Market Research

When buying an investment property, it is imperative that substantial research be done. Often people do not know what research needs to be done when buying a property. The easiest way to understand what research needs to be done is to put yourself in the tenants’ shoes.

When you were a tenant, what did you like best about the place you lived? Obviously, you would have liked the fact that the property was relatively new, clean and well presented and also fairly close to amenities, in particular restaurants, schools, trains and bus routes, and also fairly close to shopping centers so that you do not have to drive for half an hour to get to a shopping centre when all you wanted was a newspaper.  You would want to duck out, and possibly either walk or drive to the nearest of the shopping centre to pick up whatever you needed.

Your tenant, when they are looking at your property in comparison to an older property or a less desirable property will look at all these things, in other words, schools restaurants, shopping centers and convenience of transport. If we are to look at properties that are available at similar prices, the tenant that does not have enough money will choose the lower-priced one, as they do not really care where they live or cannot afford a better property. Whilst not being discriminatory, my experience has shown that people who have no money or unable to afford the better properties often have a lower self esteem as well, which would translate in less care of your property.

If there are enough amenities around there is less likelihood of the tenants moving as they tend to enjoy the lifestyle  and convenience around them.

When doing the research, you need to also look at the factors that could signal an increase in general property prices in the area for example, look for new infrastructure being planned by the Council or the State government. A good example would be a rail network that will be upgraded, or a new factory being put in place, which would allow for more jobs, therefore a higher population, which translates into more tenancy.

Such research takes quite a while to do and often most people when they start investing do not have the time or the facilities to do this research, and therefore it is prudent to allow the experts in the field to do the research for you and pay them a premium.

Depending on how this is structured, the fee may be tax deductible. This will save you both time and make you money in the future as the property that you would select would be very well researched and with the right research, definitely earmarked for growth.
