Do you want oceanfront property, but the prices at the coasts here in the US make it out of reach?

Post-Pandemic, there is a mass exodus from the big cities. People are fleeing their cubicles in search of a digital nomad lifestyle and new places to call home.  And opening our eyes to an opportunity to expand our horizons—internationally, that is.

Whether you're a real estate investing pro or a novice, my guest has a solution.

Internationally, real estate developers need cash, and the investments are ripe for those willing to take a chance and invest in places that favorably compare with the most expensive destinations in the US, all with a lower price sticker.

Ronan McMahon is a global real estate scout, best-selling author on Amazon, and editor of Real Estate Trend Alert (RETA). He's spent the past 15 years scouting out properties for his subscribers in such locals as Latin America, Costa Rica, and Portugal, where prices are affordable, and the views are million dollar. Ronan has appeared in such publications as Forbes, The New York Times, and International Trend Alert.

Ronan joins me on this episode of The Wiggin Sessions to share why NOW is the best time to invest in real estate internationally, even while US interest rates are going through the roof. Listen in as he shares his top pick destinations and deals on unique properties you can get through RETA at lower prices than going through the retail market. Plus, where he's currently spending his real estate investment money.
