“The greatest enemy of the investor is not taxation or inflation; it is simply inertia” –Noel Whittaker
It’s certainly something to think about. Sometimes potential investors are too strategic, too calculating and too skittish. In fact, such investors sabotage their success before they even start. In making sure that they have no risk, they end up having no opportunity. By the time they have completed all of their analysis, the opportunities have long since passed them by.
Seizing opportunities with investment properties
Mr. Whittaker’s quote is particularly apt to those considering getting into the real estate investment market. There’s never going to be an exactly perfect time to enter the market. Those who wait and wait, trying to time it just right, risk missing out on significant capital gains. Better to jump right in. The good news is that there’s never a wrong time to in the real estate market either. Historically, real estate in Australia has steadily and surely gained in value over time. The only way to ensure that you catch every dollar of capital gain is to always own real estate.
Investment properties can take you from running from job to job, trying to pay your basic living expenses, to sitting back and letting your money earn money for you, virtually while you sleep. A small amount of equity or a modest deposit will secure that first property for you. You’ll start earning rental income a capital gains from day one. Your rental income can be used to pay off that first property and then to help pay off a second property, and that process goes on exponentially and allows you to purchase even more properties faster and faster.
