Investment property

A property that has been purchased with the objective of earning a return on the investment, normally through rental income or through a profit with the resale of the property in the future. More benefits include security, tax benefits, growth and getting finance.

When purchasing an investment property, capital growth is usually the long-term strategy that many investors focus on. However, rental income can help you get a steady cash flow. You can use this income to pay off the mortgage and save to invest in another property.
