Why A Real Estate Investment Overseas Can Double As A Retirement Plan..........................................
If you’ve got a little money to invest, what should you think about doing with it?
My unequivocal response to that question, which I receive from readers every day, is: Buy real estate overseas.
An investment in a piece of real estate in another country is the best, smartest thing you could do with your money right now. How can I make that statement with such confidence?
Reason #1: Like real estate anywhere, real estate overseas is a hard asset, and, in the current investment climate, hard assets are the most sensible investment class, the best choice for storing value...
Reason #2: As with real estate anywhere, you’re buying with the hope of capital appreciation, but you can also be buying for cash flow, right now an important investment agenda...
Reason #3: Real estate overseas provides portfolio diversification — diversification of currency, diversification of market, and diversification of asset type (rental, raw land, condo-hotel, etc.)...
Reason #4: Real estate overseas provides the opportunity for you to position yourself to profit from both expanding and crisis markets...
Reason #5: Real estate overseas can double as a retirement plan — today’s investment can be tomorrow’s retirement residence...
Reason #6: Real estate overseas can double as a holiday home, an investment that you and your family are able to use and enjoy from the day you make it...
Reason #7: Real estate overseas can be part of a legacy of wealth that you leave to your heirs...
Reason #8: Real estate overseas is safe and private, one of but two remaining asset types that an American need not report to the IRS every year...
Reason #9: A real estate investment overseas can bring tax advantages, including deductions you can take on your U.S. tax return...
Reviewing this list of reasons to buy real estate overseas, you notice that, big picture, it breaks itself down into two categories — category 1: investment; category 2: lifestyle. Different agendas that, for the best results, should be considered in unison.
Another thing to notice about this list of reasons to put your time and money into the acquisition of real estate overseas is that, fundamentally, it’s all about diversification. This is the real advantage of this strategy — diversification of your portfolio and your assets, but diversification, too, of your life, your retirement, and your legacy.
We are living at a time that presents the opportunity to take the investor’s profit agenda, combine it with the live-better-for-less agenda of the retiree, and transfer it overseas. An opportunity to use overseas real estate as both an investment vehicle and a strategy for a new and better life, both immediately and longer term in retirement. Overseas real estate amounts to the surest strategy for creating and preserving legacy wealth while simultaneously reinventing your life and rescuing your retirement.
