Kim - I agree but being an agent selling both investment opportunities for "off plan" developments with finance, long construction periods and rental guarantees as well as land and soon, fractional ownership of land through to development and sale, I see benefits for a cross section of individuals. Those wanting out and out investments often say that they are in it for the long term and they just want to hold, not necessarily use it and ride out any storms. The truth is most investors actually like these tangable investments as they do aspire to one day be able to use that property. Buying land as part owner of a subsequent development is a good investment at the right place right time but it does not give you the glamour ( although more so than the stock market of course).
We at will be marketing funds for emerging markets in the very near future to compliment the "off plan" deals as we do feel investors need the options to come in at a low level and make the strongest profits from build but without the hassle.
