Most people think that purchasing real estate overseas is about having a second home to go to when you want to travel abroad, or that it’s something to consider when you’re nearing retirement.
The truth is, it’s much more than just having a place to vacation or having a second home away from home. There are many perks to buying property overseas.
For example, purchase your future retirement home and rent it out while it isn’t in use to generate cash flow abroad in another currency. Buying property overseas would also allow you to store your wealth privately and enjoy the security of a hard asset.
You could also cash in on the current agricultural boom, which is a great way for long-term cash flow and preservation of wealth due to there being more people on the planet and less arable land available with climate change.
Plus, investing in property overseas could open the doors to overseas residency.
From our point of view, one of the most important perks of buying property overseas is true investment diversification.
