Thinking about investing in another country? Here’s a mental gear shift you need to make:

In the U.S., we take infrastructure for granted. Roads, utilities, internet, healthcare, banking — they just work. But in emerging economies, infrastructure isn’t just background noise… it’s the foundation of your investment’s success.

A few key insights:

1. Infrastructure Drives Value

   In many countries, property prices rise not just with demand, but with each new road, hospital, or fiber line. A house near a newly paved road can double in value faster than one in a trendy neighborhood with bad access.

2. Access Is Everything

   Before you buy, ask: How reliable is power? Is water municipal or trucked in? How long does it take to reach an airport or major hospital? These details matter more than granite countertops.

3. Regulations May Be Fluid

   Zoning, property rights, and short-term rental rules can shift quickly in developing economies. Due diligence here means talking to locals, attorneys, and other expats — not just looking at listings.

4. Expect Friction

   Transactions may take longer, fees may be higher, and systems may be opaque. What feels like inefficiency is just part of the market. Build patience (and margin) into your plans.

The upside? Infrastructure in emerging markets can be like a rising tide — lifting property values, rental demand, and long-term returns. But it requires eyes wide open, not U.S.-style assumptions.

Invest where the roads are being built, not just where the tourists already are.
