Today, owning property in Cyprus is what dreams are made of. It's the new, hot destination that has everyone clamoring for their wallet in order to purchase a piece of the property action. Property on Cyprus is still relatively cheap, but earnest development coupled with the sheer volume of people who want to live in Cyprus and/or holiday there promise to push housing costs through the roof. If you get in on the action now, you could end up making a nice profit.

Sound interesting? Before you pack up everything and move the whole family to Cyprus, you should know that you can make money simply by purchasing a holiday property in Cyprus. You don't have to move there. In fact, you can make more money than with a conventional property investment and still get to enjoy your new holiday home whenever you want to.

How? The following 4 strategies can be used to make money in Cyprus holiday property:

1. Develop and Sell - Right now there is an unbelievable demand for development on the island of Cyprus. You can purchase undeveloped property relatively cheap, develop it as holiday property (condos, villas, cottages, etc.), and sell it off bit by bit to people interested in purchasing Cyprus holiday property.

2. Buy and Hold - Housing prices are expected to soar in Cyprus in the near future. Now is a great time to purchase a holiday property and hold it until the housing bubble in Cyprus fully inflates. In the meantime, you can use your property in Cyprus as a getaway destination or a second home. You may even decide to live in it full time once the charm of the island takes hold of you.

3. Buy to Let - Holiday housing is in great demand on the island, and not everyone can afford to buy. In fact, most people visiting Cyprus seek rental housing. If you own property in Cyprus, you can cash in on this demand by letting out your property to families on holiday. You do not even have to be present to manage your property or book guests. A management company can take care of all of this for you. When you want to stay on Cyprus, all you have to do is black out the time period that you will be living in your Cyprus home.

4. Manage Properties - If you want to be on the other end of the above equation, you can choose to manage other people's holiday properties on Cyprus. However, you may have to make Cyprus your permanent home so you can keep a close eye on your business.

There are so many ways that you can make money by investing in Cyprus properties right now. The opportunities are limitless. With a housing market as hot as the one in Cyprus, it is hard to make a wrong turn or a bad investment choice. The bottom line: If you can afford it; go for it.
