Welcome to another exciting episode of the Doctors Building Wealth podcast! Join Leti and Kenji as they share their journey from Lake Como in Italy, where they discuss the topic of going international and buying an Italian villa. Their goal has always been to create a life where they could own an Italian villa to use as a gathering place for friends and family, and this dream is now becoming a reality.

They explore the various reasons why some investors choose to buy rental properties in foreign countries, such as obtaining a golden visa for citizenship or residency, leveraging geographic arbitrage in affordable markets, benefiting from currency arbitrage, and diversifying their real estate portfolios across different countries.

Leti shares her experience of overcoming initial challenges in securing a loan for the Italian property and explains a unique syndication structure they devised to bring their dream closer to reality. This innovative structure allows passive investors to invest in the property and receive a return or stay in the villa for a certain period each year, while Leti and Kenji still have ample time to rent out the property as a short-term rental and make it a profitable venture.

They also highlight the potential tax benefits, such as accelerated depreciation, for foreign properties. The episode concludes with an inspiring message for real estate investors to explore various possibilities in international property investments and make their dreams of owning properties in different countries a reality.

Tune in to discover how you can embrace international real estate investments and create a life of travel and multiple rental properties around the world. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Leti and Kenji's experience and be inspired to take your real estate investment journey to the next level!
