10 PROPERTY INVESTMENT TIPS FROM A MORTGAGE BROKER

More and more Australians are building wealth through the property market. According to the Australian Taxation Office, there are over 1.7 million landlords in Australia. Over a quarter of these own more than one investment property.

The largest percentage of property investors are not high income earners with the majority falling into the $30,001 – $75,000 income bracket.

Why do we invest in property?

- Wealth Creation

- Retirement Planning

- Capital growth

- Tax Benefits

Your goals might be long term, such as to fund an independent retirement, or short term, such as seeking capital growth during a housing boom. However investors should always look at their investments over the long term with a 7-10 year view if your strategy is to buy and hold.

Finance is equally as important as selecting the right property. In many cases it may even be more important. Why? The amount of property you can buy is determined by the amount of finance you can borrow. So if you don’t get your finance right then you may restrict your borrowing ability to create a large property portfolio. The rich get richer because they have better access to finance.
