• Ensure you buy a property that provides the best mix of stable and lucrative rental income, and a strong capital growth potential.  For the majority of us, we will not find this property in the area in which we live. If you are not sure, take professional advice, but in principle:
  • Choosing the right type of property is essential, but can be difficult for those who do not understand the market
  • Location is important, both for attracting tenants to ensure the void periods are minimised, and for capital growth
• Property can take time to buy or sell, so you do not have instant access to your investment
