51 Experts Reveal How to Escape
the Coming U.S. Depression...
 

Dear International Living Reader,

It turned out to be the most important conference we have ever held.

Our “Live and Invest Overseas” conference in Long Beach, California, took place at an extraordinary moment... nothing less than the collapse of Wall Street and the U.S. financial system.

I wish I could be more upbeat but the facts won’t let me. The world's financial markets are in panic mode.

We’ve just seen the worst plunge in stocks since the Depression year of 1934.

A U.S. recession—or worse—is now in the cards. Corporate earnings will slide, stock prices will go lower.

This sell-off makes perfect sense. The market is simply recalculating stock values to account for shrinking earnings and cash flows. Don't expect any sort of serious rebound until the credit markets stabilize. That will take years.

We made it a point to invite safety-first advisors to this conference. And that decision couldn’t have proven to be more timely or paid off any better.

Every one of our financial experts at this extraordinary three-day event saw this coming—and has critically important information on how to position yourself for safety and profit.

There IS a Better Way

As our speakers reassured us, it’s a wide world out there and you do have a choice.

You don’t have to watch as your U.S. stocks, real estate and all dollar-based assets crumble. There are plenty of thriving economies with strong currencies steadily appreciating against the dollar.

In other words, why sit around and watch your net worth shrink when you don’t have to?

Not when you can buy foreign stocks that are immune to the credit-crisis meltdown and pay double-digit dividends.

Not when you can buy beachfront homes for less than $100,000 that are a shoe-in for 20% appreciation.

Not when you can live in sophisticated first-world cities where live-in help costs $200 a month.

As you’ll see it’s never been easier to “fly the coop” and alight in a dirt-cheap Shangri-La—with lots of friends, activities, ways to make money from the convenience of your laptop.

All you need is the information revealed in the three days of presentations held at the most critical time in recent memory. And now you can get it all for 66% less than the attendees themselves paid to hear it in person.

Why Now Is Such a Great Time to Make Your Move

The 253 people who crowded into our “Live and Invest Overseas” conference had many different visions of their ideal place in the sun. Some were drawn by dreams of Italian villas surrounded by sun-dappled vineyards... and many others by breezy tropical cabanas under towering palms.

But they also wanted to know how to keep their money safe enough to make sure their dreams are never yanked away.

Former Congressman, Bob Bauman made a scarily convincing case that exchange controls are a real possibility under the next president. If you heard what I did, I think you’d want to get some money out of the country tomorrow.

It’s not just Washington who’s after your money. Every seven seconds a private lawsuit is filed, and your IRA or other retirement plan is no longer off-limits.

* Asset-protection expert Joel Nagel explained seven ways to you can put a solid-steel wall around your wealth...

* Retirement and estate planning guru Larry Grossman told us a remarkable (and legal!) way to use your IRA to buy your dream house abroad.

* International real estate scout Ronan McMahon explaining why the “Ryanair Effect” is a virtually certain predictor of rising property values... and the four best place to profit from it right now...

* Bob Bauman again on the very real benefits of dual citizenship—and why it’s probably a lot easier than you think to obtain...

Some of these experts charge $500 an hour for personal consultations. You can hear what they think is most critical now with the Conference Review Kit we’re preparing right now for anyone who couldn’t make it to Long Beach.

You can’t even find most of this stuff anywhere else. And you’ll certainly never find all these experts’ advice all in any other single place.

* You’ll see how to get 9% on your money in foreign T-bills (that’s 18 times the paltry half percent they’re paying here… and with the St. Louis-based bank you’ll see in your Conference Review Kit, you don’t have to send your money to abroad to capture these sky-high yields.)

* How to get a powerhouse passport that lets you live, travel, and work in 27 countries (if you have any Irish or Italian ancestors you can get one of these door-openers in six months).

* How Argentina compares to Uruguay...Italy to France...Panama to Nicaragua...and why Ecuador is hands-down the cheapest place in the world you can live in

* How to find the best country in the world for your own needs...how to manage your retirement money so you’ll never outlive it...

* What to do with your time when you're settled into your new home(nobody can play golf or lay in the sun forever)...

* How to earn $20,000 and more for writing letters or magazine articles about your overseas living experiences…

* Where to put your travel photos on line and watch as $200… $500… or several thousand dollars a month piles up in your account.

Our 54 experts came from all corners of the globe to Long Beach to reveal the best places to buy overseas for profit, all the ways they’ve discovered to padlock your wealth, and the easiest places they’ve found to live and do business overseas.

It’s impossible to pick just one highlight...

* Was it living in the midst of breathtaking beauty on $600 a month in Ecuador?

* How to buy Brazilian beachfront condos for less than 1% down—and see a return of 2,005% in three months?

* The chance to own a 15th-century Italian palazzo for less than a three-bedroom rambler in Dallas?

* How to know with almost total accuracy when a cheap and “undiscovered” part of the globe will see a quick jump in property values?

* The sophisticated city where total coverage for basic healthcare costs $25 per month?

* The tropical first-world metropolis where a live-in maid costs $200 per month?

* Knowing that there are still countries that welcome you with open arms and let you live in First-World comfort while paying no (or next to no) taxes? (Panama, Andorra, and Hong Kong are just the beginning of this list!)

Beach Front Property that Could Set You Up For Life

You think your commute is tough?

Try getting to the office with Peter Menedis. Peter commutes between Charleston, South Carolina and the northeast coast of Brazil, where he is developing three beachfront communities outside the regional capital of Fortaleza.

Right now it takes him 22 grueling hours. But his commute is about to get a lot shorter. In two months, Delta is starting direct flights from Atlanta to Fortaleza that will knock 12 hours off his ordeal.

Why should you care that life is getting better for Peter? Because it can make you a lot of money.

To say that Fortaleza is in the midst of a real estate boom is putting it mildly. A developer recently released a 132-unit beachfront high-rise to the public at 7 p.m. By noon the next day they were all gone.

Fortaleza’s spectacular beaches have long attracted wealthy Brazilians from the south looking to escape the crowds. In recent years, thanks to the strong euro and the flights from Madrid, a flood of Europeans have also been pouring into the property market.

Now that thousands of North Americans can reach Fortaleza so much easier, that’s only going to add fuel to the fire.

Peter’s selling beautifully appointed condos on the beach for well under $100,000. Mostly to British, Irish, and Scandinavians.

His prices have already appreciated some 20% in the past year...and I have a hunch that not long after thousands of American tourists start stepping off Delta’s new flights, they’ll be worth 20% more.

There’s no reason the investor making those profits couldn’t be you. (Only two units remain in Peter’s 36-unit Palm Beach project...but he has two new projects going up...and by ordering the entire conference recording now you can get details on dozens of other similarly cheap Brazilian opportunities.)

Live on $600 per Month in the Land of Eternal Spring

Where in the world can you live comfortably on half your Social Security check? In Ecuador.

In your Conference Review Kit, you’ll hear about Lee and Peggy Carper, who rent a three-bedroom apartment in the mountain town of Cotacachi for $150 per month. They pay $250 for food...$50 for medicine...$40 for maid service...and $24 to have their all laundry done. Their combined bill for water and gas? $19 a month.

With $2 hair cuts, $2 manicures, $2.50 four-course dinners, $10 doctor’s visits...it’s hard to go broke in Ecuador, even if you try.

There’s so much to Ecuador that it’s hard to decide what sounds best. Is it the vast unspoiled Pacific coast where you can ride horses on the beach for miles without crossing a soul? The crisp mountain villages where you can soak in natural hot springs with breathtaking views? The colonial city Cuenca with its charming wrought-iron balconies? The magical valley of Vilcabamba with its tales of incredible longevity? Modern sophisticated Quito (which Coldwell Banker say is the cheapest major city in world)? Or a mountain village like the Carpers’ Cotacachi where you can live a small-town 1950s lifestyle that has all but disappeared from North America?

When you hear about the wide variety of properties available in Ecuador, you’ll feel like a kid in a candy story—and the candy’s on sale!

Just $46,000 for a 1,100-square-foot penthouse in Cotacachi... Four-bedroom, ocean-view homes for $180,000... Ocean-view lots for $6,000.

It looks like many of our attendees are going there to see these gems for themselves. You can fly anywhere in the country for about $65, so it’s an easy place to get to know.

If you want to stay on for a while, it’s also easy to get residency. And the government tosses in discounts on travel and health care for anyone over 65. Not that you’ll need it. I paid $2,200 for shoulder surgery in Quito that would have cost me $15,000 in the States.

Think Europe Is Too Expensive?

I bet you haven’t been to southern Italy lately.

The “forgotten” provinces of Campania and Basilicata have rolling hills of vineyards and olive groves as pretty as any in Tuscany, but tourists ignore them.

For just $58,500 you can move into your own mini-castle overlooking a valley. In your Conference Review Kit, you’ll see where to find 376 properties selling for under $60,000.

You can pick up a charming farmhouse for $50,000 that would cost $300,000 in other parts of Italy. Some are in rough shape, but many look identical to villas I’ve seen myself in Tuscany—but they’re only 20% of the price. And they’re only an hour away from Tuscany!

You can get a fixer-upper for under $20,000. Or a charming 750-square-foot home for $78,000 that you can easily rent out for $550 week. Rent it out just half the year and you’ll be making 18% a year on your investment.

And I haven’t even mentioned France yet, where you can still buy impossibly charming cottages for less than $80,000.

Or Belize, the tiny English-speaking bit of Central America where you can sail, fish, scuba dive, hike, go cave tubing...even practice amateur archeology among the Mayan ruins...all while enjoying the best and cheapest seafood you’ll ever have.

I could go on and on but I think you get the idea: there are some awfully beautiful and exciting and cultured places in the world where you can live for a song.

Even if I had all day, I couldn’t tell you everything that was revealed—for the simple reason that some sessions went on simultaneously. And as much as I wanted to, I couldn’t be in two places at once.

But you can do what I couldn’t: hear every word every one of our experts had to say...without even coming to the show.

The Next Best Thing to Being There Yourself...

“Info packed and inspirational! Absolutely worth every penny! Great Value! Could not believe how much info was packed into all 3 days! Also, no hard sales and just open sharing of information was so unexpected and refreshing.” Lisa Rabbe, Anchorage, AK

If you couldn’t make it to Long Beach, you can have every one of our speakers come to you. We’ve recorded every word they said so you can listen to them in the comfort of your own living room.

You’ll hear from attorneys about the legal wrinkles of buying abroad. What you need to do before you move. How to get title insurance. How to ship your belongings. How to take care of your money matters. Everything.

You also get contact information for all the realtors and developers so you can go straight to the source of the property bargains.

This is a complete package of everything that happened at this event. All the short cuts, legal advice, foreign currency maneuvers… every single insider’s tip on creating the perfect lifestyle abroad that 54 experts shared with us at the conference.

“I learned so much and loved the speeches. It exceeded my expectations. I feel much more confident knowing professionals in the different fields who can help guide me in the process of moving overseas.” – Susan Allred, Eastsound, WA

You’ll get audio recordings of every presentation made at the event. And electronic copies of their hand outs, PowerPoint and visual presentations. Plus you get the extensive package of resources we gave to each attendee when they came through the door.

This 203-page online bible of overseas-living tips gives you every contact, address, phone number, website and other referral our speakers think you should know about...PLUS two comprehensive special reports:

1) How to Prepare for a Move Overseas

2)Pockets of Prosperity: Six Top Destinations Around the World Where You Can Invest for Profit and Live Well for Less (how about a 15th-century villa in the Italian hills for $129,000?).

You’ll also get 11 detailed country reports with all the need-to-know information for anyone considering a move to Argentina, Belize, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France, Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, or Uruguay.

In some ways, getting this kit is better than being at the event in person. You can listen to all the presentations, even those held simultaneously.

And you can listen to them at your leisure... skip around to what interests you most, take notes at your own pace. Most importantly, you can listen to them as many times as you like, so you don't miss a thing.

You Know You Should Do Something. This Makes It Easy.

How long will it take for stocks to recover in our sick economy? Months, years, a decade?

If you wait long enough, 10 years maybe, things will eventually improve here at home. But why not invest where you’ll get paid now?

In your Conference Review Kit you’ll see where you can put your money to work now in healthy companies paying double-digit cash dividends in strong currencies like the euro and Canadian dollar.

While U.S. shares pay a puny 2.7%, the average stock in New Zealand yields almost 10%! In Peru, the average stock yields 9.3%... in Italy, 8.7%... Sweden, 6.7%... Holland, 6.4%... U.K., 6.2%... and Taiwan, 5.4%.

Don’t forget that three-quarters of all economic activity occurs outside the U.S.—often in economies that are seeing much stronger economic growth.

Despite the horror movie on Wall Street, worldwide growth will still clock in at a healthy 4% this year.

China is growing over 9.0% this year. Taiwan is growing 4.3%, eight times as fast as the U.S.

South America is booming, too. Peru, Argentina and Uruguay are averaging 5.0% growth this year, while the Brazil, the world’s 10th-largest economy, is growing 4.8%. (No wonder property values are booming in Brazil!)

Profit from the World’s Most Powerful Investment Force

Every investment revealed at this conference has a wonderful “tail wind” behind it: the weakening U.S. dollar. Even if its price in local currency doesn’t move a bit, its value to you will move ever upward.

Let me tell you a personal story to show you just how lucrative this force can be.

Several years ago, I spent six months in France. I fell in love with it and was on the verge of buying a charming “maison de ville” in Dordogne for 200,000 euros. The euro was worth 80 cents back then, so it would have set me back $160,000.

I dilly-dallied and never did take the plunge. It was the biggest investment mistake of my life. That house is now worth 400,000 euros… and each euro is worth $1.4… so that’s now a $560,000 property. I would be $400,000 richer now—and be able to look back on many trips to the Dordogne—if I had just gone with my gut. There are plenty of places in the world that offer you the same kind of opportunity I foolishly missed out on in France. You’ll hear about virtually all of them in your Conference Review Kit.  

Fact is, this single resource can do more to increase your wealth… ensure your retirement… pay for your kids’ education… protect you from the free-falling U.S. dollar… and raise your standard of living than anything you’ll find on Wall Street.
