Investing in foreign real estate
Besides a place to live, buying a house can also be a good investment. Investing in real estate abroad has three advantages:
- You can live there yourself and enjoy your stay abroad
- If the value of your home rises, you can later sell it with profit
- In the periods that you do not live in the house, you can (temporarily) let it and earn an extra income.
These three advantages make buying a home abroad an extremely attractive
investment. Feel free to contact us for advice on where and when it is best to invest in foreign real estate.

Tax on your house abroad
In addition to financing, you have to take taxes into account if you are going to buy a house abroad.
Because the tax rules differ per country, we go deeper into the specific situations on the country pages. For example, you may have to pay wealth tax or income tax if you rent out the house. Fortunately, the Dutch government has tax treaties with most countries, in order to prevent double payment of taxes.
It is also possible that the country where you buy a second house considers you a tax resident. Often the country where you spend most of your time and where you are economically active is also the country where you are tax resident, but these rules can also differ per country. Also consider municipal taxes that you have to pay abroad. A tax advisor with knowledge of the country where you are buying a house can advise you.
