In my last Newsletter I mentioned that you might be able to purchase property with an IRA. This is not my specialty, (International Accounting), so I thought I would pass on the name and email of both a U.S. Tax Specialist and U.S. Attorney (same person) who lives offshore who can answer questions for you on that subject and many others. Stewart lives offshore so it is first hand expertise.  Stewart Patton <stewart@ustax.bz>

Real estate is one of the best investments a person can make. Of course like everything it can have a downside. That said the stock market had large drops in value eleven times since 1969. The real estate industry, only three times has it gone down. Personally I like those odds.

This is our ‘high season’ when many of you come to visit. Between that and our upcoming ‘Discovery Tour’ I am a very busy guy so I will leave you with some new listings and listings of interest below and hope you are staying warm up there in the ‘tundra’. (for me that is anything north of the Mason-Dixon line).
