World Markets Are Spinning Out of Control
Creating Serious Opportunity

If you know what you're doing -- and where to do it -- this could be the best chance in your lifetime to grow your wealth...

Dear Live and Invest Overseas Reader,

This is the best time in at least 10 years to be a buyer.

After in some cases decade-long runs into the stratosphere, property markets worldwide have collapsed. Prices some places have fallen by half and more.

My name is Lief Simon. I've been scouting global property markets for more than 16 years. The opportunities for making money in international real estate are greater right now than I've ever seen them.

But most investors are too scared to act. They don't know whatto do, where to look, even how to start. A little fear is a healthy thing, for the days when you could buy almost anything and make money are over. In today's climate, you need to be more focused and more careful.

But you also need to act.

Over two-and-a-half days in Panama City, Oct. 15-17, I'm going to show you where, when, and how.

The smart and experienced money is moving into international real estate. Join it.

• A sun-drenched beach resort area in South America where developers are scrambling to meet demand for tourist accommodation. The economy here is still growing, despite the global recession, and the government is pumping millions of dollars into infrastructure to meet the continued expansion of both national and international tourism to the region. Developers are hungry for cash flow -- so hungry, they'll let you in for as little as no money down...at a price that makes the investment nearly irresistible...

• A particular opportunity to profit from the wave of Baby Boomers seeking affordable retirement and a better quality of life abroad. Never has there been such a large, active, and adventurous generation of retirees -- with so little saved for retirement. The foreign retirement trend has already started; I predict that the economic crisis will turn it into a tidal wave. Your investment in this trend now could give you a 10-fold return, in quarterly dividends starting immediately. I know a regional development company specializing in building Latin American retirement communities with the quality, standards, and amenities expected by North Americans. I will introduce you to them at the Global Real Estate Profits Summit in October...

• One of my own current projects in the next-to-be-developed area of Panama. On a perfect stretch of virtually undiscovered sunset beach, we're building a world-class residential community with full amenities, including a colonial-style town center and a resort hotel. This investment opportunity has a projected ROI of 26% annualized over 10 years. Panama boasts a strong and stable economy. Growth continues regardless of world economic woes, tourism is thriving, and North Americans and Europeans continue to flock here to retire and start new lives. I'll give you all the details when I see you in October...
   
• A turn-key money-maker in arguably the most sophisticated city in Latin America. In a trendy neighborhood sought out by Hollywood moviemakers and tourists from North America and Europe, you could earn a reliable yield of as much as 18.2% per year, participating in this new 5-star rental investment opportunity. Plus, you have use each year for your own luxury vacations (which could be tax-deductible, as you're visiting your own income-generating property)...
   
• Distress sales in one of Europe's most popular beach resort areas, where families from all over Europe continue to vie for vacation rentals every year. You can buy here right now at discounts of up to 22% or more ... with financial incentives including cash back and no money down. Turnkey, furnished, and ready-to-rent in one of the world's most proven markets...
   
• A vineyard investment in the "new Napa," the South American wine-producing area with the lifestyle, views, and excellent wines to rival California -- at a fraction of the price. Build your dream home and live in it now or rent it out for cash flow until you're ready to use it yourself. The vineyard is professionally developed and managed, meaning you get a share of the profits, the chance to enjoy an enviable lifestyle among the vines, even the option of having the vintner produce your own private-labeled vintage...all without ever getting your hands dirty if you don't want to. Projected returns are 15.2% a year...

These are the kinds of opportunities available now...if you know where to look...how to evaluate, vet, and judge...where to turn for advice you can trust...and what it takes to buy safely in a foreign, unregulated market. Because it's real. Currencies, at least those not backed by gold or silver, are a concept. Stocks are unpredictable, because the value of the company that issues them depends not only on who is running it and how well, and future demand for its products, but on the rest of the world economy, as well. Stocks, bonds, and paper currencies can all be reduced to nothing more than that -- pieces of paper. They operate out of your control, and their value can fall to zero.

Real estate, on the other hand, is a hard asset. Like every other investment type, its value rises and falls, depending on demand. The difference is that, when the real estate market falls, you can just sit back and hold on. You've still got your asset. You can have personal use of it...you can even reinvent it to create new perceived value.

More than that, buy smart, and you can feel confident in your asset's value long term. Certain kinds of real estate have more intrinsic value than others. People with the budget and the inclination to seek out more than basic housing look for particular kinds of added value.

Specifically, for example, people want waterfront, especially beachfront property. It sells for more than non-beachfront property, its value appreciates at a greater rate, and it holds its value longer, even during down-cycles, than other real estate investments

The second winning strategy right now is income-producing property in areas with proven track records of desirability. No place is recession-proof, but some come pretty darn close. Some places--like Paris, for example--continue to see great volumes of tourists regardless of global economic cycles. A yield-producing position in a market like this can carry you through ups and downs, producing consistent cash returns.

The third strategy for global real estate investing success is to place yourself in the "path of progress." Identify trends of development, demographics, or infrastructure and buy in early on to an investment set to take advantage of them. The current burgeoning migration of Baby Boomers from the States to more affordable retirement locales is a mega example. At my Global Real Estate Profits Summit in October, I'll show you specifically how to position yourself to profit from this history-making trend both short- and long-term.

The fourth global real estate investing strategy I like is land, specifically productive land that produces a commodity with a proven demand. One of my favorites is hardwood timber, specifically teak. The world's supply of native teak forest is diminishing rapidly, and, as one of the most durable hardwoods, demand for teak is consistently strong. Teak production, therefore, is a reliable investment that has long out-performed the stock market. In October, I will introduce you to an investment that has produced reliable returns for more than 16 years. This is the top opportunity on offer right now to position yourself for long-term yields from one of the world's hardest assets.
  Over the past year and longer, the global economy has been a roller-coaster. Overall, it's been a downward slide, even a free-fall in some markets, and we haven't yet reached bottom.

But not all countries have been affected equally. And not all sectors of every economy are down. Latin America, for instance, has been less affected by the downturn than North America and Europe, and some economies in this part of the world continue to expand. At the same time, real estate values have fallen and are now, in many places, a great bargain.

The trick is to know what to buy, where, specifically, to look for it, and who you can trust to help you find the best deals with the greatest prospects for long-term gain, both in terms of capital appreciation and cash-flowing yields. It's a buyer's market right now -- and not only in Miami and Detroit. You've heard the stories, I'm sure, about tremendous housing bargains in the U.S. and Europe, where tapped-out buyers are abandoning their mortgages and their homes, leaving banks holding portfolios packed with properties they don't want and can't sell. Some of them are offering houses by the dozens at prices from the 1950s and '60s, just to recoup some of their losses.

But what's the future for a house in Detroit? Even Miami, with the intrinsic value of its beachfront, will take years, if not decades, to recover from its current depressed position.

The better options are places that people like you are just beginning to discover, places that right now hold out the potential for affordable retirement living and holiday homes...places with natural beauty, friendly neighbors, and safe streets...places that will continue to attract attention, new residents, and holiday-makers for generations to come.

What's the secret to discovering the best opportunities for where to put your money in the world's most promising real estate markets? I've been traveling the world for more than 16 years, building up a portfolio that's earned me up to 1,071% in total returns on a single deal. At the same time, I've built an incomparable Rolodex of international contacts.

I can't tell you how many thousands...in fact, hundreds of thousands of dollars I've spent on plane tickets, hotel rooms, meals, car rentals, local scout fees, attorney consultations, accountant reviews and filings, and so much more, exploring up-and-coming real estate markets in parts of the world that, in some cases, still haven't made it onto the radar of mainstream investors.

I've driven off-road and hiked undeveloped beaches from Uruguay to Thailand...from Panama to Vietnam. I've spoken in person with experts on every continent. Back at my laptop, I've run the numbers and considered the exit strategies. (I'm an accountant by training.)

In the process of all this, I've become an expert myself. I see the big picture, the broad spectrum of possibilities, from Latin America to Europe and Asia.

You could do this, too. You could spend years of your own time and hundreds of thousands of your own dollars to create your own global real estate portfolio...or you could take a crash-course with me and the experts I consult myself.
 
I wouldn't suggest you invest your hard-earned money based on my recommendations alone.

I don't, so why should you? I start with my best analysis, and then I travel to every country I'm interested in to do the on-the-ground research that's absolutely essential in real estate investing.

In every country I visit, whether it's the Dominican Republic, Uruguay, or Australia, I seek out local experts -- people who make their money in that property market and who know from real-world, firsthand experience about the current market conditions--things like planned infrastructure improvements, currency risks, foreign ownership restrictions, taxes, and pending legislation with implications for the foreign investor...

Only after I've spent months researching, traveling, seeing the opportunities for myself, and meeting with people whom I trust to connect me to the local property market as a local...only then do I invest.

And only then would I recommend any investment to you.

But, again, I don't stop there... This October, I'm convening my Third Annual Global Real Estate Profits Summit. My team and I are meeting in Panama -- the country I've chosen as my home, not only because it's a beautiful and affordable place to live, but also because it's one of the most interesting real estate investment markets on the planet right now.

I've invited a long A-list of international real estate investing experts and professionals to join me over the two-and-a-half-days of my Summit mid-October to help me present at least 10 real estate offers that I've already visited, vetted, and personally investigated.

If you're new to global property investing, this is your chance to learn all the how-to's of international real estate legalities, purchase processes, foreign ownership rights and restrictions, fees and taxes, title insurance, and other nuts-and-bolts information that you absolutely must know before you sign your first contract or plunk down payment.

You'll get investment advice timed for 2009, including full details of three real estate investment strategies for conserving wealth and making sustainable profits in the current economy.

If you're a seasoned investor, then you already know the value of this Summit to you: It's priceless. If you had the time and the inclination to spend months flying around the world and the money to invest in scouting, identifying, and vetting your own portfolio of top-rated opportunities...you probably would have done so already.

But smart investors know how much their own time is worth. You understand the value of paying someone who already has the expertise, the contacts, and the judgment to do the research, the travel, and the due diligence on key real estate opportunities worldwide for you. I convene this panel of experts and compile this portfolio of recommended offers but once a year. The contacts, colleagues, and friends who have agreed to join me in Panama in October are busy people, and, frankly, it's not easy to get on their calendars. I appreciate that they're making time for this special event. It's a one-of-a-kind opportunity to meet in person with an advisory team of this caliber. As an attendee, you'll have access to my best personal contacts and resources, not only during the formal presentations each day, but informally, as well...over drinks and over lunch, poolside and one-on-one.

These are the contacts I've spent years cultivating. The ones I know well enough to call friends and to invite to Panama for a blow-out event that will help us all attain even more success.

You, first and foremost, because we've designed the Global Real Estate Profits Summit to provide you not only how-to information and specific investment offers, but also the private introductions to the expert advisors you need to follow through.

The speakers benefit, as well. They look forward to the networking opportunities when we all gather in one place for a few days of shop-talk, swapping recent scouting stories and discoveries over drinks at the bar after-hours.

And I benefit. I learn something new every time I get all these great minds and their accumulated years of experience together. Updates on changes in property or immigration laws that affect foreign investment...insights into economic changes that are creating new demand in particular localized markets...tips on planned infrastructure improvements...creative strategies for overcoming legal or purchasing road blocks...

These guys not only know what they're doing...they also love what they do. And they're the best at it that you'll find anywhere. This invitation to spend two-and-a-half-days together with them is an invaluable opportunity to expand your network of global contacts, your investment portfolio, and, bottom line, your wealth.

First, please allow me to introduce myself formally. My name is Lief Simon. I've been investing in global real estate for more than 16 years. For more than five years, I was editor of International Living's Global Real Estate Investor, a specialized investment service to help individuals (like you) find little-known--and potentially highly lucrative--international property opportunities. Today, I have an exclusive offshore investment consulting practice with a select group of private clients.

I have lived and worked on five continents. I earned a Master's Degree in International Management. I've worked for a CPA firm. Served as an executive of an international oil company...and then as the chief financial officer for a hospitality design and consulting firm that renovated hotels in prime locations worldwide.

I've traveled to and done business in more than 50 countries. I've bought and sold real estate in 18.

Everywhere I've gone and in everything I've done, I've helped people realize their dreams of profiting from international real estate. Now, if you'll let me, I'd like to try to do the same for you.

Tracking down great deals in little-known and misunderstood markets is my passion. And not just for myself. I count some of the world's savviest investors among my clients. They trust me...because they know how many kilometers I've clocked worldwide. They know how many beaches I've walked...how many hills I've hiked. They know how many kidney-shattering dirt roads I've traveled...in search of the best, earliest-in deals.

They also know that, at heart, I'm still an accountant. My wife puts it less flatteringly. She calls me compulsive.

Maybe. The point is: What matters to me is the bottom line.
 
After more than a dozen years at this, I've built up something of a track record:

• Santa Rosa, Nicaragua: 50% in just 2 weeks...
   
• Rancho Santana: Nicaragua: 450% in 5 years...
   
• Costa del Sol, Spain: 30% annualized over 2 years...
   
• Buenos Aires, Argentina: 35% in just 1 year...
   
  
• Costa Maya, Mexico: 200% in 2 years...
   
• Chicago, Illinois: 1,070% in 2 ½ years...
   
• Nova Scotia, Canada: 150% in just 1 year...
   
• Panama City, Panama: 300% in 3 years...
   
• Queensland, Australia: 38% annualized over 16 months...
   
• Santa Cruz Island, Ecuador: 100% appreciation in 2 years...
   
• Bucharest, Romania: 80% in 18 months...
   
• Waterford, Ireland: 750% returns over 5 years...

OK...enough about what I've done.

Let's talk about what I'm going to do...for you.

At my Third Annual Global Real Estate Profits Summit, I'll present you with at least 10 international real estate investment opportunities I can recommend -- already researched, vetted, and ready for your inspection.  I'll have the principals and the developers on hand, in the room, in each case, to answer your questions, so you can get all the details you need to make your decisions. But this is more than just your opportunity to leverage the sweetest fruits of my global scouting efforts. It's also your chance to spend 2 ½ days with the 12 most successful global real estate investing pros I know. STEVE ROSBERG
Argentina

Steve Rosberg has held top management functions in banks in Argentina, the Cayman Islands, and Ecuador and has acted as an international financial consultant for individuals and corporations around the world. Steve's extensive direct international experience in financial systemic crises, country default situations, and inflationary environments has taught him the value of real producing assets as the safest and most reliable strategy for achieving long-term capital growth.

Today, Steve's investment management company does business in Argentina and Uruguay, investing in forestry; vineyard development, management, and sales; and construction and real estate.

Steve's investment strategy is to structure a portfolio to:

• Grow, even if there is recession (the trees keep growing, the vineyards, too)...
   
• Maintain value, even if there is high inflation (timberland, vineyard, hotel, all of Steve's investment plays are real, appreciating assets that will not only protect the real value of your initial investment from inflation's erosion, but also generate cash flows that will also increase in this scenario)...
   
• Generate ongoing revenue, originating in the sustainable production of real assets...
   
• Do all this in environmentally responsible ways, and...
   
• Allow you to enjoy your investment...

At my Global Real Estate Profits Summit in October, Steve will detail two particular current opportunities for you to achieve all these goals.

One is a vineyard, winery, and residential community in the "new Napa," the Mendoza wine-producing region of Argentina. The property offers unique potential for vineyard production, tourism, and recreation, because of its exceptional soil, breathtaking views, and proximity to the city of Mendoza.

Tourists are drawn to this region for its world-class wineries, art galleries, restaurants, golf and polo, luxury hotels, and, of course, its great natural beauty. Well-known vintners who have already invested in this valley include Rothschild, Dassault, Léoville-Poyferré, Lurton, Moët & Chandon, Michel Rolland, Codorniu, O. Fournier, and Salentein.

In October, Steve will detail a current chance to participate in an investment in this region promising yields of 15.2% per year.

The second opportunity Steve is bringing to the table is a fully turnkey yield buy projecting a minimum return of up to 18.2% per year, with a kicker that could provide an additional 4% per year, bringing your annual yield to more than 22%.


DAVID JAMES
Uruguay

David James is a developer with 15 years experience in Latin America. David sailed from Texas to Guatemala in 1991 and never looked back. In the nearly 20 years since, he has lived in Ecuador, Brazil, Mexico, and Japan, and currently lives and works in Uruguay.

David is bringing two outstanding opportunities for investment to the table in Panama this October, both part of his current development activity along Uruguay's Gold Coast. The location is unsurpassed, the amenities first-class, and the quality of development top flight. David's project, five minutes from the beach, boasts stunning ocean views and a picturesque beach town nearby with quaint cafes and a first-class marina. International airports, tourist amenities, and cosmopolitan Montevideo are all within easy reach.

David's first offer is an opportunity to participate with the developer in South America's only gated community and ocean-view resort to combine Western comfort, Latin warmth, and thousands of years of Eastern wisdom into a harmonious environment to assure wellness of mind, body, and spirit. Based on the success of lot sales, David has secured an option to purchase additional property and is seeking additional investment to expand the project. Your investment is projected to yield an annualized return of 30.39%.

David will also be offering bulk-lot packages to those in the room for this private event at discounts of up to 57% off the retail value of individual lots. That leaves you plenty of upside for resale...even more if you build homes and sell them. You could also, of course, keep one for your own use...


LUIS DE SILVA
Portugal

Luis is an internationally respected investor and developer who speaks five languages and has run businesses on five continents. Originally from Portugal, Luis has lived in 10 countries and is personally involved right now in property investments in South Africa, Brazil, the United States, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. 

After an eight-year career with Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) in South Africa and Portugal, Luis joined Plaut, a German management consulting company, where he became the youngest board member at age 29. Luis was responsible for the company's Latin American operations, the fastest-growing division of the group, with 250 employees generating slightly more 10% of the group's annual revenues of €250 million.

In 2003, after 16 years in management consulting, Luis decided to dedicate himself full-time to his property interests and is currently an equity partner in several real estate projects across the globe. As founder and principal of the Illumina management consultancy firm.
Luis will be unveiling a special offer for Global Real Estate Profits Summit participants only. I cannot release details here now, but based on negotiations to date and the track record of deeply discounted offers Luis has brought to the table in the past, we can predict:

• Distress sale discounts of 15%, 22%, and more...
• Deluxe units in residential developments in one of Europe's most popular beach resort regions...
• Financial incentives such as cash-back or no-money-down...
• Turnkey properties ready for rental or occupancy...

Luis has a strong track record. I'm eager to hear final details of what he'll offer during my Summit -- and you should be, too.
 
MICHAEL COBB
Belize

After enjoying a successful career in the computer industry, Mike Cobb decided to pursue more pioneering opportunities in the emerging real estate markets of Central America. In 1996, Mike and his business partner formed Exotic Caye International to provide loans to North Americans purchasing real estate in Belize, Honduras, and throughout the region. As the need for capital outstripped the supply, the mortgage company was converted to an international bank under the jurisdiction of Belize. It continues to provide mortgage services but has expanded its services to encompass a full realm of financial products. 

After establishing the bank, Mike and his partner moved into real estate development, including, to start, a resort on Ambergris Caye, Belize. Then, in August 2000, they purchased 3.5 miles of Pacific beachfront property due west of Managua, Nicaragua. This master-planned community boasts world-class infrastructure, private homes, and condominium units designed specifically for the foreign retiree market. 

In February 2006, the ECI Development group Mike and his partner had formed acquired 1,100 acres and 3 kilometers of coastline in Costa Rica, setting the stage for expansion into this popular market. Most recently they merged their Belize property with a much larger parcel and have begun to develop 200 units on Ambergris Caye. 

Mike has spoken at more than 100 international conferences about real estate financing and development. He has acted as a consultant to the Oxford Club and gives counsel to various real estate projects throughout Central America.

At my Global Real Estate Profits Summit, Mike will tell you about an opportunity to earn at least 10 times your original investment or more, over the next 10 to 15 years, by investing in a regional developer of high-quality, master-planned retirement communities.

Right now, as you know, a tidal wave of Baby Boomers is facing retirement. Hard hit by the current recession, they're looking for affordable options without sacrificing lifestyle. Latin America is their closest, most affordable option -- but few developers in Latin America can provide the quality of product, services, and community life that North American retirees want.

Like the super-successful Sun City model in the U.S., this development plan has a clearly defined target market, allows for a variety of quality products designed to meet all tastes, and is perfectly attuned to current market conditions. ROI is immediate and ongoing; the company has already paid more than 15 quarterly dividend payments.


ROBERT KROESEN
Panama

Robert G. Kroesen is a Panamanian of Dutch origin. After many years in the United States as a marketing consultant, Robert returned to Panama full-time. Today, he directs one of the largest reforestation projects in the country. Together with some of the most important legal firms and consultants from around the world, Robert advises individuals on how to take advantage of timber reforestation opportunities both for investment and as a means of obtaining full-time residency in Panama.

Panama is being rediscovered for its enormous profit potential from growing teak trees. Teak growth is limited to countries that are located between 20 degrees north and south of the equator, and Panama is one of the few countries in the world where teak thrives. The market for this durable hardwood is high, and the supply shrinking.

Timber boasts one of the best return/risk ratios of any kind of investment you could name. Historically, an investment in timber would have brought you a greater return relative to the associated risks than any other investment, period.

Nothing could be simpler, or more reliable, than an investment in timber. Buy land, plant trees on it, harvest them. You get a cash return from the trees...and you continue to own the land. Annualized cash returns can be as high as 15% if you invest with a timber management company. And once you make the buy...your work is done. In Panama mid-October, Robert will show you how.


MICHAEL WILLIAMS
Dominican Republic

Michael Williams is a co-founder of Rogue Investor, LLC, a company that provides real estate education and training, primarily in tax sales and foreclosures. Its best-selling product, Rogue Real Estate Investor Collection, is now in its seventh edition.

In 2006, after intense research into ocean property investment options around the world, the business expanded with real estate investments on the north coast of the Dominican Republic and along the Mediterranean coast in the south of France.

Michael is a geologist by trade, so he takes a scientific view of real estate. Using 10 criteria for evaluating the best ocean-front land for development, he and his partner selected the Dominican Republic and in particular Ocean Star Estates, a 77-acre residential community near Puerto Plata.

Michael will join us in October to discuss how you can get in on the incredible business and real estate opportunities in the Dominican Republic.


PHILIP HAHN
Belize

Philip Hahn is an international development consultant and real estate developer in Belize. Phil has been designing, building, and developing real estate for more than 20 years, and his firm, Nautilus Design Group, Inc., has been responsible for the design and construction documents of more than 6,000 homes in the Southeastern U.S.

Phil saw the potential for development in Belize in 2003, when he purchased the property for Orchid Bay, a 115-acre New Urbanism community on the country's northeast shore. At Orchid Bay, Phil has combined his experience with quality coastal home design with his love of classic architecture to create an evocative new Caribbean town. As witnessed in his development at Orchid Bay, Phil is committed to preserving the environment and the culture of this unique region. Phil's talents extend beyond those of a developer or designer; his passion and respect for people, history, and lifestyle inspire him to create beautiful and enduring homes and communities.

Phil will be premiering his next project at my Global Real Estate Profits Summit in Panama. You'll be among the first to get a look at plans for his new planned community when Phil presents Phase I investment opportunities. This will be the first investor chance to see plans for Phil's ground-breaking development and a pre-release opportunity to take a position at pre-development prices.
 
ANTHONY ARCHER
Brazil

In the property and investment industry for more than 11 years, Anthony Archer has held several key management positions, including Head of Sales and Marketing for a successful international real estate company, Senior Investment Portfolio Manager for a large property investment group, and Branch Manager for central London real estate offices.

Well versed in real estate investment strategies and a successful real estate investor in his own right, Anthony calls on his extensive investment background, his long-tested skills, and his multi-lingual scouting abilities to find investments with minimal risk and maximum returns in emerging markets across the globe.

Anthony's career has taken him from his home city of London to Portugal, then Dubai, and currently the northeast coast of Brazil, where construction is booming and investment opportunities promise high yields with irresistible terms.

Like Argentina, Brazil ticks the box for every lifestyle opportunity you could possibly imagine...with beaches that are far more beautiful than those of its neighbor. And, while most of the rest of the world is fighting for survival during this economic downturn, Brazil is making more positive headlines. The economy is growing, lending is up, interest rates down.

Now, with the country preparing to host the 2014 Soccer World Cup, the most widely viewed sporting event in the world, the government is pumping US$4.5 billion into the local infrastructure around Fortaleza, already an established tourist hotspot and now a World Cup host city.

All of which makes Brazil's stunning coast -- and Fortaleza in particular -- ripe for investment. A shortage of tourist accommodation has created an explosion in new developments aimed to open in time for the World Cup, and developers are so hungry for cash flow, they're offering unheard-of deals. The current investment options are absolutely affordable and can be purchased taking advantage of some of the easiest, most appealing financing terms I've ever come across in all my years of scouting international real estate markets.

Terms such as no money down and 100 installments of 1% each.

Anthony will be bringing details of at least 3 -- perhaps more -- of the best deals he's found in the region to my Global Real Estate Profits Summit in October. These will be exclusive, in-the-room opportunities.

PLUS, during this Third Annual Global Real Estate Profits Summit, I'll present an opportunity for you to get in on the ground floor of my own current development project in the market I've identified as offering the greatest potential for return over the coming five to seven years.

When you join me at the Global Real Estate Profits Summit in October, I'll detail how you can participate directly with the developer team to reap profits of 26% a year annualized over 10 years.

The name of the game right now is reliable long-term return from real assets. Consistent yields. Productive hard assets that allow you to expand your wealth and protect it at the same time. Perhaps you're well experienced buying real estate on U.S. soil. But international real estate is a different ball game. When you move into the unregulated markets of the developing world, the burden is on you, as the investor, to protect yourself. You don't have the checks and balances or the safety nets you count on Stateside.

We won't bore you with hours of International Real Estate Investing 101 lectures, but we want to make sure you leave our meetings armed with all the information, connections, and contacts you need to be confident when you act on the opportunities we'll be bringing to the table for you.

To this end, I've invited the most experienced and savvy property investment professionals I've found in my 16 years doing this to join me so that, together, we can show you not only why it makes more sense right now than in a decade to build an international real estate investment portfolio...but also how to go about building one safely and successfully.

You'll walk away from our two-and-a-half-days in Panama City with practical, how-to guidance on how to think like an international property investor. We'll download for you decades of collective scouting and vetting experience.
 
Together, my team and I will show you...

• How to analyze the political lay of the land to make sure laws are in your favor...
   
• How to assess a country's economic structure to make sure it's on a sound footing
   
• How to evaluate an international developer so you know the project you're investing in is a viable one...
   
• How to consider the bigger picture, including roads, other existing and planned infrastructure, currency risks, political factors, and anything else that might affect your investment...

How to arrange for financing so you can leverage your investments: You'll get inside tips on where and how to finance overseas property purchases. Specifically, we'll show you how to leverage your investments in key markets. In some cases, all you need is an introduction. We'll take care of that when we meet.

How to legally defer taxes and keep more of your money: You may have heard of "Like-Kind Exchange" benefits for U.S. investment properties. However, few people realize you can use this same IRS provision when dealing with overseas properties, as well.

The bottom line is you can indefinitely defer U.S. capital gains taxes for foreign investment properties if you know how to use this strategy properly. We'll tell you everything you need to know to take full advantage of this important tax benefit.

The key thing to understand about all the information and recommendations we'll be making when we're together in Panama is this: We won't be talking theory. You won't be getting well-researched or textbook advice. When it comes to investing in overseas real estate, that kind of information is useless.

In Panama this October, my colleagues and I will be sharing hard-won, real-world, firsthand insights and discoveries. This is the real deal, straight from the trenches. Every one of us participating as part of my panel of experts is a current, active, long-experienced, and very successful international real estate investing professional. 

These are the guys I go to myself when I want to check out an opportunity...these are the people I trust, top experts in the legal, financial, tax, structure, and insurance issues you must address with investing in property abroad.

In addition, I've invited a few investor-friends, guys like me who've been doing this a long time in markets all over the world and who will share their own investment philosophies, strategies, and stories of both success and failure, profit and loss. You can learn as much from a failed investment as from a successful one...the best case, of course, is when you can fail on somebody else's account! That's what we're bringing you the chance to do. Leverage our many decades of experience at this, to learn not only where and how to buy now...but also what never to do.

Among the personal, trusted counsel introductions I'll make in October will be...

DAVID STUBBS
International Real Estate Investor
Costa Rica

David left the UK in 1984 and has being living and investing internationally for the close to two-and-a-half decades since. He has had the opportunity to visit 53 countries...and counting.

After a 25-year career in high technology, during which time he lived in the UK, France, Singapore, Hong Kong, and California, David retired three years ago to Costa Rica.

David stopped working so he could spend more time with his wife and two teenaged children, as well as his favorite hobby--real estate. In the 30 years since his first purchase, David has made more than 50 real estate investments in 9 countries across 5 continents.

From his global viewpoint, David has learned a lot about market cycles. He knows that it is good to be cautious. He has seen the signs of bubble before and has managed to sell before the top in each case. He has also ridden the waves of rising prices by being in some of the right markets at the right time--Hong Kong, 1986 to 1995; the UK, 1995 to 2006; and California, 1996 to 2004, for example.

Most recently, David has invested in Belize, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, riding the wave of investment in Central America, which he believes continues to build.

You can't invest in foreign real estate from your armchair. You can't research an opportunity online, act on it, and expect to come out on top. And you should never take advice on investing in any overseas market from someone who hasn't done it himself.

You have really only two options for making money in international real estate:

You can invest the time and money to check out every property opportunity personally, yourself...

Or you can follow the lead of someone who has already done it himself...and made money at it.
 
At the Third Annual Global Real Estate Profits Summit in tropical Panama, I'm giving you the opportunity to save a whole lot of time and an enormous amount of your own money while gaining access to the best global real estate investment minds and deals in the world today.

Take advantage of our collective experience. Come, meet us in person. Ask your toughest questions. We'll provide answers on the spot...as well as the details of at least 10 current international real estate investment opportunities from Panama to the Philippines, from Brazil to Portugal, from Argentina to Australia. The Hotel Veneto is a newly renovated 5-star luxury hotel in the heart of El Congrejo, one of my favorite Panama City neighborhoods for its central location and abundance of restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Hotel Veneto offers beautifully appointed accommodation, four restaurants, a full-service spa, and a Las Vegas-style casino. A local friend describes this hotel as the best value in the city -- and we agree.

We've negotiated a very special discounted Global Real Estate Profits Summit Attendee Rate of only US$125 a night, including both full breakfast and free wireless Internet for the entirety of the event. If you've researched the cost of international-standard hotels in this town, you appreciate what a bargain this is. Internet alone can cost you US$15 a day at some hotels!

We've reserved a block of rooms, but, when they're gone, we may not be able to get more. Frankly, we're expecting a great turnout, given the volume of pre-registration sign-ups we've been receiving. So, again, please, don't delay in making your reservation.
Get real-world advice from people with real-world experience.

Find out not only what to buy, but how to do it safely and successfully.

Go home with your own list of new contacts in every aspect of international real estate investment.

You could spend thousands of dollars -- even tens of thousands -- traveling all over Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America scouting the most promising investment opportunities, checking out local market conditions, meeting local experts in finance and law...and still not learn as much as you will in just two-and-a-half-days at my Global Real Estate Profits Summit.

So even at full price, this event is what I like to call a smokin' deal. The education alone is worth the price of admission, frankly. But what you're really coming for, bottom line, are the deals. Invest in just one of them, and you could make back many multiples of the conference registration fee.

Admission is US$1,295 per person.

But I know that the economy hasn't been kind to most folks recently, and I want to make it as irresistible as possible for you to come on down to Panama and join us for what I know could well be the most important two-and-a-half-days you spend this year. So I've arranged several ways for you to attend at a discount... First, Panama Circle Members Attend Free: This goes without saying. Every Panama Circle Members is invited as our guest to every Panama event we sponsor. If you're a Panama Circle Member, all you need to do is get in touch here right now to put your name on the attendee list. Your Panama Circle Members Liaison Marion de Mena then will be in touch to help you make hotel reservations and any other arrangements you might need.

Second, You Can Register Now and Save US$250: Register before Oct. 7, and we'll take US$250 off the full conference price of US$1,295. During this period of Early Bird Registration, you get all the information, contacts, and offers for just US$1,045.

In Addition, Here's How You Can Save an Additional US$100: If you've ever attended one of my Global Real Estate Profits Summits in the past, you can take an additional US$100 off the price. Register as an Early Bird who has attended one of my events in the past, and you pay only US$945.

Plus, Overseas Retirement Letter Subscribers and Teleconference Attendees Save Another US$50 in addition to any other discount for which you qualify.

And Here's One More Chance For You to Save! If you hold a Live and Invest Overseas Conference Discount Voucher, you can redeem it for this event in addition to any other discount I mention above.

I've done all I can to make my Third Annual Global Real Estate Profits Summit valuable, affordable, and worth every nickel you spend to be in the room.

The rest is up to you. Register now and join us Oct. 15-17 in Panama City for the international real estate investment conference of the year.

I look forward to seeing you there,

Lief Simon
Global Real Estate Consultant and Investor P.S. Following the two-and-a-half-days of my Third Annual Global Real Estate Profits Summit, we'll be offering optional real estate scouting excursions, so you have the chance to see particular current Panama-specific investment opportunities firsthand. Ask for details when you register for the event. I look forward to meeting you in Panama in October!
