Expat Chat Episode 62 – Should An Expat Buy A Property Overseas?

Expat Chat Episode 62 – Should An Expat Buy A Property Overseas?

 

Welcome to the sixty second episode of #Expatchat where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat.

In today’s Expat Chat we discuss whether an Australian expat should buy a property as a principle place of residence when living overseas.

Australians have always had a love affair with property and one of the most commonly asked questions is whether they should buy a property overseas when they become an expat.

And the short answer to this is that it will depend on a number of circumstances including whether you are able to buy a property as a foreign citizen, your time in the country, and whether it makes financial sense.

A number of countries provide incentives to buy a property to live in as your principle place of residence however that reason alone should not be the deciding factor as to whether you do or don’t.
