Property course: ten ways to beat a crash
The Daily Telegraph has published a list of ten ways to beat a property crash. Enrolling on a property course could - of course - beat all of them
The Daily Telegraph has published a list of advice to help people get through current and forecasted difficulties in the property market. But enrolling on the right property course could prove more help to potential investors in the long run.
The Telegraph's list of property-course-beating tips is as follows:
1 WAIT FOR ROCK-BOTTOM PRICES
"Watch for the great 're-pricing' programme", says the newspaper. But some property courses have been teaching people how to buy properties for between 15 and 25 per cent below their market value for several years - so why wait?
2 BORROWERS BEWARE
In line with a lot of recent reports, the Telegraph says, "Building societies will be lending less; borrowing will cost more." But that isn't the full story -- there are property courses available which demonstrate other, flexible, low-risk methods of financing property investment deals.
3 PUT MONEY ON REGENERATION
"Find the areas that will outperform their neighbours. Look for change being brought about by regeneration money or projects with vision", says the newspaper. This solid, common-sense advice applies regardless of the property market's state and, when combined with the skills people can learn on property courses, can deliver returns that comprehensively outperform other investments.
4 NO TIME FOR AMATEURS
The Telegraph says, "It is time for the part-timers and gamblers to bow out", and again this is sensible advice for many given current market conditions. It also recognises that a professional approach, often backed up by the experienced advice offered by a property course, will still deliver results. Ian Marris, who handles land and development at Knight Frank, says, "The speculators, the amateurs and the uneducated should get out or get proper advice."
5 WATCH FOR THE £1M LONDON HOUSE SLIDE
A variation on number one - and again the wait can be avoided if you know the skills taught on some property courses.
6 BUY A FLAT WITH A DIFFERENCE
More solid advice for any property purchase - although there are ways, taught at many property courses, of making a profit on any property.
7 BE EXTRA CANNY IN THE NORTH
The north is different to the south of England, says the Telegraph. It quotes an expert who says, "There are areas where the price of a three-bedroom terrace is £15,000, and suddenly it could become £100,000. This will require a different type of investor with a different type of risk and gearing." Many property courses available will teach the skills to be that type of investor.
And so on - but the message should be clear by now (for the record, 8, 9 and 10 are CUT OUT THE ESTATE AGENT, THE OVER-£5 MILLION MARKET and BUY IN THE COMFORT ZONE respectively). The article raises some good points, and offers some sound advice - but the advice investors could hear at a property course could beat it convincingly.
