I got some info on a "Polska Fund" through a PrimaFinance.ie email newsletter.
What do you think of it?

Unique Polish Property Investment offering Return of 15.5% Annually
The Polska Fund offers Irish investors a unique opportunity to invest in the growing Polish residential property market. The fund will focus on developments in the capital Warsaw and the second city of Krakow.
Investors funds will be used to purchase prime development sites, a number of which have been identified. These sites will be used for the construction of quality apartments, mainly for the local market. Funds will be spread across a number of different development projects to spread investors' risk. The Polish market is poised for growth with an additional 1.6 million households by 2010. There is poor quality existing housing stock and with growing real wages, demand for new properties is expected to be very strong.
The following are the key features of the investment.
* €21 million to be raised in investor loans over a nine month period. Minimum unit investment of 100,000. (Ask us about loan facilities for this investment)
* The investment will have a term of between 2 and 4 years.
* Returns. It is anticipated that the fund will pay a fixed preferential return of 15.5% compounded annually. On this basis an investment of 100,000 would grow to 178,000 after 4 years. Please note that the return will not be paid on an interim basis - only when properties are developed and sold.
* It is expected that investors contributions will be secured on the actual development sites, though the investment will rank after bank debt used for the construction of the apartments. Investors will get priority on return of funds before any return to the developers.
* Taxation. This should be regarded as a material investment in an offshore fund. Therefore the gains on the investment would be subject to tax of 23% for individuals and 25% for companies. This should also be an attractive investment from a tax point of view for pensions.
It is anticipated that the entire fundraising process will end soon so if you are interested, please call us on 1890 456 700 or send us an email with your contact details. Approximately 10 million has already been raised so please contact us soon if you are interested in obtaining an information memorandum.
