Rent vs. Buy

As a rule, you should always rent first when investing during retirement. Spend some time in the area where you want to invest. Get to know the people. Search for availability of transportation, proximity of grocery stores and entertainment. Do the same in other areas. The last thing you want is to discover the perfect place after having purchased somewhere else. Rent first. Then when you've found a deal you can live with, buy.


Cheap places to Invest Overseas
Broaden your horizon when investing during retirement. New emerging markets are showing up that are inexpensive with sound investment promise. Places such as Chile and Argentina are good spots to put your money to work.

Keep in mind rising markets may change the playing field. Argentina has seen rapid growth in the past few years which increases investment prices.

Do your research first. Our global investment market has seen huge and sometimes volatile changes worldwide. There are great opportunities for those willing to take some risks. If ever there was a time to invest, it is now.

Travel Tips
You may need to travel frequently as a result. And that may take a bite out of your investment capital. Take advantage of affordable travel strategies to save money when traveling abroad.


Opening a Business Overseas
Europe cannot compare to the growth expansion of the United States in the last decade. But they are now in the beginning stages of a growth expansion, unlike the U.S. This could mean good news for small businesses.


Choosing a Retirement Location
When choosing a retirement location overseas, make a list and narrow it down to your top ten. Research transportation costs, seasonal temperatures, and local taxing. But don't spend years analyzing and second-guessing yourself.


Tax Retirement Planning Overseas
If you receive a social security check, you must file a tax return. Whether you retire overseas or across the street. Do you still have to pay taxes then? Maybe not.

It all depends on your adjusted gross income. Your new country of residence also requires you to pay taxes. Yet you can significantly reduce your overall tax burden to the point of being tax-free.


Establishing Residency Overseas
Even when establishing residency overseas you still continue to be a citizen of your own country. Even if you are no longer a resident there.
