Why Invest in Property
May 2nd 2006 03:52
In order to build long term wealth, it’s a no brainer that you need to diligently put aside savings and invest this money wisely so as to firstly offset depreciation by inflation and also maximize your rate of return. There are several investment options, managed funds, bonds, holding accounts, shares and property investment. Rates of return are usually associated with a level of risk. Generally, investments which deliver the greatest rates of return are associated with the greatest risk. That is to say that these investments are highly volatile. In good conditions, an investment can yield astronomical rates of return. Conversely, in bad conditions, these investments can also suffer high levels of loss. The shares market is considered a risker investment compared to the property market. That is to say that the shares market can potentially make greater returns, however, the property market offers greater stability and security in comparison.
For longer term investments, such as retirement funding, the security of the property market makes it a favourable option compared to the risker shares market. The property market is tends to be the haven investors rush to when other assets suffer. In practice, a good retirement investment strategy would include a combination of several types of investment options to insulate against a crash in any given investment. Like all investments, a property asset must be monitored to ensure that adequate returns are being yielded by the property.
“All investments need a benchmark to measure performance against. Residential property isn't any different, yet few investors monitor their returns.”
The benefits of property investment include capital growth and the tax advantages associated with negative gearing.
