I have been investing internationally for RE companies for 10 years across Europe and the USMy take away about France is as follow:pros- relative market stability for the past 20 years- stable currency (€)cons- highest taxes to GDP in the world (capital gain taxes, transfer tax, income tax etc)- extremely complex / opaque tax system- widespread corruption around high profile transactions and construction permits - 3 months transaction close due to high regulation burden - local authorities have first look right to purchase the property you have under contract.

US does try to tax everything I own even though its JPY based income… but in the end the magic if international Tax tricks always comes through, and as such, I wouldn’t have much US taxable income to offset at all. 

Hi @Eamon Heggarty, Maybe you've seen this since posting, but if you click on "community" "forum categories" and the scroll way down to "international real estate" you'll find what you're looking for.

Did you find an international property that you were seeking? 

It creates an advantages tax structure for you since you can move money back and forth between the real estate or the business and charge yourself what you need internally. 

Hi Ian,I was just accepted into the MSIRE (MS International Real Estate) program at Florida International University. 

Waiting for international travel to pick back up would really help!

Hello, I have a prospect tenant who isn't from the states and seems like a great candidate, but I'd like to do my due diligence and do a standard application which included a credit and background check. Most websites...
