Not by finding the next NVIDIA or Bitcoin, but by owning a simple index fund.It sounds impossible. Yet it happened – just a short time ago. Now a legendary figure says: “Brace yourselves. It’s about to happen here, in America. But fair warning – it could be the worst thing that ever happens to you.”This story has received little coverage in the press. But if history repeats, it could bump tens of millions of Americans into a 7-figure net worth practically overnight.Click here for the full story. Editor’s Note: Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld has been talking about real estate – especially international real estate – nonstop lately.I didn’t want Wealthy Retirement readers to miss out, so today, we’re kicking off a two-part series on international real estate investing.Part 1 is below – stay tuned for Part 2 on Saturday morning.- James Ogletree, Senior Managing Editor MARKET TRENDSWhy I’m Considering Investing OverseasMarc Lichtenfeld, Chief Income Strategist, The Oxford ClubI didn’t buy a home until I was 36 years old. And that was just as the real estate bubble was inflating – so not the best timing.But over the following seven years, I bought three real estate investments: two condo units and some vacant land in different parts of the country.I’ve since sold the condos. We did OK on one. The other was a home run. We still own the vacant land. My wife and I (half) joke that our kids can deal with it someday.Now that I’m a little older and (hopefully) a little wiser, I’m exploring investing in overseas real estate for the first time.Other than some international stock index funds, nearly all of my assets are U.S.-based. I need to diversify.It’s smart to have investments in different geographies. For most people, that will mean funds, like the ones I mentioned above. There are a variety of index funds that are focused on international markets like Europe and Asia, and there are even country-specific ETFs.You don’t have to be a real estate economist to know that housing prices in the U.S. have gone bonkers. With mortgage rates around 6% and sky-high prices, it’s very challenging for potential homebuyers and real estate investors.For the first time in my life, I’m looking at real estate outside the U.S. SPONSORED“OpenAI founder admits GPT-5 is smarter than him”Alex Green personally invested in Apple at $1… Netflix before it began streaming videos online… and Amazon before it dominated the market… Free briefing reveals how to get the details on his next big recommendation.Watch Before GPT-5 Launch In some places in Europe and many in Latin America, you can find beautiful new-construction homes in the $300,000s to $400,000s. If you’re willing to spend more, the home will probably be exquisite.I love the idea of having a place that my family can use anytime for vacation, but also rent out to defray the costs when we’re not there.So often, when we travel, it’s like the scene in the Chevy Chase movie Vacation where they pull up to the Grand Canyon, stand there for a minute, and jump in the car to the next destination. I relish the idea of getting to know a place and the people on a relaxed schedule.Besides making sense financially, here’s what I’m looking for in foreign real estate:Quality health care. I want to know that if there’s an emergency or just a simple illness, there are doctors and pharmacies that can help me out.Good food. I don’t necessarily need fancy restaurants, but fresh food cooked well is important. I also want access to a good market. I know I won’t have Publix or Trader Joe’s, and that’s fine. Fortunately, most of these towns that cater to expats have great markets with fresh local produce.Not too far from the airport. Some folks may want a place far removed from civilization. I know that I don’t want to drive three or four hours after getting off an airplane. For me, that would be a disincentive to visit my place.And perhaps most importantly, I need an expert who knows the area that can guide me. It can be a local real estate agent who has been referred by someone I trust… or a person/company that specializes in helping expats find their dream home or just an investment overseas.When it comes to investing in a foreign country, I’m certainly not familiar with the laws and customs of each location, so having that expert who can tell you what to expect – not only in the transaction, but also after you own the property – is essential.There’s no way I would do this without that person helping me.I’m hopeful that within the next year or so, we will start enjoying new family traditions in another country – and getting paid when other families do the same.Good investing,MarcLeave a Comment BUILD AND PROTECT YOUR WEALTH New IPO Signs MAJOR Deal with Apple Until 2040.
