International Real Estate Investments

The purpose of this book is to build a case for investing in international real estate focusing on single-family homes. In so doing, this comprehensive comparative study takes into consideration transaction costs, taxation, as well as regulation and other institutional settings. Analyzing not only the return performance of international residential markets, but also the benefits and drawbacks of such investments in comparison to traditional assets, i.e. stocks and bonds, over a long-term investment horizon of twenty years adds additional insight on investments strategies into the mainly untouched area of single-family real estate returns on different continents and markets.
