Investment property comes first?

Our Experts Answer:

Yes, you can buy as many Investment properties as you like. My son and daughter both purchased more than a dozen "buy and hold" investment properties before their 30th birthdays (whilst living at home). I currently have many students in my property coaching class renting apartments, sharing accommodation and boarding in houses. One even was rooming at the YMCA Hostel for two years purchasing five investment properties. My suggestion is to do likewise so as to produce immediate cash-flow which will help you buy more properties in the current market.
However, be mindful with the timing of the property market. Ask yourself would it be cheaper to rent accommodation than buying a home or would it be cheaper to buy a home and pay the interest on a mortgage of an equivalent size property? This question will depend on where you are currently living and its proximity to your needs such as life style and work.
