Assess Your Financial Situation
As a would-be property investor, your first step is to assess your financial situation. You need to know exactly how much you can afford to use as a deposit, what your borrowing capacity is, what assets you have, whether you have any liabilities, and what your working situation is.
It also helps to think about the future as well. For example, if you are a couple looking to have children, how will this impact your future earning potential? Property is typically seen as a medium to long-term investment, which means that you may not see a return straight away. Therefore, it’s important to think about the long-term implications of growing your property portfolio, rather than thinking about it as a quick investment.
Determine Your Goals
Before you start picking out potential investment properties, consider what your long-term goals are. Some clients have aspirations to build a large portfolio with a view to start building towards retirement, while others just want an easy-to-manage property that they can potentially live in later on. These are all important factors to consider when investing in property.
