Foreign direct investment in U.S. real estate increased sharply over the last 10 years. The increase was due to a variety of factors, most notably the globalization of the real estate industry. U.S. real estate is attractive to foreign investors for a number of reasons including its diversification, openness, size and selection. U.S. real estate is a good hedge against inflation and generally has a high return on investment. Foreign investors may wish to establish U.S. market presence or increase their market holdings. Individual foreign investors from a smaller countries, such as the Netherlands, Korea or Taiwan, may have few options to invest internally within their native country. U.S. Real estate is a safe investment in what otherwise can be a rocky marketplace.

Although home sales are slowing in some U.S. cities and some economists are predicting slower appreciation, now is the perfect time to buy American residential real estate. Eventually the U.S. dollar will likely strengthen, causing the value of U.S. real estate holdings to appreciate when converted back into foreign currencies. Additional profits may be gained from favorable exchange-rates. U.S. real estate appreciation will continue to out pace returns in many Asian, European and Middle Eastern markets where high taxes on real estate profits discourage local real estate investment. In the versatile Washington DC real market we are experiencing a boom in world-wide investment. Low interest rates and an increasing flow of foreign capital have allowed investment to be funneled into the lucrative Northern Virginia real estate market.

Investment in North American real estate is among the safest places to speculate world-wide.

Demand has been growing rapidly for information about overseas real estate and the Virginia market with a strong local high-technology economy and close proximity to the economic engine of the Federal Government in Washington DC is very desirable for foreign real estate investors and investment groups.

Northern VA has a wide variety of investment real estate to choose from with flats, condominiums, town homes, and single family detached homes. For investors we have both fee simple town homes and condominium townhomes. Condos are available in garden style, mid-rise and high-rise. With most of the inside the beltway Northern VA properties built prior to 1970 we have traditional single family ramblers, ranchers, cape cods and salt box colonials, closer-in to Washington DC. The further out you consider your residential investment home the more modern the architectural styles and generally the newer the properties. Investment purchase costs typically decline as you get further from the urban center but suburban income property monthly rental rates are lesser too.

Inside the beltway and in higher density urban areas we have considerable investment property that is close to business centers or within reasonable-to-good commuting time and distance to Washington DC. Income property near the subway system (Metro) is also highly coveted by many investors and investment pool groups. Suburban residential neighborhoods offer a variety of investment potential and a wide variety of properties. There are residential income properties in limited supply with the following amenities: golf course investment, lake front investment, waterfront investment. In the past decade there has been a number of active adult and retirement communities built with rising popularity, limited supply and should be considered for a diversified residential real estate investment portfolio.

As we enter 2008, there is a lot of quality real estate with foreign investment potential for sale in Northern Virginia including: residential resale homes for sale, new home construction with attractive builder incentives, traditional multi-unit dwelling investment properties and even some raw land and lots for sale. The residential resale homes market has been very stable in the more affluent Northern VA USA communities. Short Sales, Pre-Foreclosures and Foreclosures have been more concentrated in lower assess valued single family, town home and condo neighborhoods.
