anywhere. Whether you’re looking for a holiday home or a profit-generating property, you don’t have to limit your search to your local market. Real estate investment opportunities can be found across borders.
DIVERSIFICATION Investors of all experience levels can appreciate the benefits of technology in their international real estate investment pursuits. However, seasoned international investors can also enjoy the diversification opportunities that come with investing globally. Spreading your property holdings across different mar- kets reduces risk and increases the value of your portfo- lio. Real estate diversification consists of: The market where the property is located. These include local, domestic & international housing markets. The property type. Such as land, single-family, multi-family, mixed use, etc. The currency the property is valued in. The strength of the legal tender in your desired market. With a diverse portfolio, you can potentially mitigate the issues that occur when one of the markets you’ve invested in experiences an economic downturn. When the economy is riding high, and the dollar is strong, you may be able to benefit financially from having your assets in these locations. If you’re looking to expand your property portfolio, you don’t have to limit your search to the next town over. With the help of technology and the advantages of diversifica - tion, you can make your mark in an international market. • Visit Hubzu.com/ThinkRealty to find and bid on properties in your area.
TECHNOLOGY IS ONYOUR SIDE Technology has made international investing easier than ever. Investors can gather important information about exchange rates, foreign economic conditions and more with a simple online search. Today’s ease of virtual access puts international investors in pursuit of American assets in a much more advantageous position than years prior. Not only can you conduct market research online, you can also leverage technology to tour properties virtu- ally, place bids and work remotely with real estate agents who are local to your desired market. BID& BUYONLINE The abundance of online resources can be overwhelm- ing, but luckily, there are platforms available to interna- tional investors that are designed to consolidate informa- tion and simplify the bidding process, no matter where in the world you’re bidding from.
