Assets Which the IRS Can NOT Seize!

Diversification That Generates Cash...
A piece of property in a foreign country translates to diversification beyond U.S. markets and outside the U.S. dollar. No matter how many kinds of investments you hold, if they're all U.S.-based or all U.S. dollar-denominated, you are not diversified. You are at the mercy of U.S. markets and events, and today that's a dangerous place to be.

Certain places today present great opportunity, especially for the investor in search of a yield, thanks to expanding marketplaces. Meantime, other countries are in all-out crisis. Both scenarios present opportunity for the investor paying attention and ready to act.

Not Reportable...Or Seizable...


Furthermore, foreign property holdings are one of the few remaining asset classes that can be kept private. An American is not required to report foreign property holdings to the IRS, not even on the new IRS Form 8938. And foreign property holdings are safe. How is a U.S. plaintiff or creditor going to seize your condo in Panama City or your beachfront lot in Belize?

An overseas real estate investment made today for diversification, safety, and an annual rental yield can evolve into your retirement residence when you're eventually ready for that phase of life. Meantime, it can bring immediate personal enjoyment for you and your family. Your diversification and profit plan could take the form of an apartment in Paris, say, or a beach house in the Caribbean, meaning your offshore investment asset could double as your vacation getaway.

That's why, I say again: Foreign real estate is not only one of the best ways to invest your money today, it's also the smartest...and the sexiest.

But invest in foreign real estate? How? Where?
