Buy To Let Properties/Investment Properties/Buy To Let Property Portfolios

The world of buy to let and property investment has grown tremendously over the last few years. Some see property as a future pension, some are looking simply to supplement their current income and others are buying shrewdly to make money on the future rises in property value. The strategy could be divided broadly into two parts - one of capital growth and the other of surplus positive cashflow from rental income on a monthly basis. The choice would depend on the personal circumstances and aspirations of different investors. Astute investors would use a combination of both.
Property investment is definitely one choice for people looking to save for
retirement, increase their passive income or become wealthy. Property investment has certainly caught people's imagination over the
last few years with many building substantial portfolios and others at
least acquiring a holiday home abroad, or a single buy-to-let flat to
contribute towards their retirement savings. But is property a temporary
investment fad or is there more to it than that?
To obtain an accurate picture of house price performance or for that any reason any other investment, it is necessary to look over a longer period such as the
last 35 years for which accurate house price index information is
available. Over this period house prices have increased 11% per year on
average which is a considerable return one could achieve from any investment, not to mention the added ROI on cash invested through rental cashflow.
