I am living on the other side of the world from the US , Singapore.

If I need major elective surgery before I make it to 65 I feel confident that I can sell or mortgage an asset, if need be, and go get the operation done in a first rate hospital in Canada, Israel or Singapore.

@Jeffrey Chang I suspect you will have trouble deducting any of this unless in your lease you specified that your tenants were not allowed to mount things in the wall.

@Andrew SyriosThe worst part is that the People’s Action Org is named the same as the People’s Action Party in Singapore, a leftist fascist group founded on Traditional Leninist views.

Honestly, most of them are from California, but we have investors from Israel and Singapore to Denver and Seattle investing here.While I think Indy is a great place to be, I have many clients in multiple markets and I think the most import thing isn't just the market, but building a team and having a network in that market to help find the deals, understand the numbers, close quickly, renovate efficiently, and manage the property effectively.

I'm Kai Yap from Singapore and staying in Singapore. 

However, I have signed with a management consultancy and asked to go to Singapore (and maybe also Dubai) for a great start to my career and low taxes (unlike in Denmark as you may know).Despite being very happy with the upcoming job, I am a bit frustrated because I think working abroad will be a hurdle to my RE investment career in the sense that I will have both limited time (crazy work hours) and be geographically far away from the market I know best and have a great network within (Denmark).I think what I really need is to hear from someone who manages to invest in RE while living abroad or far away from the targeted market.

I am trying to understand the taxation for overseas investors (from Taiwan and Singapore).

@Darren Chang I shop 2-3 regularly, and tell them up front.

@Jay Chang I was thinking if I moved in and made it a primary residence i could get away from the “ income property “ title and be able to put less down.
