Reading today about the drought in California hit home for me the long-term benefits of owning agricultural land somewhere in the world that had access to plenty of water. The drought is being blamed for increased prices of everything from milk and vegetables to In-N-Out burgers. Water levels in Lake Mead, which provides water to […]
A friend told me over dinner last week about a property investment he tried to make in Mendoza, Argentina. He likes the city, but he travels a lot and has property investments in many other countries. He didn’t really need an apartment in Mendoza and owning one would further complicate an already complicated life. On […]
“I told them the contract is risky, but they invested anyway.” That’s what one of my attorney contacts told me about a recent client experience. He was surprised and even appalled that the client didn’t take his advice and walk away from the investment because he, the attorney, had concerns about some of the contract […]
The euro is on a downward slide that appears likely to continue in the wake of the recent nominal rate cut by the ECB. Unfortunately for me, I just converted U.S. dollars to euros to buy an apartment in Paris at possibly the worst time in the last two-and-a-half years to have made such an […]
About two years ago, I invested in cemetery plots in the UK. Specifically, I bought a 10-plot package and recommended that some of my premium readers do the same. Last week I heard from the agent who brokered the investment. He was contacting me to tell me that the developer behind the offer has received planning […]

“So we’ll go to the apartment to drop off our bags and pick up the cellphones,” I said. “Then let’s head right back out. It’s a beautiful afternoon. Let’s walk to town and stop somewhere for drinks.” “Sounds good,” Lief replied. “We can call Lee to ask if he’d like to meet for dinner. His […]
The first viewing was a one-bedroom, two-bath apartment with a den on Avenida Balboa. The den could be converted into a small bedroom to make the unit a two-bedroom. Why did the developer not package the property this way in the first place? Probably due to concerns over zoning density. Other apartments along Avenida Balboa […]
Lief: “Diversification. I see real estate as the ultimate vehicle for diversification—across countries, markets, economies, politics, currencies, asset types…” Lee: “For a better retirement. I’ve made several real estate purchases in different countries now, and in each case I’ve started the search with the question: Where do my wife and I want to be? We […]
An attendee at the Belize conference earlier this month told me that, while he has traveled all over the globe and has friends in many different cities around the world, he had never, until this month’s event, considered buying real estate in another country. Despite this, he has what, until that point, he had considered […]
