GUDOGAN, TURKEY
Turkey is one of the rising stars of the overseas property world. Starting from a low-priced beginning, property remains comparatively cheap compared to other emerging nation destinations, for example Bulgaria and Croatia. Access to the nation that straddles Europe and Asia is increasingly easy by charter plane, taking a little over four hours.

AIGUES-MORTES, PROVENCE
Provence is the benchmark by which overseas destinations measure themselves. Year-on-year, the area that stretches from Nice in the east to Montpellier in the west and that heads up into the hills behind the coast tops the most desirable place to live polls as well as returning 10 per cent plus capital growth.

SANTIAGO,CAPE VERDE ISLAND
An archipelago of nine islands in the Atlantic Ocean, 300 miles off the west coast of Africa, the Cape Verde Islands is the nearest tropical destination to the UK. Reached in just under six hours flying time – via Lisbon – at the present time, by 2006 a direct flight from Birmingham to Praia on the island of Santiago will fly passengers there in a little over four hours.

ARGENTINA
The Argentine economy has returned to high rates of growth after the peso's peg to the dollar in January 2002, which led the country to the worst recession on records. Argentina GDP has expanded by 8.8 percent in 2003, 9.0 percent in 2004 and expected over 8.0 percent in 2005, with unemployment falling and inflation remaining under single digit.

Construction has been one of the drivers of growth, and RE values have recovered values previous to 2002 recession, and growing up in specific developing areas like Puerto Madero or Palermo, or traditional areas like Barrio Norte and Recoleta.

Values are far cheaper than in Europe or USA:
- Standard apartments in a good district: 70 to 100 u$ per sq. ft.
- Nice apartments at Barrio Norte or Recoleta: 130 to 150 u$ per sq.ft.
- Top quality at Puerto Madero: 200 to 240 u$ per sq. ft.

Cost of living is also cheaper, the quality of life is probably the best in Latin America, in some cases with cultural activities as good as in Europe, with a wide variety of tourist attractions with diverse climates and landscapes.

For a single investor, the recommendation is Puerto Madero where one could find many developments with expected ROI of 30% in two years if bought previous to the construction.
