As a property investor you realise that to improve your investment and maximise your return you need to find the right property in the best location and to buy it at the lowest possible price before other investors get in before you. In this current market there are many different factors to take into consideration when investing in emerging markets as well as the pitfalls to be avoided.

W.I.N.S takes away the worry of making the wrong investment.

Overview
It is important that as with any investment before buying a property that you complete a thorough background check and research in order that you acquainted with and are knowledgeable on all areas of the planned investment. Worldwide Investment Network Services (W.I.N.S) are here to help you with gaining this information and to be able to offer an in-depth level of knowledge; which allows our members to make informed decisions about the areas in which to purchase and the type of property, to maximise the amount of profit within a desirable timescale.

Return On Investment/Risk Level
Ordinarily investing early in a developing market affords the highest return on an investment, however in some situations, this is also affiliated with highest level of risk. As W.I.N.S handles property that is chiefly for investment and the main aim is to create an ample amount of profit for the investor. Therefore it is vital that the investor fully understands the whole buying process, what finance may be available including precisely the funds required and when they are needed, allowing maximum cash flow.

However we do advise that the investor resources all are for their investment and seeks independent financial advice where needed to make sure that their investment is suited to their individual stipulations.
In order for the market to continue to grow there are a number of different factors or ‘market drivers’ that as an investor you need to be aware of and are listed below:

Location
This factor is always an important one when purchasing any property. The location of the investment is directly associated with the yield of the profit an investor can make both with capital growth and rental income. As a company we recommend that an investor thoroughly researches property prices and rental prices both in the area that they are interested in as well as the areas around it and where possible visit these areas personally.

Cost/value
Buying a property is only a good investment if it is bought at an optimum price, which allows for the value of the property to grow or to bring a healthy rental return in relation to cost.

Infrastructure
An excellent indicator of a good investment area is when there are improvements made to the infrastructure on a large-scale. In most scenarios this includes most importantly roads, additional airports, ports, other services, local attractions and amenities. These developments also indicate a commitment by the local government to assist with improvement and growth of the local area.

Natural Factors
These factors are the most obvious ‘market drivers’. Many locations base their bid to develop tourism and the property market on the basis that that the location has good weather, beautiful beaches or in the area of quality ski resorts. These aspects are important but it is vital that as an investor that you consider the other ‘market drivers’ as well.

Tourism
This factor is the main reason that allows many emerging property investment markets to become an enticing and successful property market. As tourists become more adventurous and independent when choosing their holiday and with the development of low cost flights many areas that have been previously unknown for holiday makers are now offering an exciting holiday destination.

Stability
With the current situation round the world in relation to terrorism it is important to ensure that the area you are considering investing in is stable before any investment is made. Also political stability is another important factor in creating a strong investment market driver.

Due Diligence
After the investor has completed all the initial background research to ensure that the investment will bring the required return within an acceptable timescale it is vital to ensure that the vendor is reliable and sound. Recently there have been many situations in which the developer has taken money from investors for projects for which they have don’t own the land, have no tile deeds or for which they have no planning permission. Building has often not gone ahead or stopped and subsequently the investor has lost part or all of their money.
On the positive side W.I.N.S can offer you investment that have undergone their Due Diligence and are as secure as possible. A few of the usual checks that are carried out are listed below.
In some circumstances an investment opportunity may be offered without all of these criteria being met. This situation may arise when a project is highly desirable and offered prior to all the checks were completed for the opportunity to invest may be ‘snapped up’ by other investors. In this case a report from an independent lawyer is issued, listing the current due diligence status, thus allowing the investor to make an educated risk. Also part of the money is held back by the lawyer and is only paid one the due diligence is completed.
