Andrew It shows that you are from a thrifty family who respect the value of money and use savings for independence not for showing off and appearance..
Another aspect: The money you spend on a hotel will be gone forever, wheras the value of an apartment you bought may grow substantially over time, especially in emerging countries.
I wish I had planned for multiple homes when I was younger. I would have intentionally saved and invested differently. The idea of being able to customize your space and not schlep belongings from one home to another is attractive.
I do love this idea of not having to drag luggage back and forth to different countries. That is a whole different standard of living than most of the people that I know. Having to get on planes and go through security and they confiscate your items also overhead baggage or check ed luggage. I would love to take a flight with no luggage at all.
It would be much easier to just carry luggage. Instead he has to book a flight which might be 30 hours after when he wanted to leave, travel to the airport, get there 2 hours early, go through security, board a 6 hour flight, go through security, travel from the airport to his home (at God knows what time) go to his home just to get his clothes which he didn't carry, and then have to travel to the airport, wait 2 hours, board a flight to his next intended destination. If he carried a suitcase he could have just spent an extra night where he was, and then onto his next destination.
Hmmmm. And having different computers on each place. No need to move it across countries. No risk on having it through security controls. Just a tablet for the move, with only essential information.
This is the way to do it, I do the same (NYC, Kailua Hawaii, Brisbane and Tokyo)! Mobility is real wealth. I often wonder why anyone would buy a mansion, not only are they are an insane amount of maintenance, you have to fill it with hundreds of thousand $$'s worth of junk as well. btw ... Istanbul rocks!
Don't forget CA's new "mansion tax" when you sell, which facilitated Mark Whalberg selling his mega-mansion at a huge loss just to beat it before he relocated to Nevada.
One that's smart you diversify your Real Estate across the globe. Two when you tired of the country or the neighbors 😅 you can just getaway! It sounds fabulous good for you 👍 😊
The place where you are influences you. Maybe you’re not aware of it but subconsciously you’re affected. It’s good to take that to the conscious level and be able to control your environment.
How do you manage these properties? Do you have a security so nobody will break into your house? Do you switch off water and electricity, close the door and just leave a house for a couple of months?
Im also curious to know. My guess is that he talked with a property management company in each country and they will take care of his properties while he's away.
Exactly my #1 question. It’s 6x the admin (and 6x the rental opportunity cost, if he doesn’t rent or Airbnb them while he’s away), that’s the downside. I have thought of doing this, but it’s practicalities like this that I haven’t yet figured out.
One thing Ive found handy is that in some places you can get put on a "dark list" where the local police will swing by and check on your house for free as part of normal rounds. Its one more layer of security for a property you arent in for a while.
The worst part of hotels is the intrusion into your space and the fact that they took the sheets in every morning and the fact that their cross-contaminated or using products that you don't want to be smelling. In addition most of these hotels are under some kind of 5 g
Elizabeth Warren billionaire tears mug example is perfect. So few people understand this concept of energy. I had to live in NYC for a few years and only considered rentals where I could renovate in a smart and cost-effective way that made me love my home. People think this is crazy.

Sorry about your mug Andrew. Stay strong 💪 similar things have happened to me. I never let anyone in until after I leave. Don’t want the cleaning ladies going through my belongings.
Hi i have same Mindset. İ own Propertys in 4 different Countries and living always in each for 3 month per year. *Germany🇩🇪 *Turkey 🇹🇷 *Philippines 🇵🇭 *Japan🇯🇵
I totally get your approach. I grew up in Hawaii, went to law school in California, and my wife is from Japan. So it would be great to have a tiny place in each location and spend 4 months a year in each place. It's better to live like Mongol warrior and drag your yurt behind you where ever you go.
Paying bills and security are the few things I worry about with having a property abroad. I have a similar personality to where I would have smaller properties than a bigger one. I already have 5 acres in the USA that's my part of a bigger 23-acre parcel of land. Managing that is more than enough for me. Overseas, I don't want that much to live on.
To my mind property tax means you do not really own the property yourself .Ireland were i live does not have a property tax but its coming in here .Thailand where i also lived does not have a property tax on private houses and Condos .
Sometimes it's so low though you don't mind and don't feel a loss of ownership. Like St. Kitts is 0.25% - 1/4 of a percent - plus a front end exemption.
I couldn't agree more. I would love to have? Homes. Around the world. Also yeah it they do cost a fortune to have fancy house in north america or western europe.
We are almost at the point where we can retire and go live inexpensively overseas. Love your channel and message so much because you really know what you want, and embrace that wholeheartedly. I want to live where I can walk to an art museum or beautiful architecture with my sketchpad, and I think that will be my equivalent of the good wardrobe waiting for you in your closet in every location. I hope you can find a replacement for your billionaire tears mug. Cheers!
NC is about having a second or third home. So the boss should have multiple homes in multiple countries. Practically one home in a second country is fine.
I was about to comment that I had read an interview some years back with Chris Carter, creator of "The X Files" in which he discussed his preference for multiple smaller properties - "jewel boxes" he called them - rather than one big one. Then I googled to see if I could still find the interview. I couldn't, but I did find an item about how Carter just sold his Santa Ynez home - a 6,500 SF ranch on 130 acres. Seems more treasure chest than jewel box to me!
Hello , I very agree on your point of view. I bought 3 apartments in Cape Verde first line at beach. Good maintained , just for 50k euros each. The good thing is that 2 % tax leads to total cost buying less than 3 per cent. No malaria, low criminality, language Portugese. Lovely and cheap food and drinks. You can pay with euros and the currency is very stable. Friendly people , nice music. Young population. international orientated, The country is easy to access. Temperatures whole year between 25 and 30 degrees with a sea breeze. After visiting Gran Canaria for 5 years with their hostility to tourists is this Cape Verde a perfect place and investment. You can easily become a resident .
I agree with this. I have a sister that has one big home who is always strapped for cash and asks to borrow money from me. Its funny the people who want to show theyre doing well when in reality its all for show.
Thanks for the excellent content, always relevant, and usually accurate. This one makes sense to me, but I spend more nights away from my primary residence than “home”.
I've always had this question: what happens to your house the remainder time you're not living there? Do you just close it off and have staff to keep it in check? Doesn't it feel a bit... wasteful? idk if that's the word I'm looking for, but quite a shame. Anyways, I adore your videos, you inspire me to aim for a better life, one with more freedom and options! Hope the energy of the universe always flows with you
He might be in the high-end areas where he doesn't have to worry about poachers and such or in gated communities but I wish you would have answered that question because I agree.
me and Andrew have the same mindsets, I cannot work in a place that is chaotic, vibe is off, toxic, and people taking stuff. My issue with AIRBNB is the privacy as some people might install hidden camera in your airbnb place. I have started researching diff passports as our country PH have a lot of limitations and requiring visa to hop from one place to another. Also, following what my late grandpa did, to have an apartment or some rental properties, this is my aim since I work remotely as well. The mindset is there, I'm only missing millions of $$$ haha. It's hard to maintain and clean mansions, so this is not for me, townhouse or flats are okay as long as some people are willing to rent it. My main concern is the capital gains tax and rental property tax as well of other countries, esp EU.
I totally Agree! Although my wealth is no where near many subscribers I enjoy the channel. I live in NYC and am Amazed that people live in Westchester or Nassau Counties. The taxes are 20k on average.
What if you were to buy or build an apartment complex in these areas and keep one of the units for yourself? Then you could sorta have a "free place to live."
A Boxabl home is hardly a shack. It is a well-designed, compact tiny home and I really think that Elon Musk should be respected for selling his mansions to live in the very homes, even if tiny, that he is selling to others. Some of the designs are very on-trend, very functional, and would be conducive to a lifestyle where one can focus on business. One's choice of decor can vary and he may not care for elegance and fine tea. However, he is not living in a shack.
Nice! After decades of world travel I got pretty sick of the bustle, cities, traffic, lines, people, and concrete .. but I still have itchy feet, crave wilderness, high activities, & adventure in general. My solution: a kick-ass RV & Properties north, south, and west (yeah, east of me sucks for the most part.) There, now you know everything 😂
Six properties in different countries mean massive operating costs (property taxes, insurance, electricity, water, gas, garbage collection tax…) and a massive head ache to manage
Nope, you don't understand what he's doing. Water, gas, garbage don't cost anything if you aren't there, insurance and taxes are vastly lower. I could pay the costs of 6 pied I tierre for the cost of property taxes in my nondescript Midwest property.
No it isn't if you keep it moderate. That's the whole point. A mansion with a huge garden surely but not something moderate. The problem is that most people want to show off instead of going for real (financial) freedom.
Sounds very exhausting Andrew having 6 places. I have 3 homes . I had 4 but I used 1 only 10 days a year and found it easier just to stay in a hotel. Hotels are clean, swimming pool, room service. It is hardly possible to even live in 3 places I am about to get rid of one more and just live in 2 nice places.
@@fwefhwe4232 Rich French have multiple residences. Many go to Morocco. The CEO of Louis Vuitton gave up his French citizenship for Bege one when Macron wanted to raise taxes in 2020 or 2021. 😂😂😂 I am sure they are glad they did because the French are destroying Paris right now for over a month and they raided the Louis Vuitton offices last week or so. 😅😅😅
Would you recommend purchasing real estate in Antalya, Turkey or Tbillsi, Georgia? Do you have to purchase these homes cash? or is there financing available to non citizens?
I can't agree more with the decor and ambiance being native to youur location. Why have a house in Bogata or Belgrade if they all look the same, and that's where you came from ? The easiest way to integrate into a culture is immersion.
Andrew, how will you and your clients address the oncoming limitations on travel and flights placed by carbon-print regulations most likely reinforced with government-controlled central-bank digital currencies?
The rich will not be subject to the same restrictions as the plebs. See Davos: they want to eliminate most air travel for the general population while they fly their private jets. Because science…
Most of the world isn't doing that, only a few deranged companies in the West. A huge portion of the world ( BRICS and SCO ) are moving away from the dollar and back to a gold backed currency.
5 apts are empty most of the time instead of renting out to locals or tourists!If I had 6 of these I would rent out 5 of them for profits and stay in Hyatt whenever I am in town instead with the rent money!:)
How do you keep your accommodation in a humid climate when you fly away? Everything inside the apartment begins to deteriorate if you do not use air conditioning due to humidity.
I would be very interested in the costs associated with having a (most of the time unused) home in the different countries of the world. Buying an apartment is just one thing and it is relatively easy to get information on the costs. However, I couldn't find information on the cost of ownership (taxes, levies, management fees). It would also be good to find some information on how safe it is to keep an apartment unused for longer periods of time.
Hi there . Is it possible to live on a yacht in the Med and drift from 1 country to the next and be tax free if your non EU citizens? Assuming you use say the Spanish digital visa or non lucrative visa to get round the 90 day rule but never stay more than 90 days in 1 country ?
@Pat Risberg yep. Was planning on going into Gibraltar every winter to exit EU then re enter on new 18 month temporary visit. Can you really do that and be tax free if your an EU citizen !!
Great stuff Andy! How to optimize ? Leave the 🇺🇸….Not because it’s not great- there’s abundance and it’s better abroad on SOOOO many levels. Not just dating. Join the #NewRich Son! 💯
Why I'm missing in this story is where your tax residency actually is. Having six homes is great, but what about value property taxes? Exit taxes if you move?
What about insurance costs? I notice in another of your videos you mention maintenance but not insurance. Also, thanks for these videos. I like each one I watch and I'm already subscribed.
I’ve noticed these opportunities to purchase citizenship and I would think it would be hard to transfer money into the US to buy a home. Is it relatively hard to move money to purchase a home in the US?
I find bigger homes or properties than what you really need just a waste of time and money to maintain the place. You also needlessly just tie up more of your capital into a property that can be better deployed somewhere else.
Andrew It shows that you are from a thrifty family who respect the value of money and use savings for independence not for showing off and appearance..

You can buy both in cash and installments over there. No such restriction for foreigners..
We totally get this and find Mexico to be wonderful for one of our places.
Yeah, but I love my orangery and the ducks are just awesome...
None of this makes any sense but I love the bit so im going to keep watching
I can't agree more with the decor and ambiance being native to youur location. Why have a house in Bogata or Belgrade if they all look the same, and that's where you came from ? The easiest way to integrate into a culture is immersion.
Andrew, how will you and your clients address the oncoming limitations on travel and flights placed by carbon-print regulations most likely reinforced with government-controlled central-bank digital currencies?
The rich will not be subject to the same restrictions as the plebs. See Davos: they want to eliminate most air travel for the general population while they fly their private jets. Because science…
Most of the world isn't doing that, only a few deranged companies in the West. A huge portion of the world ( BRICS and SCO ) are moving away from the dollar and back to a gold backed currency.
Right!
Since the virtue signaling elites will resist restrictions on flying around the world to eco conferences, it will never happen. 😂😂😂
5 apts are empty most of the time instead of renting out to locals or tourists!If I had 6 of these I would rent out 5 of them for profits and stay in Hyatt whenever I am in town instead with the rent money!:)
in some countries once someone rents it is very difficult and time consuming to evict them
How do you keep your accommodation in a humid climate when you fly away? Everything inside the apartment begins to deteriorate if you do not use air conditioning due to humidity.
The way things are heading, won't be able to travel too much soon.
I like why you did it. I wish I'd have had the ability to do this. I'm still trying for it tho.
Είσαι απίθανος 👍
I would be very interested in the costs associated with having a (most of the time unused) home in the different countries of the world. Buying an apartment is just one thing and it is relatively easy to get information on the costs. However, I couldn't find information on the cost of ownership (taxes, levies, management fees). It would also be good to find some information on how safe it is to keep an apartment unused for longer periods of time.
Buy a double leavel house and o ly rent out one floor with the agreement you will stay on the other while you are in the country
6:58 is that fog or smog? I live in Australia and sort of want to get out, however the air is really clean here.
really cool lifestyle
100% agree
Hi there .
Is it possible to live on a yacht in the Med and drift from 1 country to the next and be tax free if your non EU citizens? Assuming you use say the Spanish digital visa or non lucrative visa to get round the 90 day rule but never stay more than 90 days in 1 country ?
@Pat Risberg yep. Was planning on going into Gibraltar every winter to exit EU then re enter on new 18 month temporary visit. Can you really do that and be tax free if your an EU citizen !!
@Pat Risberg you can easily avoid VAT on the yacht, many do it whilst still spending time in the EU.
@Pat Risberg so screwed by brexit..
Omg 😮$30,000 penalty on a good house they already own. That’s shocking, how scary.
Great stuff Andy! How to optimize ? Leave the 🇺🇸….Not because it’s not great- there’s abundance and it’s better abroad on SOOOO many levels. Not just dating. Join the #NewRich Son! 💯
Why I'm missing in this story is where your tax residency actually is. Having six homes is great, but what about value property taxes? Exit taxes if you move?
It’s been covered on our channel.
Why not Bahrain? one more baasically lifetime residency for just 50k BHD. And it's also a tax free country.
tell me more
Please show us contacts where we can make enquiries to buy a 2 bed home.
Any idea how much to buy in terms of $USD?
Thanks. God Bless.
Yes I would love to have more details please
I want to learn as well, please elaborate more. Thanks
What about insurance costs? I notice in another of your videos you mention maintenance but not insurance. Also, thanks for these videos. I like each one I watch and I'm already subscribed.
You'll get so much more enjoyment from places over the world
I’ve noticed these opportunities to purchase citizenship and I would think it would be hard to transfer money into the US to buy a home. Is it relatively hard to move money to purchase a home in the US?
Lol it's easy. Judt ask the Japanese, Chinese, mexico and so on.
Easy. They are paying cash all day, every day. Don't even need to be a resident, much less a citizen.
What do you do with these houses when you are not there?
Turn the AC off and leave. Or allow friends or colleagues to use them.
I find bigger homes or properties than what you really need just a waste of time and money to maintain the place. You also needlessly just tie up more of your capital into a property that can be better deployed somewhere else.
Great video
Thanks.
No place like homes :)
