Investing outside USA

[Divya Pratap]

What do we think of investing outside USA? What strategies should one adopt? Which specific cities people focus on for high ROI and ease of bussiness?

I think a prudent investor would be comfortable with investments within arms reach. Unless you are thinking about Canada, investing out of North America you have to understand the different rules regulations and by laws of that country. For example some countries have 100 year mortgages. How does that effect the local real estate market? Just so much to learn.

A lot Canadians invest in the US because the prices in Canada are not affordable for the average Joe. But Canada and US are so similar in terms of fee simple, leasehold, how mortgages operate  etc.. it very easy to adjust.. 

If there is not enough opportunity in the US to make good yields to invest abroad I mean by all means.. But I can understand if someone has developed a large portfolio and are interested to explore go ahead.. Again I am speaking for the majority in BP
