Beschreibung

Most investors stop at their own backyard, focusing only on local properties or domestic REITs. But real estate is a global market, and limiting yourself to one country means missing powerful opportunities—and taking on unnecessary risks.

Beyond Borders, Beyond Buildings explains how hobbyist investors can capture global real estate exposure without complexity. In plain, technically accurate language, you’ll discover how international REITs work, why global diversification matters, and how 1–2 carefully chosen funds can give you access to entire continents of opportunity.

You’ll learn the structural differences between regions, how currency and tax considerations play a role, and the simple systems that make cross-border diversification both accessible and rewarding.

If you want to strengthen your portfolio with global stability and growth while keeping things simple, this guide shows you exactly how.
