There are several reasons that make investment properties in Perth an excellent, long-term investment, which can provide financial security for yourself and your family’s future.

However, not all property is a good investment and not all investors end up building a profitable portfolio.

We can no longer rely on the entire property market increasing in value. Property selection is more critical than ever, as the cost of buying the wrong property could be higher than you think.

Buying a high-performing investment property requires a comprehensive understanding of the property market and the underlying economic drivers that will lead to higher capital growth. Strong research is key to smart investing.

At Momentum Wealth, we follow a ‘top-down, bottom-up’ approach, starting with a capital city and drilling down through the local government areas to find the best suburbs. We then consider the local supply, infrastructure projects, new developments and available amenities.

Our in-house research division constantly monitors and compares many aspects that affect the property market, as well as undertaking a more detailed analysis of individual properties within identified localities. We adopt a thorough checklist and consider dozens of proven factors when assessing a property for investment.

Property is a long-term investment. If you can identify opportunities before others become aware then you will achieve better capital growth in the future.

Look for previously-ignored suburbs. There may be great properties in adjacent suburbs to those that have already experienced good growth.

You may also be able to create your own capital growth by adding value through renovating or developing. Always look to the future potential that a property may offer.
