Income do you want income and / or capital growth? Risk factor how risk averse are you? 6. What to look for in an area before you invest Identify solid reasons for capital growth Look closely at the economy & demographics GDP growth, infrastructure, population growth Examine external influences Supply vs. demand Building restrictions Financing Local & foreign affordability These are fundamental factors that apply in all economic cycles 7. What types of countries do we see value in? Every country is suffering, but some will recover quicker than others Who has the capacity / sophistication to borrow cheaply and implement well thought out reforms? Which countries have strong domestic markets? Where are the areas where people will always want to live? Are there any property developers and banks suffering in these areas? Can high quality investment properties be purchased at a fraction of their former cost? Are these at or near the bottom of the cycle?
