Oman is quietly emerging as one of the Gulf region’s most compelling – and underestimated – real estate opportunities. Unlike some of its flashier neighbours, Oman isn’t chasing global headlines with record-breaking skyscrapers or high-speed mega-projects. Instead, it offers a more measured, sustainable proposition with a focus on nature, lifestyle and long-term value. Ambitious national […]
No matter how many ways you can diversify your global investment portfolio, few options are as reliable in generating returns as real estate. However, investing in real estate can bring more benefits than good returns and rental yields. The world of real estate investment is brimming with opportunities in 2025. Some countries have rapidly rising […]

From transparent pricing to the wide availability of rental agents and support services, the US offers a structured real estate ecosystem, making it an attractive destination for foreign investors. However, some international buyers lack familiarity with Western markets and may not fully understand the process of investing in real estate in the US. Prospective investors […]
Let’s talk about cheap real estate. Whenever we talk about ultra-cheap properties in countries like Georgia, Cambodia, Armenia or Egypt, people often ask why they shouldn’t just buy properties for the same cost in countries like Italy or Spain instead. After all, those countries are more developed, and don’t they offer dirt-cheap real estate to […]

Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia A mistake people often make when doing business abroad is taking the rules of the game they are used to playing by and trying to apply them to the rest of the world. The problem? The rest of the world might not play by the same rules. This is especially true […]
Last Updated July 27, 2020 Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Recently, I attended a talk by a financial guru who specializes in diversification. Although he had plenty of good suggestions, I noticed that all of the mutual funds and other investments that he mentioned were located in the United States.One of the largest problems that I’ve noticed […]
Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Four years ago, I was sitting at a cafe after meeting an attorney. Over the next four years, this attorney would become one of the best in my network as well as a good friend. I had met with him about buying Georgia real estate, and he referred me to a […]
Dateline: Tbilisi, Georgia It seems that everyone wants to know which country is “the best” for real estate investing these days. While I get this question on a regular basis, the answer isn’t as simple as it seems. As I look around my beloved Georgia where I’m currently involved in numerous real estate ventures, I […]
In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes,’ Benjamin Franklin, one of the most revered founding fathers of the United States, famously observed. Far be it from the Nomad Capitalist team to pick a fight with the man who ‘tamed lightning’, but we respectfully disagree with at least part of his most famous […]
The Nomad Capitalist Trifecta Strategy is the perfect plan for those who want to stay globally mobile while establishing bases in certain countries. If you’re becoming exhausted by the perpetual traveller lifestyle, it’s ideal. This strategy, which encourages you to pick a few of your favourite places and settle down, will generally involve securing a […]
Dateline: Barcelona, Spain Here’s a reality check: all investments carry some risk. Whether you’re in your home country or traveling the world to find investment opportunities, there is always risk. I won’t deny it, every time I’m about to do a deal on something I’ve never done before, I get a little nervous. Any time […]
Dateline: Phnom Penh, Cambodia Frontier markets offer a unique investment opportunity. Disconnected from the rest of the world and far less reliant on the global monetary system than most others, these countries offer a less-traveled path to protecting your wealth. The reason for this is because, more often than not, a combination of immense growth […]
While most of Europe is facing an economic crisis, from Spain’s youth unemployment rate of around 50%, to the collapse of the Russian Ruble, Poland is one of the very few countries on the continent that actually has good prospects. There’s no such thing as a “recession-proof” country, but Poland is about as close as […]
Colombia is seen by many as a lawless, dangerous place filled with drug cartels and violent crime – but while the country was the playground of Pablo Escobar during the 1970s through the 1980s, this couldn’t be any further from the truth in today’s world. Because of this common misconception, property buyers in Colombia have […]
Dateline: Semarang, Indonesia Jakarta’s real estate market has been in turmoil for several years now, undergoing the biggest increase in real estate prices of any world city, in 2012 and 2013. It has been outperforming cities that are well-known for their rapidly expanding real estate market, like Dubai and even New York. Although property price […]
Dateline: San Marino As of today, I’ve now been to all five of Europe’s so-called “micro-states”: tiny sovereign countries ranging from 0.3 to 62 square miles in size. Each has become fabulously wealthy by catering to the rich as a place to live or bank and move capital. San Marino, for instance, is fully surrounded […]
Dateline: Monte Carlo, Monaco For years, Monaco has been a bastion of wealth and success. The Monte Carlo Casino in the city state’s main square is a legend of James Bond status. In the 1980s, this tiny sovereign nation – all 0.6 square miles of it – was so flush with cash from the casino […]
Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Look outside the large windows in my home here in Kuala Lumpur and you’ll see all kinds of developments going up. To be honest, spending almost all of my time in the emerging world has made me quite used to this kind of thing. New construction is happening all of the […]
Most investments come with expenses, but if you choose carefully, an annual tax doesn’t have to be an expense for your real estate investment. A number of countries around the world don’t charge property tax at all, including some attractive destinations with additional tax perks. In this guide, we’ll examine countries with no property tax […]
These days, more and more sovereign countries are offering citizenship by investment programs to those seeking a second passport. The process is simple: for example, you can invest a six-figure sum in one of a number of Caribbean nations, and you can become a bona fide citizen there in anywhere from three to twelve months. The long-running St. […]
Dateline: Sigulda, Latvia If you’re a property owner or real estate agent in Vancouver or Toronto, you just got screwed. We discussed earlier this week why I prefer investing in emerging market real estate. Even though emerging markets may seem to offer less security, the reality is that a country with Big Government is the […]
Dateline: Riga, Latvia As they say: you snooze, you lose. Truer words cannot be spoken when it comes to international diversification and the topics we discuss here. One of those topics, for example, is the importance of getting a second residency and working toward a second citizenship. Here in the Baltic states, Latvia has been […]
Dateline: Klaipeda, Lithuania Earlier this year, Latvia — Lithuania’s Baltic state neighbor to the north — gave up the Latvian lat and adopted the common Euro currency. Normally, I’m not a big fan of unions or government alliances. I want governments to be as small and splintered as possible — forced to compete with each […]
Dateline: Merida, Mexico The flight from Mexico City was about as good as one can get. Interjet is one of the newer airlines in Mexico challenging the Aeromexico monopoly, and the service really shows. Despite being in the air for barely an hour, we were treated to an array of free snacks, soft drinks, and […]
Dateline: Managua, Nicaragua I just got what could be one of the most insulting emails of my life. Like you, I spent years trapped in the notion that I should keep everything I owned under one “roof”, so to speak. That meant that all of my savings, my assets, my businesses, and everything I owned […]
Dateline: Manila, Philippines It’s been eight months since I was last here in the Makati central business district of Manila. It’s amazing how much has changed since then. Several expats have argued that Manila shouldn’t have ranked fourth on my list of most livable cities in Southeast Asia. However, those expats are looking at the […]
Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In fact, I like it so much that I dubbed it the third most livable city in booming Southeast Asia — and the most livable city when you exclude the highly pricey Hong Kong and Singapore. While many think the […]
Reporting from: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia A few months ago, I met with several expat entrepreneurs in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Among all of the business talk, they threw out one local investment idea: sign a long-term lease on a Western-friendly apartment. The reason was that rents on expat-friendly apartments in Vietnam has been going […]
Reporting from: Bangkok, Thailand Property is all the rage here in Bangkok. In the last fifteen years or so, the country has seen a major recession, the bird flu and a coup. And, after each, property prices haven risen. I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of real estate investing here. The industry […]
We frequently discuss easy ways to get a second passport. When people hear that I zip through the diplomatic line using a government-issued Global Entry card when entering the Land of the Free, they want to know ways they can have access to diplomat-like perks of their own. Of course, having a second passport is […]
Reporting from: Makati, Philippines The real estate market here in Manila is exploding. Everywhere you turn, there’s a sign for a new development. Condos are the thing in this city of twelve million people – space is limited – and it seems everywhere you turn, there’s a new one going up around you. Donald Trump […]
Reporting from: Phoenix, Arizona Sometimes it’s easy to understand why we keep making the same mistakes over and over again. And why there is another US real estate bubble coming. I like to use history to show examples of how governments have done the same economically disastrous things before, and how it turned out poorly. […]
