Thank you soup dragon for the referral, ref. Midas

The question begins with if you are looking to make money.

Are you looking at income (ie. rental income)
or growth and income later (ie. capital gains)

In some markets (eg. Morocco, 10 year guaranteed rents at 10% or Far East, 3 years at 8% then profit share, or riskier Philippines share scheme!, or safer 6 to 7% yields guaranteed in France)

Capital Growth. (ie. where do you think will grow fastest)

Either route you have to look at your own personal tax situation vis a vis the country you were buying in.

According to Global Property Research group, they had Cairo as the top net buy to let investment, yielding around 11% net. With good capital appreciation too.

You have to factor in hassle, and how hands on you wish to be. And also there is no magic answer, just work and the environment is always changing. Good luck.
