Purchase price: $20,000 Cash invested: $2,000 For some investors, these numbers look small but it is because of the currency exchange (at that time, I was not in the US).

This is very profitable because we’ll sell in US dollars to foreigners or wealthy locals and our costs will be very low and incurred in the heavily depreciated local currency.

It’s definitely a different ballgame in the US, but I find it even more lucrative in both the short and long term, especially given the lower interest rates, landlord-friendly laws, tax efficiency, and hard currency income.

With blockchain and digital currency, it is easier than ever to invest out of country.

I sold the flat 2 years ago and have had 100K+ euros in my savings account since then.I have investments in the stock market and in crypto currencies but looking to make at least one investment in a buy/hold rental property.A friend house-flipper recommended BP so now I'm here.I'm looking to buy in or near Ghent in Belgium.

Say I have securities such as stocks or crypto currencies.

Not many people will want all that currency and geopolitical risk in their portfolio.  

If not, what about the currency exposure? 

Compare that to when Wall Street collapsed or currencies that aren’t backed by anything tangible"https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/01/real-estate-is-still-the-best-investment-you-can-make-today-millionaires-say.html?

I like that the American Dollar is so strong against foreign currencies.
