[Linda]

Thought I'd start a small thread to see what $250,000 would get in overseas. . .

This should be an interesting one!

Linda there are hundreds of thousands of options. Where are you thinking of, the Bahamas, Russia or Fiji?

I see you quote in dollars. I know a lot of Americans buying in Morocco, there used to be a US airbase in Saidia - thats where Im buying

Hi Everyone,

$250,000, can make a big difference and on what are looking to invest in and how....
I'm Daniel based in India in Chennai, I'm in to this forum to help people from European countries and foreign nationals to buy a property in India. I'm in the real estate business for the past 35 years it was run by my dad with in the country and i've joined him and concentrating on overseas properties. Now the best thing about the service i offer is i not only sell the property i also provide Errand Service if a foriegn national is going to stay in India. I'm at the moment concentrating in selling properties in Chennai and Tamilnadu which is ofcourse a beautiful place to stay.I also help the foreigners to let their property out if they want and get them some return on Investments if they don't intend to stay. I have a lot of facilities attached to my property buying services. You can rest assured that you are doing honest business with me. I'm in the process of setting up my own website which will be out in the Newyear. If any one interested to hear more can contact me through email at danielusah@yahoo.com.

Hope to hear from you

Many Thanks

Daniel

You say 250k but is that in cash or is it your budget ? Also is it for investment if so how long and what sort of an investment are you after? Is it for your pension or is it for the children when you've gone?
All these factors play a big part in looking for the right investment for you...
Every country has different tax, capital gains etc so to answer the quetsion I would need more to go on!!!

I don't see much about Southern Africa on this forum but I have made the most money investing in South African property. $250k would buy you a nice upmarket holiday home in a security estate near the beach. Or you can invest in an undeveloped plot in a secure country estate such as kraaibosch country estate on South Africa's garden route, the safest and most popular area in South Africa to invest in property.
Alternatively, if you want summer all year round and you like wildlife, you can live right next door to the Kruger National Park, in Marloth Park residential game reserve where $250k will buy you a thatch roof mansion overlooking the Crocodile River and Kruger National Park.
Both Marloth Park and Kraaibosch are comparatively cheap still and prices keep rising each month. I have been getting very good returns on my investments here. South Africa has a very stable economy and first world infrastructure.

you can get a completed superluxury villa on the sea-front with its private beach. Also you will have the benefit of fully furnished house including two air-conditions and an alarm system.
The location is an unspoilt beauty which has miles of sandy beaches and its called Northern Cyprus....

SA is no longer an investment, its too late.

The smart money was in 5 years ago.

The world famous author of 'Rich Dad' went there recently and commented 'I would have been out three years ago'.
Exactly my position. Investing is not about spotting ancient bandwaggons and they deciding to invested based upon RECENT GOOD RETURNS. That isnt investing thats taking comfort in past figures.

Morocco has everything SA does but is only a 3 hour flight, is almost all aimed at the luxury end of things (so nothing like Turkey), has a long season and far cheaper prices than SA.
To me as a pure investor nowhere else comes close. Egypt is too far. Dubai is too far and all the good profit has gone. Turkey is a little far, can be very cold in winter and again its too later now (hundreds of developments everywhere causing oversupply).

Think about is. A 3 hour flight plus very up market resorts plus endless unspoiled SANDY beaches. You just cant go wrong (but avoid some of the one off small developments)

[TH4S]

Turkey is not to far,3 and half hours from london. And again its not to late.

Re. can be very cold in winter !!.Ok if you say so. However i am on my balcony .the sun is shining and its december.!!

Linda You say 250k.

100k Will buy you a super lux villa in turkey . put the rest in the bank. Then buy me a drink for giving you the best advice.
