One of the things I’ve learned over the years is that the investment decisions aren’t solely made by looking at balance sheets, yields, or graphs… 

…they’re made by understanding a country’s story and understanding how the country’s people came to be the way they are, and whether the culture is one that is going to lead the country to greater prosperity over the years and decades to follow or be nothing more than a footnote in history.

When you really understand how a nation came to be and what it fought for, what it resisted, and what it built from nothing, you start to see the deeper signals of where it’s going next.

Paraguay doesn’t just offer smart, high-upside investments and one of the easiest permanent residency programs in the world… it has a history of resilience and independence that’s baked into the national DNA.

So today, in honour of the recent celebration of independence, we’re taking a look back at how this landlocked powerhouse claimed its sovereignty and carved out a path that still shapes its identity, its politics, and its people to this day.

Beyond this, I am going to discuss an investment signal I noticed that has seen Paraguay gaining attention on the global stage in recent weeks.

This edition of Paraguay Potential also includes an incredible “DEAL OF THE WEEK” and a very special invitation, so read on carefully with an open mind. This edition has the power to be a big part of your future….

Paraguay’s Path to Independence: A Bloodless Revolution

Tucked away in the heart of South America, landlocked, isolated, and often overlooked, Paraguay had none of the natural geographic advantages its neighbours enjoyed. 

No coastline. 

No easy trade routes. 

Just rivers, forests, and an incredibly determined people.

But despite that (or maybe because of it), Paraguay became one of the first South American nations to declare independence from colonial rule.

Paraguay’s path to sovereignty is unlike any other in Latin America.

While most of the continent was engulfed in brutal, years-long wars for independence,  battles that tore apart cities, bled economies dry, and cost thousands of lives, Paraguay stood alone as the one nation that managed to break free from colonial rule without a single drop of blood spilled.

Let that sink in for a moment.

No civil war. No mass violence. No revolutionary chaos.

In May of 1811, after years of growing discontent with the colonial system, a group of Paraguayan patriots staged a non-violent coup. The Spanish governor was overthrown without violence, and power was transferred locally. 

And it was 100% Paraguayan.

With a small population, limited resources, and surrounded by hostile powers, the odds weren’t in their favour… but they did it anyway.

They overthrew the Spanish-appointed governor and claimed their sovereignty on their own terms and did so without needing the backing of foreign powers or broader revolutionary networks. 

It was quiet, internal, and entirely self-directed.

The independent, proud, self-reliant attitude has never left the country since. 

Even today, Paraguay is governed by a deeply rooted sense of autonomy. 

Its financial system is conservative.

Its immigration and residency pathways are generous but simple. 

…and unlike many of its neighbours, it’s managed to avoid the kind of political and economic chaos that so often plagues the region.

There’s a reason people here don’t rely on others to solve their problems… they never needed to.

And as an investor, that kind of national character matters.

Because when you invest in a country, you’re not just investing in land, buildings, or numbers. 

You’re investing in the ethos of a place. 

You’re investing in the government’s attitude toward ownership and liberty. 

The systems either support or undermine long-term stability, and here in Paraguay, we know we stand on a solid foundation. 

When you invest in Paraguay, you're investing in a country whose independence wasn't won by war… but by will.

A country that doesn’t posture or play geopolitical games.

A country that avoids headlines and quietly grows.

A country where freedom isn’t a sales pitch… it’s a founding principle.

And if you’re someone who values self-reliance, sovereignty, and the ability to make moves without asking permission… look no further…

Come See Paraguay For Yourself… You’re Invited (Literally)

When I landed in Paraguay this past February, I had a clear objective: to show a group of freedom-minded individuals exactly why I believe this small, often overlooked country is one of the most strategic places on Earth to plant a flag in right now.

It wasn’t a sightseeing trip.

It was real people, taking real steps, toward real freedom.

We spent our time together on the ground, meeting developers, analyzing deals, understanding the country’s residency program, and building momentum toward a real offshore Plan-B.

Thirty people just like you… entrepreneurs, investors, families, and freedom-minded individuals came together to put boots-on-the-ground to experience what’s actually possible when you combine a stable economy, a residency program that works, and real access to the right deal flow.

The results were incredible.

People walked away energized, confident, and, most importantly, in action toward having their offshore Plan-B created.

Since wrapping up the last tour, people have been banging down our doors asking when we are going to be running another one… so we stepped up.

To be frank, I didn’t anticipate leading another tour here until 2026 at the earliest, but when my community asked, I answered.

So, we are doing it again.

The next Paraguay Exploration & Investment Tour runs September 14th through the 21st, 2025, and if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to make your move, this is it.

Over eight immersive days, you’ll be with me on the ground as we dive deep into Paraguay’s opportunities from every angle.

We’ll walk through the residency program step-by-step and show you how to structure your Plan-B here legally and effectively (last time, nine tour attendees started the residency process).

We’ll also be exploring real estate and infrastructure projects that are positioned for both cash flow and long-term appreciation. Some are in the infancy of the development stages, whereas others are already ready to generate cash flow for you.

We’ll show you how to legally and effectively establish a long-term strategy here, whether that’s for investment, lifestyle, protection… or all of the above.

And I’ll be there every step of the way, personally leading this tour. 

I’ll be with you the entire time.

I’m not vanishing after the welcome dinner.

I won’t be hiding in my hotel room and only popping out for a few minutes here and there, like many others would.

I’ll be right there in the bus, walking sites, sitting beside you at lunch, helping you connect the dots between what’s possible on paper and what’s doable in your real life.

Now, let me be clear…

Last time, a number of people waited until the very last week to register. And while we didn’t turn anyone away, it was tight.

This time we’re capping the group again and based on early interest, I fully expect it to sell out well in advance of September.

This is a small, curated group for a reason.

In order for this tour to be effective and for everyone to walk away with real clarity, we need the right energy, trust, and alignment between tour attendees.

That happens best in tight circles.

If you’ve been following along for a while, you already know this is the right next step.

And if you’re new here, let me assure you… This is the most turnkey, high-impact way to get boots on the ground and explore a serious Plan-B jurisdiction with your own eyes, alongside the best in the business. 

When you join the tour, everything is included.

You just get yourself to Asunción, the capital of Paraguay, and from there, my team and I will take care of the rest.

Luxury accommodations, intra-country flights, all meals at top restaurants, private transportation… you name it, we’ve got it covered. 

To reserve your spot or to learn more before reserving your seat, visit ExpatMoney.com/Paraguay.

This is going to be a hands-on masterclass in global freedom, Plan-B implementation, and intelligent investing in one of the few countries still doing things right.

If you’re ready to get on the ground, gather intel, make decisions, and actually take a real step toward securing your future, this is it. 

I’m not saying this tour is for everyone. It’s not.

But if you’re done with “someday” and ready for “let’s go,”

…then I’ll see you in Paraguay.

Deal of the Week: The FINAL Studio at The Soho

Every now and then, a deal comes along that’s not just smart… but final.

This week’s featured opportunity is just that, the very last chance to own a unit in one of Ciudad del Este’s most sought-after districts inside The Soho.

The Soho was launched exclusively for members of the Expat Money community. It’s literally a club deal that I negotiated directly with the development firm's owner, and I personally reviewed and approved the project from top to bottom.

It was designed to meet the standards of freedom-oriented investors… and the project speaks for itself. 

The building sold incredibly well, and now, only one unit remains.

Last week, there were two units left; however, as I am writing this now, I have just learned from my partner, Fernando, that one of the remaining units is already under contract with another investor from the Expat Money community.

That leaves a single studio unit available. 

What makes this especially rare is that, unlike many final-phase offerings, the price has not been raised just because it’s the last one. 

I refused to let the developer jack up the prices for my community.

There’s no markup, no last-minute premium. 

That’s not how we do business. 

Instead, what you’re looking at is an honest, final opportunity to own something with real scarcity and a strategic location, at a price that makes more sense than ever before.

 

The studio itself is priced at $69,267 USD, and it comes with an optional parking space priced at $11,950 USD which brings the total to $81,217 USD if you choose to include parking.

Studios in this part of the city almost never come with parking. 

It’s simply not common. Which means, not only do you have the benefit of parking if you need it, but if your future tenant doesn’t… you can rent it out separately for additional cash flow.  

That single decision could pay itself off within just a few years, and then generate pure upside every month thereafter.

And speaking of ease and upside… here’s something that’s often overlooked in these types of deals: furnishing.

This unit has already been fitted with air conditioning units, full kitchen cabinetry, and built-in cupboards.

That’s thousands of dollars and weeks of time saved. 

All that’s left is to furnish it to your taste, or more likely, to quickly outfit it for tenants who are already looking for something move-in ready in this location.

But the real story here isn’t just the location or the numbers… It’s the community.

Everyone who owns at The Soho came through my network.

That means whether you’re living in the unit yourself, renting it out long-term, or holding it as a part of a broader residency or investment strategy, you’ll be in good company.

If you’re interested in this final unit and want to learn how you can secure it for your own offshore investment portfolio, email my partner, Fernando, at Expat@GreenParana.com right now.

Folks, after all closing costs and fees, this unit will cost less than 85k, and that’s including the parking spot.

…enough said.

If you want in, act quickly and email Fernando at Expat@GreenParana.com, or it will be gone.

Guaranteed. 

Going Global On The World Stage

It’s easy to think of Paraguay as a quiet part of South America…  tucked away, under the radar, overlooked by the global headlines that swirl around its neighbours. 

But that narrative is shifting fast. Check this out: 

Last week, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio made a very public mention of Paraguay’s energy reserves, drawing attention to one of the country’s most valuable strategic assets: hydropower. 

This may have seemed like a throwaway comment in passing, but to those of us watching closely, it was far more than that. 

It was a signal.

The eyes of the world are starting to settle on Paraguay not because it’s the flashiest player in the region, but because it’s quietly sitting on the kind of fundamentals the world is desperate for right now: energy independence, water security, food production, and political stability.

Rubio’s comment underscores what my partners and I have known for years: Paraguay is emerging.

The country already powers much of its own infrastructure through the Itaipú Dam, one of the largest hydroelectric facilities in the world. 

It exports energy, maintains favourable trade agreements, and continues to build without overextending itself. 

And while other nations are fighting internal chaos and political battles, Paraguay is expanding roads, modernizing its cities, and welcoming investors like you with open arms.

This is just the beginning.

Expect more headlines, mentions, multinational attention, capital inflows, and partnerships that bring Paraguay further into the spotlight.

For those of us already positioned here or thinking about doing so soon, these early signals matter. 

They confirm that the work we’re doing now to secure land, build real assets, and obtain second residencies is not just proactive from a freedom preservation standpoint, it’s very much profitable too. 

Paraguay is moving in one direction.

Up and to the right.

Paraguay may not still be making a ton of headlines, but it is most certainly making smart investors money and giving global citizens room to breathe.

So if you’re the kind of investor or rightfully concerned freedom-seeker who prefers momentum without mania, opportunity without volatility, and upside backed by real utility, then this is your moment to take a closer look.
