Investment In Property


Almost every experienced investor or adviser will tell you that you need a balanced investment portfolio and that property should be a cornerstone...


If you are considering making an investment in property, either for the first time or as an experienced property investor, you should know already that nothing comes easy in life and that you have to do your homework to succeed.

There are the obvious questions such as location, how much you can afford and what sort of property investment finance best suits your situation. Dig a little deeper and you quickly start to understand that, although property investment has great potential in terms of income, capital gain and eventually wealth, it is a serious business. As bright as the upside may appear, the practicalities of finding, investing in and operating an investment property also carries with it additional effort and some risk.

However, if you are smart enough to be considering investing in property as part of your overall investment strategy and plan, you are probably also capable of weighing up the advantages against any potential downside.

Here are just a few things for you to consider

  • Location - including access to transport and facilities in relation to what your tenants are seeking
  • Property investment finance – often very different to a typical home loan
  • Tax – discuss the best structure with your accountant well before you start looking
  • Time – buying and then operating an investment property takes a lot of time
  • More time – consider over what period you are going to own your investment property
  • Budget – work out all the upfront and ongoing fees, commissions and outgoings
  • Cash flow – understand the importance of balancing income and expense timing
  • Selling – what are the resale prospects if or when you decide to capitalise on your position
There’s heaps more to understand and a visit to your local bookstore will deliver you a myriad of great guides on investment in property... the real key is to find the best investment property for you.
