Practical advice on how to enjoy the unique benefits and avoid the pitfalls of investing in real estate abroad  

In the current uncertain investment climate, foreign real estate represents a more important opportunity than ever before, for both the investor who wants to move a portion of their wealth abroad and the retiree looking for affordable living options. How to Buy Real Estate Overseas explains one of the best options available today for diversification, asset protection, and a safe haven for wealth. Foreign property is a hard asset that, unlike stocks, for example, can't go bankrupt and collapse to zero. 

This book is an expert guide to the advantages and the challenges of investing in real estate overseas. 

Author Kathleen Peddicord, an American currently based in Panama, is considered the world's foremost authority on overseas retirement and foreign property investment. She has traveled to more than 50 countries, invested in real estate in 18, established businesses in seven, renovated historic properties in six, and educated her children in four. She knows from personal experience how foreign real estate can appreciate significantly over time, throw off an annual cash flow, and provide personal enjoyment for you and your family. 

An investment in a piece of real estate in a foreign country is a chance for both profit and fun. How to Buy Real Estate Overseas offers practical advice on how to find great deals, buy and manage property profitably in unfamiliar and potentially volatile foreign markets.

Great Intro to Overseas Real Estate Investing

The Narrator was very good. A stable pitch throughout the chapters. Storytelling with the right focus on the important facts around overseas real estate investing. But this is in 2013 and it would be great to compare this with the changes in the author's views in 2020 as present day technology will surely encourage some changes in the thought processes around some of the advice imparted in this book. For me some of the useful insights from the book was about how markets cycle from boom to bust and then recovery. Some good real life examples highlighted. The round trip of transfer fees, not just how much does it cost to get in but also how much do we sacrifice to get out is something quite important. The give and take between the tax savings and liabilities between international taxation and taxes in the US. Foreign incorporation for holding overseas properties and impact of tax liabilities. The author obviously from her 30 years of on the ground experience in multiple international markets definitely has a great grasp of knowledge on the nuances of real estate ownership in multiple countries. She conveys the facts very well on the freehold and lease based ownerships. This was a good read for me!!
