Lots of property buyers look for investment opportunities in the first place. It is one of the most popular ways to keep and multiply your income. But just like every other type of investment, this one needs a correct approach that can help you to avoid mistakes. Learn them before becoming an investor.
Risky Business
Investment depends a lot on the situation on the market, stock prices and even natural events. And every potential investor needs a lot of knowledge. That's why lots of people consider buying property as a pretty simple way to invest their capital, whether the property is in their country or abroad.
The risks seem quite obvious: you can learn the current state of the real estate market early on, choose a particular residential compound or a district, bank on a beach property for vacational renting or less touristic places with long-term renting potential. You may think, considering such details is self-evident. Nevertheless, newly-made landlords are making the same mistakes over and over again in every country.
Gladly, we are here for you. And today we are going to tell about typical rental mistakes that investors can avoid.
Ignoring Tax Advantages
Landlords tend to ignore tax advantages, while it can increase their income or help with the dept, if credit had been used for a purchase.
Different countries offer different conditions for foreign buyers. Places like Cyprus offer tax reduction, if you buy a specific type of property. Some countries allow you to benefit from ownership with tax deductibility.
Therefore, when buying property always learn as much as possible both about tax payments and tax benefits.
People often forget that real estate market is different for landlords and sellers. Property prices can stay similar for a long time, while rent can grow each year and become seasonal, depending on the area.
Checking and changing the renting price is important, whether you offer a long-term or seasonal rent. It is much more beneficial to you as a landlord to make the price just a little hire each 6-12 months instead of increasing it once every several year on a big sum. Seasonal rent must be floating as well.
Keeping the same price for a seasons rent all year long is not a successful tactic that can only help you to lose potential clients and decrease the income. You will not lose much of a potential benefit with a slight reduction of the price. But you will lose a lot, if nobody occupies your property for the demanded price.

If you want to buy property in a particular region or a country, because everyone does so, then your reasoning must be reconsidered.
It is absolutely ok to buy a flat on a Spanish shore due to nostalgic childhood memories of your family vacation. But that is not a good basis for an investment. If you goal is to make money, then before making a final payment get rid of emotional involvement and think about economic factors that can influence rentability of your real estate. Whether it is economic crisis, high unemployment rates or even a risk of earthquakes, each of these factors can make property more or less attractive.
Growing prices in Bulgaria drew lots of foreign buyers since the middle of 2000s. Low prices, big stream of tourists and a great renting potential helped quite a lot. But the prices started to fall down after 2014 and many owners struggled to sell their realty for a reasonable price. The selling as a process became difficult in general. And even though the market stabilized since, the prices still have not came back to the previous numbers. Those who kept their eyes on the ball, did not lose and even gained more from this situation. Because it is important to keep your knowledge relevant.
Some owners control the process of renting fully on their own. And it can be done, if you have a small flat nearby or that is the main source of your income. In the second case, you can make it your work, if you’d like to.
But for many investors rental property is considered more as a passive income. And in a willing to make it bigger, they can try to save money on management by doing everything by themselves. This is the exact moment, when they become less concentrated on details. The risk of losing money grows.
Don’t think that saving money on extra services can make it more in the end, if you are not ready to dedicate a lot of time in the process. It is especially important for properties overseas, when you cannot visit it each time needed. Managing companies can help you a lot with taking care of your flat or house, finding tenants and controlling payments. Such a step can make your investment safer and analyze, when it is time to get rid of the property or maybe purchase another one.
Being human means making mistakes all the time, even if they were happening before. But it is pretty easy to dig in just a little deeper into the basics to significantly decrease the chance of risks. There is still a probability to make something wrong in the process. But losing a dollar is less sad, then losing a thousand. Stay mindful and good luck in your future investments.
