More about buying a home:
Investing in property can be a smart way to grow assets and create a passive income or nest egg to use in retirement. Owning your own investment property isn’t like planting a money tree, though. Doing it successfully can require investing a lot of time, money and hard work.
Learn more about your options below and reach out to an adviser to talk about your investing goals.
Residential property investing
When conversation turns to property investment, most people think of owning a rental property in addition to their own home and receiving an income from the rent.
If you have equity in your own home, you can use this to help purchase a rental property. If it’s positively geared (i.e. you have a surplus from the rental income you receive after paying any property-related costs) and in a good location, the tenants will pay the mortgage for you and the value may increase.
Owning a rental property can take up a lot of your time and be costly if there is a high tenant turnover, or unexpected changes to expenses like maintenance, rates and insurance.
Commercial property investing
Commercial property investing is a different beast to residential investing altogether because your tenants will be business owners.
How well you do with your commercial property will be impacted by how well your tenants are doing with their business. There are also additional factors that come into play with commercial property which will mean more hoops for you to jump through, especially if you’re needing finance.
Growing your portfolio
Depending on your investment strategy, you may look to expand your investment property portfolio by purchasing additional pieces of real estate.
While this may involve spending more money and spinning more plates, you can leverage properties already in a portfolio to add another or offset its costs.
