Hi,

I am a Canadian expat. I never invested in real estate. I want to create a real estate portfolio that will support me for retirement. Unfortuantley, I am planning to live in different countries. So I will not stay in one country for too long. So I will need a property manager( a good one) to manage my properties for me as I will be too busy on my work or be in another country.  Do you know of good books that I can read regarding investing real estate as an expat or investing in real estate in abroad? Do you know where I can find a list of countries to avoid investing in real estate? Which countries do expats typically invest? What properties do expats typically invest? Do you know which books/sources for finding a good property managers? Are property managers necessary in this case? Do you know of real estate investors who are expats whom I can follow on Youtube or can talk to?  Thank you so much for your help. 

Hi, I am from Canada. I never invested before. I want my first investment to be real estate as it can produce monthly income. I have read that people use real estate to help  them during retirement instead of relying on a retirement plan like 401 K or RRSP. I was thinking to get real estate to fund my retirement.  

I will be working as an English teacher in China this year. My plan is to work in different countries. So I will work 2-3 years in China, 2-3 years in Japan, 2-3 years in Thailand, etc.  I do not want to live in Canada anymore because I want to live  in other countries. 

I was thinking to buy real estate in Canada and  other countries that I will be living in.  I do not want to sell them. The only problem is that I have to hire somebody to look after the property and to collect rent for me. The problem with hiring a property manager is that there is a high risk of deceiving you. Unfortunately, there is not many trustworthy people. However, property manager is the only answer because I will not know anybody in that country. 

Q1: Based on my goals and my concern with property managers, is it worth me investing in real estate? What investments I should consider instead? I am looking for investments that can support me for retirement. 

Q2: Do you know where I can find reputable, trustworthy property managers? Is it recommend to get property managers? 

Thank you so much for your time and consideration in reading this message.

I am Canadian university student. I want to invest in real estate in different countries. I never invested before. I never invested in real estate. I do not have a lot of money.  I want to live in a different country just for 1-3 years and move to another one. I want to travel the world.   I want to buy real estate for retirement and not to depend on a job.  I want to charge rent to people. I want to get a monthly income from the real estate. I do not want to sell the real estate. 

Q1: Do you recommend I hire someone to take care of the property, to collect the rent, and to find tenants ? How do you find such trustworthy people or organizations?  Do you recommend that I buy property close to where I live?  The problem is I do not want to live in that country for too long. 

Q2: What is the minimum amount of money should I spend on real estate? Should I start small or large? 

Q3: What properties do you recommend I start with? Apartments, single family homes, multi-family homes, etc. 

Q4: I do not have money nor assets. I do not want to use my family's money or their assets as collateral for a mortgage. What do I if I do not have money and I do not have assets that I can use as a collateral for a mortgage?
