Travelling overseas or indulging in a hectic social life are common barriers for young investors, but thinking outside the square and focussing on your goals can go a long way. Create a budget and cut down on luxuries for a while.
Educate yourself.
Subscribe to blogs and online publications. Do regular online searches for properties currently on the market. Attend auctions. Seek out information on how much properties are selling for. The more information you have, the better position you will be in to buy a wise investment property.
Seek advice. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Get in touch with a property manager to give rental appraisals on properties you are seriously interested in. Talk to a mortgage adviser. Speak to your local real estate agent about market trends. You will find the property management and sales team at Harcourts Twiss-Keir more than happy to help. Our mortgage advisory arm Mortgage Express will also give professional advice about your best borrowing options.
Manage your expectations.
Your first home or investment property may not be the house of your dreams. It is important to manage your expectations as a young investor, as it can be more difficult to distinguish between a property you could live in and a rental/investment property. Be open to properties that need a bit of extra TLC, or neighbourhoods that are more “up and coming” than others.
Plan for the unexpected.
Make sure your budget incorporates comprehensive insurance to cover the costly incidents that life will often throw your way. Mortgage Express can give sound insurance advise to investors starting out.

Lots of New Homes have these units Installed in nowadays. The only thing is the older homes don't have them in.

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

As we age, the risk of having a fall increases. Those over the age of 65 have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall and those over 80 it’s 1 in 2.
Having a fall can be devastating and can often result in a broken bone, which is painful and can take a long time to heal stopping us from doing the things we love.
The good news is that many falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer aims to help reduce the risk of having a fall so we can live an independent and active life.
Having good strength and balance is key to staying on your feet. You can find approved community strength and balance classes in your area and practical information, advice, and resources on reducing the risk of falls.
Live Stronger for Longer and join the movement today.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQSC, MOH and your local community health providers.
