Rick Otton explaining his real estate investment strategies
The Chinese Government has put measure in place to cool an over-heated local property market - limiting the number of properties an individual can own, and, in some cases, putting an age restriction on property purchasers.
(PRWEB) December 12, 2013
As record-low interest rates have stimulated a boom in Australian property prices, latest figures reveal that members of one sector, first-home buyers, are in danger of missing out on their chance for home ownership as property investors take the lead. To help ensure that no group misses out on the property boom, real estate authority, Rick Otton is offering a no-charge download Power Property Profits Pack.
“Figures released for September 2013 have revealed that just one in eight borrowers were first-home buyers” said Mr Otton. “Alarmingly, this is the lowest figure for this sector in over twenty years.”
Low Interest Rates Are Not Enough
“Despite the fact that interest rates are at an all time low, aspiring home owners still face hurdles to buying” he continued. “Many do not have the hefty deposit required to apply for a bank loan, and, as prices rise, so too does the deposit amount needed. For many, it has become an unachievable goal, especially in a boom market.”
Mr Otton has urged Australian real estate investors, whether they are buying their own home, or growing their current portfolio, to learn how to think creatively by implementing strategies that don’t tie them to home loans with unpredictable repayments.
Foreign Investment
A second driver of the property boom, Mr Otton said, was foreign investment, particularly from mainland China. The impact of these investors was most obvious in the Melbourne and Sydney markets.
“The Chinese Government has put measure in place to cool an over-heated local property market - limiting the number of properties an individual can own, and, in some cases, putting an age restriction on property purchasers” explained Mr Otton.
“In China couples are divorcing to allow them to buy a property in each of their names, but that only gives them two. In some provinces there is a minimum age of 20 years for property ownership, which has shut the door on them putting properties in their child’s name” he continued.
“So they are looking offshore - and Australia is a very attractive option for them.”
