Hemispheres Special Conference Issue
by Susan Rensberger
While the palm trees in Belize are still waving good-by, our guests from the just-completed Hemispheres conference, A HIRE ACT Update, are home unpacking their bags.

by Brooke Cobb
The Hemispheres HIRE ACT Update and asset protection conference in Ambergris Caye, Belize has just come to a close. There were numerous discussions on new ideas of how people can protect what they’ve worked so very hard for.

On the morning of Wednesday, August 3, 2011, our first speaker addressed a major issue on everyone’s mind, banking. Many attendees are disturbed by the possibility of the United States falling into another recession and bank failures. Peter Zipper, President of Caye International Bank, Ltd. in Belize, addressed this issue by talking about the benefits of offshore banking and having multiple baskets for your nest eggs.

People frequently say to me, “I can buy a condo in Florida for less than what you are selling them for.” And they are right. The simple truth is that it is possible to buy a condo in Miami Beach for as little as $80 per sq.ft. One such offer I located is a condo built in 1948 located at 1275 Marseille Dr. just about a mile from the beach.
