Land is a tangible investment like gold. Depending on demand, its value appreciates creating a return in the form of capital gains for its owner. While the supply of gold can be increased by mining and refining additional quantities, supply of land cannot be increased.
The demand and price of land is determined by its location. In areas where population is increasing and economy is developing, both demand and price go up. If you buy land in such a location, you can expect to reap good returns.

Buy land abroad in a country where land prices are likely to go up and you stand the chance to receive excellent returns on your investment. The key to success lies in selecting the country to invest in. Not only land value appreciation potential but also other factors such as political stability and local legal issues need to be considered before making such investments. The value of land investments lies in its limited availability. When demand goes up for the available land, its price begins to rise. The task of investors is thus to assess whether demand for land is likely to go up in the location they propose to invest in. Rise in population levels coupled with economic development is the best combination that can lead to fast appreciation of land values. Population levels can increase through immigration as well as higher birth and lower death rates. And economic development depends on government policies as well as the entrepreneurial spirit of local residents. By consciously looking at factors like the above, an investor can identify the best location to invest in. Additionally, the investor should carry out a due diligence exercise to evaluate the safety of the investment. The exercise should answer questions like: • Can foreign citizens legally get freehold title over land in the country? • Will the system of land records maintenance ensure dispute-free ownership? • Does the system reliably record all land transactions including charges such as mortgages so that an investor can check whether there are any prior charges on the land? • Are there dependable local agencies that can be entrusted with the task of managing the property on your behalf and adding value to it? Through careful selection of the location and proper due diligence, buying land abroad can prove a great investment that generates excellent returns.
