Ep 9. Passport to Panama

Jorge and Michelle are looking for their dream vacation home in Panama and they have a budget of $200,000. They are specifically interested in the beachfront properties near the town of Coronado. They want a home that is close to the beach and has a large backyard for their dog to play in. They also want to be able to rent the home out when they are not using it.

Their real estate agent, Oriel, takes them to three different properties. The first property is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in the Coronado Bay Towers. The condo has an ocean view and the complex has amenities like a pool and a gym. The second property is a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home that is a short three-minute walk to the beach. The home has a large backyard and a pool. The third property is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom home with a large covered outdoor patio and a pool. The home is a ten-minute walk to the beach.

During their search, Jorge and Michelle learn about the Panamanian culture and the different types of cuisine that are popular in the country. They try ceviche, empanadas, and plantains. They also discover that there are a lot of expats living in Panama and that it is a popular retirement destination.

After viewing all three properties, Jorge and Michelle have a tough decision to make. They love the ocean view and amenities of the condo, but they also like the privacy and spacious backyard of the home that is a short walk to the beach. In the end, they choose the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home with the large covered patio and pool. They love the fact that it is close to the beach and has plenty of space for their dog to play. They also think that they will be able to rent the home out easily when they are not using it.

Overall, Jorge and Michelle are thrilled with their decision to purchase a beachfront property in Panama. They feel like they got a great deal and are excited to start enjoying the laid-back lifestyle of the country.
