If people open your mind to alternative ways of transacting, anyone may be able to invest at anytime. What’s important is how you buy property.
(PRWEB) June 08, 2014
The newest Housing Affordability Index found that houses have become 10.8 percent more affordable compared to last year’s prices. Analysts identified low interest rates and slowdown of house price increases as the main reasons behind the positive figures, brisbanetimes.com.au published on 28 May 2014.
Rick Otton, a respected mentor of property investors in Australia, encourages investors to use creative seller finance strategies to make the most out of improving housing affordability figures.
“Housing affordability has been a big issue for many years both for property investors and first home buyers. In fact, the researchers who conducted the study confirmed that Australian real estate hasn’t been this affordable since March 2002. Having said that, there are still many that find house prices expensive. The reality is that people need to pay an average of 10 to 20 percent of the property cost as deposit before they can enter a property. Unfortunately, in a post-GFC economy, no one has that kind of cash at their disposal,” discusses Mr. Otton.
Mr. Otton also reminded Aussies in a recent interview for his Creative Real Estate Podcast that in a buyer’s market, creative strategies could help anyone strengthen their chances of investing in property.
“If people open your mind to alternative ways of transacting, anyone may be able to invest at anytime. What’s important is how you buy property. Buyers who buy creatively don’t have to worry about high deposit fees because they can create flexible terms with the seller to help them buy property without a new mortgage or paying for a huge deposit,” he said.
