Where are You now in Your Property Investing?

If you have not started your property investing and have some equity in either your home or in cash you could be in the absolute best situation to start growing your wealth.

What do you need to be considering before taking the leap?

I think we could safely say that you will not experience a financial crisis like we have in 2008, for many years to come if ever again. It may not be a rosy picture yet for quite a while but 2009 will unfold in many different ways.

If you are starting to think about property investing you need to do good research and find out as much about buying investment property as you can.

Firstly you need to:

• establish your current income
• find out the equity value in your home or other assets
• add up the cash you have available
• talk to your accountant and see what your tax situation would be as an investor, also what entity you should purchase property in
• talk to a financial advisor to draw up an investment plan
• talk to a mortgage broker and get an idea of how much you can borrow and what is happening in the current lending market
• visit open homes and auctions to start getting an idea of what properties are selling for
• start narrowing down your areas where you may be keen to invest
• re-evaluate the property prices in those areas

At this stage you will have a very good idea where and what you can do to become a property investor. Remember too, there are many seminars available and an abundance of information online as well.
