I fancy Egypt myself as I am a diver, but some colleagues are saying its not the best option. basically i want to know whats hot and whats not.

All advice welcome.

Thanks

Good morning,

This is my first post so bear with me...!!

I found your initial post, above, interesting because it seems to me that you are combining overseas investment with your life-style preferences, i.e. your passion for diving.

Can I make a suggestion that you disassociate the two? What I mean by this is why don't you consider your investment to be just that, purely an investment to make your money work hard for you, and, using the income you can dive in all of the world's best diving locations.

Two things to consider here..

1) if you invested in a BTL unit in the UK, would you want to spend time time in it?

And,

2) do you want to re-visit the same dive/holiday location year after year?

I won't flagrantly post the boards with our own developments in the Caribbean but, if you want to know more, and learn how you can invest in 5* resorts in International tourism locations with fantastic capital growth and income returns, which will make your money work harder for you, please feel free to send me a private message and I'll give you my contact details.

Hi everyone,
Turkey is a great place for investment. The prices are relatively cheaper than Europe and the rising economy is making the house prices to increase. In the last few years, Turkey has a rising economy and the stock market increased dramatically breaking a record several times. Large number of companies especially from Greece, France and Britan bought a lot of companies and lands in Turkey. Some examples of this are the purchase of Kipa by the Tesco group, and the large amount of land bought by the French companies in Istanbul.
The British can also get mortgage from many Turkish banks at the moment.
All of these factors make Turkey a great investment opportunity.

Caribbean Star,
What do you mean by an 'exit strategy'?

All investments require an exit strategy.....how will the investor get their money out, i.e. how is the re-sale ensured?

Surely the caribbean is a better investment for an investor based on google figures?

According to Google Labs there were, in September last year, 41,000 enquiries from Brits looking for property in Bulgaria, compared to only 1,500 enquiries in the Caribbean.

However, when it came to global rental enquiries, there were only 3,250 for Bulgaria compared to 6,500,000 (yes, 6.5 million) for the caribbean. From a supply/demand perspective, where do you think is the better place to own a property??

I can substantiate this by the way!

Well, it depends, Bulgaria is quite "new location", in comparison with the Caribbean, there is no doubt, but in Bulgaria is still cheap for investment...
By the way, my landlord is Bristish, and I am Bulgarian, living in Bulgaria ..

That may be the case. But what about in 5 years time when there is a dearth of available property? If prices rise, rents will need to as well. How will you cater for this rise? and who will buy the resales? And will it be international tourism?
