( 1 ) Capital appreciation

History shows that property investment has always been a good source of capital growth, and assuming you keep your property for a number of years, you will undoubtedly benefit from property price rises when you come to sell.

Of course, people are busy talking about the current property crash, and the credit crunch.  Yes, both have affected property prices adversely, however, by holding onto your property, you will be able to ride out the current downturn and be in a poison to benefit from the price bounce which invariably happens after such a dramatic dip in property prices.

If you are looking to buy, in times of economic grief like at present (2009) there are great opportunities to buy at low prices. This puts you into a strong position to benefit from any upturn in prices, and possibly provide you with quite rapid capital appreciation.

( 2 ) Rental Income

Due to the pathetically low interest rates offered by Banks and Building Societies, you will begin to appreciate the huge return on capital a rented property can provide the owner with.

Rental income only starts when you have the property filled!

Sounds quite obvious, but it is an important point.

In order to fill your rental property, advertising is the main ingredient which will allow you to secure tenants for your investment property.
