Avoid major changes eg new boilers until regulations clearer.Increasing Professionalisation:  “Accidental” landlords encouraged  to exit  paving the way for larger or more professional investors.Opportunities Amid Challenges: Professional, forward-thinking landlords who invest in compliance and improvements may benefit from less competition.Practical Action StepsI'd Like Help With Setting My GoalsLeave a reviewJoin our WhatsApp  group / access  37 Question Due Diligence Checklist / 23 Step Guide to Buying Property at AuctionInstagramExclusive Property Engine discounts (Code: EXPAT)Starter package: 30 day trialPro package  30 day trial, then 3 months 1/2 price, Ultimate package, 1/2 price 3 monthsKeywordsUK property investment, Energy Performance Certificate UK, EPC changes 2025, EPC requirements for landlords, EPC rating C UK, EPC cost for landlords, Landlord legal requirements UK, EPC upgrades UK 2028, Net zero property UK, Private rental sector regulations UK, Renters Rights Bill UK, UK landlord costs 2025, Energy efficiency grants UK, Retrofit skills shortage UK, Minimum energy efficiency standard UK, EPC assessment process, Expat landlord UK, Property market trends UK 2025, UK, Professional landlord UK tips, Green mortgages UK, Boiler Upgrade Scheme UK, Insulation grants for landlords UK,  Institutional landlords UK, Accidental landlord regulations UK, UK property compliance checklist, EPC strategy for landlords, UK property future-proofing

Greg and Ed do a first for the the show, with a panel discussion with four guests! Why four? Well, everyone knows that cliche about Bangkok being a heaven for expat men, but we didn't know much about expat women. It stands to reason that one woman can't speak for all women, so we upped the game a bit. After some introductions, we get into the meat of the show, with a myriad of stories that show how complex, nuanced, and (depending on the person) important the issue is to a life well lived in the capital. Among many other things, the ladies discuss the differences between the attention they get back home and what they get in Bangkok, what it's like to date Thai men (and women), the quality of farang men in Thailand, and a host of other issues. There are also some hilarious(ly awful) Tinder stories, anecdotes about being approached on the street, issues that single moms have to deal with, discussion about western women who leave Thailand bitter and angry, and how Asian American women are treated in Thailand. Suffice it to say more than one can of worms are opened up in part one of a two-part mega interview. As always, the podcast will continue to be 100% funded by listeners just like you who get some special swag from us. And we'll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.

Australia is popular with Irish Expats and there are plenty of Australian Citizens who want to live around the world - and often the finance planning takes a backseat on their journeys.In this episode, I'm joined by Amber Dawson, Senior Financial Adviser at Ally Wealth Management in Perth, who specialises in helping Australian expats manage their finances smartly, wherever life takes them.Amber shares her perspective as both a qualified adviser and a former expat herself, giving practical guidance on the big questions clients face when moving countries. We cover Australian tax residency pitfalls, how rental income from Australian property is taxed, and what often gets overlooked in the rush to relocate. We also explore capital gains tax traps, why foreign income can be taxed differently depending on your residency status, and how to avoid costly surprises with your investment portfolio when leaving Australia.Whether you're returning to Ireland after years abroad or heading across the world for a fresh start, this will help you find the right people to talk to in the Australian system.Main Topics discussed in this Episode:Tax Residency and Relocation Pitfalls: Amber explains how Australia's residency rules aren't black-and-white. Tax Treatment of Australian Rental Property: We talk through how rental income from an Australian property is taxed when you're living overseas—including the flat 30% rate for non-residents.Capital Gains Tax for Expats: Amber mentions how selling property or investments as a non-resident can trigger higher CGT bills.Cross-Border Tax Coordination: We look at why it's essential to get advice in both countries when moving between Ireland and Australia (including the double tax treaty).Expat Client Types and Real-Life Challenges: From young professionals to retirees and families with kids, Amber shares the different types of expats she advises and how their needs vary.Your special offer from Amber Dawson & Ally Wealth:Book a meeting with Amber to start your personalised Strategy Paper: https://calendly.com/ally-wealth-amber/introductory-meeting-online.

What if you could wake up tomorrow in a country that has peaceful protests without military intervention? Where healthcare is a right, not a privilege? Where a five-day hospital stay results in no bill, and where life moves at a pace that prioritizes enjoyment over hustle? This isn't fantasy—it's daily reality in France.France beckons Americans with its seductive blend of art, food, architecture, and a profound dedication to leisure. But beyond the postcard-perfect landscapes lies something perhaps more valuable: a society structured around human dignity. Universal healthcare that actually works. Cities designed for walking, not driving. Public transportation that connects you to all of Europe for less than the cost of dinner in Manhattan.In this comprehensive exploration of relocating to France, we dive deep into practical realities. We discuss the visa pathways that make France more accessible than you might think, from the long-stay visitor visa requiring about €17,000 annual income to specialized options for entrepreneurs, remote workers, and retirees. We break down surprising affordability factors, where cell phone/internet bills run €30 monthly and quality healthcare coverage costs less than many American co-pays.French expat specialist and star of House Hunters International Adrian Leeds, and immigration attorney Daniel Tostado share insider perspectives on everything from housing markets to healthcare navigation. They reveal how the French bureaucracy, while challenging, ultimately delivers services that transform quality of life. "I certainly enjoy the good healthcare," Leeds explains. "When I was in the hospital I didn't have to think about whether my insurance was going to cover it... None of that. Done. Automatic."The cultural transition presents perhaps the greatest challenge. Yet for those willing to adapt, the rewards are immeasurable: safety, beauty, community, and liberation from many anxieties that define American life.Featuring:Adrian LeedsDaniel Tostado-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

Their story kicks off at a job fair—those hectic, slightly awkward events where life-changing decisions are made in 30-minute interviews and coffee-fueled conversations. They share the twists and turns that led them to say yes to this new chapter, and all the serendipitous moments in between.We also hear from Darian, who's already living in Saudi, and offers the kind of real-talk you wish you'd hear more often—what family life actually looks like over there, how the culture feels on the ground, and how kids adjust when “home” gets redefined.This conversation gets into it all—the nerves, the excitement, the never-ending to-do list before a big international move. There's talk of cultural shifts, how Saudi Arabia is changing fast, and what that means for families like Monique and Jimmy's. We talk about safety, schools, food, friendships, and those unexpected moments of connection that remind you why you took the leap in the first place.There are laughs, a few deep breaths, and a lot of reflection—on parenting abroad, building a life in a new place, and figuring out how to thrive, not just survive.

Todd breaks down the realities of expatriating for preparedness reasons, sharing insights from someone who lived through the challenges firsthand. You'll discover the unexpected difficulties with food quality, infrastructure problems, construction nightmares, and security concerns that many don't consider before making the leap. This episode examines whether moving abroad truly offers better survival prospects during an economic collapse or if staying in the United States might actually be the smarter preparedness strategy. Todd also explores alternative solutions like relocating within the U.S. to rural areas that offer self-sufficiency without sacrificing modern conveniences. Whether you're retired, planning for the future, or worried about America's direction, this episode will challenge your assumptions about international relocation as a preparedness strategy.

Because we do not focus only on one or a handful of countries, we can offer unbiased advice where others can't.
