Investing in Europe?

[Alex K]

I'm wondering how Australia and NZ citizens view investing in property in Europe? Apart from huge choice and variety because of the number of countries and locations in Europe, what's the general opinion?

I can think of distance as a main problem, as in, if you don't think about moving permanently yourself, investing can seem a risky business, since you can't just be there every time you have/want to. Is it a real problem?

So, is it popular, in Australia and NZ, to look for property investments in Europe? Or the European market is not high on the list when it comes to properties [even though financial aspects do seem favorable]?

Hello Alex,
The European market keeps being favorable for investing, depends what is the main target: turnover, the summerhouse, favorable climate conditions, the closeness to the business centers, mastering of the language, etc.
I am presenting the Spanish real estate market and I could advise you on this beautiful as well as investment-attractive place in Europe.

I think to overcome the issue of distance, you'd need very trustworthy property managers in the foreign country. Regular due diligence would also help, which means you visiting and checking up on the place once in a while. I'd suggest that you invest in Aus or NZ first so you can understand the local issues and challenges, before going overseas though.
