RESIDENTIAL ADVERTORIAL
Latecomer, Labourer or Savvy
Which of the following types of investors
are you?
There are three types of property investors we’ve
encountered over the years:
THE LATE DEVELOPER
There are many people who are ignorant of the various
options of how to become a property investor and participate
in property investment market.
When your daily passion is to create wealth utilising
property, you notice how unaware people are that they can
become part of the property investment community.
From people who have just started their career and qualify
for a bond or home loan even with no cash deposit, employees
qualifying for government subsidies, high net worth
individuals or current property owners - the lack of awareness
remains the same.
When talking to millennials, they do not believe they can
nor do they understand how to enter the property investment
market.
Government employees are also not aware that they qualify
for subsidies and many have not purchased any property
during their lifetime.
Do you want to work for your money your whole life to
hopefully, one day, do the things you want to do or rather be
an investor whose money and debt work for you and provide
the opportunity to do what you want to do, now?
THE HARD WORKER
There are people who have already invested and continue to
invest in property, but are still doing it the hard way, instead of
smart way. Are you aware of the current trends and methods to
maximise your returns with the least possible effort?
Certain property investors work hard, obtaining the
required knowledge, with a do-it-yourself approach, not
utilising the knowledge of skilled people, who have already
learned the lessons and can assist you to avoid pitfalls. It’s not
possible to build up the knowledge which trusted property
investment organisations have done for many years in a short
period of time.
THE SMART WORKER
These are the investors who build up knowledge and
strategies to make the best investments possible with above-
market related returns and property as underlying security.
These investors make an impact with the least amount of time
spent.
The wisest property investors initially dedicate time to
study the various options, attend seminars/webinars, read
educational pieces and upskill themselves continuously.
They invest the initial time selecting a property advisor and
organisation, that already has the skill set and proven track
record to provide them with the right opportunities to achieve
their goals. These are the investors whose creditability and
money are working for them!
Whatever you do, get in early. It is a wonderful asset class
and investment vehicle that will change your life forever.
When you look at the residential property market and
performance of property as an investment class in South
Africa over the last 30 years, it has proven that even in the
worst cycles, that it has never had a drastic drop in values and
in the extreme cycles it was one of the asset classes that have
recovered between 9-24 months.
