Ensure your purpose is clear
Before diving into any decisions, first ask yourself; what type of investment you’re looking for and clearly establish your motivations. Are you looking for real estate in Cambodia? Are you going to live in the property and resell at a later time? Do you plan on living and doing business there? Are you investing for the short or long-term? These are all key questions that you should have clear answers to before moving any further in the investment process.

All of this key information is available from multiple online and published sources.
Examine the property’s potential
Depending on what type of property you’ve chosen, it is critical to undertake further research, such as which locations can offer you the lowest price for the highest potential for growth and profit. Being completely honest with yourself about what you can afford and the actual return on investment, is something you need to be completely clear on.
Keep in mind when examining the property’s potential you will have to factor in variables such as; maintenance, repair, and business fees attached to the property. Payment terms, loans and interest will also affect the total amount you need to spend to secure your investment.
