Make sure that you travel to the country and view a range of Land and properties. We can make up a good shortlist of properties that fit your individual criteria, which will save you time and effort. PLEASE be very careful about so-called fly and buy trips - the pressure to buy from the sales team - many of whom work on a commission-only basis - can be horrendous. Only go on a fly and buy trip if you are certain that you are better at refusing than they are at selling.
And beware - the sales people are very clever indeed. It happened to many clever investors, buyers and even high end developers. So be with the right honest and serious professionals who are originally from the country. This advice apply also for all overseas property market. Many real estate have closed their agencies and their businesses and immigrated to Morocco and other emerging market to sell properties and land even they don't know anything about that country pretending that they know everything because they are salespeople.
