Before you decide to buy an off-plan property it is important to fully understand the basic principles of investing and identify your individual requirements i.e. what do you want to achieve?.
The five fundamental questions you must ask yourself are:
|
Where should I invest? How do I invest? How much should I risk? How safe is it? What returns can I expect? |
Investment is ultimately about making money and risk management.

Low Risk Property Investments
Low risk property investments go hand in hand with established markets. Low risk investments continue to be popular with many investors, offering reassurance, a proven track record and an established infrastructure.
Low risk investment of carefully chosen off-plan properties offer excellent long term appreciation potential and rental income opportunities.
To secure low risk investments, down payments may be higher and less flexible than a medium to high risk investment although established markets which are classified as a low risk investment do offer more flexible mortgages.
Examples of low risk property investments include Spain and Portugal
Medium to Higher Risk Property Investments
Medium to higher risk property investments go hand in hand with emerging markets. Today, there are a wide range of such investments to choose from ranging from luxury apartments and penthouses on the beachfront to villas on the golf course.
Off-plan property in emerging markets can sometimes be secured with a smaller deposit and the balance may not be due until the construction is completed or alternatively payment of the balance may be staggered throughout the construction period.
Investing early on in the development process will enable you to take advantage of the lowest developer prices, lower capital input and gain the highest capital appreciation potential over the term of investment.
Investor returns from medium to high risk property markets can be between 15-30% or more per year and achieved much sooner than low risk investments.
Examples of medium risk property investments include Morocco, Hungary and Bulgaria
