First thing first, Real estate is a high growth asset, which will give the major uplift to any investment portfolio. It is imperative to invest in real estate to give an overall investment portfolio a major push.
Let’s assume you have been meaning to buy a luxury car for a very long time but it is simply out of your budget and comes to the sale and the car of your dreams is at a 50% discount. Don’t think twice and grab it. The same rule applies to the real estate industry. It is a cyclical industry that sees its highs and lows. As soon as the low tide arrives to buy your favorite asset at a discount. Your rental yield is based on the price you bought the asset at. Always lock it at a great price to maintain a higher rental yield.
The amount saved from purchase should be invested in the refurbishment of your property as that investment will serve you for a long time. Every property needs an uplift, better finishing changes the face of the asset completely. Wood varnish, neat grouting, proper sanitary fittings do wonders to appreciate the overall value of the asset.
Just like refurbishment, well-planned furnishing goes a long way. Keep things simple and minimalistic which work for all kinds of tenants. The saying “Less is More” in this scenario goes a long way. Invest in basics and timeless pieces, which will be relevant for a long time to come. If the foundation work is sound the asset will fall in place perfectly. Also, property owners worry about upfront furnishing costs but what needs to be kept in mind is that this cost of furnishing is amortized over more than five years and the net cost effect of furnishing with higher rental income is close to negligible. In order to extract the best potential from the asset, investing in furnishing in critical for the success of the overall performance of the asset.
