A Tale of Two Low-Cost
Retirement Towns - Corozal
in Belize and Boquete in Panama - With
millions of Americans and Canadian baby boomers just a bank CD or two away
from retirement, the race to find low-cost retirement destinations is off
and running. That’s particularly true in Mexico and Central America,
where many prospective expat gringos see the potential of stretching their
dollars and living better for less than is possible back home, yet being
within two to four hours by jet from their old home towns. By Lan Sluder |

Estate in Bali – A Truly Magical Island Bali’s indigenous
population of just over 3 million welcomes around 1.5 million foreign tourists
(figures for 2004). There are almost 40,000 foreigners living or working
in Bali who are extremely happy and satisfied with their decision to be
on this magical Island. Some have learned it the hard way while others
made sure they were well informed about the location before any commitment
was made. By Henk S Blom |

an area of spectacular beauty. Beautiful sheltered sandy coves, backed

Investing in Real
Estate in Bulgaria ~ Investing
in Real Estate in Bulgaria
Where is it possible to buy a property
on your credit card? Bulgaria, of course! With thousands of potential
property buyers seduced by Bulgaria’s bargain property prices, the temptation
is to think that making a solid return is a no-brainer! Searching
the Internet, dozens of articles and property websites boast about the
100% capital growth that can be achieved on Bulgarian property investments
in the space of 12 months. By Tracey Meagher |

Unique Real Estate
- Converted Railway Stations ~ Unique
Real Estate - Converted Railway Stations When Elizabeth
and Colin Olford bought a disused station in 1984 it was being used as
a training centre for truck drivers but the couple immediately saw its
potential and outbid a crowded auction room to win the right to convert
it into a unique home. The job took almost two years but Old Droxford Station
House, complete with the station platform and canopy and two acres of lovely
wooded grounds is now a quirky and unusual family home. By Michael O'Flynn |

Retirement
in Malaysia - Retirement
in Malaysia ~ As
long as you are comfortable in the heat, the lifestyle of expatriate retirees
in Malaysia is an enviable one. With temperatures ranging from 32°C
during the day to 22°C at night, Malaysia is a tropical paradise of
friendly people, wonderful food, beautiful beaches, cool hill stations,
historic towns, a dynamic capital and the world's oldest rainforests. The
ticket to this lush retirement paradise is Malaysia’s MM2H scheme which
allows retirees with sufficient, but modest, funds to take up residence.

Real Estate in the
Czech Republic - Real
Estate in the Czech Republic ~ No matter
what part of the globe you call home, making the decision to invest in
property can be a challenging, albeit exciting process. Prague is all the
more enticing when a slice of history begins at only 50,000 GBP for a romantic
apartment in the centre of town. But for foreigners interested in purchasing
real estate outside of their own country, the road to home or business
ownership can be a bit more difficult to travel. |

Estate in New Zealand ~ As a property investor, you like most are
probably looking for excellent value today as well as solid projected medium
to long term growth. It is clear that New Zealand
and Aukland in particular is set for some major population growth.
Add to this its healthy economy, desirable lifestyle, lack of land in the
Auckland region and currently low property prices, relative to other major
cities in the region and you have a location that should continue to see
some excellent capital returns for property investors. By John Faulkner |

- The Euro Tax Haven Threat ~ Real
Estate in Andorra - The Euro Tax Haven Threat ~ Media reporting
of a new EU savings tax directive has left many people wondering whether
European tax havens could soon become obselete. The July directive requires
banks throughout Europe, including low and no tax areas such as Gibraltar,
Monaco, Malta and Andorra, to disclose bank account owner information to
their home country’s tax authority. But has some of the reporting has been
less than accurate? By Roger Munns |

Real Estate in Nice,
France - Real
Estate in Nice, France ~ The
French Riviera has gone through countless transformations over the last
150 years following the discovery of its charms by the British aristocracy
and then later the American beaux monde in the 1920’s and 30’s. In the
last 10 years the most famous stretch of beach in the world (from St.Tropez
to Menton on the Italian border) has been through a significant renaissance
and has once again become the destination of choice for many wealthy Europeans
and Americans. By Dennis Broadfield |

Real
Estate in Australia - Real
Estate in Australia ~ A somewhat polarised option for consideration
as your new destiny. Being a long way from other major population centres,
you may feel isolated from, say, European destinations and the expedient
of being able to travel to another country and culture in short time frames.
However, there are extenuating factors! Physically about the same time
as the USA, Australia offers a wide range of climates and topographies,
so think more "continent" than "country." By
Gary Kurzer |

Creative Stock Scams
- Creative
Stock Scams ~ Stock scams have been around since, well, probably
about five minutes after the invention of stocks. Over the years, their
variety has been limited only by the collective ingenuity of the scammers.
The internet has made the scammers job easier so beware, the old saw -
if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is - is as applicable as
ever. From Doug Casey's What We Now Know |

investment has provided many investors with positive cash flow, tax benefits
and satisfaction of making an impact in others lives. Like any investment

‘Freest Place in the World’
How Hong Kong Can Help You Unlock China’s Treasure Chest You
may have seen the film National Treasure, in which Nicolas Cage has to

key. Finding the correct keys to access China’s treasures is no easy
task. The good news is that Hong Kong is not only the gateway to China,
it holds the golden key to China’s many treasure chests. By

Trading
Currencies - Trading
Currencies ~ Exchanging your funds into foreign currency at the
wrong exchange rate can have an immense effect on your wealth. But how
do you make sure you are getting the best from the exchange rate movements?
What really counts is market sentiment; an amorphous barely definable factor
that changes the minds of traders about whether they should buy or sell
currencies and, what’s most alarming is that market sentiment can change
direction quicker than a spooked rabbit. By Sophie Stride |

have to be a professional writer to submit a report that provides important
information - - information that you yourself have learned by having been
there and done it. That is exactly what our readers are seeking, facts
about living overseas from people who've done it, facts about buying a
barge and sailing down the Danube, what it takes to migrate to Argentina,
how to open a business in Prague, buy an island in Belize, get a job in
Paris, start a farm in Mozambique, run an internet business out of the
Dominican Republic, run a rent-a-scooter shop in Mauritius. .
