South Africa

[Zacharias Salva]

On my long drive from Kansas City to Texas, I happened to listen to a TED talk on the subject of investment in Africa, in which the speaker alluded heavily to the real estate potential in South Africa. Just curious if anyone has turned their attention towards this particular country or other countries in Africa. As an investor I would be extrememly hesitant to assume the risks involved - perhaps my bias overweighs this presumption. However I'm just prodding the cow to see if anyone out there at least shares an interest.

Hi Zacharius,

My wife is from Capetown and after visiting her family there last year, I absolutley fell in love with Capetown! We have discussed the idea of purchasing rental property in some of the nicer area's in Capetown in the near future. Luckily for us however, being from Cape Town, she has family there to watch over the property once we purchased. So yes, definitely have thought about it and certainly planning on it in the future. Please let me know if you'd like to discuss further.

Cheers,

Lawrence
