Then create layers of interest with accessories from a wide mix of materials and colours – think matte blacks, silvers, monochrome fixtures and touches of wood and terracotta to soften the overall look. words georgina mccormack Pure black knife series by stelton
Investment Wealth Creation Needs a Plan Lynette McFadden Harcourts Gold Business Owner Harcourts NZ Inspirational Women Ambassodor It’s a commonly held belief that acquisition of property is a means of wealth creation if it is done correctly – what it isn’t, is a getrich-quick scheme. I’ve worked with individuals and syndicates who have purchased and accumulated property in a single-minded pursuit of building a substantial nest egg. Some have done spectacularly well and sit on considerable portfolios, and others have seen their hopes and their funds depleted. Both groups started with the same dreams and desire, expecting to benefit from rental incomes or increases in capital values, but there are some significant differences in their approach. Here’s where I’d like to share my observations of factors that helped rather than hindered the investment process. A Plan Having a specific plan as to where to purchase, how much to invest, what would happen if interest rates go up or if long periods of vacancy occur, is integral to overall success. Get a Plan A, have a back-up Plan B, and then keep assessing it. Look at others who have successfully managed the ups and downs of the market and ask for tips. Join the local property investors’ group and use a business-like approach to the process of developing a portfolio. Don’t listen to people who don’t have investments (note plural: one rental does not make an expert). Location Location will always dominate any real estate discussion or decision, and this is especially important when you are considering rentals. Amenities, schools, recreational facilities and good public transport add to the desirability of a property and its rental potential. The purchase of a small, cheap “orphan” out in the middle of nowhere is close to pointless if you expect to use it as part of your investment strategy – and I have seen people purchase these – so don’t! In Christchurch, there are numerous suburbs that fit the bill beautifully for rental, including those who favour a densely managed room-by-room scenario close to the educational facilities. Do your research, remembering that high quick returns for university semesters might not look so good if they are accompanied by lengthy vacancies, irate neighbours and regular repair bills for insufficient care of the property. Finally, Be Pragmatic The ‘Best Buy Ever’ will come along again tomorrow. Be kind to tenants who treat your property like their home; they are precious and a little thoughtfulness from an owner goes a long way. And when it all goes well, pat yourself quietly on the back. You are in the minority, no matter what anyone else says. “A man or woman’s home is their castle” and you have more than one!
