			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are planning to get a property in Panama, here are some real estate buying tips which may come useful:</p>
<h3>No need to hurry</h3>
<p><a href="http://panamarealtygroup.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/real-estate-montreal.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-29" title="real-estate-montreal" src="http://panamarealtygroup.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/real-estate-montreal-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Panama&#8217;s real estate scene is a buyers&#8217; market ad there are no bidding wars like what you will see in the United States. Check out as much properties as you can before deciding what you want to purchase. If you are looking for properties on an island or in the rural areas, check the property out during the rainy seasons to know if the area is swamped. You can rent for while to know the area well and see what best suits your needs.</p>
<h3>Titled vs ROP</h3>
<p>When you have the title to the property, this means that you own the piece of real estate while ROP or Right of Possession gives you right to occupy the land. You really do not own the land with an ROP and you cannot use it as collateral for a loan or tag it as an investment so you will qualify for residency visa.</p>
<h3>Squatter claims</h3>
<p>Under the laws of Panama, squatters have certain rights so you need to make sure that you can avoid such complications when you purchase a property. Make sure you inspect the property carefully to avoid squatter claims in any part of your prospect property.</p>
<h3>Real estate agents</h3>
<p>Like in any other country, there are different kinds of real estate agents. You can meet honest and very nice agents but there are also of the opposite kind. Take note though that real estate agents in Panama follow a different kind of rule book if you are from another country. Make sure that you understand every part of the deal you are signing for.</p>
<h3>Real estate lawyer</h3>
<p>Before signing or closing any contract for a real estate in Panama, make sure you consult a lawyer who can review everything and advice you if you need to be careful about the transaction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Panama is a good place for US citizens to invest in real estate, have a retired life or to do business. Panama’s Residency Laws, Investment Laws and Real Estate Laws are very friendly towards foreign citizens.</p>
<p><a href="http://panamarealtygroup.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/panama-map.gif"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-18 alignright" title="panama map" src="http://panamarealtygroup.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/panama-map-150x150.gif" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>To buy a new house and moving there it is necessary to obtain the services of a good attorney and a reliable estate agent. Houses and plots in Panama City are much cheaper than those in any major US or European city. It is better to visit the place and see for yourself the place you propose to buy. The reliability of the estate agent must be confirmed by independent sources especially when you are not familiar with the place. Remember there are fly-by-night estate agents also. If you can get a good attorney he will take of the inspection of title deed, transfer of money, documentation and registration of transfer of property and all the legal needs.</p>
<p><span id="more-17"></span>Foreigners are allowed to buy land in Panama. Foreign citizens are not permitted to buy property within ten miles from the border area. Always look for a titled property and not property with rights of possession only.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://panamarealtygroup.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/boquete-panama.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-14 alignright" title="Boquete Panama" src="http://panamarealtygroup.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/boquete-panama-300x225.jpg" alt="Boquete Panama" width="300" height="225" /></a>Wondering where Boquete is? Nice try, it’s the not so small and not so big town in the western highlands of the Republic of Panama where the grandeur and splendor of Panama can be experienced first hand. At a height of about 1,000 meters above sea level, the climate you see here is pretty cooler than the much warmer parts of the country.</p>
<p>The best part, thanks to its natural environment you can live in harmony with nature. Boquete being the natural choice of many retirees from North America not only has a climate that will make you fall in love with the place but it also has a cost of living that is quiet affordable.</p>
<p><span id="more-13"></span>If you wanted to live in an eco friendly city, this is your place. If you have always wanted to run away from the pollution and crowded cities and live a life of peace where you can hear the birds chirp and the brooks flow and the rustle of the leaves in the wind, you have got to relocate yourself here.</p>
<p>At Boquete you can taste the smell of fresh air and not only that, you get to see more of God’s handy work in the meadows and trees and much less of man’s handy work in buildings and houses. So remember if you aren’t in Boquete, you aren’t in nature.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Panama is a good place for US citizens to invest in real estate, have a retired life or to do business. Panama’s Residency Laws, Investment Laws and Real Estate Laws are very friendly towards foreigners.</p>
