Property Investing Explained

There is something magic about property investing. When you invest in real estate at home or abroad, you are not just creating an opportunity to earn a good return on your investment; you are also investing in a bricks-and-mortar home. Unlike investments in equities and bonds, this is a real, visible and lasting investment that is likely to increase in value over time.

Overseas property portal Centasource helps investors from all across the world discover global real estate so that they can create their own investment property portfolio in Africa, USA, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

What is property investment?

Property investment involves taking a stake in a residential or commercial property. Some investors prefer to buy one or more properties in their entirety, while others invest within a group of like-minded investors to share a property and therefore share any profit from its sale, or any regular income from renters.

Why do people invest in property abroad?

Overseas properties can often represent better value for property investors. While a one bedroom property in prime central London can cost seven figures or more, for the same amount of money, it may be possible to buy multiple luxury villas in countries such as Portugal, Thailand, Malawi and Dubai. This allows property investors to diversify their property portfolios; a strategy which can help to reduce risk and increase the possibility of a strong return.

And of course, for many people an investment property abroad also offers a low-cost, low-effort holiday option – particularly if the property is located in a tourist-friendly area. Many property investors choose to invest overseas so that they can use the property themselves for at least part of the year, and rent it out on a short-term basis while they are not there.

What benefits can people have from investing in property abroad?

Overseas properties allow investors to tap into the huge growth opportunities of emerging countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, where the residential property market and the tourist industries and hotels are booming. This means that there is a lot of money to be made from global property investments over the next few years, as population increases and economic growth leads to rising demand for housing across the world.

Many people who invest in properties abroad do so with the intention of using them themselves, either as a holiday home for themselves or for friends and family.
