' Americans want to feel safe .'
“ The picture we got from the survey is very clear . Americans want to live close to the beach in a country where there is plenty of sun . They also want to feel safe and have highquality healthcare ,” said Ronan McMahon , founder and editor of Real Estate Trend Alert , who ' s been a part of more than $ 2 billion in international real estate transactions over the past two decades .
“ When Americans look to invest in property abroad , they do so for many different reasons with relocation being the most important one . People want to move to Portugal , Costa Rica and Mexico first and foremost . Panama takes the third place with retired Americans . When we look at the budgets that people have available to spend on property abroad , with a large majority not planning to spend more than $ 500,000 , it is no surprise that we see Central American countries so prominently represented in the top three most favored countries .”
