Why is Panama (still) so Attractive to Americans?
Panama continues to be one of the most popular places for American expats (and, indeed, our clients). Recent news aside, why is that?
Fresh from a trip back, Mark's going to tell us in this month's Nestmann Exchange:
Why Panama is still so attractive to Americans... and where to go to find the "perfect" expat communities.
The right way to buy and hold Panamanian property... this tip could save you thousands of dollars in taxes over the years... not to mention save your heirs a huge headache in the process.
The easiest way to get permanent residence in Panama... with almost no need to actually live in Panama to keep it.
CAREFUL! A common pitfall too many expats fall into that creates a tax headache with Uncle Sam.
The #1 regret Mark hears when he talks to expats about their experience buying property and living in Panama.
