What do you guys feel about investment in Russia more specifically St Petersburg?

Considering their current economic disposition with massive growth due to oil do you feel their is major real estate oppurtunities?

True, but a little late, late meaning prices are very high right now, of course they grow futher but how much is the question, some very nice development going on in the city, be carefull of the agents in Russia, lets say I had some fun with these guys in the past (not fun really, but looking back it was),meaning their crooks, but most are bad crooks in my experance.
Enjoy Russia it's a might country and is in a huge growth stage right now.

The Russian Government has demonstrated scant regard for investors and this trickles right down to ground level.

I would'nt sleep a wink if I invested there.
Why bother when there are places with just as much potential yet 100% safer. I'd point you to East Germany out near the Polish border where prices are low, yields can be high and you benefit from the economic growth of both nations. The border has recently been completely opened so Germans and Poles can come and go as they please.

We have found Poles wanting to rent our German flats!

Honestly, I really have learned over the years that investing without safety is a non starter. Warren Buffet the worlds richest man always bangs on about not taking silly risks.

Good post investy. This could almost be me posting this one. Germany is hard to beat for a variety of reasons.

Does anyone have any information on second and third-tier cities in Russia?

If prices here are still sensibly priced compared to Moscow and St. Pete's, these could be interesting now if they follow the trajectories of Eastern European markets.

Hi,

I am looking for an agent in Russia who can introduce a buyer/investor for a property opportunity in Ireland. We had some interest from "mystery" Russians, but nothing came of it. Region 8 m euro.

Agree. It's very hard to do business over there, very hard. There is a lot of red tape, conflicting laws, crooks, etc... If anyone gets involved, then I recommend to use the buy-improve-flip method,
forget about renting. you will have to be there if you want to rent.. the agents are unreliable and non trustworthy...I can go forever about Russia as I am doing some business there, but considering to pull out...

In Russia it is hard to deal with real estate it is new market. However we had near 200% grow in prices in apartments and they still go up. In 2006 people buy apartments for 40.000 usd now they sale them for more then 200.000 usd.After all it is OK to invest into Russia but fast investment. Long investment better do in Europe.Also the key point is that it is lot of risk in Russia and for safe investment people from outside they can invest in to more safe locationes.

Looking for agent

Just to clarify - I am NOT looking to invest in Russia, I am looking for someone to purchase a property opportunity in Ireland - I am looking for contacts who can help me find a Russian buyer.
