Locally, if you are going to own and maintain them yourself.
Unless, you are an investment and management company with an office or persons that are local to the properties.
If, you want to invest long distance --REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) shares are sold on major stock exchanges where they* are registered securities.

I would obviously start local. Since you can go & check the property yourself. Many a times you can get fooled or overpay as the property might not be worth or there might be some hidden costs involved.
Also it is important to determine if you would be renting out the property or just flip it at a higher cost in couple of months/years.

Real estate investments can be awesome. The best country depends on your goals – US, Canada, Spain, and more have their perks. It's smart to consider factors like market trends, regulations, and potential returns.

Great to see someone eager to dive into the world of real estate investments! It's a broad field with numerous opportunities, so the "best" place to invest can depend on a lot of factors. Are you looking for rental income, capital appreciation, or perhaps a mix of both? Your risk tolerance, investment timeline, and market familiarity are other key considerations.

For a while, back in the late 1970's I used to run and inspect 20 properties with 30 rentals and collect some of the rents. Truthfully, it's a real pain in the ass. There are some advances in 50 years of course. But I think there are better things do do with your money.
Real Estate has a lot of leverage and much financial risk also. Right now, if you need to refinance a current or balance due expiring mortgage --you may lose all your profit margin with the current interest rates on mortgages. Your equity from any capital appreciation may not be as liquid as you think.

When it comes to real estate investments, the best country can vary based on your goals and risk tolerance. Some popular options known for their stability and potential for returns include the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. However, emerging markets like Brazil, Mexico, and parts of Asia can offer higher growth potential. It's essential to do thorough research and consider factors like market trends, regulations, and economic stability before investing. If you're looking for a quick sale option, you can also explore ***Hidden Link Removed by Admin***. They can provide a hassle-free sale if you're looking to liquidate your investment quickly.

Hey there! Real estate investments can be quite exciting, right? In my opinion, it really depends on your goals and preferences. Each country offers its own unique opportunities and challenges.

I’ve dabbled in real estate investments and can share a bit from my experience. If you're considering international options, I'd highly recommend looking intoDubai real estate ***SERIAL LINK SPAMMER LINK REMOVED***. A few years ago, I bought a small apartment there, and it's been a fantastic investment. The market is vibrant, and there’s a strong demand for rentals, especially from expats.
I did a lot of research and found some really helpful tips on sandytimes.ae, which guided me through the process. Each country has its pros and cons, but Dubai stood out to me because of its growth potential and relatively straightforward property laws.

A ton of people are dumping theirs here, or at least trying to. Lots for sale now because the government is going to raise the capital gains tax from 50% to 66.7% as of June 25th. The first $250,000 will still be taxed at 50%, anything over that is just under 67%. The government will get more than the people who made the investment, or the kids who inherit their parents' home, cottage, whatever. Same goes for investments, selling a business, etc. Capital gains.
We're losing a lot of doctors because of it. They don't have a pension, they were told to set up their businesses as an LLC to sell at retirement, so many are trying to sell fast now and move out of the country. I imagine they're going stateside.
Capital gains are treated very differently here. Capital gains are only due for gains in excess of $250k for singles and over $500k for married couples. Of course, they only due if the earnings are not re-invested into another form of capital investment. There are loads of other exceptions as well as in IRA's and such. These carry deferred income tax and no capital gains. There are many other exceptions as well.
At present, real estate around the world has many trying to sell, but most because they need to upgrade or relocate. The issues in most markets at present are due to higher mortgage rates. Just a single point can raise a monthly payment by thousands in some cases. Everyone in the states got very comfortable with 2% and 3% rates in recent years and now they are easily double that. I remember the late '70's and 80's when rates were in the 16% to 18% range. Everyone today need to look at the history of rates before they complain too much about today's rates.
Rates aside, real estate as an investment is still a very good option. It's just that most people have to make it work with a mortgage which always complicates it. You see, as an investment, it should not be sold, but added to your portfolio. Everyone should buy some real estate and do whatever they can to own investment real estate free and clear as a long term plan. I have some investment real estate. All started with mortgages, all are paid off years ago. This is the goal of real estate investments. They typically manage breakeven roles through their mortgage years, while increasing in value and bring higher incomes year after year and then after the mortgage they bring unencumbered income aside from normal operating costs. Typically a safer and higher return than retirement accounts.
