Travel Tips and Long-Term Rental Q&A with Suzan Haskins

[MARKART]

I'm planning a slow tour of Europe for later this year, probably: Ireland, Scotland, and Britain to start off, and I'll be looking for moderately long stays in these countries. Other than Airbnb, where would you recommend looking?

HI Alan, you will be going in rainy season, so keep that in mind...but that's okay, anytime is a good time for Panama. Not sure what you'd like me to answer but if you are looking for a place to stay, you can start by looking on AirBnB, VRBO, etc. Another option is to look at local realtor websites—they often have rentals. Look by location...in other words, Google “rentals Boquete, Panama.” Another good resource is Facebook. I’m a member of a group called “Panama Real Estate Buy Sell Rent” and you’ll often find properties there. And join specific Facebook groups such as “Expats in Boquette, Panama” and ask for rental agent recommendations.

I'll offer similar advice as I did to Alan researching Panama. Start start by looking on AirBnB, VRBO, etc. Also look at local realtor websites—they often have rentals. Look by location...in other words, Google “rentals Edinbrough.” Another good resource is Facebook. But do a good amount of research on taking pets. At one time, the UK had a quarantine requirement. Not sure if that is still in effect, but you will want to find out.

Since the AirBNB model has been so downgraded in Spain, what are the best options for finding a short-term apartment rental (1 to 3 months) to do a test run to see if it might work as a retirement home. what are some options that won't break the bank? I'm thinking of Valencia, Asturias, and Andalucia as options.
Thanks!

I'm currently in Mexico for close to five months, and at first found my apartment via a property manager, now I pay the owner directly. I'd like to go to Costa Rica, Italy, and Spain for a few months too, and need to know how and where to find the short term rentals and I realize it depends on the city and province/state in that country.

I am looking for the best place to find long term rentals in the Coco, Costa Rica area. Most of the sites have long and short term rentals mixed together and it is difficult to tell what properties are available for 12 months or longer leases. Is there a source that is exclusive for long term rent/lease?

Currently on a scouting trip in France. Realtor said, since we are retired, we will probably need guarantee insurance so the renter will approve us. Then an expat told me about a company called Garantme that helped her. What other obstacles might we encounter

When doing slow traveling, what are economical ways (short of a shared dorm in a hostel) of finding lodging for short-term stays (1 to 5 days) in Southern Europe?
Thanks!

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.
