Many investors don’t understand the essential seven steps they need to follow in order to buck the trend and build a massive property portfolio.
In this article series I will explain these seven easy steps, which any property investor can follow.
In my previous article I discussed step six to building a massive property portfolio – why it’s necessary to stay informed and maintain ongoing education on the property market.
In the final part of this article series I will explain step seven to building a massive property portfolio – the necessity to regularly review your holdings.
Step seven – Portfolio Review
The seventh and final step is to regularly review your property portfolio.
A regular review of your property portfolio will help you remain on track to meeting your property investment goals, and identify if you’re deviating from this path.
It provides investors with an opportunity to review their circumstances and ensure the strategies they’re pursuing are proving effective.
It’s not uncommon for an investor’s circumstances or the property market to change and these factors should be taken into consideration during your review.
This will help ensure your investments are performing well and meeting your expectations, while giving you peace of mind that you’re on track for reaching financial freedom.
Recap: seven steps to building a massive property portfolio
1. Property investment plan: Create a property investment plan that outlines your goals, financial capacity, risk profile and life circumstances.
2. Finance strategy: Adequately structure your finances and engage brokers who specialise in investor loans.
3. Property acquisition: Purchase properties with high price-growth drivers (i.e. high demand/low supply, located in strong economic areas with revitalisation initiatives/ major infrastructure projects).
4. Planning and development: Accelerate your wealth by completing renovations or developing your property.
5. Property management: Engage professional property managers that will optimise your assets.
6. Ongoing education: Stay informed and maintain ongoing education of the property industry.
