Buy to let
Buying to Let is a strategy that can offer stable capital gains. Buy to let investors tend to target properties with high rental yields to secure a monthly cash flow. Generally, it is considered a low-risk strategy that has the potential of greater gains when the property is sold. Off-plan properties and New Build have been increasingly popular among investors in London over the past years. That is why the Buy to Let strategy requires an excellent knowledge of the local property market.
Bulk buying
Bulk Buying off-plan property is a strategy that can offer significant capital gains and is intended for investors who are looking to grow their wealth immensely. Acquiring properties in redevelopments and then reselling them, or “flipping” them, before the development is completed has been popular among investors who are diversifying their portfolio through different redevelopment projects.
Buy to sell
Buy to Sell, or “Flipping”, refers to the strategy where investors sell the off-plan property they have purchased just before the redevelopment is completed. Flipping can offer large capital growth quickly, since market demand for new homes skyrockets when the redevelopment is about to be delivered. This strategy requires excellent market knowledge, management and knowing when the time is right.
Joint Ventures
A Joint Venture strategy is designed for the “team players” who would like to grow their capital by forming business partnerships. A Joint Venture’s success ultimately comes down to what the different parties bring to the table and if they are united by common financial goals and like-mindedness.
Consult an expert
Whether you are an experienced property portfolio owner or you are just starting out, it is highly beneficial to consult an expert. After you have decided which investment road you are about to follow, you will need to start looking into different locations, analyse the risk of your investment, conduct a feasibility test and finally compose an exit strategy. At this time, an experienced team of individuals, like Copperstones could help you manage the requirements of the investment while working by your side to ensure your funds are wisely managed.
