Rent Before You Buy — or Sell

By

Many future expats need to dispose of real estate back home before they can move abroad. We wanted to sell our Florida house before we move to Panama. It would give us a cleaner exit, and also a little cash in our pockets to help with moving and settling-in expenses. Unfortunately, the Central Florida economy has intervened.

Finally! A Real Roadmap for Moving Overseas

By

I've found it! Earlier this year, I wrote about my disappointment in a product that promised to be a roadmap for expats. Instead, it was a bunch of fluff -- mostly recycled fluff, at that. I haven't given up the search, though, because we future expats need something that will take us, step by step, from our home countries to our lives abroad. Now the solution is available -- and right now, it's being offered at half price. Kathleen Peddicord has used her three decades of writing about the …
