Swedish Property Investment - Strong Returns in a Safe & Secure Market

A strong property market that offers safe returns - it's a while since we've heard much about that in the current climate. 

One of the markets which seems to be plodding along, doing its own thing and ignoring everything else going on in the world is Sweden. It is considered by property investors as one of the most safe, secure and transparent property markets in the world, and that takes some doing.

It's funny that you don't hear very much about it but, it is probably because it is difficult to make investing in buildings like banks and restaurants sound like too much fun (that's a picture of a Swedish bank at the bottom of this piece, just to show you how just how boring they can look. We went for a little bit of Swedish coastal magic as the intro picture, a little more alluring I think you'll agree, but not nearly as profitable.) But Swedish commercial property works. It pays the bills and then some. That's all you need from a property investment but it is amazing how difficult it can be to actually achieve this relatively simple objective.

Don't say we didn't tell you so. 

Syndicated Property Investment - Tread Warily

Syndicates, a new way to invest? Well not really, syndicates have been around for decades, but only recently has it become a common vehicle for the 'ordinary investor'. Before this it was a vehicle only applicable in the realms of the Bill Gates' and Warren Buffet's of this world. By an ordinary investor we mean those with 50-100k to invest. OK, so it's not buttons but in terms of property it is not an astronomical amount of money.

The proliferation of syndicates in Ireland over the past five years or so has meant that, as with anything else available in bulk, quality has suffered. Indeed, an investor I met recently visited a seminar by a company purporting to have lined up several properties in Germany for an upcoming syndicate. Unfortunately for the company, the owner of one of the properties was Irish, was present at the seminar and swore blind he had no intention of selling the property in question seeing as he had only bought it six months previously. What are the chances?

It just goes to show, if you are getting involved in a syndicate you need to know that the guys with whom you are getting involved aren't going to pull the wool over your eyes. It is now, more than ever, extremely important to do a certain amount of due diligence on the company, their products and the property they are claiming as part of their proposed fund.
