International real estate offers five advantages over domestic real estate:
• Global real estate can appreciate faster than U.S. real estate. Markets where there are local distortions, undiscovered locations, and expanding interest offer greater chances of serious appreciation. Because you’re buying at a discount to the full market potential, there is a higher ceiling for appreciation. Furthermore, with today’s technology, many people can work from anywhere on the planet. Why work in a suburb of Peoria, when you could work and live just as easily on the beach in Belize? More and more people are thinking this way...and the market for non-U.S. real estate will continue to appreciate accordingly.
• Global real estate offers you a safe alternative if things go bad (or worse) in the United States. Many Americans fear for their constitutional rights, which seem to be taking a back seat to Homeland Security. We’d argue that no government is “good” government...but many around the world are much less intrusive than that in the U.S.
• Global real estate is an easy way to move some of your assets offshore. Few restrictions are placed on Americans related to the purchase of property overseas. And once you own property abroad, it’s extremely difficult for the government, creditors, or anyone else to get at it.
• Your real estate investment can double as a personal retreat, part-time residence, or vacation getaway. You can take enjoyment from it while it’s appreciating in value...generating rental returns...and safeguarding your net worth.
• Global real estate investing can open the doors and broaden your horizon to a new lifestyle. How many investments work like that? Not many. Plus, the wealth you build with your real estate investments abroad will go much further in a fast-growing developing economy than in the States.
