Abstract: The purpose of this article is to examine the relationships between real estate market factors (transaction costs, landlord and tenant practices and property rights) and foreign real estate investments (FREI) after controlling for other relevant determinants of FREI. This article uses related observations from 38 countries to investigate the relationships between real estate market factors and FREI. Our analysis shows that countries with lower transaction costs and higher level of property rights attract greater amounts of FREI. Furthermore, our empirical results indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between pro-landlord practices and FREI. JEL Classification: R3, D23, P26
