So if you’ve got equity and a borrowing capacity then now is the time to buy, but not everywhere.
Why have investors stopped buying?
Having said that property investing conditions are the best that I have seen in 20 years, then why have investors stopped buying?
I believe the answer is that many “would be” new investors have been frightened off by the instability of the mortgage lending institutions and the regulatory bodies that control them.
By this I mean “would be” investors have serious fears about:
For someone new to the world of investing and finance, these unknowns are too horrific for them to contemplate rationally, especially when it comes to them needing to borrow several hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy an investment property. So instead of taking advantage of these current superb investing conditions, many are sitting tight and waiting until some certainty returns to the market.
What can you do to overcome these obstacles?
You can take advantage of the best investing conditions that I have seen in the last 20 years by understanding that property investing is not really about property…it’s about finance.
The property you buy is collateral for the loan and the banks will want collateral for the money they lend you. If you can borrow money from a bank at 5% and make 10% on it,then you are on a good wicket, using someone else’s money to make you more money.
The good thing about property is that the banks see lending for property as lower risk and will lend you up to 90% of the property’s value. Lending to buy shares on the other hand is seen by banks as a much higher risk, hence why they will only lend you around 70% of the value of the share and if the value drops below a certain level, will make you top up your loan.
Investing in property is not about the property
Current conditions are absolutely ripe for investing in property, however property really isn’t about property, it’s really all about finance and that the reasons why you are not investing in the current property market is not about the market conditions but more about the finance, the changes and finance industry.
That is you don’t want to be screwed over by the banks, APRA, ASIC or future Labour governments after you’ve bought an investment property. So how can you avoid being screwed over by these institutions?
The answer lies with the finance brokers and coaches that you choose to plan your way through the finance maize. A great finance coach will be one who will be able to:
