  • Low taxes (no property taxes for 20 years)
  • Affordable cost of living
  • Affordable medical costs at world-renown hospitals like Johns Hopkins
  • Affordable property
  • Discounts on a variety of different goods and services
  • English is widely spoken
Many have questioned the standard of living in Panama. The costs of living are lower and the country moves at a slower pace than that of the United States. Foreigners looking to retire or relocate to Panama should spend a few weeks in Panama before committing to living and should employ an attorney prior to property transactions.
