There are two types of asset classes that are exempt from the IRS - precious metals and foreign real estate. There are great foreign real estate opportunities all across South America, Europe, and Asia where you can keep your life away from prying eyes. What makes foreign real estate so appealing is the ability to defer your capital gains tax as well as have a passive income.
