Joe, I hope you're not getting too far offshore in that sailboat.Not to get off topic, but have you looked into REITs?

Does anyone have any experience dealing with offshore companies purchasing properties.

I do the same with my stoke portfolio... you have your retirement funds that you put in stable long term thinking companies, then you "gamble" with the rest haha

Very rare opportunity indeed.And sure, some will come in here and poo-poo all over this idea once again, talking about how Stockton is a tertiary market, we're at the top of the market, the bubble is about to burst, and so on and so on...But remember, they said the same thing about Sacramento, too...If it were me, I would take the gamble on Downtown Stockton, develop some millennial bait with some cool lofts or something and maybe a few high tech features in the home, and ride this development wave out and watch the property values skyrocket.Or you could always just buy that turn-key property you've never seen in some far away state and hope you don't get screwed over by the developer like a reader of my weekly newsletter just did... but that wouldn't be very wise now would it?

They may have nice appreciation but that's a bit of a gamble.

It would be better to pay whatever it is for testing soil out of pocket before closing and lose the money if tanks leaking then to buy the house as a gamble and have to re-mediate afterwards.

Buying in a hot market with the hope that it appreciates is essentially a gamble. 

The folks dedicated at this square measure typically additionally offshore professionals or expatriates WHO have access to an entire world of international banking services mixed currency finance approaches and funds.

. :) however my gut feeling - without complete understanding of their risks, structure, leverage, performance in a bad market it is quite a gamble for NPN...

However your local offshore bank may well be able to offer you mortgage facilities against this property or another that you may own in your home country if you are expatriate in Asia.Some developers offer up too 50% finance package.
