Cons
A downside of jumping into investing in a property abroad is that you may have to put down a large sum for a deposit whereas in the country you’re based, a huge deposit is not necessary.
Something that often leaves people confused is the language barrier. Depending on where you choose to invest, it might be that people don’t speak your mother tongue. This can make negotiating and dealing with the legal aspects quite difficult. Often things get lost in translation and important details are passed, this can cause difficulties further down the line.
The country you are investing in may be going through political or economic change, all these factors can have a large impact on the value of your property. If the worst happens you could stand to loose a lot of money, so make sure you do your homework and are fully confident in the future of your content before you invest.
When you are not around all the time, trust is a major factor in investing abroad. If you are having a home built then you really need to trust the builders you hire. Being abroad you will have no way of regularly checking up on your investment and the progress of your new home. You need to find people that you can rely on to either manage the project or feedback on progress to you. If you’re renting out a holiday home then you also need to make sure you have someone who you can trust to look after it for you.
