Investing in foreign real estate: a primer

Article Abstract:

Investors in foreign real estate need to assess political and currency exchange risks as well as real estate risks. Political risks depend on the government actions of the country and can be managed using insurance, special deals, or by creating a relationship with local investors. Foreign exchange risks due to translation, economic, and transaction exposure can be hedged by using methods such as forward cover and futures market. As currency risk management can be very risky, all the potential losses and gains should be seriously considered.
