Job opportunity in middle east (*****).

Doing the math id be saving around £100k each year. Perhaps more as years go by.

As I know this will be a finite experience 5-15 years, how should i invest it?

Buy rental properties back home and return home with a portfolio of ~7 properties? A chunk into things like s&p 500? Do something else?

I'll assume you're American since SA generally doesn't recognize dual citizenships AFAIK.
Consider holding a portion in short term US Treasuries and CDs. Remember that real estate is local, there is no "real estate market", there are 3142 counties in the US, each with their own market.

Consider diversifying across different countries. There are places outside the US I'd consider like Mexico & Colombia, but that takes time on the ground; you won't find deals online, and you'll need to spend time there.


My advice is to network and surround yourself with people who already have investments and side incomes. You're going to get a different answer depending on who you ask.

***** isn't in "SA" and Americucks pay taxes on worldwide income. Not wise to assume anything most of the time.

I would put 100% into VOO in 401k/roth ira and the rest into VOO in my regular brokerage account and not touch it for 20+ years.
