Just as there’s no right amount of money to have put aside for retirement…

There’s no age that’s the perfect age to move overseas…

And no time that’s the perfect time…

But here’s the one thing that all these money-making expats I mentioned above have done:

They took ownership of their future.

Rob, Lucy, Darren, Larry—and a growing number of folks I know—weren’t prepared for compromise…

It wasn’t good enough to spend their days in an office cubicle, on conference calls, running on coffee…

Not when they could be spending more of their days out enjoying adventures and experiences in the places of their dreams…

They knew that if they waited too long, they may be too old to enjoy it…

So they took action. They found the place they wanted to settle and put their skills to work to afford them a better lifestyle.

And now, I’d like to help you to do the same…

More Opportunity To Roam The World…

“I can’t imagine returning to a full-time desk job. Not when I can take off with my family for long summers in France. I’m not far off from being an empty nester, and I can already see more opportunity for me to ramble.”

—Lucy Culpepper, freelance writer

While I’ve been running my international publishing business, my husband Lief has been along for the ride, too—as editor of his own newsletters in the field of global real estate and offshore diversification. Together, we’ve moved from the United States to Waterford, Ireland… to Paris, France… to Panama City… and, recently, back to Paris again.

Along the way—and in all of these countries—we’ve bought, renovated, and invested in property… hired staff… dealt with local labor laws (I’ll admit I’ve usually left this to Lief)… and been through every step you need to follow to enjoy—and profit from—a new adventure overseas…

Now, tapping into our own experiences—as well as those of the friends and contacts we’ve made doing this all over the world (each of them masters of their own fields)—we’d like to share all our making-money-overseas knowledge with you…

Live and in person at our first-ever Make Money Overseas Event… this Nov. 2-4 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This is an event we’ve dreamed about putting on for years—to help readers like you get past that stumbling block of how they’re going to fund a new life overseas…

So, whether you’d like to:

• Find a new way to support yourself in your dream location overseas (either part- or full-time)…
• Move your existing business or apply your own skills in a new location overseas (and possibly cash in on local tax advantages)…
• Find out about cash-flow opportunities (that involve no work whatsoever) to help fund your new adventure overseas…
• Have a fun project to work on—and be proud of—as part of your new life overseas (with spare change to afford those extra luxuries)…

Then you need to be in the room with us in Sin City this November.

As I’ve said, there are many ways that you can fund your new life overseas.

But there’s only one way to approach it.

And, that is, the informed way…

Our aim is to set you up for success right from the get-go… helping you to choose the right opportunity for you and avoid the mistakes that people make when they dive in without the right preparation…

To that end, for this inaugural Make Money Overseas Event, we’ve rounded up as many experts as we can possibly squeeze into three days of information-packed presentations… from expats who have gone before you and can share their tips for getting started… to business and legal advisors who can help you get your business off the ground in a variety of havens overseas…

From getting paid to tell others about life in your hometown (by writing short articles)… to running your own artisan chocolate factory, dive shop, or fitness studio… to welcoming visitors to your guesthouse lodge tucked away in the highlands, the opportunities for making money overseas are truly unlimited.

And, at our Make Money Overseas Event, we’ll cover the best avenues for you to consider—where the path has already been paved by other expat entrepreneurs… foreign business is welcome and encouraged (and, often, incentivized)… and you have a thriving local market at your disposal… or an easy channel to get your goods overseas.

Over three days together, we’ll explore dozens of opportunities for you to consider…

These opportunities fall into three basic categories:

1. Digital-nomad gigs (with a laptop and internet connection, you’re free to work from anywhere)…
2. Brick-and-mortar businesses (here, you need to choose your country more carefully—and consider the tax advantages for foreign investors)…
3. Investing for cash flow (if you have savings to invest, this is an ideal pay-your-way, work-free option)…

What’s great about a “digital nomad” business is that you don’t have to wait until you go overseas to get started. It’s something you can start right away in your spare time and take with you on the road…

For brick-and-mortar businesses and cash-flow investment, you need to be more careful about where you position yourself… and how to spot the right deal (I’ll explain more about this in a moment).

To give our event focus, we’ve identified the top 10 money-making “tracks” you can follow… all of which can provide you with a generous side income (or full-time income) anywhere in the world you wish to base yourself.

For each of these 10 special opportunities, we’ll have a top expert in the house who’ll share their experience with you… and advise you on the best way to get started…

To whet your appetite for what’s to come in Las Vegas this November, here are some of the income-generating opportunities our experts and expats will walk you through:

That’s just a snapshot of the top 10 income-earning opportunities we’ll talk about in more detail in November…

But let’s not forget the opportunity to step away from work altogether… and still earn an income to live on overseas…

Let me share the story of another expat who’s doing just that…

In 2010, after falling in love with the Dominican Republic beach town of Sosúa, John Kumpel bought a condo to use for his vacations. Only those vacations were too few and far between…

“From my first visit, Sosúa was paradise on earth,” says John, 48, from New Jersey. “I felt deliriously happy all the time I was there.

“I started racking my brain for a way I could move to the DR full-time without having to wait for retirement. I needed a way to fund that plan. Then, bingo! I realized I could generate cash flow to fund my life in Sosúa by taking advantage of the real estate investment opportunities on offer there.”

John found a run-down property with eight condo units in a part of town that’s convenient to beaches, bars, casinos, and other visitor attractions. He was able to negotiate a price of US$100,000—more than 50% lower than the asking price (these kind of deals still exist out there, by the way… once you know the market and have the right representation).

After refurbishing the property to a high standard, John’s units are now in high demand on the short-term rental market… and he’s planning to expand his property into more units for higher returns.

But you don’t need to get into a large or medium-sized project like John to support yourself day-to-day…

Using his 401(k), Lee Harrison invested in a buy-to-let property in Medellín, Colombia, which he rents for US$1,900 a month.

That alone is an easy sum to live on in this part of the world…

But Lee has another apartment in Medellín that he bought as a part-time home. When Lee and his wife are out of town, they rent this place out… bumping up their total apartment income to US$4,100 per month…

At this Make Money Overseas Event, we’ll explore how cash-flow opportunities can help fund the life of your dreams, covering the important issues like:

• How to use your IRA or 401(k) for an overseas property purchase (and other ways to finance a foreign property)…
• What type of property works best for steady cash flow…
• How to identify a promising market (and how to determine the amount you should spend to buy what you want)…
• How to navigate markets with no multiple listing service (this includes most of the world)…
• The pros and cons of being a hands-on landlord versus using a property management agency…

And, we’ll introduce you to a range of properties currently available in the world’s top property markets…

By the time you’re bidding farewell to the gang in Las Vegas, you may well have identified your ideal income-producing opportunity.

Of course, investing in a property in one market doesn’t tie you to that place. You could, for example, invest in a property in Mexico’s Riviera Maya… but live full-time in Portugal’s Algarve…

Again, this is all about life on your own terms…

I Can’t Believe The Life I’m Living

“When I sit at my favorite beach bar, drinking a beer with my guests, gazing at the ocean… the thing that was the inspiration for my journey… I can’t believe I’m living the life I’m living.”

—John Kumpel, expat and property investor in the Dominican Republic

Show Me The Money—How Much Can I Expect To Make While Living The Good Life Overseas?

How much you make really comes down to how much you want to
work—as well as the type of business you get into. You can, as I said earlier, make from US$500 to US$1,500 a month working just a few hours a week…

At the lower end, US$500 may seem like a modest income. But, in many of the places we recommend overseas, it goes a long way…

The guest speakers at our Make Money Overseas Event will tell you how many hours they put in—and share their tips on bumping up income as you need. But to give you an idea of typical earnings, the following are some industry averages for a selection of the opportunities we’ll talk about…

US$20 An Hour Can Go A Long Way Overseas

“I live comfortably just on my teaching income, teaching about 22 hours per week, plus a couple of hours on Friday to do lesson plans. If you are still living in the United States or Canada, it might be tough to pay all the bills just teaching, but it would make a nice part-time income or retirement supplement. And if you retire to Panama or Ecuador or even Portugal, US$20 an hour goes a long way.”

—John Clites, English teacher and expat in Brazil

If you’re looking to live at least part-year… and, certainly, if you’re looking to live full-time overseas, I don’t recommend that you choose your new home purely for its tax advantages…

But sometimes, it’s possible to find a great lifestyle… with built-in tax advantages…

Part of the agenda at our Make Money Overseas Event is to introduce you to the world’s top places to do business today—the ones that stand above the rest for their generous tax breaks for foreign entrepreneurs and investors… reliable infrastructure… and general ease of doing business, day to day…

Panama City is where I chose to start my own publishing business a decade ago… for a combination of reasons that include its tax advantages (set yourself up properly here and you’ll pay no corporate tax), its stable economy and banking system, its labor pool, and its easy connectivity to the States and the rest of Central and Latin America.

Though Lief and I have made Paris our base once again, our business remains fully rooted in “the Hub of the Americas” and we enjoy regular trips to Panama… particularly to the wild Pacific coast where we’ve recently finished building a family vacation retreat…

In other words, Panama features in our long-term plans… and it continues to make as much sense for entrepreneurs today as it did a decade ago…

Where makes sense for you to base your business? We’ll work to help you find that answer over our three days together at this inaugural Make Money Overseas Event. And, as part of this agenda, we’ll show you how and where you can:

• Take advantage of zero-tax zones. If you have a manufacturing business (big or small) to relocate or are looking to start one, a number of countries have designated Free Trade Zones where you can bring materials in, process your goods, and then export them tax free…
• Qualify for residency as a business investor. Some nations offer residency visas to anyone interested in starting a business, thereby creating jobs, in the country. Colombia, for example, has an attractive and affordable start-a-business, get-a-visa program. At today’s exchange, the minimum investment requirement for permanent residency works out to about US$177,150…
• Qualify for tourism-business incentives. Tourism-based businesses are often incentivized, and certain countries have government agencies that are specifically focused on developing foreign investment in tourist-related activities—hotels, dive shops, etc. Nicaragua, for example, offers a 10-year tax exemption—giving you a generous window during which you can reinvest proceeds in growing your business…

More Than Just A Place Of Business

“I will continue to use Da Nang, Vietnam, as my base and regional headquarters because I am so fond of the city, its infrastructure, layout, low cost of living, and relaxed atmosphere… not to mention the friendly locals and expats.”

— Dan Walsh, glazier

Rob Burrows, Bar Owner in Belize

A former management consultant from Cleveland, Ohio, Rob knew there was far more to life than a 50-hour work week. After googling “the cheapest place in the Caribbean,” Rob came to check out Belize and was blown away by the lower cost of living, friendly locals, and slower pace of life. The fact that Belize is an English-speaking country made his decision to buy a local bar that much easier. Today, Rob works just 15 to 20 hours a week in his bar on Ambergris Caye, with plenty of time to enjoy sailing and fishing. In Vegas, he’ll share the ups and downs of running a brick-and-mortar business in paradise.

Everything You Need To Know To Afford The Lifestyle Of Your Dreams

The ultimate decision is in your hands…

Whether to wait it out… until you feel you’ve saved up enough to afford the life of your dreams overseas…

Or to say enough is enough… it’s time to take control over your life and give yourself the freedom, happiness, and new adventure you’ve been craving… without further delay…

If you’re in this second boat, then the best next step you can take is to join us at this 2018 Make Money Overseas Event.

It’s a daunting decision, I know. But here in Las Vegas, with my network of expat entrepreneurs, you’ll find yourself among like-minded friends as we help you move forward toward your goal…

Over our three days together, our experts will walk you through:

• The 10 best (and most lucrative) ways to earn your keep (and then some) overseas—working as little as 4 or 5 hours a week…
• Everything you need to consider when choosing a base for your brick-and-mortar business (remember, you owe it to yourself to take advantage of any incentives that exist)…
• No-work opportunities that will bring in a reliable monthly paycheck…

You’ll hear from expats who are already out there, living on their own terms… and funding their overseas adventures in a variety of ways… from English teacher to freelance writer… bar owner to property investor… franchiser to online trader…

They’ll share their cautionary tales… as well as their best tips for getting started… so you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into and can set yourself up for success…

Never before have we hosted an event purely dedicated to making money overseas (while doing as little work as possible)… and it will be at least another year until we can bring all these entrepreneurs together again…

I expect these seats to sell out fast.

You can call our conference line toll-free at 1-888-627-8834…

Or you can sign up online…

Or you can email conference director Valentine Fouché with any questions.

I look forwarding to welcoming you to Las Vegas this November.
