U.S. Investors Moving Assets Into Panama Real Estate

Over the past 3 months we have served a growing number of US investors seeking to invest in Panama real estate in order to protect liquid assets they are currently are holding in cash or investments. The growing fear amongst these investors is the overall lack of stability present in the US Dollar and the looming fears of deflation as the Federal Reserve plans on pumping an additional $600 billion into financial markets. As a measure of protection against deflation, investors are buying up properties in Panama and holding them in anonymous bearer share corporations.

Panama is the only place in the world where you can set up an anonymous bearer share corporation and hold your real estate investments under this corporation. Under Panama law a bearer share corporation can be formed that is owned by the possessor of the physical certificates of stock with no recorded owner on record anywhere. The government of Panama does not even know who the owner of the offshore corporation is. Shares for a Panama Corporation do not have to have the owners name on them and they do not have to be kept in Panama. The books and records do not have to be kept in Panama either. If the offshore corporation is Panamanian, banks in Panama, has a resident address in Panama yet has offshore derived income it pays no Panama taxes and does not even need to file a Panama tax return. As you can imagine this set up has various perks for the owner of the corporation especially when it comes time to sell the appreciated real estate investment they have made.
