How to Buy Smart in Israel's First Buyer's Market in 20 Years A free live session for families planning aliyah and overseas buyers. For the first time in two decades, buyers in Israel have leverage. We'll show you how to use it, and the costs that show up after closing that nobody warns you about. ## Join Us Live **Sunday, November 1, 2026** 12:00 PM Eastern Time / 7:00 PM Israel Time 60 minutes, live on Google Meet, completely free. Bring your questions.  ## Buy Smart. Then Own Smart. First, how to buy in today's market: why buyers finally have the upper hand, where sellers are negotiating, how financing works for olim and overseas buyers, and the checks to run before you sign. Then the five costs that show up after closing, not before. Every one of them has cost a real owner real money. 01 **The vote.** A ₪150,000 building decision can pass without you, even if you never agreed to it. We'll show you how to actually get notified before the vote, not after the invoice.  02 **The discount.**  A real tax break on an empty apartment, with one missed notification that erases the whole thing. We'll cover exactly which notice matters and the deadline that trips up almost everyone.  03 **The renovation.**  90% of contractor complaints in Israel involve someone who wasn't registered with any professional body. We'll give you the three questions that catch an unregistered contractor before you sign anything.  04 **The Airbnb bill.**  The listing might be legal. The tax reclassification that follows usually isn't cheap. We'll break down what actually triggers it and how to see it coming.  05 **The insurance gap.**  An empty apartment doesn't get a discount on coverage. It usually gets a bigger risk instead. We'll walk through what a vacant-property policy should actually cover, and what most owners skip.  **Plus, What We'll Also Cover Live** The 2am call. When a pipe bursts and you're nine time zones away, there's no landlord line to call unless you built one before you needed it. We'll show you what a real response setup looks like. The bank account you didn't plan for. An Israeli account, a bad transfer route, and standard wire fees quietly add cost to every single payment you send this property, for as long as you own it. We'll show you how to route it right. The form most Americans have never heard of. If you're a US citizen with an Israeli bank account, federal law requires you to report it every year, and missing it isn't a slap on the wrist. We'll cover that, plus how non-resident rental income actually gets taxed here.   ## One Hour Could Save You Thousands. Bring Your Questions.
