Resources on investing in real estate in developing countries?
I’ve been doing a lot of research and thinking during this COVID-19 period. I’ve always been interested in potential development or real estate investing in developing countries, primarily South America. 

I was wondering if there any resources out there where I could broaden my knowledge to hopefully embark on this endeavor one day. I understand this can be extremely risky but I’d like to see my potential options. 

Background: I am currently in asset management doing retail where I’ve had a ton of exposure. I’m in my 3rd year as an analyst.
My mom is from Peru and I go back there often so that’s the country I have in mind, in particular.

Thanks in advance

In Bangkok, all the developers just built up along the BTS and MRT subway lines, similar to what developers in NYC were doing starting in the 2000s.\n\nThe basic private equity concepts of core, core plus, value add, and opportunistic/development still exist but you need to combine that with international finance course material. I would suggest a free course like this one:\n\nUnlocking Investment and Finance in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs) by the World Bank Group\nhttps://www.edx.org/course/unlocking-investment-and-finance-in-emerging-marke", "replies": [{"id": "fs1hjxt", "text": "Thanks for the input. Makes sense that general universal principles apply. I\u2019ll take a look at that course! Have you taken it?", "replies": [{"id": "fs1okfb", "text": "I have not taken this one specifically but I\u2019ve taken a masters level international finance course. The material looks somewhat similar although I really focused on interest rates and their economy as a whole while this is focused on investments specifically. Looks good though!", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
