JS 34: The New Emerging Global Middle Class with Jeff Opdyke Investment Director of ‘The Sovereign Individual’

Join Jason Hartman as he interviews Investment Director and Editor of The Sovereign Individual, Jeff Opdyke. While the middle class is shrinking in the United States, Jeff shares his global observations of a new emerging middle class in other previously oppressed countries, such as Asia and Africa, and how online international trading is becoming so much easier to do.

Jeff and Jason talk about the various pockets in different countries that are becoming more attractive to foreign investors, the ease or difficulty of investing in real estate in those areas, and how rates of return compare with the United States. Despite the economic condition of the United States, investing here is still the easiest and most affordable, offering higher rates of return on investment. But as things continue to change around the world, more and more global markets may become friendlier to foreign investors. Jeff says looking for these lucrative pockets is one way to approach real estate investing overseas.
