Incorporating a foreign-based real estate property into your self-directed IRA real estate portfolio is a transaction allowed by the Internal Revenue Service that is to say they do not disallow IRA investments in real estate as long as you are properly set up with a self directed IRA company.
The reason not many people have done it is:
(a) they are not that interested in investing in other countries for lack of information about that country’s economic and political climate,
(b) a significant number of IRA advisers do not recommend it because of the visibility argument,
(c) custodial rules do not compel IRA custodians to offer foreign real estate as an investment option.
The opportunity to optimize a self directed IRA account for wealth accumulation may be jeopardized if IRA holder and would-be retirees do not look beyond their geographical borders to include a foreign property. A self-directed IRA real estate account can offer a wider-based global area for foreign real estate if properly set up. There are pockets and clusters of geographical entities worldwide Central America, some Arab countries (Dubai is a shining example), and the Asia Pacific regions where real estate property investing is going at a feverish pace.
There is world of difference between a competent self directed IRA advisor from others who are too parochial in their thinking and carry around a small town mentality. Since a properly set up self-directed IRA real estate account does not prohibit the acquisition of foreign-based real estate, then why should clients be deprived of the possibility of building assets with lucrative options outside of the Continental US?
This is what the self-directed component means clients have carte blanch to look into alternative investment possibilities. Millions of Europeans have, for a long time, looked outside their own borders, scooping up ski resorts in places like Spain and Portugal, Bulgaria, and Costa Rica. These countries have become so popular among foreign investors that properties have increased in value tremendously. Real estate developers and promoters are now on a scavenger hunt in less well-known countries so they can offer projects to interested investors including investors with a self directed IRA accounts.

Volcano explorations with Angry Planet & Dr Christopher Bean
My husband and I are planning a trip to Costa Rica and I find it completely daunting. There’s the central part, the mountains, the south pacific, the north pacific. He wants to dive and I want to explore nature. Neither of us are into roughing it nor are we 5-star resort people either. Any recommendations?
The Guanacaste area. That way he gets to drive from national park to national park and you get to see nature. Also, in the Guanacaste area you’ll be close to the Nicaraguan Rio San Juan where you can cross the border into Nicaragua and visit either Los Guatuzos (a beautiful and amazing protected area full of biodiversity, a RAMSAR wetland) or Indio Maíz Biological Reserve and make little side trips to Ometepe (Largest volcanic island in a lake in the world) in Lake Nicaragua (2nd largest lake in Latin America) and other islands in the Lake include the Solentiname islands, it is an archipelago and on Mancarrón and San Fernando Island there is an artisan community.

Recommendations for best all-inclusive resort for a cheap price?
I’m looking to renew my vows on a beach at an all-inclusive resort somewhere in the Caribbean. I’m thinking Cabos or Playa del Carmen in Mexico, Costa Rica, etc…
Do you have any suggestions for great wedding locations at a reasonable price and good wedding packages?
I’m looking to spend under $5,000 for my wedding and accomodations.
Weddings down there are very inexpensive. My sister got married on St Thomas and the wedding itself was only about 600-800. It’s the all inclusive that will be difficult.
Try pricing Sandals, Riu, Almond, and Secrets. Those are usually the most common ones and therefore are more likely to have lower prices.
Good luck!
