Property Investment Authority Rick Otton Urges Caution In Light of IMF Warning
(PRWEB) December 05, 2013 -- Rick Otton, the Australian real estate authority who is known for his innovative investment strategies has today issued a caution to investors: Beware of inflated asset prices.
His warning comes at the same time as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has cautioned investors that, in a environment of rising property prices, their expectations could overshoot the market.
"What this means is that as prices rise, more investors jump on board, pushing property prices even higher. This, in itself, is fine, but for those who borrow to jump into this market, when prices drop, they may be in for a rude awakening," said Mr Otton. "This is especially so for those who borrow with the minimum deposit – they could find themselves owing more that their property is worth. It’s happened before, and it will happen again."
Following its most recent review of the Australian economy, the IMF released a statement that said "The authorities would need to be prepared to take preventative actions of household credit growth, transactions volume, and prices accelerate."
Alternatives To Bank Loans
For decades Mr Otton has been encouraging people all over the world to look at alternative ways for buying and selling real estate – without bank involvement. His strategies, he says, remove the impact of interest rates and fluctuating prices.
"The traditional system of saving for a hefty deposit and then hoping a bank will approve your loan application – well, its just old-school," said Mr Otton. "This system has disenfranchised many sectors of the community, especially the self-employed who have difficulty in proving ongoing income."
"This caution by the IMF is well timed, and I hope it will give everyday Aussies reason to pause. To help them to learn of the alternative property investment options that are available to them, I am offering a downloadable Power Property Profits Pack via my website – and it doesn’t cost a cent."
