Each of these issues becomes a factor when determining the investment strategy of international as well as local clients.

 Also the international specialist understands the impact of exchange rates on investments alternatives and identifies banks and financial institutions with international experience. A good understanding of the historical, cultural and economic features of a region is particularly important in evalueting the investment dynamics of individual markets. This knowledge will be usefull in identifying and assisting clients as well as facilitating and closing real estate international transactions. Succesful real estate international specialist never assume that what is true of their own market is true of markets abroad, so they are careful not assume that citizens of other countries consider real estate in the same ways. 

Any international real estate transaction, whether it involves the purchase of a home, a user-occupied business facility or an income producing property is considered an investment. The purchaser or lessee typically commits a substantial ammount of cash in their own currency to carry out a transaction in a foreign currency. If the international investor has money on deposit in the currency of the country where the investment is being made, there will eventually be some kind of exchange transaction. There is always the possibility that money will be made or lost based on the currency exchange dynamics alone. For that reason, it is important to be familiar with the mathematical and financial skills presented only by an international specialist agent. 

In an international real estate transaction one of the most important topics or areas to be covered by the CIPS agent is to determine the purchasing motivations of the foreign investor and this is indisoluble part of the investment analysis: Quantitative Motivations and Non-Quantitative Motivations. 
 Quantitative Motivations:
- Unable to find investment opportunities in their domestic economy. Investor's home economy may : Lack viable real estate investments market, have excess capital, be overbuilt, have restrictions on investment and ownership, have oppressive regulation.
- Desire to protect capital against inflation and other domestic threats: Inflation is always a threat to capital, devaluation of domestic currency, pending changes in goverment regulations, nationalization of private real estate holdings and key industries, fear of such threats causing capital flight.
- Minimize investment risk through diversification: Spread risk across various types and grades of investments.
- Cash flow and profits: many people invest to make or preserve money, timing of cash flows, the size of profits, and the pursuit of growth versus income may differ significantly for various international investors. 
Non-Quantitative Motivations:
- Investor wants to stablish a basis for obtaining a visa and/or citizenship in another country: Often coincides with the capital flight motivation and occurs when a country's internal situation appears to threaten the livehood or interests of investors.
- Expand a business into a foreign market: As business establish overseas offices, branches, subsidiaries, or joint ventures, real estate acquisitions may be involved.
- Protect family interests: Investors seek a base to expand their family's investment and employment opportunities.
