The Inevitable Has Happened - So What Now? Put your head in the sand? Postpone your investment dreams? Take it in your stride? Most macro factors like election results, global pandemics, and wars are entirely out of our control. That doesn't mean they can't impact us, but what's done is done, and we focus on the old mantra 'control the controllable'. Labour will likely raise taxes, and probably make investing in property even more challenging than it's been, with more regulation and maybe even some punitive measures aimed at 'levelling' the playing field. However the reality is that no matter what promises they make for house building, we will continue to have a major housing shortage in the UK and so for many years to come there will be an opportunity to make money from creating places for people to live/work/stay. If we look at history, any attempts by government to 'fix' this with rent control, or attacks on landlords, will only increase the 'opportunity' for those of us who roll up our sleeves and tackle whatever new challenges are introduced, whilst others flee the market for the next 'get rich quick' opportunity. If you're looking for a get rich quick scheme then property was never the right option for you, but if you're looking to create sustainable, life changing, wealth, then bricks and mortar is as good an option today as it was yesterday. I am working with investors to buy portfolios at a discount and delivering them great returns either debt or equity. If you'd like to now more reach out, otherwise keep calm and carry on!
