Financial experts share where property investors can channel their sales profit

"There's fixed rates now, with a hundred percent offset. So tip it in there, and save yourself some money and improve your cash flow. That's what I'd say... That's the best deal for a property player," he said.

Troy explained: "I'm not saying go and put it into a term deposit at 2.1 per cent with your favourite bank so that they can take margin on it. I'm saying give it back to the bank. If you've got a good fixed rate with a hundred per cent offset, put it in there, and you can redraw it at any other time. You're saving yourself money and you're improving your cash flow. It's a no-brainer."

Aside from minimizing risk, property investors are also providing themselves the chance to capitalize on opportunities once they arise.

Is it the right time to sell?

Financial adviser Tony Caine agrees that putting money in offset accounts is one of the best ways to go once an investor sells his property, but it is also important that one looks back on his own plans before taking this big step in their investment journey.

He said: "Say, 'Well, what's the purpose?" I think it’s important to put a purpose behind a sale or a purchase, and say 'What's my plan in 10, 15, 20 years?' and 'Okay, what's a good time, what's happening in my life, to make it make sense for me to sell that property?' "

"If you don't need the cash, it's all working well, it might sometimes make sense to retain that if it's gonna be long-term... There's always gonna be opportunities. It's a big country with a lot of different markets. That's what I think some people forget. They might be living in a market that's quite hot, and they're panicking. But there's always gonna be opportunities in other markets. I think I wouldn't rush. I'd wait till the perfect time, when you felt you could get a good opportunity, " Tony concluded.
