The Smartest Investment You Can Make

Dear International Living Reader,
I believe there is no better way to increase your wealth and make your life more enjoyable than by investing in international real estate.
There are seven good reasons to invest in international real estate right now.
#1: Diversification. You don't need me to tell you that it's not wise to put everything you've got into one sector…or one market…that you need to spread your investment risk. I have no idea what's going to happen in the stock market…or to the dollar. But it doesn't matter. As the global value of a U.S. investment portfolio goes down along with the sinking dollar…the savvy investor, diversified out of the dollar, and invested in different types of real estate, is better off.

Dear International Living Reader,
He's a nice guy; friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy…at least, as far as you know. The sun is hot. The sand is soft. The water inviting. Sitting beneath a palm tree, frozen rum drink in hand…there's no reason to believe the land he's trying to sell you isn't everything he says it is, right?
As the dollar slides, opportunities for investment in non-U.S. property…in both emerging and developed markets…are increasingly attractive. And investing in a foreign development project can be one of the most financially rewarding foreign real estate investments you ever make. With that promise of a greater reward, though, comes greater risk…unless you know the right questions to ask.

Taxes are no fun…except a little when you can beat them…or at least defer them.
If an American buys a piece of real estate in another country…then eventually sells it for a profit…he owes capital gains taxes both in the U.S. and (maybe) in the jurisdiction where the property resides. Here's a way to defer the U.S. part of that capital gains burden: like-kind exchange it.
You may have heard of this strategy (officially known as Section 1031) with regards to U.S. assets, but most people don't realize you can put it to work for you offshore, too.
