In these lean economic times the opportunities for sound investments are few and far between. In more favourable times the market for overseas investment property is awash with potential investors looking for a strong investment and a taste of luxury in far flung corners of the world. In these unsteady times, are there still favourable opportunities out there just waiting to be snapped up?

The answer is a definite yes; however, it is extremely important to have a realistic set of aims in place before you go looking for your dream overseas investment property.

Principally there are two different types of overseas property investments. Buy to let investments and capital gains investments. In both approaches to investment the location you choose is crucial. If you are looking to for a buy to let investment then you need a location where you can buy cheaply enough to still earn a solid rental yield once your usage has been accounted for. To maximise your investment, high occupancy and rental rates are essential in tandem with a relatively low initial outlay. 

Capital gains property investment is a lot simpler. In the long term almost any investment in bricks and mortar will appreciate, with a few peaks and troughs along the way. Of course certain areas offer better returns than others. The Caribbean is an area which has seen year-on-year increases in the value of real estate for the past 30 years. The location for a capital gains only investment is completely down to you as the rental demand will not be a factor.

There are a range of overseas investment property deals for you to consider, with many offering a simple, structured deal. Guaranteed rental yields are particularly popular at the moment, with many overseas investment property firms offering set rental yields with personal usage included. There are also a number of deals out there offering a guaranteed buy back after a set period for up to 125-150 per cent of the purchase price.

If you’re looking for a great deal on an overseas investment property, Buccament Bay on the unspoilt island of St Vincent and the Grenadines offers personal usage, guaranteed rental yield and significant capital gains.
