Do the math:1 - If you keep it as a rental, how long would it take for the CF to equal the profit if you sold it now?

Would never allow anyone to move into a home without applying and be formally added as occupants to the lease, hopefully the lease also holds all occupants/tenants equally and severally liable for the lease. 

Overall, Panama is a great place to invest, but not all investments are equal.

Our lease also clearly states that every occupant must be listed on the lease and they are all equally and severally liable so that if 1 of the 3 doesn't pay rent, or just abruptly moves out, the other 2 are still fully responsible for all terms of the lease. 

However, rates have already fallen recently to a 15-week low.A 30-year fixed rate mortgage is sitting around 6.56% interest:All else being equal, lower mortgage rates reduce the cost of ownership and, thereby, allow more people to afford to buy.

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.
