Crazy as it might seem, one of the safest ways to invest your dollars right now is in property in Europe. In France, to be exact. Incredibly, the French government is giving a refund of the full VAT rate—just under 20%—when you buy certain new-builds.

He’s had his attorney in the U.S. look at the contract, but that attorney doesn’t do real estate law, so he passed it along to another attorney who does.

If you’ve been following International Living’s recent Postcards, you’ll know that I am bullish on the stretch of coastline along Brazil’s northeast coast. IL’s Editorial Director Len Galvin and I recently spent 10 days on a scouting trip on this stretch of coastline.

You can even build your own luxury home with a pool on an ocean-view lot and still have change from $100,000.
