Hello, In Sweden we don't have good tax benefits, is it worth it?

[Edgar Sarkayan]

I live in Sweden where taxes are superhigh, not many benefits like 1031 exchange is active for investors, is it still worth investing without these benefits? Is there anyone that can guide me out here?

Thanks in advance, Edgar

Quote from @Matt Devincenzo:

I know over the years there have been a few contributors here on BP that were from/purchasing in Iceland, the Netherlands and a couple other European countries. So hopefully some of them can chime in with a more local perspective. I'm sure there are fairly significant differences even between those countries, but they're more likely to have a similar investing climate to yours than those of us in the States might.

Yeah, the tax benefits are close to none. So, we focus on the essentials; cash-flow.

Historically speaking, appreciation has been great, too - but that's just a bonus.

Is it worth it? If you buy right, get creative, and provide value.
