PWF - Property Wealth Through Education and Support

The Importance of Research

For anyone interested in property investing, you need to know where to buy, what to buy and how much to pay for it. Finding investment properties that bring the best returns from capital growth and rental income is an ongoing process which requires constant research and sourcing.

PWF recognizes that every person’s situation is different. The amount you can borrow and how much it will cost on a weekly basis will determine what property you can purchase. PWF will work with you to identify your needs and capacity and will source a property that matches them..
Property investing is a business. You are in it to make money. The key is to purchase with your head and not with your heart. There is no room for emotional buying in a business. The criteria to be met should have to do with rental returns and tenant demand, not emotional needs or personal taste. Forget about how 'lovely' the property looks, your main concern is the bottom line: how much it will cost you and how much it can make. PWF through ongoing research, is committed to helping you to select properties that bring the best returns.

People feel more comfortable buying in an area they know well – familiarity translates into increased confidence. However, if you want to benefit from as much capital growth as possible, the first rule is to buy in a growth area. If you choose the wrong location, you may not benefit from capital growth in the same way as you would if you purchased a well-researched property.

The key to successful property investment is making sure that you select the right property in the right location that matches your investment goals, timeframes and your budget.

Understanding population growth and migration patterns for example are key. Other market forces to consider are supply versus demand for housing, the changing demographic profile, economic activity, affordability, property type, taxation positioning and more. PWF conducts extensive property and suburb research. We examine local infrastructure, forecast population growth, rental demands and household demographics. We also examine the supply of land that is available in the area as this will have a significant impact on future capital growth. Price comparisons of similar properties are conducted to ensure you are paying the right price for the area. We undertake extensive research data and provide this at no cost to our investors.

PWF uses independent research sources and conducts extensive due diligence. Not undertaking due diligence prior to purchasing an investment property is a mistake. Due diligence is the research done prior to making the purchase and helps the investor work out whether the property is a good buy or not. Do you know the right questions to ask? PWF undertakes that research prior to recommending an investment property and knows what boxes need ticking to qualify the investment.

PWF also has a stringent selection criteria for builders and developers. We identify those builders who have a history of quality workmanship and of meeting construction time-lines. We further ensure all appropriate licences and insurances are in place and that they have a clear record with the BSA (Building Services Australia).
