Why Invest into Property?
Many people are asking why invest in property? and the answers seem to be blatantly obvious.
Let's start by saying that Aussie investors are very biased towards property. This is for a few reasons, one being our obsession with owning bricks and mortar and the obsession of owning your own home. The great Aussie dream. Two, I think is driven by its successful long term stability, even through multiple recessions, down turns and global financial crisis.

These 3 Things are Critical to Consider When Buying Investment Property

There have been many doomsdayer's claiming the run and buble is about to end, and none more vocal thran through the Covid-19 Pandemic, however these have all turn out to not only be false, but the actual opposite. Even Dr Shane Oliver, the chief economist for AMP, he has cried wolf many times in the last 10-15 years.
For example, in contrast, AMP's Share Price today (5th December, 2022) is $1.33 down from $5.25 back in March of 2018 and down 89.95% from its all time high ($14.53 back in June 2001).
Had you invested $1,000,000 in AMP back in March 2018 today your Investment would be worth $253,333
Now by comparison in September of 2018 the median house price on the Gold Coast was $626,500 and being a property it was leveraged against debt, so in this scenario equivalently you could purchased 2 properties on the Gold Coast. Fats forward to 2022 and the median property is worth $1,032,755 (even after 3 consecutive quarters of negative growth).
That's a $406,255 gain per property, or $812,510 profit versus AMP Shares losing $746,667 not to mention the tax benefits also associated with the property scenario.

Aussies seem to be drawn to these sound fundamentals of property. Yes it is important to acknowledge that people can and will lose money with property if they buy the wrong type of property at the wrong time.
You cannot buy a 22sqm studio that's 50 years old, has no kitchen and costs $10,000 a year in strata and expect to turn a profit. However if you buy based on your customised retirement strategy, in a researched high capital growth area, then you give yourself the best chance of success.
There are no guarantees in life, and there are no guarantees in property investment, but if you take responsibility for your own financial success, you have a much better chance!
