Hello Hemant, not sure what "milder climate" means to you or what kind of specifics you are after (beach, mountains, city, small town) but I'd point you to Panama, Portugal, or southern Spain.

This is completely useless. I thought we were going to hear her talk to us. I concur with the comments about doing a Teams meeting with chat - never will find what I need this way. If there was no intention to have an actual call - no need to set a time. Very disappointing.

Hi Suzan, love this opportunity to ask questions. I have several LOL! Hopefully they will also help others.....
IL has recommended asking for a discount on all rentals but when I ask on those hosted through Air BNB they always say they can’t change the price listed there. Suggestions?
-
Like others, I expected a live conversation using Zoom or similar online communication app. Was my expectation wrong? If not, does someone have a link?
-
I am planning to spend 3 months in France, Italy and Croatia to research living arrangement for a permanent move in a year or two. I would like to meet other IL members for coffee and I appreciate any IL connected housing.

must be doing something wrong. Can't get on!

If you have any tips on air travel, I would appreciate it. I worked in the travel industry for years and know my way around finding good fares, I alway love learning little tricks from other people.

Hi, not sure why you are not getting discounts on AirBnB, I almost always do. Keep trying. My suggestion to you is that you do AirBnB or a hotel for the first week you are in Spain (you can get one last minute if necessary) and then walk the streets looking for. a more long-term solution. And join any Facebook expat groups for your specifici community--they are always great resourcces. Search for "expats Malaga" for instance (or whatever town) and you should find something.

The only way to narrow it down is to visit your top contenders and stay as long as you can to get a feel for things. While there, shop in local markets, visit healthcare facilities and pharmacies, chat with local expats, etc. You have a fairly diverse group of countries on your list so boots-on-the-ground will help in your decision making.

Gated communities. They seem to be a thing in Panama even without homes on the properties. The idea of having a place to park oneself for their vacation and enjoy the community pool, picnic area, BBQ etc is appealing for those who want a place but don't always want a place. A HOA and maintenance fee of "land with amenities" may be a great way to vacation a few times a year while (potentially- depending on the HOA agreement) have guests use the property when you are not. Has anyone had any experience with such gated communities/amenities. What should others know about them before buying in?

Hi there, try Idealista.com -- a good ressource in that part of the world. Also, look at local realtor websites—soemtime they have rentals. Look by location...in other words, Google “rentals Valencia.” Another good resource is Facebook. Join specific Facebook groups such as “Expats in Malaga, Spain” and ask the group for rental agent recommendations.
