Lief has purchased more than 50 properties, investing in 26 different countries around the world. Lief has more experience buying and profiting from real estate around the world than any other individual investor you’re likely to find.
In this conversation we talk about the process to purchase international real estate, due diligence checklists, pitfalls to avoid and things to keep in mind (such as 10% Transfer Fees or 10% RE Agent Fees) when investing overseas, some potentially interesting RE markets like Brazil or Portugal (some of my favorites), and other options for RE exposure such as Hard Money or Agriculture investments.
This episode is packed with knowledge to get you started investing in international real estate. Enjoy!
