Overseas property investment can be a profitable affair if your decisions are more calculative than impulsive. Calculations do not necessarily make things critical. On the contrary, some simple calculations can save you a lot of money, time and energy. Let us do some psychological calculations as the first step towards overseas property investment. Why are you thinking of investing in overseas property?

Do you visit that place regularly or do you plan to visit that place regularly? If you are simply planning to visit that place regularly, are you sure that this mindset will last for a longer period? Are you investing in some overseas property to use it as a regular source of income? If yes, than have you have done all the necessary groundwork like business model, target market, estate positioning etc. For example if you are planning to invest on overseas property to earn on rental than you should consider things like:

1) Does that area get enough visitors who may eventually turn up to your door to rent it!

2) What are your plans to inform your target audience about the availability of the space!

3) Is that location open for those people who can afford to rent your place!

4) Is your place underdeveloped for the regular visitors!

5) Can you manage the business from your home!

6) If the answer to question number 5 is in negative, than have you got any reliable source that will take care of the business in your absence!

7) Etc. Are you planning to settle down in that place after retirement? If yes, can you speak the local language or do they speak English!

These are only some sample questions that can help you take primary calculative steps towards overseas property investment. The investors, who are reluctant to think about these issues as pointless, often end up with huge loss. Apart from this, you must look for communication facilities and other related issues. However, if you are looking for cheap investments, you should look for developing areas.
