You’re invited to join me for a special presentation that will take us to Playa Caracol, one of Panama’s most sought-after beachfront destinations.... The very same beach where I personally own a vacation home, and let me tell you, I absolutely love spending time here with my family - it's the perfect escape from my busy life in Panama City and an even better investment destination for the adventurous offshore investors amongst us! This particular special presentation is available exclusively for the Expat Money community and isn’t available anywhere else… in my world, we call this an off-market deal. I will share a project developed by the internationally renowned resort chain; Margaritaville. The region is rapidly expanding and is poised to become Panama’s next top vacation hotspot… trust me, you DO NOT want to miss out.
