Looking for International Property Investments

If you are just starting out and wondering where to begin, herea are some defining concepts on Real Estate Investment Abroad;
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. Growth in the economy is what really pushes up house prices, and also increases internal demand for housing, including second homes, which in turn and in the longer term will bring the investor his ROI.
