Having madebold and glorious decision to sackboss and go it alone you are one offew who have what it takes to succeed. You haveentrepreneurial spirit andstrong will and these are rare and valuable attributes that will guide you throughout your professional and personal life.

Understanding market cycles
Now, you’re most likely aware that property markets are cyclical – this is because there isdirect correlation betweenunderlying price of real estate in relation to individual buying power. Simply explained: when property prices rise above what first time buyers can afford to paymarket slows down, stagnates and sometimes readjusts – but as soon as purchasing power increases again, either withdrop in interest rates orincrease in GDP, so property prices begin rising again.
And there are even ways to make money from real estate duringmarket downturn!
Investing in real estate for income
Depending onnature of your home based business your monthly income may be slightly erratic – some months being better than others! If you invest in property assets inbuy-to-let or even jet-to-let capacity you can secure yourselfconsistent monthly income which may afford youadded degree of financial security.
Buy-to-let is when you purchase property for rental purposes – this make beapartment you corporate let, it could behouse you student let or evenfamily home you rent out long term.
Jet-to-let is similar but it involves purchasing overseas property for short term weekly or fortnightly rental to tourists. This type of letting is usually very lucrative indeed during peak holiday periods but may mean you haveproperty that is empty forfew months out of season.
Both types of property investment return youregular income and atsame timephysical real estate asset will grow in value overlong term and if ever you wish to releaseprofits from your investment you can sell onproperty and takegains you have accrued.
Investing in real estate for profit
The alternative to building upproperty portfolio for income generation purposes is purchasing property and selling it on relatively quickly to realizegainsasset has accrued.
You can do this innumber of ways…firstly you can purchase run down property in need of renovation, tidy upproperty and turn it intohome before selling it on athigher price and reapingprofits gained.
Alternatively you could seek to beatcurve by buying into up and coming areas, waiting for prices to boom and then selling on for profit. This is quiterisky strategy forfirst time investor as timingmarket is hard!
An alternative to this is looking overseas forlatest emerging property markets worldwide and buying properties to renovate or properties off plan and then flipping them on for maximum gains inshort term.
Financing your investment
Asself-employed individual it can be tricky to getmortgage unless you have audited accounts, bank references etc., etc. If you don’t have all of these requisite documents there are other options available to you.
The main options are re-mortgaging your primary residence and releasingequity that you have accrued already for reinvestment in another property project or taking outself-certification mortgage where you makelarge down payment and basically telllender how much you can afford to borrow!
A winning attitude
You’ve already proved you have what it takes to succeed againstodds by establishingprofitable home based business, now applysame steely determination to your real estate investments and you will succeed in makingmaximum gains. Start small, begin gently, testmarket and your understanding of it and slowly build upprofitable real estate portfolio fromprofits of your home based business for maximum financial gain.
