Investing in residential property is a life changing event for most Australians. It is a means of building wealth, retiring early, achieving lifetime dreams, and not being dependent on the government for income support later in life. Given the importance of this decision, it is important to be educated in the key principles and concepts that optimise the financial returns on this investment.

There is a wealth of television programs, websites, and gurus telling all of us how to get rich through real estate. This is often accompanied by messages of needing to take action now; to not miss out on today’s bargains. The focus is simply getting into the market. Whilst we agree on the need to get into the market as time is our friend, we need to make an informed decision, not an impulsive one. Let’s find the markets that offer the best opportunities, even if it takes a few weeks longer.

A founding principle of Capital Edge is for our role to be educators. The more we educate our clients on investment strategies, the more we learn together, and the more we will optimise the results achieved.

Often people come to us knowing they want to invest in property, but anxious and uncertain as what they need to do next. Our role is explaining the principles that we have learnt as the foundation for making the best investment decisions for each person’s current position and goals.

Our approach to providing educational materials for all types of investors is explained in the video below:
