When I purchase a property in Panama, is there a lot of maintenance involved to keep the property in optimal condition?

Panama has a humid and hot climate and having a good maintenance program is required to keep your property in optimal condition. Many of Panama’s skyscrapers are close to the sea. The salt air and humidity require for frequent repainting and replacing of metal items due to rust over time. The same applies to houses close to the sea in the various beach communities / islands.
Use of dehumidifiers is common. With an effective maintenance program, you can best enjoy your property.
