Michael Cobb | Kronos Podcast #332","description":"Thirty years in real estate. Hundreds of thousands of square feet. One rule: only invest in what you can touch. Then I sat down with Mike Cobb \u2014 co-founder of ECI Development \u2014 and he cracked that rule wide open. Mike's spent three decades building communities in Belize, Nicaragua, Panama, and Costa Rica. He ran a business in Central America for 33 years without a single bribe. He lived in Nicaragua with his family for 14 years. And he got a 90% malignant lung diagnosis in a Costa Rican hotel room that ended up being the clearest moment of his life. This episode is about international real estate, yes \u2014 but it's really about how to build something that matters and lasts. Jump in. &amp;nbsp; Michael Cobb  Book: https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/How-Buy-Your-Home-Overseas-ebook\/dp\/B0D3RZ14NY\/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0 Development Advisors Website:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.developmentadv.com\/  This episode is part of&amp;nbsp;The Kronos Group Podcast, where experienced operators and founders share real-world lessons on building, scaling, and protecting their businesses.
