Enjoy the content here. I'm an expat in Central America for 17 years. I bought a shack for $1000 and remodeled it for 10k. Life is good and what I have money can't buy. Life is what you make it. Good hunting everyone.
Thank you for your comment. This is exactly what I thought myself.... I mean, I watch Mister Henderson's videos for quite some time now. I do understand whom his clients are but I doubt that his clients watch UA-cam to learn about these countries. Instead I figure they just call him and schedule an appointment. This is what I would do if I had a million dollar or more. And to be honest, a $1000 per m2 is heardly cheap. I live in an EU country and I hardly feel safe. All I look for is a place where the government takes their (low) taxes and don't bother me more any further and keep their woke ideas to themselves (if they have any). But with your message proves that it can be done. I would love to learn from you. And with me, many others. Perhaps you could make a few video's about how you did it, your experiences in your country. In any case, I wish you lot's of love and luck.

Yes, buying a property for $1000 / meter is great. If I invest somewhere I want to be able to walk around with my mobile without risking getting robbed.
While moving abroad, Beware of Lifestyle Creep-- I watch people from USA move to Panama. They buy home close to beach while they were in subdivision in Utah. They go out to dinner nightly while they used to eat at home. Then complain that Life Style Finances are not better.
Last year we were looking for a new place to live and decided for Panamá, happy with the decision and think it will stay like this. There is so many nuances to pick a place and so many preferences! Make list by importance of what you want and need.....then go and visit......and enjoy 😉
thank you for covering the 5 year multi entry visa for thailand a while back - that was SO EASY to do $400 and just a few proof docs and now i have a bug out option if i need it
You are forgetting a major one on the list - ITALY! Super cheap and incredible lifestyle , beautiful Italian people who are ready to welcome foreigners, unlike the French for instance. I bought 3 apartments - all approximately 50-60 thousand euros each. All with mountain or sea view , Tuscany , sorrento and puglia
I looked into Italy, and yes, there are cheap properties, but they are that way for a reason. As a non-resident, you have to pay yearly land taxes, which residents don't pay. If you rent out a place, it's a renter's paradise, with renters' rights being higher than landlords'. It's a high-tax socialist country that loves red tape and bureaucracy. It's nice to visit, but investing there is a tough place to make any money.
I’m so glad I became a Mexican national through my dad. Moved to Mexico in April 2024 and crazy how many beautiful homes that go for less than $150,000 that would easily go for a million or more back in Texas.
@@e.allancollins3532 Places like Guanajuato, Querétaro, Atlixco, Puebla, San Miguel de Allende. Best part is that the weather is like spring all year round in most of these parts. No crazy temperature swings like back in Texas. 😆
The problem with Brazil is public safety. Yes, Florianopolis and overall the whole state of Santa Catarina can be safer compared to other parts, but the north east of the country can be quite dangerous
@@YoLow-4shonot a good comparison. Plenty of very safe places in the US. A better one is "which is safer walking at night in Rio de Janeiro or Detroit?"
I’m an American expat for +20 years. Public safety is an issue in ANY large metropolitan in any country. The key is to know your city. For instance, There are parts of São Paulo which are perfectly safe while others I wouldn’t dare explore. But to the point if the video, Brazil is an awesome place to live!!! Btw, I own an online escrow service for real estate transactions, so If anyone ( Brazilian or foreign) would like to know more, please let me know.
I did very well in Brazil. I been visiting Brazil annually for the past 25 years. From my experience, Brazil is rapidly improving. Most Brazilians can see the change on the ground but visiting once a year I can see the snap-shot changes; better roads, bigger cars, better services. I bought a rural property in SP state, during the COVID scare. It was a great deal. The exchange rate was 5.7 Brl to the dollar and Realestate was in the dump. Shortly after I bought, I had an unsolicited offer to purchase the property for a double what I paid. I rejected it because I have big plans. The small town is rural and poor, but people take pride in the city. I see no trash, graffiti, or vengeance. I feel very safe, but I also don't draw attention to myself.
Rural Sicily. Houses start at 1 Euro... Literally.... Yes, it's a gimmick. You are buying the dirt and you are obligated to build. However, you can buy a move in ready grandma cottage 80-100 square meters for less than 100k.
True. You are most definitely gonna need a car. Oh, and food, drinks are very cheap compared to overhere. In rural Sicily. It's basically the government that wants to encourage people to come over in smaller villages. These villages are dying out. The same is true in Italy. Smaller villages. You literally can buy an old house for 1 Euro. However you have to renovate it within 5 years.
Real estate ownership comes with lot of liabilities and headaches. Best way is to rent as and where you wanna live and invest your money in more liquid asets
Not if you want to live somewhere with land you can control what happens on. If you could cope with living in an apartment, then maybe... not for me though!
Im an American living in Greece and besides the rent prices being low, its expensive. Everything costs the same as in the US but your paying in Euros and you have the additional bank and exchange fees. The people in Greece are friendly and most speak English , in the bigger cities.
Better in Romania, due to climatic change protection. No wild fires, no huge risk of floods, relaxed situation due to the fact that the country is in both NATO and UE. Especially in the North West side of the country, where there is no risk of earthquake and where the climatic changes are not affecting the area.
Wonderful video thank you. Speaking of Montenegro I was actually going to branch part of my business there and spoke with an attorney several months ago. It all seemed OK to me until I mentioned eventually getting a citizenship or a passport and he said that that is near impossible.
I am not sure about Brazil, I live in Portugal and we have a lot of Brazilians immigrating here due to the depreciating Real, Government overtaxation and unemployment Brazilians suffer in Brazil. Also Brazil has one of the highest homicide rates in the world.
That's the irony: a country that's not good for locals is usually a bargain for expats. As far as homicides go, with a country as large as Brazil generalisations aren't very helpful, although naturally even the safest places in Brazil won't be as safe as the shadiest corner of something like Singapore but definitely more than liveable if you follow precautions.
@@iKrivetko Have you ever been to Brazil or have Brazilians friends? I am just asking because I think you have idea what you are talking about. I have a lot of Brazilians friends who left Brazil exactly because of safety concerns. But sure go ahead and move there if you don't value safety and want to get that "bargain" that bad.
@@alquemir You're judging a place based on what some people say without most likely never ever setting foot there and seeing for yourself. A bunch of Portuguese people in France where I grew up say Portugal is a poor place. A lot of Portuguese people are also expats elsewhere and criticize Portugal. So go see places for yourself first before believing what others say...
I have been given several amazing opportunities, but at the time didn't see the value in it.. First one was in Belize, the locals found out we were looking for a two-acre property and in the mix was a lovely Island just over 2 acres with a very high center and already had fishing docks. they wanted $2500 cash or $5000 Belizean dollars. Months ago, I toured a beautiful NEW 3-bedroom 2 bath Mexican standalone home, which is rare in the area for only $50 grand usd. Deals do exist, but you have to be willing to drive around a lot because there are not many multiple listings in some countries. just individual sales.
Hey Andrew, I would like to see a video on the top 5 places to buy real-estate to make money either by buy and hold hold to sell later or by renting it out if you could thanks
Would be interested in frontier markets, what about people who don't like living in cities.. any places where can buy land in the countryside and build a home away from other people?
The issue is that the inexpensive places, although beautiful, lack infrastructure. The further from the city, the less services...things taken for granted elsewhere-rubbish removal, street maintenance, police, medical, shooting, etc...
Has anybody here moved out of the USA or split time between their and Japan? I know Japan has very cheap real estate(for an American at least) and especially cheap in the countryside and even a lot of coastal areas seems nice…. Always a train ride away from a city there, very safe, cheap, amazing culture(arguable to many) but compared to how depressing the USA is becoming I would happily take city life over there then any bigger city here…. The hurdle would be becoming a permanent resident there seems very tough but foreigners can buy up housing there pretty easily it seems like.
I'm in korea, next to Japan. Both countries are "cheap" because the currencies have tanked in recent years. If you do move here, realize you better have a USD or EURO income lined up. You don't want the yen or won. I'd say both are interesting places and unique cultures but huge demographic challenges. Very low birthrates
I want Japan to be part of my trifecta. I love Japan so much for the culture, cuisine, art, landscape, language, etc. However, from everything that I've read, unless you're talking about prime real estate in Tokyo, you have to have the right attitude in purchasing property. It's extremely unlikely you will ever get your money back in real estate (unless you convert it into an AirBnB kind of place for tourists). The Japanese will not buy the older places, and the famous/infamous akiya can easily become a money pit, riddled with problems like termite damage, rot from leaky roofs, being under code for earthquake safety, many are fire hazards, and even the removal of rubbish from the property can be very difficult and costly. Do tons of research up front and accept that you are renovating a place for your own enjoyment and not as an investment. Good luck!
@@itsnick37 my worry about living in Japan would be their justice system. I have no criminal record, I’m not looking to commit any crimes but still I worry about the things I’ve heard in regard to their hostage justice system.
Japan property may be cheap, but getting any sort of permanent way to settle is extremely difficult. Japan citizenship is near impossible and the taxes there are even more undesirable compared to America. You also need to speak Japanese to settle in any of the areas where property is 'cheap' so for most people, not a good deal.
Brazil, and even more here in Colombia, a depreciating peso, socialista governments, a down real state market, a tight money market, construction companies are going down, new laws prohibiting airb&b, kidnapping, and murdered way up, especially for Western men. Do you really want to invest in this type of country??
realistic and informative - we are german living in egypt for more than 10 yrs., (first cairo then hurghada) maybe i can ad as a woman its a good and safe place to live. yes its conservative: not much space for lgbtq...the downside: it can be confusing at times when it comes to bureaurocracy and a test to your patience when you need to get things done...beside that, compared to a western country, the social behaviour of people in general is less detoriorated
Conspicuous by Absence is Asia, where there has been a notorious condo overbuilding -> glut situation (multi-nation) for years. No bargains there? Why?
I wanted to ask how you fare in alot of these countries as far as launguage goes. Do you know a good bit of Spanish for Columbia, or say Greek for Greece etc., or have you been able to manage with a few words and a community where there are English speakers.
Latin America, middle eastern countries and some south pacific countries are on my radar for investment and even living wise, but I also wanted to give some educated advice to people when it comes to inflation most people think it only pushes prices up that is true, but it also will dramatically push prices down and further down in other places, places that are not on people radar as much will be the countries where property is more affordable and where prices will be more stable because it will have less foreign investors or not that many. The best countries for foreign investment though in my opinion will be the countries that also have strong currency's. The downside to this is the property prices will be higher but as an investor you will get a greater return sooner. Most people flock to southeast Asia because of the lower prices so it is easier to buy property but on the flip side it will take longer for you to get a return.
If you want a cheap and cool place to live just above Medellin in the cloud forest It's beautiful it's cheap and The air is fresh. Half hour away from the big city and 20 minutes from the international airport.

Hey Andrew, I notice that you don’t talk a lot about countries in Africa. I’ve heard that Kenya is nice or even South Africa. Cover that part of the world more!
From what I hear Montenegro also has very poor infrastructure. Poor roads, poor medical facilities (some with barely any doctors in them), sewage infrastructure is awful.... in my opinion it's not worth the price considering the other options you may have.
How about Africa? Africa generally has high taxes, but the cost of living and apartment prices are low. Many nice cities are also a lot safer than e.g. Medellin or Bogota.
Oh I'm looking to get an additional home in Georgia but I'm looking at Batumi instead of Tsibili. Batumi is awesome it's got beach, skyscrapers, amazing real estate deals, perfect getaway. Also looking at Montenegro, Budva area. Been there once on holiday and have yet to go to Batumi. Amazing hidden gems in my opinion. In my experience Corfu Greece was really expensive compared to Budva Montenegro, looking at prices for eating out and real estate at least. You did give me a great idea to circumvent Corfu's high prices; I can buy something in Albania across the water from Corfu hahah cheers lad Why would you want Montenegrin citizenship though if they don't allow dual citizenship? As an upgrade perhaps?
Africa has some excellent investment opportunities for real estate, and it's fortunate that it has been somewhat overlooked so far, preventing a surge of investors that could drive up prices. However, in the next five years, I believe it will become a highly desirable location, though by then, rising prices may make it less accessible for some."
Brazil is a great passport and a poor investment. If you plan to get Brazilian citizenship through real estate, do it and get out later (unless it becomes your dream life).
I don't know how northern cyprus differs but isn't that the country that literally just took money from people bank accounts to pay for bailouts? I wouldn't even step foot in a country that did that.
There is no south cyprus its called republic of cyprus ROC. North cyprus is only recognized by turkey they invaded the north in 1974 and ethnically cleansed the cypriots of greek culture there killed or sent them to the south gaza style. If you want to live in the muslim version of isreal gaza good luck plus most of the land there has no title deeds as the greek cypriots had their land and houses stolen. Their descendents in the south watch while turkish settlers enjoy their homes and develop their land. Frankly nomad capitalist should do his homework better then just spewing whatever looks like a deal doing everyone a dis service. ROC had a bailin theft forced by eu in 2014 tbey stole peoples money from banks. I dont recommend either side and i have lived in ROC side!! Its very poor value poor variety and sharks everywhere looking to rip you off
Cross the boarder to Northern Cyprus: is there a different feeling 😄! They asked me to rent an ankle bracelet & prepare for the "Convid" quarantine. No Thanks!
Yea, Northern Cyprus definitely ain't it. Anywhere that claims to be a separate country on disputed territory is a disaster waiting to happen. And you think you can throw in a 'free' EU passport? Yea, with naturalizing taking 8 years on disputed territory you'd be lucky if Northern Cyprus would still be part of the EU at that time.
Thailand, modern but traditional. You can buy condos but not property. Excellent medical, international foods , pizza and chicken or whatever u like . Stay Siam Square area too highbrow shopping
Would be careful with Northern Cyprus, even though the Republic of Cyprus claims the whole country, Northern Cyprus insists they are a separate entity. With naturalization in Cyprus taking 8 years before you can even apply for a Passport, who knows what the situation would be like then. In the past both sides have had civil unrest to ensure their sovereignty is safe.
Been there on holiday earlier this year, people super friendly interested in foreigners visiting their country and safe with old fashioned police on foot patrol everywhere in the cities. Also people appear honest and helpful, left my jacket in a cafe with car keys wallet and passport and the waiter ran along the street after us with the jacket so grateful. The picture we got from the locals was that all the baddies go abroad to make money and the good people stay at home.

Latin America, middle eastern countries and some south pacific countries are on my radar for investment and even living wise, but I also wanted to give some educated advice to people when it comes to inflation most people think it only pushes prices up that is true, but it also will dramatically push prices down and further down in other places, places that are not on people radar as much will be the countries where property is more affordable and where prices will be more stable because it will have less foreign investors or not that many. The best countries for foreign investment though in my opinion will be the countries that also have strong currency's. The downside to this is the property prices will be higher but as an investor you will get a greater return sooner. Most people flock to southeast Asia because of the lower prices so it is easier to buy property but on the flip side it will take longer for you to get a return.
If you want a cheap and cool place to live just above Medellin in the cloud forest It's beautiful it's cheap and The air is fresh. Half hour away from the big city and 20 minutes from the international airport.
I've revised my search criteria, and I think I'm pretty much set on outer Mongolia for the population density.

@@nomadcapitalist Perfect! Thank you!
In many of the most upscale neighborhoods in Cali up in the mountains the climate is cool(all year) and even cold in the second semester of the year (depending the time of the day): Santa Rita, Chipichape, Ciudad Jardin, Santa Monica just to name a few.
Would love to hear of the frontier markets you’re looking at for investment!

How do you feel about Tulum? I was there recently and it seems to be exploding, Aldea Zama particularly
North of UK, Liverpool, Manchester are also cheap regions….
yea I'd consider buying in Liverpool. moved there a couple years ago and its a nice city and v affordable. Coastal too.
Uk is finished. Unless you're muslim you'll get a free house... and money!
Shame the UK is becoming a 3rd world socialist state.
❤Frontier markets plz❤

Hey Andrew, I notice that you don’t talk a lot about countries in Africa. I’ve heard that Kenya is nice or even South Africa. Cover that part of the world more!
nobody is interested in moving there.
South Africa is a shithole
next to montenegro is bosnia, way cheaper than montenegro with undeveloped tourism potential & easy goin people
Buying is not easy though….
@@budget_nomad to my knowledge it is, or did I miss something ?
Sure, if you love Allah.
@@malanalan1 Allah is God. Do you hate God?
@@malanalan1 it's multicultural & Muslims aren't proselyte; you know nothing.
From what I hear Montenegro also has very poor infrastructure. Poor roads, poor medical facilities (some with barely any doctors in them), sewage infrastructure is awful.... in my opinion it's not worth the price considering the other options you may have.
Andrew, what do you think about Bulgaria?
Welcome to Greece 🇬🇷.. 🎉
Dubai is a very good option. It is very safe, less inflation, good connectivity, the UAE nationals are accommodating and good culture
please talk about frontier markets
How about Africa? Africa generally has high taxes, but the cost of living and apartment prices are low. Many nice cities are also a lot safer than e.g. Medellin or Bogota.
It dosent get better than south africa trust me
@@linathitywakadi5169 What do you like about S.A.? I have only been to Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia.
@@thomashilmersen711 come to cape Town, then go to Johannesburg then visit Durban the US dollar goes a long way this side
the cost of living in most african countries is way more expensive than we can think.
you're my hero
Hi very good information need to know more❤
I would like to know your opinion about buying property in Bahrain!
Thoughts on Bulgaria?
Oh I'm looking to get an additional home in Georgia but I'm looking at Batumi instead of Tsibili. Batumi is awesome it's got beach, skyscrapers, amazing real estate deals, perfect getaway.
Also looking at Montenegro, Budva area. Been there once on holiday and have yet to go to Batumi. Amazing hidden gems in my opinion.
In my experience Corfu Greece was really expensive compared to Budva Montenegro, looking at prices for eating out and real estate at least.
You did give me a great idea to circumvent Corfu's high prices; I can buy something in Albania across the water from Corfu hahah cheers lad
Why would you want Montenegrin citizenship though if they don't allow dual citizenship? As an upgrade perhaps?
Ecuador?
Hello, Yes Andrew, would love to here on frontier markets please.
Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/1L3psx8Xr1Q/v-deo.html
Africa has some excellent investment opportunities for real estate, and it's fortunate that it has been somewhat overlooked so far, preventing a surge of investors that could drive up prices. However, in the next five years, I believe it will become a highly desirable location, though by then, rising prices may make it less accessible for some."
No Albania?
Brazil is a great passport and a poor investment. If you plan to get Brazilian citizenship through real estate, do it and get out later (unless it becomes your dream life).
What about Argentina?
Interesting Chanel😊
Central America is amazingly affordable in terms of housing prices. If you make Western salaries, you can cough them up pretty easily.
Uzbekistan, kygerstan, khazakstan Moldova ,Turkiye
I don't know how northern cyprus differs but isn't that the country that literally just took money from people bank accounts to pay for bailouts? I wouldn't even step foot in a country that did that.
That's South Cyprus, the Greek part.
There is no south cyprus its called republic of cyprus ROC. North cyprus is only recognized by turkey they invaded the north in 1974 and ethnically cleansed the cypriots of greek culture there killed or sent them to the south gaza style. If you want to live in the muslim version of isreal gaza good luck plus most of the land there has no title deeds as the greek cypriots had their land and houses stolen. Their descendents in the south watch while turkish settlers enjoy their homes and develop their land. Frankly nomad capitalist should do his homework better then just spewing whatever looks like a deal doing everyone a dis service. ROC had a bailin theft forced by eu in 2014 tbey stole peoples money from banks. I dont recommend either side and i have lived in ROC side!! Its very poor value poor variety and sharks everywhere looking to rip you off
Cyprus
Montenegro is epic
What about Uruguay? Any beach cities besides Punta De Este ?
Living expenses?
Surprised Asia didn't make the list, are these countries really cheaper than Asia?
You’ve lost a lot of weight man. Looking good! Keep it up

Romania!
Wouldn't mind visiting many parts of the world, but to actually live there is another question!😢😊
why to bother? Move to Alabama. Very affordable, great houses, reasonably priced, and low property tax.
are you from Alabama? was actually looking there...
An island with a disputed border? Sure, sounds like a great place to invest.
Akiyas in Japan?
Cheap prices are correlated with great instability.
High prices are correlated great instability...look no further than the US
Can you do Laos please 🇱🇦
Cross the boarder to Northern Cyprus: is there a different feeling 😄! They asked me to rent an ankle bracelet & prepare for the "Convid" quarantine. No Thanks!
Yea, Northern Cyprus definitely ain't it. Anywhere that claims to be a separate country on disputed territory is a disaster waiting to happen. And you think you can throw in a 'free' EU passport? Yea, with naturalizing taking 8 years on disputed territory you'd be lucky if Northern Cyprus would still be part of the EU at that time.
Would love to buy in Spain, but won’t until they repeal their “squatter’s rights”.
Albania? Cheap real estate in Albania. Easy residency. Why not on the list?
+1
Why did you never ever mention Thailand?
Thailand, modern but traditional. You can buy condos but not property. Excellent medical, international foods , pizza and chicken or whatever u like . Stay Siam Square area too highbrow shopping
Frontier!

Italy 1 euro cant beat that...😅😊😊
7:13 in the 1990’s, a decent hotel room in Eastern Europe cost more than in the U.S., because there was such a lack of decent places.
Would be careful with Northern Cyprus, even though the Republic of Cyprus claims the whole country, Northern Cyprus insists they are a separate entity. With naturalization in Cyprus taking 8 years before you can even apply for a Passport, who knows what the situation would be like then. In the past both sides have had civil unrest to ensure their sovereignty is safe.
What is wrong with Albania?
+1
Been there on holiday earlier this year, people super friendly interested in foreigners visiting their country and safe with old fashioned police on foot patrol everywhere in the cities. Also people appear honest and helpful, left my jacket in a cafe with car keys wallet and passport and the waiter ran along the street after us with the jacket so grateful.
The picture we got from the locals was that all the baddies go abroad to make money and the good people stay at home.
2 happiest days of boating...the day I join the Yacht club and the day I get to marry a rich wonan or widow with the yacht...wish me luck
None of these are cheap…
My list GEORGIA, EGYPT, KENYA, BULGARIA AND TURKEY😊
Turkey is not cheap anymore. Turks are going to Greece for vacation.
@@Maxxx-ns3vf but it is only £80000 for an apartment in Alanya, plus it is easy to buy
Morroco,Tunisia,Cambodia,Ghana better option
@@nomorenews I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you are taking about....all these countries are complicated to buy and expensive
Georgia is a 5 year interest free payment plan for $30000, as is Kenya and Egypt.

Bargain schmargain. Even in many deinstrialized parts of the US, you can buy houses for much less than in a similar income place in e.g. Colombia.
