Different investment goals call for different markets. Here's a quick guide to help you narrow down your research:
6-10% yields in tourist hotspots like Playa del Carmen, Istanbul, and Antalya. High demand from short-term vacation rentals.
Dubai's property prices rose 20%+ in 2024. Singapore remains Asia's safest store of value with consistent long-term appreciation.
Portugal offers EU residency via fund investments. Turkey grants citizenship for $400K+ property. Both offer global mobility.
UAE has zero property tax, zero income tax, zero capital gains. Thailand's LTR visa offers 17% flat tax rate for qualified foreigners.
Dubai allows direct crypto property purchases. Portugal has favorable crypto tax treatment. Both attract digital nomads and crypto holders.
Start from $50-80K for a quality apartment. Turkey's lira depreciation creates bargains. Mexico's Riviera Maya still has entry-level prices.
Global real estate investing is full of surprising differences. Here are insights you won't find on Google:
UAE charges no annual property tax, no capital gains tax, and no income tax on rentals. Combined with 5-9% yields, it's one of the most tax-efficient markets in the world.
Unlike most Asian countries, Japan has zero restrictions on foreign property ownership. No residency required, no special permits. You can buy freehold from anywhere in the world.
Portugal ended real estate purchases for Golden Visa eligibility in 2023, but fund investments still qualify. Understanding these shifts is crucial for visa-driven investors.
Rental yields of 8-10% in Playa del Carmen and Tulum consistently outperform stock market returns, and property values appreciate 5-15% annually in tourist hotspots.
Foreigners can only own condos (not land) in Thailand. But there are legal workarounds using Thai companies and long-term leases that our reports explain in detail.
Dubai and parts of Turkey allow direct crypto property purchases. Others require conversion to local currency first. Each report rates crypto-friendliness.
