How to identify and buy an investment property !

Buy property and a home for sale and an income all in one. If you buy a home for sale with an office, you immediately have something that you can use as office space, and also can deduct for tax purposes. Please get expert advice before you enter into such a transaction.

Buy property and a home for sale and a business, for example a guesthouse. In this way you can stay and earn at the same time.

Change the nature of a property sale. Convert it from a block of flats to a block of sectional titles. Or acquire commercial rights - suddenly the value of your property rockets.

Buy property well below value. For whatever reason the person is selling property, they need the money urgently and are prepared to take it at a discount. If you are a willing buyer, the property deal is yours.

Sub-divide the land for sale. One property sale becomes two. You can either sell or develop the new half of the property for sale.

Sub-divide the house for sale. One house sale becomes two (or even more). You will normally get more rental property by subdividing the house for sale and letting property units than from one larger house sale.

Sell property before you buy or transfer the property in your name. Buying on a property sale auction (or through careful wording of the offer to purchase) will allow you to find a buyer for the property for sale very soon after your offer has been accepted, but before you need to make the first payment on your mortgage loan or bond. Care should be taken not to try to avoid transfer duties.

Generate extra rental income on your property investment by converting a store room or a garage into a granny flat – this way you turn your property into a revenue generating house sale asset.
