In my case, Israel, it's like buying in a first world nation, with secure laws and regulations.

I see you are from Israel, so are you familiar with Detroit?

I work with investors every day from Hawaii, Israel, Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, and others.  

Currently there are 68.If we look at the other side of the coin, a US resident who pays tax to a foreing country for an investment there (I have an American client who owns several apartment buildings in Israel) reports income in the foreign country and then takes a foreign tax credit (Form 1116) on his US.

I currently live in Israel, where you cannot make any money on traditional investing, and the housing market there is really out of control.

I have investors from Israel, China , Canada and All over the US asking me the minute we have an investor deal make them the first to contact.
