1 Investments

Many people purchase property in Panama as an investment and part of their return will be in rental income. For this type of investment a well located property is essential. Homes and condos in the major tourist areas are the number one choice for vacation rentals and will often provide year round income offsetting the costs of maintenance and management fees while growing steadily in equity. Many new condominium complexes and new home developments are perfect candidates for a vacation rental. These new communities are well constructed, modern and usually located near shopping and activities for tourists. Most have lush landscaping and offer amenities including pools and golf courses. The common areas are maintained and the cost is part of the Homeowners dues, so there’s no need for a gardener. Maid service is a common feature of a vacation rental and is necessary for the comfort of your guests.

Older homes can make great vacation rentals as well. Especially if they are well maintained and well located. These older homes tend to be less expensive, larger and often more private. They can still have many of the modern amenities vacationers are looking for and if the home has a pool that is a great asset. These types of vacation rentals are popular with larger groups traveling together. A vacation rental is often less expensive than multiple hotel rooms.

Beach front vacation homes should offer a high standard of luxury and amenities to command the highest price and people looking for these types of accommodations will expect nothing less. The same will hold true for island properties. A less populated beach is an asset as well.

Another excellent investment caters to people who are considering a property purchase but are still in the investigation phase. Many times these people will consider renting a home for a while to get the feel of Panama and the area. These types of rentals can be almost anywhere, from smaller out of the way towns to the more populated cities. The amenities in these types of rentals should be up to date but the home need not be lavish. Because homes in outlying areas are usually less expensive, the rent for these homes can be less as well.
