There are no guarantees on rental income or capital appreciation. Having said that, and as you both love Florida, there are some attractive opportunities in Orlando property with the current GBP/USD excahnge rate. If you who want a holiday home to enjoy for your family vacations, with the potential for rental income at other times, it's worth a look.

I hope somebody didn't pitch you that the above cities have inflated prices when they were trying to get you to buy in their region ?[/quote]

Good for you wghosh. Its just that not so long ago you didn't so confident in where to invest. Best of luck with your investment.

What are the criterias that makes an overseas holiday home, a realistic dreamed one?Quality?Price?Location?

Someone can find his/her dream overseas holiday home in line with his/her budget, what really matters is to make a proper research.

Is it better to have a 1+1 studio in Spain, 10 km from the sea, in an over crowded development, or a 3+2 in Turkey, Egypt, Morocco etc, right by the sea, for exactly the same price (if not less)...

If you are buying it as a holiday home it is ok. If it is as an investment it must be done on a realistic economic evaluation. Otherwise you buy nothing more than a caravan which is a deteriorating asset

Israel. They use American Dollar which is very low now. It's a good place to invest now. especially around Tel Aviv.

Watch with the $ as it appears it still has further to fall?
