Which country shall I look into for an investment property?

With the downturn in the american housing market but housing markets still not coming down enough to make it worthwhile to buy right now where abroad should I look to find property that is a value and looking to increase in value in the short or longer term.

This isnt for a primary residence or even a vacation home just for investment purposes. Keep in mind this isnt where you'd necessarily want to live just an area you think or preferably know is an area waiting to expand/boom etc.

It depends on your budget, future plans and your personal financial skills. BRICs..Brazil,Russia, India, China are supposed to be growing markets and therefore the property prices are on a rise. Tokyo, I wouldn't suggest as we saw a very bad situation in the 90s and early 2000s. Though the situation has improved recently but the investment cost is very high along with the language barrier. There are many banks and financial firms dealing in REITS (Real Estate Investment Trsuts). I think REITS should be the best option for you as its an investment in RE and the risk is comparitively much lower.
If you are more keen on owning a property elsewhere I would suggest Mexico for you as you are situated in states.

All the best.

Brazil is very cheap and returns are good.

Mexico.

& ANYWHERE IN THE CARRIBEAN.

Australia, North Queensland. We're booming down here....

Tokyo Japan.
