There’s a lot of things about 2020 many of us would like to forget. The pandemic takes the top spot… but Trump v. Biden comes a close second. And now here we are again with the rerun most nobody wanted. Maybe you have no horse in this race, but chances are, you do. And while [...]
Why should you be looking beyond the United States for opportunity? I probably don’t need to go into all the problems America is facing these days. Unsustainable debt. Useless politicians. Everybody angry at everybody else. I started looking overseas for investment opportunities more than 30 years ago. I did it because I wanted new adventures, [...]
Yesterday I flew from Paris to Panama where later this week I’ll be joined by my global network of fellow real estate experts for this year’s International Property Summit. They’re coming from Mexico, Argentina, Belize, Cyprus, and beyond to share private property offerings worth at least $278,375 in cash savings and benefits across more than [...]
How should one hold property overseas? That’s a regular question at conferences… especially my International Property Summit event each year. The best option depends on the person, the property, and the country where the property is located… and even what funds you’re using for the investment. Use IRA funds and, generally speaking, you should set [...]
If you haven’t seen the first season of “Yellowstone” prequel, “1883”, take the time to watch it. It has a lot of good lessons. One key one is the value of things… or lack thereof as the case may be. As the Dutton family is crossing the U.S. with a wagon train, you see settlers [...]
We spend a lot of virtual ink lately reminding you of the benefits of owning property overseas... I tend to focus on the privacy, asset security, diversification, and tax upsides, in particular. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention what is arguably the biggest advantage. Property overseas is a much better bargain. Take a [...]
If you purchase a piece of real estate in another country, should you have the ownership documents issued in your name or, perhaps, in the name of a corporation? If a corporation, should it be a local company (formed in the jurisdiction where you’re purchasing) or one based somewhere else? I get these questions from [...]
I can point you toward plenty of elite destinations where billionaires moor their super-yachts… But this is the one they don’t want you to know about. Forbes likens this tiny European country to Monaco… And Robb Report claims it’s “The Mediterranean’s New Jet Set Hotspot.” With stunning fjords and a pristine landscape overlooking the same stretch of water as Italy, [...]
When Benjmain Franklin wrote, “…in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes” few could argue his position. Today, however, it’s a different story and alas it’s not taxes that are in doubt but rather one’s own existence… or lack thereof. You see Mr Franklin lived and died long before [...]
How do you get started investing in real estate overseas? To borrow a page from Nike’s playbook… You just do it. You take the plunge. You can’t wait until you’re fully prepared and you know everything. Neither of those things will ever be true, and no matter how many overseas property investments you make, you’ll [...]
