Best Places to Invest in Real Estate in 2012

Reuters recently published an article highlighting that the United States remains the top choice for most commercial real estate investors followed by Brazil according to a survey of members of the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate (AFIRE). The report noted that many commercial real estate investors have focused on "gateway" cities such as New York, Washington, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Boston which has driven up prices in many of those markets. The AFIRE survey also showed that 60% of respondents plan to purchase additional commercial properties in the United States in 2012 while 42.2% noted that they believed that the US would offer the best bang for their buck. Many investors also have great confidence in Brazil with 18.6% of respondents indicating that Brazil showed the best value for their financial investment.
