» property investment strategy ...
The strategy for investment in property is
simple: buy quality property, manage it actively and keep it. In other words, it is important to buy for yield first – the
investment must stack up well in terms of the cash flow that
you can take from it by way of rent and not be solely reliant
on capital growth. Your investment must perform and be valid
on the basis of its rental income, with any rental or capital
growth be seen almost as a bonus.
Rental property provides both an income and a hedge against
inflation. The income is useful in covering the mortgage
payments. Property that is well located and well maintained
has always held its value compared to inflation, and
properties of good quality will go up in value over inflation.
