And SF in Alabama is way better than HDB in Changi,Bedok,AMK in Singapore.And for you guys to understand this concept more.The income-to-house price ratio in US/Canada nationwide 25-29In Asia 60-80 (Hongkong at 65)In India it's 160.The very reason many Asian wanna move to US is because *property ownership is still so affordable  in US*

If it's a specific market in my region, like Australia, Singapore and hong-kong, I'll try to focus on the differences my particular niche (Japan) has compared to their own country.

As a consequence, you can't protect yourself, even if the legal system protects individuals better than in the US.Often, inheritance and liquidation tax will murder your equity, while an LLC eradicates your NOI (different tax structure than personal income-generating assets).Now, I'm not talking about a mailbox company in Belize with a front representative in Hong Kong or anything illegal like that, but I keep thinking to myself: there has to be a better way.Who here knows a little about these types of things and where can I get myself educated on the matter?
