If you’ve decided to invest in overseas real estate and buying a house, you may be wondering which countries are best, which countries will give you the biggest returns, or which countries have the easiest process to get approved for a mortgage or real estate loan. In some locations investing and getting a mortgage is easier than others. Here are the top 10 best countries to invest in real estate, starting with Belize:

1. Belize

Belize, specifically Ambergris Caye, is an affordable location. You can easily purchase a beachfront property for less than $300,000. Since this area of Belize is relatively quiet, it’s ripe for a boom.

2. Nicaragua

With charming restored colonial homes, Granada, Nicaragua is one of the best places to buy a vacation property. Renovated properties are selling for under $400,000, but you could choose to go with a fixer-upper for just $50,000. Think of all the possibilities!

3. Italy

A charming hillside region, Abruzzo makes for a great investment. This beautiful region has lots of local flair, and you can purchase a home that needs work for just $45,000. With renovated properties selling for at least four times that much, you can easily turn a profit.

4. Argentina

South America’s Argentina has lots to offer tourists and locals alike. This coastal country is affordable, too. Especially in the bustling city of Buenos Aires. As the city is rapidly expanding, now is the time to get in on this hot investing opportunity.

5. Greece

While the country’s economy has had issues, investors have a golden opportunity in this beautiful Mediterranean country. With history and culture, an investment in Greek real estate is sure to pay off.

6. Thailand

Exotic and highly traveled, Thailand is a gorgeous country with lots of excitement. Many Westerners and expatriates choose to purchase property in Thailand for its value. Another advantage is the Thailand-US Amity Treaty, which allows U.S. citizens special privileges in owning Thailand property.

7. Indonesia

Indonesia is another fantastic location in Southeast Asia. As Indonesia is on the equator, it enjoys great weather. This destination is a perfect vacation spot and is easy to rent or sell.

8. Malta

Malta is a small island that is isolated from many things, including global financial issues. It’s a great investment location because it’s a solid investment. For around $300,000, a nice 2-bedroom property in Malta is a great buy.

9. Mexico

South of the border you can find incredible investment properties. Playa del Carmen will give you the most for your money, and with a steady influx of tourists from all over the world you’ll always be able to find a tenant. Plus it’s a nice place to visit and easily accessible from the United States.

10. Panama

Historic and lively, Panama is a safe place to buy. As a U.S. citizen, you’ll enjoy great tax benefits in Panama. Panama does not charge income tax for the first 10 years of your investment.

No matter where you choose to buy, these ten countries will provide you with a great location, return on investment, and easy options to mortgage your selected property.
