I join Roman, my El Salvador real estate agent, to explore some interesting pockets of real estate and land in the lush mountains of El Salvador. We visit a development on a coffee and avocado farm suitable for building retirement and vacation homes, as well as a country club with a golf course and other amenities where lots are available for low-density development.

I join Benedek, my property buyer’s agent in Hungary, to explore little known neighborhoods in the periphery of Budapest. While many people fixate on the more central, touristic areas of the city, these outer districts offer tranquility, value and an authentic Hungarian vibe. Benedek also shares some current insights on the state of the property market in Budapest and explains why investors should focus on capital appreciation plays instead of yield.

I compare the investment and business environments of Thailand and Cambodia to show why Cambodia is a more compelling place to do business these days. Cambodia offers several distinct advantages over Thailand when it comes to managing companies and cash flows, in addition to being much earlier in its economic development lifecycle.

I join Mauricio to explore the various corners of the up and coming Laureles neighborhood in Medellin, Colombia. We discuss why Laureles is a better lifestyle fit for certain individuals compared to El Poblado, and explain the positives and negatives of living in different parts of Laureles.

I meet with Paul, my favorite realtor in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We have a candid conversation about the pros and cons of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We also discuss a few key points about life in Mexico

I spend a day with my agent Ksenija exploring real estate outside Budva in the scenic towns of Sveti Stefan and Pržno. We visit two stunning sea view apartments and do a full net rental calculation for each. We also explore topics related to summer life in Montenegro such as beach access and transit.
