Property Investing - Getting Started
Property Investing has been a popular route to wealth for many Australians for many years. Buying their own home is often the first investment many people make; purchasing another property may well be the second.
But your first investment in property needn't be your home.
Indeed, buying a small investment property to rent out can be a good way to accumulate funds so you can eventually buy your own place.
Increasing numbers of young Australians are choosing this route, buying in one suburb while renting in a more desirable and expensive area or living at home for a while longer.
Why Property Investing?
It has the potential to generate capital growth (an increase in the value of your asset) as well as rental income.
However, as with any investment, there are no guarantees. Property prices go down, as well as up, and sometimes tenants are hard to find especially good ones who pay on time and take care of your investment.
Just about everyone at some time in their life considers investing in property as a vehicle to financial freedom at retirement age. However, only a percentage of those who think about buying a property act and put themselves in a position where they will not have to rely on others for support at retirement.
Interest Rates
Investors need to have a keen awareness of the interest rate environment how higher rates might affect their expected net return and the market for their property should they wish to sell. They also need to make sure the return or yield from their investment property stands up.
