We all have had some experience with real estate , we all have to live under shelter , whether being a home owner or a tenant. While we were renting we know what made us happy and what didn't , and as home owners , we might have indulge in some home - improvements.

Property investments can be more than just a place you live. It can be an inflation - proof income - producing asset that can help us with our own wealth creating. Statistics show that rental income will rise every 9 years regardless of economy.

Property is a great investments for many reasons , you have direct control over the returns , if the property is not giving you good returns you could add value through renovations. Property is a very stable market. Property value rises , on average , every 7 years.

There are also many real estate strategies you can use for good returns on your investment. Here are three basic strategies for you to look at.

BUY AND HOLD

Buy and hold is a basic strategy which is , as the name suggests , buying a piece of property and holding for the long term . If you use this strategy the key here is to buy wisely , if you choose well then you are likely to have a more profitable investment.

BUY , RENOVATE , AND HOLD

Again the name says it all. When a property is successfully renovated the value of your property should rise noticeably as should the rent. When renovating you need to be careful you do not get caught up in expensive and time consuming renovations. So before attempting to put this strategy to work , it is very important you have done your home work. Remember the higher the return the higher the risk but of course if you have gain knowledge on the market and have good trading techniques , they will go a long way in lowering the risks of your investment.

Very few people are able to invest without getting caught up in the process. It is very important to keep your emotions at bay. Money will start walking out the door as soon as you let your emotions dictate your investment decisions. To keep your emotions at bay , remind yourself that you are not going to be living in the property and concentrate on what you think your tenant would like. Getting caught up in doing the property up is also a bad way to look at investments. If you over - capitalise , you wont get your money back. Keep the renovations simple.

You make money because the value of property should rise over time , as should the rental returns.
