I almost did😒

War, communism or simply a massive increase in crime can happen in most countries. Look at Colombia now. Crime is increasing rapidly and the socialist Petro is leading in the election polls. The presidential elections are next month. My wife is from Colombia, and she is convinced the country is going to get a lot worse. So am I.

One of the problems for investors in Ukraine is that they don't allow dual citizenship, only permanent residency.

Why is this 14 min I can never understand especially seeing that he's clearly not offering financial advice.

TLDR: investing overseas have risk like anywhere else, but one must be cautious because people from developed nations may be underestimating risk that are traditionally very low to none in the west that are more of an issue in developing nations. War is not an issue in most developed nations like UK, USA, Canada… but is a considerable risk in places like Ukraine, Moldova, Serbia, etc. Some developing nations may have other risk that the west mostly don't worry about such as the rule of law and private ownership rights due to stuff like change of government, nationalistic sentiment, etc.

However risk also comes with opportunities if you know how to manage the risk on those countries. For example, many investment options for developing nations are far cheaper than western counterparts and depending on how dynamic their economy is… the investment return may be higher.

Imo, I think this is a horrible sell. For people that he seeks as clients that are high-net worth, my understanding is that they don't like making high risk but rather prefer less risk and more predictability and use their vast capital and/or leverage to increase the volume and bring up the return. This could be stock market mindset, and may act a little differently in developing nations but other things to consider is how good the lending is and what the interest/condition are as that's how "most" rich people make bank.

He's obviously pitching this idea because his bread & butter and even relevance is based on people moving overseas and spending $$. I donno how his capital is invested and his cash flow structured, but just beware.

I will forever be indebted to you 😇 I was able to build a big income stream investing with Mrs Caren Hendricks. You’ve changed my whole life, thanks so much.

Have 500k € frozen there now. Mainly real estate and land, so hope they are not lost. I love Kyiv and the Ukrainians and all my prayers to my friends there now.

Dear Andrew. I do not want to give stock market advise. But there is a big investment company that has a lot of real estate on its books. It is black stone. ( market cap 139 billion$) Ticket BX. It has gone from 20 to 111 in 10 years. This is an easier way to have real estate exposure without the head aches of owning the actual properties.

invest in the rebulid of ukraine next year will be huge money

Yellow teeth, and having a portfolio? :/

Hey man, ask YouTuber Johnny FD!!. He went all in buying apartments in Kyiv and Kharkiv. Now he is wandering around EU.

Going to be huge bargains in the coming years….

How the heck do you file your taxes on time with other foreign sources of income, Canada government wants to know shit everything outside of Canada

What about 3 figure income? Lol due to high taxes and cost of business in Canada and USA?

Cheap real estate sale in Ukraine now

All the European and western and east Indian software development companies in Ukraine locations are tits up

Believe it or not properly values in Lviv Ukraine are apparently going up right now due to so many Ukrainian people moving from the East to the western city. This according to my daughter in law who is from Lviv but now lives in Canada. Her dad and uncle and some cousins are still there and will have to fight. Unfortunately today the first civilians were killed there by shelling so this may change.

basically a write-off!

I just don't understand how you can have apartments everywhere and not have your returns get cannibalized by real estate management fees.

How can I trust someone in India, Uzbekistan, and Cambodia to look after my respective properties and manage all of that. I feel as though if I take my eye off the ball for a second, someone is going to take me for a ride.

You'd be
Like Johnny fd
In Poland and lost all his investments

Are you born-again ??

I invested in Russia in 2007, made 400% on real estate in 7 years.

Ukrainian banks have frozen accounts of Belarussian and Russian citizens. Their properties got taken away as well. I don't know about diversifying in many countries. I have two properties in two countries and it's a lot of headache to keep and manage.

Question is what happened to Ukraine can happen to Georgia or Latvia, some of your fav countries and then what?

Epam Systems had nearly half of its developers in Ukraine, so lots of companies had invested there in one way or another.

You should reach out to Johnny FD he had bought & remodeled two homes in Ukraine 🇺🇦 he is here on YouTube

Hello Mr Henderson
Do you believe in cryptocurrency & which ones did you buy?

These risks are unfortunately normal for all countries bordering with Russia or having strong historical ties with it. Georgia is another good example of this – in 2008 it lost 1/5th of the territory to Russia in a matter of weeks. Imagine you had invested in it? This is also the reason why Georgia is a very bad idea right now. At this moment it is safe, since it has a largely pro-russian president and government elected after Saakashvili, which does what Russia asks of it in its international policies. But when the people elect strong pro-georgian or pro-western leader – who knows what will happen.
It was similar in Ukraine before 2008 – it had weak political regime, uninspiring leaders, largely dependent economically (natural gas) and politically on Russia. And only when Ukraine wanted to have its own say in its international policy – the Russia didn't like it, they annexed Crimea, started a hybrid war on Donbass and waged it until recently, when they decided that it is time to go to full-scale invasion.
The only way to avoid this risks is to either forget about all post-soviet countries as a destination of your investments and business efforts or to support the global efforts of putting a high price on waging expansionist wars in 21st century.

What has happened in Ukraine obviously has implications for Georgia and Armenia. Potentially very negative implications.

Now is the time to buy in Ukraine. There's literal blood in the streets.

I been looking at buying houses in villages

Is it safe to invest in Georgia now? Could Georgia be the next Ukraine? I mean could Russia attack Georgia in the future?

For a 100k apartment in Ukraine to be 1% of one's portfolio you would need a 10 million dollar portfolio. In that case sure the hit wouldn't be horrible. I'm just glad I delayed my decision and didn't buy in Ukraine before the war. When the war ends and if Ukraine maintains its sovereignty there maybe buying opportunities if all the cities aren't destroyed by then. The 10 year "permanent" residency should be improved to lifetime otherwise it isn't very attractive to me
