US expat in France nearing retirement, questioning if converting US retirement funds into real estate is the sole method to protect assets abroad.
Hi Ryan57, I wonder if building a diversified portfolio with international banks or bonds could be a good alternative. What options have you considered to balance risk and opportunity? It seems like a multi-strategy approach might work better than relying solely on property.
Relying exclusively on international property is risky and may not suit every investor’s profile. In my experience, a diversified approach helps mitigate risks associated with market fluctuations and regulatory changes. Balancing real estate with alternative investments, such as managed funds or international ETFs, offers more flexibility and may help maintain asset value over time. It is crucial to regularly review the investment strategy to adapt to changes in both local and international financial climates while considering professional advice for a comprehensive plan.
