Central and South America may, at first, seem rather distant and exotic when considering property investment. Yet it is worth remembering that for North Americans, it’s not too different from a Northern European buying in the Med!

South America’s colonial history gives it a distinctly European atmosphere. The natural beauty and diversity of the region – from the Andes to the Amazon – provides a stunning location for a range of property investments.

The region has not enjoyed the long term, rapid economic growth levels of South East Asia, but for the most part, economic development is beginning to take hold.

As with all of the world’s developing regions, there are pockets of wealth and stability amid areas of poverty and instability. Nevertheless, with the right guidance, selecting stable property investment opportunities is achievable.

The obvious markets for property investments are Mexico and Brazil (particularly Rio and Bahia). However, major cities in the region from Buenos Aires to San Jose also provide interesting investment opportunities.

American investors are some way ahead of their European counterparts in taking advantage of the excellent investment opportunities in the region. This is primarily due to their geographical proximity and because much of the rental yield from properties is denominated in Dollars due to the prominence of American tourists.

South and Central America offers some stunning investment opportunities in one of the most beautiful and exotic regions of the world. Prices remain low, but this is changing fast as American investment in the region ramps up.
