by perceived economic volatility in South Africa.
These responses are not surprising, as we know that the economy is
not doing well. Many feel despondent when looking at the negative
returns on their retirement funds, and there is a lot of discussion about
international diversification. Local politics, rampant corruption and
the current Eskom crisis are also cause for concern.
How to make it happen
As South Africans we don’t usually brag about our green passport.
It’s not that we’re not proud to be South African – it’s more that our
passport doesn’t offer the same easy access and travel options as, for
example, an American or EU passport. These travel limitations can
sometimes make us feel that investing internationally is beyond our
reach, or that it is simply too complex to be worth the effort.
But investing in the overseas property market can be daunting no
matter what passport you hold. And it’s easy to be misinformed, or
to simply misunderstand international law, which is why it’s important
to partner with a property investment company that can help you
navigate through it all.
