Beware; Some European Property Investment Markets are a Milked Cash Cow!

With the property market in the UK currently shaky, Im guessing that youre considering sinking your capital in European property investment. Im not going to tell you not to do this, but what I am going to do is say that you need to do your homework before you start.

Its not just us Brits that are having a property investment crisis; some of our European neighbours arent the cash cows they were a few years back. However, there are still some good deals to be made if you know what youre doing so its certainly worth thinking about.

Wheres the best return?

Buying property in Western Europe isnt going to make you rich anytime soon. The property market there is as risky as it is here and so theres little potential to make any return on your capital. Eastern Europe is where its at however. With the increasing development of property in countries such as Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia etc theres money to be made. However what you need to beware of is any locals selling you a good deal. Chances are that this European property investment opportunity isnt as good for you as it will be for the agent trying to sell it to you!

If you plan on investing money in property overseas you must ensure that you know what the trends are, what the market is worth, what the future is like for the area that youre investing in. The local agents arent going to tell you that a local factory is earmarked for closure within a couple of years and that many people will be unemployed and have to leave the area. They will show you a location with a job market on the doorstep.

So how do you get the best deal?

First of all read my strategy tips to clarify what kind of investment youre looking for. Independent research is an essential part of the European property investment market.

Rather than look at complexes that are already under construction, why not look at the land thats currently undeveloped? Is it possible that it would make a tourist area? Or a suburb for a slowly expanding town? Land is limited, but the right land has unlimited potential  I guarantee its well worth the time it takes to carry out the surveys before committing your money!
