Are you considering buying property in Panama? Slow down and do a lot of research before you jump into any investment. You want to understand the role a realtor plays and why it's essential to have an attorney. Where do you find a trustworthy real estate agent or attorney? Here in Panama, there are many stories of unethical, unscrupulous and scammy players; I've encountered a few!
In this video, I talk about the red flags to watch out for, my advice for pre-construction deals, why cash is king and the importance of doing your due diligence on researching any property you may be interested in. If you understand the process, you can ask your attorney and/or realtor if they are researching specific issues about the property, taxes, ownership and legalities.

    My dad used to pay to have his fish cleaned after fishing in the lake there! The mangoes yes, just falling off the trees. Mangoes in the states are not the same. I was watching one of your videos in Portobelo a while ago and I thought, "Who is this lady that is going around to all of the places we used to go when Panama was our home?" and I started following your adventures there. Bouquete and El Valle were favorite holiday spots.

    Interesting......no escrow. I was just thinking why the example of the seller with $15,000 back taxes wouldn't put $15,000 into escrow at the sale of the property so the taxes could be paid the day the sale is made. Guess you can't do that without escrow. : )

    • @anniesshenanigans3815
      @anniesshenanigans3815 16 годин тому

      they have to have the taxes paid before they can even complete the sale. Which is why so many places cannot be sold because the seller doesn't have the money to pay the taxes. It's not like the US where you can have your property taken away if you don't pay the taxes.

    Is fresh food delivery a big thing in Panama? You mentioned the person that comes through your neighborhood with fresh fish. I was watching a PRT live video yesterday. The woman being interviewed lives in Boquete and she and her husband get fresh produce and meat delivered to their house.

      @@stevel6420 I noticed in El Valle now there is a ‘meat club’ and they deliver to the house. Some farms may opt to do that - I believe one here delivers goat cheese, eggs and other produce. Typically there’s guys selling fish from coolers on a truck, I’ve seen a bread truck go through the neighborhood and they sell live chickens.

      @@oaoun5836 As I’ve mentioned, housing here in El Valle can be challenging. For renting, I suggest people start at the Valle de Anton Suites while looking for a house rental or to purchase land or a house. The time renting gives you a good idea of whether the town is right for you. Helpful to experience both seasons as they are vastly different.

    You always go with the flow, Patty; a commendable trait - especially in a Latin country 😉; something I find hard to do even here in the Arkansas hinterlands... (I blame my German mother for it, while my Austrian father was quite laid back). Anyway, I realized two years ago, Panama - while alluring in its lushness - was not for me. The more I appreciate your videos living vicariously through you (esp. at my age - I hate to say that since I ain't dead yet). 😜

    I just subscribed. You are very informative & helpful. I enjoy watching the videos too. I lived in Panama in the early ‘90’s & have been back twice. We are considering moving there again ina few years. One thing concerns me: you mentioned there are no ambulances in El Valle? That’s scary. While I haven used one in eons, that’s a concern as I grow older (I’m 65 now). Emergency services are a boogie to seniors. And thoughts?

    Facts to straighten: the Chinese came a lot earlier with the construction of the railway. The Afro-Caribbean came for both the railway and the canal but mainly the canal (also Greeks, Spanish, Indians, Irish and many others). The Afro-colonials were brought by the Spanish as slaves.
