I wish there was a place where appreciation and property taxes were tax-advantaged like a retirement account, so that my "buy" price (after I've paid my taxes on the income used to buy it) is primarily what establishes any future property taxes I would have to pay, no matter how much the asset increased in value, over my long-term ownership of the asset, so that I'm not double taxed on my income and then taxed AGAIN based on the future increased value of the asset I purchased with that income.It would be completely mind blowing if such a place existed, making that place truly unique for real estate investing, on the global stage, even so much so that a bunch of Billionaires from East Asia might want to buy those assets because they've found the best place possible to park money for long-term growth, while receiving CoC ROI for the duration of their ownership, compared to anything else on the planet Earth. 

Mainly because you've traveled to some of my favorite spots in Asia.

Friend just spent $13,000 worth of points on a first-class flight to Asia.

After that realization, I decided to spend the next few years traveling, working as a deck hand on a luxury/adventure charter sailing yacht in South East Asia, a caretaker for a multi-millionaire's estate in South East Florida and lifeguard/host to (non-paying) guests during the summer months at my campsite next to the beach in Montauk, New York. 

Native to Southeast Asia, Pink Cedar is slender in youth, becoming more rounded as heights approach 40 feet.

Foreign currencies have merit, unless the issuing country is debasing its currency.Commodities look interesting as Asia continues growing.My local cash is short term and I still remember the high t-bill rates of many years ago.An adventurous soul might look for overseas opportunities and move to Singapore like financier Jim Rogers (co-founder with George Soros of the Quantum Fund).IMO, a very interesting diversification in RE would be farmland.

@Stephen E.The phenomenon has yet to become pronounced in the Maritimes amongst residential real estate, but we have encountered "parking" money from Asia vying for multi-unit complexes in the past 2 - 3 years.

I’m an expat in Asia as well, and I have to say that the key to being able to continue to invest from abroad lies entirely with your team.

From what I see here in Asia, the interest in good yields remains strong and the demand for safe quality assets is high as well.

So, I thought that since I have more time for myself I would look for some properties to invest in and when I get rich I'm going to Asia to buy one of those Mail Order Brides.
