CONCLUSION

What an absolute blast it was talking to Tom! We got sidetracked from my initial topic idea and ended up going in many different directions, and I was thrilled with how it turned out. The topics we touched on in this conversation are of utmost importance, especially to those in the expat community who are tuned in to what is happening worldwide. If you weren’t already, you’ve got to follow Tom Luongo for his take on geopolitics.

Today’s episode celebrates 250 episodes of the Expat Money Show!

I can’t believe some of the incredible people I’ve gotten to speak to doing this podcast, many of whom I admired years before this show, were even an idea in my mind.  It occurred to me that many of you hadn’t yet begun your expat journey when I started this podcast back in 2017, and there’s a decent chance you haven’t heard some of the biggest and best interviews that I’ve conducted over the years. 

So this week, we’ll be checking out a sampling of top names I’ve interviewed since starting the Expat Money Show – people like Doug Casey, Grant Cardone, Jim Rogers, and the great Congressman Ron Paul. Enjoy!

CONCLUSION

While this episode may have been a look back into the past, believe it or not, we are just getting started here at Expat Money. This podcast has laid the groundwork for the efforts we are currently undertaking, helping thousands of freedom-loving individuals seek higher ground. The future is bright for those who take action to improve their lives by becoming an expat, and this show will remain the flagship for those who share our ideals. I’m greatly looking forward to the next 250 episodes and beyond, and I’m thrilled to have you all along for the journey. 

See you all next Wednesday on the podcast!

In today’s episode, I will share a third and final portion of my recent webinar on Brazilian real estate featuring our question and answer section. I’ve received such a great response and questions from listeners interested in this opportunity over the last few days, so I figured I would go ahead and share our Q&A section. As I discussed in part one, I believe Brazil presents the greatest opportunity among the BRICS countries to benefit from the coming de-dollarization. After John broke down the incredible opportunities to acquire Brazilian beachfront real estate with 12% net returns this past Monday in part two, today’s episode should clear up any lingering questions you might have. Enjoy!TODAY’S Q&A ON BRAZILIAN BEACHFRONT REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

• Listen in as John and I address the question of the language difference in Brazil. Can you get by with English or even Spanish, or do you need proficiency in Portuguese?
• We address what the medical system is like in Fortaleza and how the private medical system is very affordable.
• Brazilian native Bruno gives his insights on all of the great activities available to do in this region of Brazil. You will never get bored here!
• Bruno also further explains the details of the rental program, including addressing the owner’s personal use of the property.
• I detail how we’ve set things up so you can get Brazilian residency by purchasing just two of these investment properties. Not a bad bonus!
• John breaks down why one-bedroom villas are the real “workhorses” for these investment properties.
• I explain why keeping your money in real estate right now is much safer than in the stock market or fiat currencies.
• We address the question on everyone’s mind – when will these units be delivered? You’ll see why you must act now to lock in these prices while they are in pre-construction.

Today, I am going to share a conversation I had on The Tom Woods Show. This interview has gotten such a great response since it first aired that I wanted to share it here with you to make sure you didn’t miss it.

Tom didn’t let me off easy and really put me on the hot seat, bringing up a ton of objections that many who are first hearing about the expat lifestyle tend to come up with.

Answering Common Expat Objections

• In this discussion, I respond to some common “black pilled” takes that Tom has heard about the negative side of expatriation, dispelling the notion that the advantages you can achieve outside your country of birth aren’t all that great when you break it down.
• There is no Shangri-La – no perfect libertarian country in the world. It does not exist. But that’s not to be said that we can’t get more freedom in our lives by being overseas or by jurisdiction shopping.
• I explain to Tom exactly what FATCA – the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act –  is and how it works, and why it’s even caused some Americans to go as far as to renounce their U.S. citizenship!
• I address Tom’s concern that whatever problems you have in the U.S., they may very well be worse outside the U.S., as was the case in certain countries when it came to COVID restrictions.
• Tom and I talk about how Americans can utilize the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion to greatly reduce their tax burden while living overseas.
• I break down the concept of citizenship by investment and how the process typically unfolds for those with substantial funds to invest overseas.
• I lay out the many reasons to have a second passport, even if you do not plan to live outside your home country!
• I provide some definitive first steps to take for those that have caught the expat bug and are ready to take their expat journey to the next level.

CONCLUSION

I hope you enjoyed today’s conversation on The Tom Woods Show. Tom is an excellent interviewer, and I loved how he pressed me on some of the common objections people who are first learning about the expat lifestyle often hold. These are questions that don’t often come up here on the Expat Money Show, where I primarily interview those who are already on the expat journey, so it was a great change of pace.

This is the perfect episode to share with a friend or family member who has expressed interest in the expat lifestyle but has been hesitant to pursue it further due to many of the objections addressed in this conversation.

See you all next Wednesday on the podcast!
