With 300 days of sunshine a year, stunning beaches, and world-class golf, Portugal’s Algarve attracts millions of tourists each year. It’s in the south of the country facing the Atlantic, although it boasts a Mediterranean climate.
A decade ago you’d struggle to convince most real estate investors to invest in Portugal, at least outside of the Algarve. There were many good reasons for this, among which were rent controls.

It’s a pure income play and not without its pitfalls. But I’m here in Italy to figure it out. Hello from the city of Verona…
You’ll find wooden boardwalks for long strolls through the dunes and nature preserves. There are miles of cycle paths, popular for rollerblading too.

It’s been a few hours since the doors opened to our deal steps from the beach in Playa Caracol. The phones have not stopped ringing. The sales team has been flat to the mat trying to get back to every RETA member who called and couldn’t get through.
In three hours, our brand-new deal in Playa Caracol on Panama’s Pacific Riviera is open. I can’t emphasize enough just how big of a deal it is to come across true beachfront luxury homes so close to a global hub like Panama City at this price…
