Setting Property Investment Goals

Plan ahead
A detailed investment plan can see your property portfolio move from strength to strength. It will help you to establish what is manageable for you, what timeframes are involved in reaching your goals and the steps you need to take to get there.

Think about what you want to achieve and be specific. Put your plan in writing and keep track of your progress over time. That way, you will be able to see what brings the best returns, which investments remain solid through periods of instability and can track your overall growth to make sure you stay on target.

Establish personal goals 

• Successful property investors have clear goals that are tailored to their individual needs. It is these goals that set the foundations for a good investment strategy.
• Be clear about what you want to achieve, then develop targets to get you where you want to go.
• Break up your goals and track your progress along the way.
• Set monthly targets, work towards them step by step, and compare your performance from month to month.
• Assess your progress annually and have a two year as well as a five year plan. Breaking your strategy into smaller chunks and tracking your performance allows you to modify your approach and get back on track when things don’t quite go to plan.
• Be realistic about your limits too and make sure your goals accurately reflect the resources you have at hand.
• Importantly, set goals that relate to your ability and be aware of the amount time needed for maintenance.

Think outside the box

When people think about property investment, their minds turn to the residential market. But a robust portfolio requires diversity and creative thinking, which means thinking beyond the commonplace.

Broaden your horizons. Start by thinking outside your geographical area. Although it is tempting to invest in locations that are familiar, there could well be better opportunities further afield. Then, once you have established your needs, do some research to determine where you might find a good property match. Could there be a suitable location interstate? Is there an opportunity in a regional growth corridor? Should I be looking outside of the residential property market?
