Hi Matt, I have family in that area & we always get a rental house when we go to the beach.

Anyone have short term rentals in Grenada?

Once you invest in rentals, you can also wipe out your income form wholesaling to pay 0 taxes. $80K-$90K ready to invest and your two years of wholesaling experience, you’re in a great spot to start building your real estate portfolio.

I’ve read a number of posts online saying mortgages are possible as a US citizen in Panama.However, I visited some realtors in Bocas Del Toro and they said mortgages aren’t possible there or for foreigners.

If STRs prove difficult, platforms like **Furnished Finder** or mid-term rentals might be better options for steady income.

I house hacked my way into my first rental property this past year and now manage the rental myself.

Long term rental comps on average, when you pencil it out, will be at a loss in the $100-500 range in my experience.

I am particularly interested in sharing know-how's on residential real estate, rental laws, book keeping practice, and property management best practices.
