Rich Dad, Poor Dad 📔 (As modelled by the boss toddler) The one book that changed our mindset back in 2016 and gave us the push to start investing in property 🏘 The importance of financial literacy, investing in assets that generate passive income, and understanding how money works. The core message is to work smarter, not harder, to achieve financial independence. It’s a game changer! If you haven’t read it, please do. You will have a different outset on life ✨ If you have, what’s the 1️⃣ takeaway lesson you resonate with❓ Ours is the power of assets over liabilities 👍🏽 We don’t buy depreciating assets anymore. Let that sink in and say it one more time - “depreciating assets.”

🏠 5 Reasons Properties Go Up in Value 📈 It's easy to get caught up in the mantra that "property always goes up in value," but as savvy investors, it's crucial to understand the dynamics behind this. In property, several key factors drive property prices, and understanding these can help us make more informed investment decisions. 1️⃣  Falling Borrowing Costs - Lower mortgage rates mean both investors and owner-occupiers find property more affordable. Investors can borrow more without affecting their returns, pushing prices up. - However, the opposite is also true. Recent interest rate hikes haven't led to a significant price drop, hinting at other influencing factors. 2️⃣  Demand vs. Supply - The UK saw a population increase of 600,000 between 2022-2023, yet housing construction hasn't kept pace, creating upward pressure on prices. - With a consistent shortfall in housing supply, prices are naturally driven upwards. 3️⃣    The Power of Positivity - Rising wages, job security, and the belief in increasing property values motivate people to invest in property, even at higher prices. - This sentiment can sometimes lead to a market bubble, driven by fear of missing out or greed for future gains. 4️⃣  Productivity and Land Value - Land captures the gains of technological progress and public investment due to its fixed supply. - As productivity increases, so does the ability to generate income from land, leading to higher property values. 5️⃣    Inflation - Inflation affects all sectors, including real estate. Historically, property prices have outpaced inflation by 1.1% annually. - Leveraging inflation through mortgage financing can result in substantial wealth creation over time. 🔮 Future Predictions - Predicting future property prices is challenging due to the interplay of various factors. - Despite potential fluctuations, the long-term trajectory of property prices trends upwards due to inflation and land scarcity. 🏡 As long-term investors, understanding these drivers gives us a unique insight into the property market's movements. While there are no guarantees, a well-informed approach can help navigate the complex and often volatile world of property investment. #RealEstateInvestment #PropertyMarket #HousingEconomics #InformedInvesting
