The property is in the San Vicente neighborhood of Puerto Armuelles Panama.

The property is in town, but in a quiet little “eddy” off the main flow. Close to services, including restaurants and stores.

Titled

This land is titled.  It was titled many years ago by the bank Morgan & Morgan.  This is good news.

If this were a right of possession (ROP) property, as a foreigner, you could not title it.  That is because foreigners are not allowed to own titled land within 10 kilometers of the border. And this property is less than 10 kilometers from the Costa Rica border.  (Find out about the Panama 10K rule here.)

But because the property is already titled, it is fully and completely legal for a foreigner to have the title transferred into their name.  As I said good news.

Morgan & Morgan long ago abandoned its ownership of this and other properties in San Vicente.

This land is titled.  It was titled many years ago by the bank Morgan & Morgan.  This is good news.

Because it allows you, as a foreigner, to own titled land within 10 kilometers of the border.  In Panama, foreigners are not allowed to title land within 10 kilometers of the border. But if the land is already titled, foreigners are allowed to own it and get the title transferred into their name. (note:  This property is less than 10 kilometers from the Costa Rica border.)  Find out about the Panama 10K rule here.

But because this property is already titled, it is fully and completely legal for a foreigner to have the title transferred into their name. As I said good news.

However, we are selling this property to you as an ROP property, just as it and all the beachfront properties in the San Vicente neighborhood have been bought and sold for generations. If you choose to, you can get the title transferred into your name. Your lawyer can handle this that transaction for you. 

If you want the title of this property in your name it is a simple matter to transfer the title from Morgan & Morgan to your name.  It is an optional step.  If you want to do it, your lawyer can handle this whole transaction for you. Others have done this easily and successfully before.

Much like getting a property titled for the first time, there is a cost involved.  It is similar to what it would cost to title an ROP property, if you, as a foreigner, were allowed to do so in this location.

Property Tax Exempt

Another piece of good news is that this property will soon be exempt from property taxes.

On October 18, 2017, Panama passed a huge Property tax reform.  Starting in Jan. 2019, you will own zero property taxes on your primary home if you bought it for under $120,000.

So this property would be tax-exempt. (Assuming it is your primary residence in Panama).

You can find out more about 2017 Panama property tax reform here. 

Expat Community

Another bonus for this location is that it is close to at least 2 weekly expat gatherings.

This property is only a 3 to 10-minute stroll from the restaurants or hotels at which these expat gatherings take place.

The satellite photo looks the property pinches beach access from the street. That would not be a friendly start for a new resident.
As your lowest priced property, why is it less than similar ones?
