Buy-to-let property can be a great thing to have in your portfolio if you’re looking to increase diversification. It’s tangible, generally in high demand and limited in supply. On top of that, most countries are essentially turning into nations of renters. 

That said, many expats struggle to purchase property while living and working abroad. 

Investing in property in countries like the UK, Germany and elsewhere can be achieved with the help of international mortgages and by outsourcing day-to-day operations to a professional property management company. 

This essentially means that the buyer can treat the property like any other investment, without having to worry about the stress of finding and servicing tenants, maintenance, and so on.
