I was binge watching your videos when the question of acquiring property and what happens to the property when one dies. Please do a video on Wills and Trusts. Thank you Prof.
Loved this video, you really addressed many concerns I've had in the back of my mind with establishing such a global lifestyle. Please do address the estate issues with a future video if you can.
I keep one very beautiful house with a huge garden in Chiang Mai. Is spend 5 months of the year there and then I have 4 smaller places around the world. Some in European cities. Apartments are easy to keep. Even though you need to clean them upon arrival. Cleaning the places is most of the hassle . In Chiang Mai I get a cleaning women in for a months to clean the place from top to bottom and that usually then takes care of it for the rest of the year. In the other places I do some of the cleaning myself . The biggest problem has been Covid and getting the papers and permissions to cross borders.
Honestly I'm doing this for estate planning purposes anyway. I got gypped by family after my mom died - I was just a kid so I didn't fight the sale of the family house. Totally screwed my little brother and I out of a home and a base we could have built upon. Now I'm aware of how super important it is to have a "family home" and a bolthole for when the shif hits the tan and your kids or close family need something stable to fall back on. I think the answer lies in trusts and LLCs, but they're different everywhere so getting a global perspective will be very helpful.
in the philippines its very difficult to remove informal settlers(squaters)from a property. you have to go to a very long process in the court and the most biggest problem is that you have to pay each of them just to go away from your property.
In Australia squatters can legallyvtake over the titke ownership via court after prooving they lived in that property for over certain set number of years, like 9 or 13yrs, dont remember now.and if they csn prove it, which is really easy by registering that address with bank or driving licence/ photo id card. Few years ago bum squatter claimed a terrace near Sydney city/ cbd via court and won the case becoming a millionaire overnight. Need someone on the ground to manage property or coming often plus have a title and property insurance with the Sentinel or First Title insurance to avoid pitfalls like that
I was wondering about the security at your homes when you're not around. I'm looking at property in Montenegro but much further into the countryside than Tivat. I'm worried that since the locals will probably figure out that the newly purchased property owner is a foreigner, and that I might not be present all the time, that my home might be a target. And yes, more on Estate planning please.
@@Jack__Reaper I feel like that would make a legal situation work against him if the issue ever arose. I would think that a good security camera and maybe hiring a property manager to check the house every week would be a more practical idea than any gay-related ideas.
@@Jack__Reaper I'm not sure if you're being serious but I'll entertain your question as I find it humorous. No. The property manager should be respected and well trusted in the local areas so that you have a strong defense in any legal situation.
Yes, please put together a video on estate planning and also buying insurance, especially healthcare. Do you buy into all the countries healthcare that you live in, or do you have a global plan? Pros/Cons?
I think we have similar personalities because having multiple properties that nobody else uses is strongly appealing to me. The “problems” others see in this do not sound like problems to me. Ultimately people need to do what works best for their unique lifestyle and personality characteristics.
A loosely appointed building leader collects money for the bills. Or in some older Georgian apartments, you need to insert a small coin to use the elevator.
Andrew...I follow you since de beginning. Right now every body in the world talks about "the big crisis, the big one is coming"..How are you preparing for a crisis??? I think, right now, best topic is how invest to stay safe against world wide crisis. ¿cash?Gold?Crypto?Real estate? index funds? all of the above?
Thank you so much for this discussion. Apologies for nitpicking but can you guys lower the sound levels on the intro? It’s a lot. Again though, have been wondering this subject exactly
For all my US rentals I use a device I got online that simply plugs in and emits a signal that drives rodents and pests away. It isn’t detectable to the human hear but it’s highly effective for pests (ie, rats in Chicago are no longer a concern for me). Give this a shot if you have a property abroad that you want to ensure you’re the only occupant of
Andrew, in your opinion which are the best countries to buy real State where you are treated best and have value for money...As you mention Montenegro,Georgia and Malasia...Anymore??
Any thoughts on how medium-long term travel restrictions factor into a multi-national lifestyle? While people contend with their fears over health risks that affect a minor, almost negligible percentage of the population, a set of much larger risks is growing in the background. These are regulatory risks, which have just shot straight through the roof, and show no signs of abating. Some long-term change is a virtual certainty. Both as to the availability of cost-effective travel, and as to the unknowns of government-ordered shuttering of entrepreneurial activity, attempts to quantify risk are at the moment nearly incalculable. That translates inevitably to higher costs.
The Single Dad Nomad $30K is a tough amount to start with unless you want to live in a third or fourth tier city. You can still buy in Tbilisi for that price, although it’s tough now.
@@nomadcapitalist Okay thanks. Sometimes I feel like I'm in too low of an income bracket right now to be watching your channel but I still find a lot of use in your videos. Aiming for that six-figure range to benefit even more of the nomadic lifestyle!
Thanks for some great information. I am just starting my property portfolio. I am considering using the properties as an Airbnb to generate income When I am not there. Then I want to reinvest the income from the Airbnb to expand my portfolio and indulgent other investments. What do you see as to potential pros and cons of the strategy?
@@ninozah I would, fortunetaly shoeless problem is not actual any more as opposed to homelessness. It is quite poor analogy. Houses are scarce and owning multiple of them rise prices artificially leaving so many people out.
I see no moral issue. Homeless people aren't going to pay the taxes, utilities, insurance, etc. If you want to solve homelessness then join a social program and vote for an improved economy for job growth but don't blame people like Andrew for working hard and growing wealth through real estate.
It’s not so much about the homeless issue. It’s more about rents increasing in cities all across the world. Airbnb short term rental does it already, and rich people not renting out apartments only makes it worse. At least with Airbnb’s everyone benefits - with empty apartments, it’s simply a waste. But I also believe people should be allowed to do whatever it is that they want. If this is easier and better, then awesome for him. :)
The morality would obviously depend on the jurisdiction. In some places, foreign ownership is restricted; e.g., in Thailand foreigners collectively can own only 49% of a building; in Malaysia, foreigners are subject to a price floor that is above what most of the property costs, and developers are required to build protected affordable properties in order to get the permit to build luxury properties. In systems like those, the presence of foreign buyers is directly responsible for the existence of affordable properties for the locals. London is a different animal altogether.
Simply put, a great video. Very insight and informative. Precisely the questions I wanted answered, namely property management and all the potential gremlins that can with it (risk management). I have whole list of questions regarding this based on my own experience of owning properties. How do you find property manager and what are they prepared to do? For example what if the washing pipe leaks and goes into apartment below? Or if washing or another appliance goes faulty, who finds a replacement and replaces? What if the utility company over charges you? Who chases up the utility company? Do you need to know the laws and rights in that jurisdiction? How do you communicate with them in English? etc etc. Happy to email all my questions through your website.

Also do you have to multiple filing cabinets in each location/ residence to track and file all utility bills and correspondence from local and central government agencies?

Would love to hear more about estate planning from you Andrew.
It’s possible to install cameras etc to allow you to monitor a property over the internet. Do you do this, please, or not - and, in either case, why?

Fantastic information !
Thanks much.

I’ve been living this life style in the US and the property taxes and other expenses led me to rent it out. I need to buy international.

Estate planning: go to places with no inheritance taxes, for one. And using a company is generally a good idea abroad.
A little geeky, but it works. Einstein said "I don't memorize my phone number because I have a phone book"
Did he just say, "put the cockroach guard down"? Where the heck is that? :)
👍 more estate planning would be good.
Very interested in estate planning!
Great stuff. Applies to multiple homes/properties in the same country. For me, its Thailand...
definitely interested in estate planning
Yes, please video on estate planning
do you have cars at your houses and if you do how do you maintain them
The transaction and maintenance costs would kill any investment gains on these places.
Where in the world would be a good place to set up a first home base for $30,000?

Breakers... You can never go wrong with breakers..
Wouldn't it be easier to invest in REITs and live on dividends
Do you prefer condo or house
Oh yes, the cockroach guard. I forgot about that.
HOA is the biggest scam of buying a condo.
Sure, it is easier to COME to your own apartment, but to deal with all the bill paying, cleaning, maintenance etc. is a nightmare.
Didn't you just buy a place in Bogota? Colombia is wrought with real estate fraud, and it takes on average almost 3 years to enforce a contract there.
Where you investing in Colombia?
Why not buy a tri or quad? Tenants become the best watchguards
I didn't hear mail? If Retired and no business who gets your mail?
What on earth is a “cockroach guard?”
Where are the best places in the world to avoid squatters???
Sometimes we should just ignore them & live our life. Can’t get stressed over $10 late payment fees or something silly like that.
I am poor so acquiring property in cheap places where I can afford to live.
Have you ever rented any of your properties through Airbnb? If yes, how was the experience?
I briefly tried it, but am not currently. I may try it on some new "Tier D" properties entering the portfolio in 2020.
