Descriptions- EXPAT FILES SHOW #770 FRI, JUNE 29- (06-29-2018):

#1- What if you want a “Plan B” get away but your partner doesn’t:

If your better half doesn’t necessarily want to go along with the “Plan B” concept and get out of dodge, then what? What if you are all gung-ho for it and he or she just ain’t?

 #2–What about gringos and expats with mobile homes in Latin America?

Does that make sense? What are the upsides and downsides? Well, our friend Bitcoin Dan did just that about 6 years ago and was smart about it… but still it certainly wasn’t a breeze, even for him. He had more than his share of testy even dangerous moments including being held up by Mexican banditos at gunpoint…

That’s the subject of today's “boots on the ground” story

 #4-Common real estate rental mistakes gringos and expats often make:
