Best Places To Buy International Vacation Property

More and more people are feeling more confident in our economy and as a consequence are feeling more secure in their personal finances as well.  Maybe you already own your home, are actively investing and saving.  In other words, you're feeling pretty secure financially.  Many who find themselves in this position decide to travel.  But what if your traveling could also be a way to invest wisely?

According to an article at EscapeHere.com, there are deals to be had out there when it comes to investing in vacation properties.  Check out the article HERE if you want the full list of 10 that the article highlights.  But here are their recommended top 3 and what makes them so appealing.

Argentina



With mountains, jungles and big cities, too, Argentina has something for everyone.  And with the Argentinian economy being healthy and growing, it makes a great place for investing in property.  So what are we talking about, moneywise?  How about $75,000 USD for a vineyard or $65,000 USD for a 2-acre lot in the coveted patagonian region with it's snow-capped mountains and beautiful thaw lakes?

Costa Rica



Costa Rica has a very low standard of living so you can afford a lot here.  And it is one place that should stay green for a long time to come...Costa Rica is very forward thinking in sustainable technology and environmental practices.  Doing a quick search on Viviun.com, which lists international real estate, shows that you can buy 3 acres of land with a waterfall, ocean views, bordering a biologic reserve and overlooking the Baru River Valley for $195,000 USD.  That's cheaper than a lot on any of the popular lakes here in Minnesota!

Albania



Albania borders Greece and is across the sea from Italy.  With it's mediterranean climate and lifestyle, it's like a much cheaper version of Greece.  And according to the article, "For $50,000, you can get a beach-front apartment, and since the country’s successful transition to capitalism, the economy is just going up, and bringing property values with it."
