International Real Estate
Moving Wealth Offshore
After a certain level of capital creation, capital preservation and diversification becomes equally paramount. Having a bulk of your capital in a single currency, especially that of an emerging market can be risky. If your home country experienced political instability or economic decline, chances are your investment portfolio would equally suffer. Owning international real estate enables moving some of your savings and wealth offshore with diversification benefits and the ability to generate rental income and capital appreciation in a stable foreign currency.
Internationalizing your Lifestyle
In the countries of the developing world, members of the upper classes of the socioeconomic ladder are realizing that their home countries are in many ways going rapidly downhill without much hope of a short or medium-term reversal. This is particularly true for national economies, taxes, and regulations, and in terms of deteriorating individual liberty and quality of life. Buying foreign real estate gives you an alternative residency, a second home, a place to vacation and retire, and an emergency back-door if there’s ever trouble in your home country.
