10 Great Places Around The Globe To Own Property

4) Liguria, Italy

Italy has a great variety of big name cities known for their fashion, history and decadence. Think Milan, Tuscany, Venice and Rome. So, why have I chosen lesser known Liguria? This city of 1.5 million people, while filled with the same amenities and history as the rest of the Italian big dogs, is also slightly more affordable for the new investor, with prospects of a heavy upward swing. Much of Italy has been plagued with economic strife in the 2000’s, however, there are significant signs of an upswing, such as growth in an already heavy tourist market, increased home values and increasing economic stability. Liguria is the pictorial area in Northwest Italy known as the Italian Riviera, dotted with seaside villages which the British can’t seem to get enough of, as they look for their 2nd homes and rental holidays. Investment properties would focus more on the rental and home ownership than in commercial property.
