Panama Attracts Foreign Buyers And Expats

If you have ever wondered what it would be like to live in a tropical paradise, all signs point to Panama. Panama has a lot more to offer than its tourist destinations, it has also become an excellent place for expats and retirees to live in as well as many working professionals and international immigrants.

Though it’s a small country, it’s covered with beautiful diverse landscapes with beautiful beaches, spectacular mountain ranges, tropical rainforests, as well as cities, islands, historical sites, and getaways. It has something for everyone even those who practice leisure activities such as golf, fishing, diving, and surfing.

Aside from its beauty it offers residents world class infrastructure as it has established itself as an international business and financial hotspot. Panama has also become a tax haven as it does not impose taxes on income earned from outside the country making it an ideal location for many foreigners and expats to live in.

It is no surprise that many people are looking at Panama for opportunities including the Paz Global Real Estate team. Paz Global is currently offering an incredible 14.8 hectare piece of land in the beautiful town of Boquete, Panama.
