If you are a property investor currently following the news and listening to all the different opinions by the economists, property experts and other financial institutions, you will know that there is a lot of speculation out there.

Typical trending topics of conversations include:

1. What will the interest rate do over the next couple of years?
2. Should I fix my interest rate?
3. Property value, where will the best growth opportunities be?
4. Is now the right time to invest?
5. How stable is the tenant market during these times?

Be careful not to lend an ear to the hearsay of the market, rather speak to the reputable sources.

Whether you are looking for your first investment property, or you are an experienced property investor, the golden rule when investing should always be not to live above your means. Make sure that you put contingencies in place to assist you during uncertain times and unforeseen circumstances.  If you know that a possible defaulting tenant will impact your cash flow dramatically and you do not have surplus funds, you should consider taking out rental insurance as part of your contingency plan.

Is now the right time to buy an investment property? The answer is quite simply, yes. Would you prefer to buy property when the interest rate is high or when it is low? Low of course.  Interest rates will not remain at an all-time low forever so you should think about how much interest you are saving while it is.  This is an opportunity for you to have a larger disposable income to buy something better or even more than one property.

Be careful when considering fixing your interest rate. Also ensure that you buy property in an area with proven high demand for tenants.

“Buy-to-let should be the foundation of your property investment portfolio. It teaches you how to invest and should be the property that causes you the least amount of maintenance headaches. It should, therefore, allow you to focus your efforts on looking for more investment options.  Luckily, when you buy from Central Development’s specialised buy-to-let team, the opportunities will come to you.” – Charl van Niekerk (Buy2Let Property Investment Ambassador)
