Investing in property: does it still make financial sense?
Property has been a popular investment for many years, yielding quick and high returns. Whilst the
landscape had altered over recent years investing in property can still make financial sense. Some
models of investing will provide quicker financial benefits than others. You may be surprised to
learn that you can make a very healthy financial return from property investing without having to
get your hands dirty.
Managing your own portfolio as a property investor can be a headache, making decisions about
purchasing a property researching the area, managing your refurb teams and deciding what to do
with your completed project can be quite an intricate and time consuming process. What may
people don’t realise is that there is a way you can invest in property without having to take
ownership of a building – so how can you do that?
Via indirect property investing.
What is indirect property investing?
Indirect property investing is investing in a property without buying a property – the whole process
is managed by a professional developer and as the investor you get a return on your investment at
set stages in the project.
With the My Ambition Properties model each project is funded by a handful of investors and the
purchasing process and refurbishment is managed by us. You then get a monthly interest payment
on your investment for 12 months after which you can take out your capital investment or reinvest
into the next project.
'Christian is a pleasure to deal with. He is always happy to answer any questions I have regarding his business and my investment. Great return on my investment and more importantly prompt and timely payments are received.'
Property investment UK – the traditional method
Traditionally property investment models relied on buying at a low price, renovating and either
selling on at a profit or renting it out.
It is often seen as the easiest investment structure to engage with; the process of identifying a
property and purchasing it alone, funded either by existing or borrowed capital, then either selling it
to make a one-time return on investment, or renting it out for a monthly income.
Whilst these are still viable options, we’re unlikely to see anything like the property price boom of
the late 1990s and early 2000s. Indeed, prices have increased steadily since then, but generally
landlords are less likely to benefit from soaring investment growth.
Higher tax bills, fewer benefits to landlords and rising maintenance costs mean that buy-to-let for
many is less attractive that it once was. There’s also the impact of the pandemic, where some
landlords lost rental income from tenants who lost their jobs.
Indirect property investments gives you a quicker return
This more modern approach to property investing is ideal for anyone looking to invest in property
without having the risk of fluctuating price increases, rogue tenants or an uncertain housing market.
