2.    You Should Evaluate Potential Properties. It is basic that you should compare the various prices, location and characteristics of your potential purchases to make a sound decision. Make sure you compare and consider all your options for investments. Avoid being easily convinced by hungry realtors. The features of the properties should be according to your needs and wants. Contrast areas against each other and figure out which would make the best investment. Have at least four options to choose from.

3.    Assess Pre-Construction Condominiums: Scams and shady deals can be predicted when there is a huge hype on anything including real estate. There are a lot of publicized deals and offers so be wary of these suspicious deals. Check the possible advantages you might get in pre-constructed buildings compared to pre-built houses or apartments. Whatever decision you make in the end, caution and attention to details will always save you from being cheated into a bad purchase.

4.    Visit the Property: This doesn’t mean you drop by once before closing the deal. Visit on different times of the year to see how it is during the various seasons and times of day as well. There are plenty of considerations to make when you decide to buy a property, among them are the weather, flow of traffic, proximity to service centers and others. Make sure you frequently visit the area before jumping into major decisions.

5.    Obtain Title Insurance: There are already reputable insurance companies in Panama. They have slightly higher rates compared to the ones in the United States because the industry is quite young in Panama. However, if you plan to invest a good deal of money, it is recommended that you spend just a little more for title insurance.

6.    Exercise Caution with ROP Properties: Panama citizens may have less trouble with Right of Possession (ROP) properties but unless you are an expert in Panama real estate issues, it is best that you either avoid or be careful about these properties. ROP lands take a long time to be titled with a lot of connections needed. This will not be the best idea when it is your first time to invest in Panama real estate. It is better that you opt for less complicated properties especially when you want to be sure about the lot or condominium you are buying.

7.    Research Your Potential Location: Decide early on which region you want to buy from. It helps to visit or take a drive to check out the best places. Don’t be swayed into buying what others, including your agent, want you to buy. Some areas may be more expensive than others but you may find ones that are not yet developed, such as those that the real estate industry hasn’t reached.

8.    Do Not Be Fooled By False Advertising: Don’t be convinced by property characteristics as placed on paper. You must consider the locations accessibility, history and other features. Also check out places that are not as well promoted as others. You might just find a region with a lot of investment potential if you follow your instincts rather than relying on others and statistics.

9.    Be Wary of Flashy Bank Offers: You might get excited with the many bank offers and mortgage loans but these may not be all that they claim to be. For one, you may not even be qualified for the opportunities they advertise about. Be sure you will be able to finance the mortgage and don’t relax when you think you’ve found a bank offering up to the tremendous amount of 70% for your estate.

10.    Build a Network: Connections are very important in Panama as with anywhere else. Find people who are experienced in the country’s goings on in real estate. Connections as these will save you a lot of trouble when it comes to filing for business permits and licenses. When purchasing lots and apartments as well as building them, you might get into a few hurdles that can only be solved by good contacts and even some cash. It would be helpful if you know the right people.
