You'll meet an impressive collection of respected international real estate authorities, gathering to share with you a wealth of intelligence about the most profitable international real estate opportunities in the world, including:

Dear International Living Reader,
I got an email this week from a reader looking for contacts in four different real estate markets: Croatia, France (specifically leaseback properties), Romania, and New Zealand. I won't reprint the entire email here but he asked some good questions and you should keep my answers (below) on file if you are interested in any of these markets.

Dear International Living Reader,
Not every country in the world levies a capital gains tax on profits from the sale of a piece of real estate. Be careful when investigating this expense, though, as some countries may not impose a "capital gains" tax per se. Instead, they may tax capital gains as ordinary income.

Dear International Living Reader,
Ireland in the '90s, thanks in large part to a young European Union, saw real estate prices increase 500% to 600% in less than 10 years.
Two years ago, pieces of sandy coast on the Costa Maya doubled in three years mostly because the Mexican government aggressively developed this area to attract tourists.

Dear International Living Reader,
When I made my first international real estate investment, I got a good deal because I was "in the market"--I was prepared to act when the right deal came my way.
In the world's hottest markets, you need to be prepared to act quickly. Otherwise, someone else will take the opportunity.
That preparation starts simply with the decision to diversify into international real estate…and doesn't end until the ink is dry on the right deal for you.

Dear International Living Reader,
It's true I've never lost money on an international real estate deal. Not because I use a secret system, or have access to information about hidden trends unavailable to you…but mostly because I have good contacts and I use common sense. Neither of which need cost you a lot of money. Here's how:
Use the Internet
Long before you visit the area you're considering for a real estate investment, sign on to a few bulletin boards based in the area. Read the current threads--they may answer some of your questions. Then ask some more. See which names come up the most and in what context. It will help you get a frame of reference if you don't have lots of time scheduled on the ground in the area.

Dear International Living Reader,
The first half of 2005, my schedule has me traveling at least two weeks of every month. Fifteen destinations on four continents are on my itinerary before Bastille day--five of these are new markets; the others are places with new activity. I have asked colleagues to check out another half dozen markets that I won't be able to get to.

Dear International Living Reader,
"How can you suggest we invest overseas when the dollar is in such terrible shape? We want to buy but are holding off because of the dollar's weak state."
That's from a reader responding to last week's Saturday Edition (see The Smartest Investment You Can Make).
In my opinion, the current weak state of the U.S. dollar will get worse before it gets better. Then again, I could be wrong. The only certainty is that your dollars buy less British waterfront or European beach than they did this time last year…and that this trend will continue or it won't.
