Our US clients benefit from a global investment approach and a network of professionals to help with any financial planning need. As an IAM client, you can always count on dealing directly with a financial advisor who holds the highest professional credentials in their field and who has the experience to take a proactive approach to offering guidance specifically tailored to your situation. As a non-US citizen living in the United States you face financial considerations that may be quite different from those in your home country. Pension plans, taxation of income and investments, estate tax, and retirement and education savings accounts work differently in the United States than in other countries. Furthermore, for individuals and families with assets in both the United States and other countries, it is necessary to consider the cross-border implications of managing these assets. Cross-border tax, estate planning, and portfolio management are highly specialized fields – at IAM we have in-house expertise and a global network of cross-border professionals who help our clients address such financial planning concerns.

Purchasing foreign is a significant moment for many American expats, however it's inevitably more complex than they anticipate.

Local legal systems and financing rules are different, US reporting obligations follow you, and currency fluctuations can erode your returns even if your property is appreciating. Real estate should also be contextualized within your wider cross-border financial planning.

Thousands of Americans living abroad invest in foreign real estate every year, as a home, a vacation property or plan B, or as an investment.

Foreign real estate involves more moving parts than back home, however. The legal system, and the purchase process and currency are often different, as are foreign financing rules and local taxes. This doesn’t mean that investing in global real estate is a bad idea, but it’s important to get informed and seek professional advice. Also, as with all investments, buying foreign real estate works best when approached as part of a broader financial plan rather than as a standalone or emotional decision.
