CibbuanoProperty Investment in the USA
July 7th 2006 00:17
The USA is currently looking like another hot area to be investing some money into. Actually, I really like the idea of investing in the States right now as I think there is a critical window of opportunity for foreign investors. Globally, the hot new shit on the block is in Asia. China and India are becoming economic superpowers by the day. The two problems are that firstly, everyone already knows about it. Then secondly, if you are a foreigner getting a slice of the Chinese pie is very difficult. It is extremely hard to directly get involved in investing in the Chinese economy. The best way is to buy shares in a company that is heavily involved in China’s industry and is therefore reaping the benefits of the economic boom. As for buying a property, if you don’t have citizenship, forget it.
I still think that there is investment potential in Asia and some reasonable returns to be made, but let’s just say the cat is already out of the bag. The hysteria over the economic boom in the area has already started which means a savvy investor should have been looking at investing long ago. The hardest, yet smartest thing to do when it comes to choosing investments is to not follow the crowd. If you do get the opportunity to invest in Asia I believe there is greater potential in the smaller growth markets rather than the big league Chinese and Indian markets.
So why is America looking like such a good prospect right now? Well for starters the Australian economy is doing rather well compared with the US dollar. This means when exchange rates are factored into the equation you should be able to get a lot more bang for your investment buck in America now than you would have been able to 15 years ago. With the weakening of the US dollar and the strengthening of the Aussie dollar, investing in America has suddenly become very affordable.
Future prospects forecast that the American dollar will strengthen in years to come. New presidential elections are in the pipeline. The approval ratings for Bush are sinking by the second which means a new government is going to have to deliver on some big policy changes to boost the American morale. I think America is set to rebound, perhaps not to its former glory with the might of foreign economies apply some pressure, but there’s life in the old dog yet. Should the American dollar regain some strength against the Aussie dollar, any overseas investment is going to make a relative increase in value.
The other great feature about purchasing property in the USA is the number of people and greater demand that exists over there. The American population is growing and urban areas continue to spread and develop into larger regional areas and cities. There is more liquidity in American properties. Buying and selling is far more easier and faster than in Australia simply because there is a greater demand for housing.
