 As the United States economy drags itself
ever so slowly out of recession investors
find themselves looking offshore.

 Economies in Latin America and Asia
continue to grow.


 Foreign real estate investments in these
regions and elsewhere hold promise for
investors for a number of reasons.


 Foreign real estate investments can take
advantage of regional growth, convey tax
advantages to the investor, generate cash
flow as well as capital appreciation, and
provide a degree of asset preservation not
available in United States investments.


 As with all smart investing, fundamental
analysis of investments is important but
when an investor puts in the time and effort
profits can be spectacular.

 The Chinese economic miracle continues
despite the worst recession in three quarters
of a century.

 A collection of smaller Asian nations are still
referred to as the Asian tigers because of
their economic prowess.


 Mexico and Brazil are vying to be the new
Latin American super power

 and little Panama on the land bridge that
connects North and South America is
growing as fast as China.


 Where there is growth, there is wealth and
where there is wealth, property appreciates
in value.

 One does not need to start a business in
Panama City, Panama.


 As we note in our article, Three Good
Investment Ideas, one can buy commercial
real estate in a growing market like Panama
and collect rent checks as property values
go up.

 Even in good markets there are business
failures.


 Buying repossessed properties in a country
like Panama can be lucrative if one has the
services of a local firm that will scout out
investment opportunities.


 Did someone say, “tax haven?”

 Much that is written about tax havens is a bit
overblown.


 The ability to “hide” assets offshore may
well be a thing of the past if it ever really
existed for most people.


 However, nations looking for foreign
investment often provide unique and
valuable opportunities to those willing to
engage in foreign real estate investments on
their territory.


 Many nations have bilateral taxation
agreements.


 Picking the right place to invest in real
estate could be a matter of picking a country
that taxes you at a low rate and spares you
the pain of paying taxes “back home.”


 Unlike investing in foreign stocks via ADR’s
the rent checks from commercial property in
Bogotá, or Buenos Aires can be banked in
Colombia pesos or Brazilian reals.


 The Colombian peso performed the best
versus the US dollar of all currencies in
2012.


 Bank the proceeds from your property
offshore, make good interest from the local
bank, and watch your assets, denominated
in a healthy foreign currency, growth as US
debt eats into the value of the US dollar.


 This applies to real estate everywhere.

 Land and what is built on are tangible
assets.


 You can take charge of a real estate
investment and make changes as needed.


 When the time is right you can sell you
foreign real estate investments or you can
use the equity to buy more foreign real
estate investments.


 There is a learning curve for learning how to
invest in foreign real estate.

 However, one does not need to invest a
dime (or centavo) until he or she is ready.
