1)Holiday home investor – the person who is looking for a holiday home that will pay off for itself is making a choice which almost strictly personal. The location, style and price of their investment property will depend where they enjoy their holidays, what type of home suits their needs etc;
2) The Pure Investor who is looking fo by real estate strictly for profit can be divided in two seperate catagories; a) the short term investor looking for the consolidated real estate market, where there may not be many of the cheaper deals, but the property is sure to sell within a 2 to 3 year time span and will capitalize in the near future, or b) the long-term Investor who needs to find a location with economic growth and political stability.
