Property Course: Invest Abroad, Rent at Home
Buying abroad where prices are lower can be a wise investment, a property course can teach you the fundamentals of how to profit from property.
Property investors know that there's always money to be made from property. Whether it's home or abroad, the principles remain the same; a property course can teach you how to invest wisely. The Telegraph newspaper has reported on a new trend of investors - the Barbies. The Barby is a property investor who 'buys abroad, rents in Britain.' A property course can teach you the fundamentals of how to become a successful property investor, locally and globally.
Take a property course: Learn how to be a Barby
The Barby is the latest trend in the property market - a reaction to the difficult housing market the UK faces. Many Barbies are said to be first time buyers desperate for an investment and to join the property-owning classes, but unable to afford the high cost of UK mortgages. For these buyers, a property course can help advise them on buying in countries where property prices are lower and affordable.
Property course helps UK poor find riches abroad
The move to buy or invest abroad may have been led by the young first-time buyer priced out of the UK property market, but the report says that the wealthier and older investors are quickly jumping on the Barby bandwagon. For those who want to join them, a property course can teach you the basics you need to know so your investment is a good one, not a risky mistake. Investing in emerging markets makes financial sense, and a property course can teach you how to find the equity you need to do so. For the Barbies with money, many are opting to downsize, sell their UK properties to release assets and rent at home, making them cash-rich and well-placed to snap up investments abroad.
Investing in holiday homes
The Telegraph profiled one such Barby who doesn't need to take a property course; Scott Huggins is well versed in the housing market home and abroad, as presenter of TV relocation show Get a New Life. If anything, Huggins would be in a great position to advise on a property course in his capacity as director of Intrepid Investments, a company that advises on investing abroad. Huggins rents in London after selling a London property for £700,000 and using the money to buy in Turkey, South Africa and Bulgaria. Anyone thinking of taking a property course to learn from the experts should heed his advice, he told the Telegraph about selling his London home: "Even though prices went up by a further 25 per cent over the next six months, I did the right thing. I'm an ex-City trader and the art is to never sell at the top because you can never predict when the top will come - and then after that, it's hard to sell."
The fact is, he said, it's cheaper to rent than buy in London at the moment; the only way to make money in London is if the prices keep rising at a massive rate; the credit crunch has put an end to that.
"We decided to rent in London and pour any money we save into investing overseas."
A property course can help you build a portfolio that pays - Huggins now has a portfolio that pays for itself in rental income, as well as making hundreds of thousands of pounds in equity.
