To: International Living readers
Re: The third International Real Estate Investment Forum. If you missed out on the previous best-selling events…now's your chance!

I can now reveal that the dates--November 3 & 4--for the third International Real Estate Investment Forum are confirmed. What's more, the line up of speakers who have RSVP'd is our most impressive ever.

Please consider this fair warning--places are limited and the previous two events sold out fast.

I'll be there, along with some of the foremost international land investment experts we know.

That's right, on November 3 & 4, I am going to show 150 select individuals how you could soon buy and sell valuable property anywhere in the world -- without paying a single cent in capital gains taxes! We'll show you how you can use your IRA to buy overseas Real Estate.

The Best FX Rates in Town

International Living Postcards-- Saturday Edition

Paris, France

Dear International Living Reader,

I don't worry too much about which way the currency markets will go. It's true I hold real estate in three different currencies (U.S. dollar, euro, and sterling) but up or down, I know these currencies--and any other currency I get into in the future--will go my way.

Allow me to explain: If you buy the right type of international real estate, you can leverage your purchase in a foreign currency (perhaps generating a rental cash flow in that currency to repay your mortgage) and create a non-dollar denominated net worth for the long term.

Taken By the Fifth

"Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
- The Fifth Amendment

Dear International Living Reader,

Don't governments of other countries steal property at will from foreign investors?

Readers ask us this question all the time. Sure, they wonder…these tropical paradises sound great…but what guarantee do I have that the government won't decide to boot me off my land someday?

In fact, you have no guarantee. But you enjoy no such guarantee anywhere…not even, some readers are surprised to hear…the good ol' US of A.

Follow the Starving Artists

International Living Postcards-- Saturday Edition

Paris, France

Dear International Living Reader,

The Jordaan district was built by the city of Amsterdam in the 1600s to house low income workers. It fell to ruin over the centuries and was almost demolished in the 1970s, but was saved by the locals at the time: painters, musicians, poets, sculptors, and writers.

These artists moved into the area because of low rents (and, sometimes, no rents) thirty years ago, although none of them can claim to be the district's first starving artist (Rembrandt has that honor).

Retire Early…Retire Rich (Anywhere You Want)

International Living Postcards-- Saturday Edition

Saturday, June 18, 2005

Dear International Living Reader,

My name is Lief Simon. I'm 36 years old. I will retire when I'm 40, 3 and half years from now.

I wasn't born rich. In fact, my parents were hippies. They didn't give a hoot about money. And still don't. But I was rebellious and became an accountant with a Masters degree in International Finance. A rebellious accountant you ask? Yes, I'll explain a little about that later. But that's not very important now. What's important is the opportunity that I am offering you.
