Why do you say property is a good investment?

I never said property is a good investment.

What I am teaching (and saying) is that the “right” property is a good investment.

The only way to determine if a property is a good investment is to do the calculations using my Property Pro Program Not only will you determine the growth but also the risk on any type of property anywhere in the world (You do not have to use the Property Pro Program if you have a program that will take all the property investment variables into consideration including all risk – as far as I know the Property Pro Program is the only program that can do all of that).

The risk in property (and in any other investment) is the most important factor to consider. It is no good to get a 30% per year return on you investment in good times but loose everything in bad times.

What any property investor should look for is the “RIGHT property investment”

Also what may be right for you - may not be right for me simply because of how you and I can handle risk and what our expectations of returns may be.

In my latest project I invested in less than R1 in total out of my own pocket in a property that is valued for over R2 000 000.00 There are no outstanding debts (like bonds) on the property and I am renting it out for more than R12 000 per month.

If this is your definition of a “good” property then we are on the same wave length otherwise the term good will have different meanings to different people.

Learn how to invest in property and how to do the calculations – and then apply what you have learned (using the Property Pro Program) before you assume a property is a good or a bad investment.
