Creative Strategies Can Help Local Investors Build Their Portfolio Even in Today’s Booming Market
(PRWEB) January 20, 2014 -- CommSec economist Savanth Sebastian told reporters that the increased presence of expats and foreign investors buying real estate Australia will most likely push already high property prices even further, (News.brisbanetimes.com.au reported on 6 January 2014).
Sebastian added that the combination of low interest rates and a weaker local currency is attracting foreign investors to enter the Australia real estate market.
“The rapid increase of property prices in many capital cities since 2013 is making it more difficult for local investors expand their property portfolio. In addition, more aspiring home owners are also getting locked out, and news of another impending price hike would only push some people to completely give up their dream of homeownership,” commented Rick Otton, the author of the best-selling real estate book How To Buy A House For A Dollar.
“Regular Aussies feel that way because high property prices have made it very hard to save enough cash to pay for a deposit. And with more activity from Foreigners and expats, people will need to save even more as property prices increase” he explained further.
Mr. Otton said in a recent interview for his upcoming national tour "Ready, Set, Boom" that home buyers can still compete with foreign investors if they follow creative strategies when buying and selling houses.
“I’ve always taught my students that it’s not about the price, but how you pay the price that makes a house affordable. Using flexible payment terms, a buyer won’t necessarily need to come up with all the cash now to meet the seller’s asking price. What most people don’t realise is that many sellers are okay with flexible payment terms as long as they get the price they want. And the reason why buyers don’t know this is simply because never bothered to ask.”
“Aussies need a paradigm shift because you don’t need a large amount of cash to buy a house. And by having the right toolkits and asking the right questions, anyone can open up far more opportunities for themselves when investing in property” Mr. Otton added.
