Lee Harrison retired back in 2001 and never really stopped moving since. Over more than two decades he’s lived, bought, and sold property across Latin America, picking up lessons most people only learn the hard way.
His journey took him through Cuenca, then Uruguay, Brazil, Medellin, and now Mazatlán. Each stop taught him something different about cost of living, currency swings, and timing the market right. He left Brazil for specific reasons, moved on from Medellin eventually too, and he’s already thinking about what comes after Mazatlán.
Harrison points to one market he considers the strongest property investment opportunity right now, built on years of watching how these places actually perform rather than how they’re marketed.
For anyone considering a move abroad, he breaks down what people need to prepare for mentally and financially, including how Medicare access works once you’re living overseas. His take blends practical advice with real stories from decades of trial and error.
The full conversation covers his mindset shifts, specific advantages he found living abroad, and the reality checks nobody mentions until you’re already there. It’s a solid roadmap built from actual experience, not guesswork.
