I live in southern California – a locale that is teeming with investment opportunities: business, real estate, entertainment, you name it. About 7 years ago, a friend of mine bought a 2 bedroom condo for about $225,000. I thought he was crazy. His condo is now worth over $600,000. He was a genius. Over a 200% return on investment in 6-7 years. While the current US real estate market has not been all roses in the past year, real estate continues to be a potentially very lucrative investment vehicle, especially in other areas of the world.

With this market in mind, there is a growing website that helps connect property investors with property owners – PropertyHome.co.za. PropertyHome was created to serve as a resource and facilitator for many aspects of property investment, as they say on their website, “We have developed a modern premier platform from where all real estate related matters can be addressed. Whether one lists a property for sale or rent, one can virtually immediately search for a match online.”

Through PropertyHome’s services, one can find a real estate home for sale by owner, search for many different properties, advertise a property, find a buyer, find a seller, find a property investment service provider, utilize several property tools & services, and educate yourself on property and home investment. It’s a free website to use—you just need to register with the site. Sites like PropertyHome have grown as a direct response to the global real estate market.

One of the geographic markets that PropertyHome specializes in is South Africa. International investors and South African residents alike are quickly learning that there are many great South Africa houses for sale that are productive and stable investments. Fifteen years ago it would have been very difficult to find quality South Africa property listings, but with the modern help of a website like PropertyHome, such listings are much more easily advertised and found in the international community.

It continually amazes me how different this world has become, in some ways, with the help of the Internet. It has brought the global business marketplace so much closer together, making it more efficient and effective.
