An investment property is a significant financial investment and needs to be carefully considered. The deposit required is more than one for your family home, typically 40% of the purchase price.
Investment property makes money in two ways, from weekly rent and capital gains. Rent is the most immediate form of income and also the most reliable. Usually, the rent is used to pay off the mortgage on your investment property. Capital gains is what you achieve when your investment increases in value. In addition to selling your property, you can also make the most of these gains by topping up your mortgage.
