Take a look at the global property guide web site. They posted a report titled "London and Monaco are Europe’s most expensive cities for residential property buyers"

This lists european cities & gives an idea of capital costs & rental returns.

(Sorry - I'm disallowed from posting a link)

Toronto, Ontario is booming and still underpriced. You can still find new Buy to let properties for under $500/sq ft. Overseas investors can get financing at 35% down and the rental income pays the mortgage and maintainance cost. Average appreciation on investment is 30% a year. if serious write and I'll email you the documents to justify it.

Here's a link to the GlobalPropertyGuide rankings of yields per city:

Global Property Guide - Comparative Graph Analysis

I think that these figures should be taken with a large pinch of salt though. I've checked their figures on many occasions and very often they are very far out.

Our current tips for jet-to-let with long-term tenants are currently:

1. Bratislava
2. Sofia
3. Podgorica

Many thanks!

Looking at buying 1/2 bed. Apt. for around £45/50000. [when i have managed to sell my new one in Sunny Beach!]

I would look at Tirana, the capital of Albania. You can get a lot for your money in Tirana as the price per square metre is very low. And mortgages for foreigners up to 70% or 80% LTV. Excellent capital growth prospects too. Have a look into it.....

The best buy to let markets are
1. Where the rental pays costs of mortgage and maintenance
2. Easy to manage and maintain

Do emerging markets have this.
I agree Albania is possibly interesting for capital growth with good mortgages in place.
But how you going to get the locals to rent your properties. With a translator, and ...

Are there enough people with money to be able to pay the rent. The yields in places like Estonia were woeful, it is the same as in Romania. The numbers dont stack up.

The only place I know is La France. France. 6% rental yield covers mortgage and maintenance, not so exciting but steady. Free hold not lease. 80% mortgages. Safe.

Making money with safety. Boring but bankers normally are.

Yes Goldberg Global, you are right. The rental market in Tirana is still quite new. But rental demand is growing - without a translator . A lot of overseas companies are setting up offices there, and there is huge commercial construction going on at the moment. So initially the demand will come from expats, then students and the emerging middle class professionals.
But with prices for a nice large modern one bed from £19,000 - £22,000, the mortgage on these could be approx £100/ month. Putting £100/ month into an emerging European capital city apartment may be a great alternative to a savings plan.
Either way, I still believe Tirana has excellent but-to-let potential.

Interesting.
I saw some stats yesterday, Moldova capital had the best rental yields than anywhere in the world, 15%. Is a punt, but it should go up in value. Moldova just north of Romania. prime position for EU entry if it came around.
