Let’s face it, despite interest rates coming down you still need a sizeable deposit or equity to be able to invest in property. So it can be difficult to get the cash together. If you are looking to invest in property but don’t have strong financial backing, it is worth your time to consider some of these non-traditional property investment strategies.
Government Backed Residential Property Packages
Governmental departments such as the Defence Housing Australia and National Rental Affordability Scheme provide many benefits and can help manage several types of risks when purchasing or investing in a home. Not everyone will qualify for these benefits, and regardless of any incentives the property still needs to stack up as a solid investment.
Property Syndicates
Property syndicates allow individuals to invest in properties along with other investors that they normally wouldn’t be able to interact with financially. Syndicates are created for specific investments, and can cover a wide range of assets. If you have an idea for investing in something large, consider going in with others to make the investment happen.
Real Estate Investment Trusts
Similar to property syndicates, real estate investment trusts are another way individuals can get involved in property investments they normally wouldn’t have access to. At their core, real estate investment trusts are managed funds that are invested in property that is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Real estate investment trusts are a quick and easy way for an aspiring investor to begin interacting with property investment markets.
These are just some of the alternative ways you can get involved in property investment.
