Managing Risk
All investments entail an element of risk – property is no different.
Successful investors, however, understand the potential risks and have clear strategies to avoid, manage, and minimize them.
That’s where Inside Track can help. Our courses will teach you the potential risks that are involved in property investment and provide you with concrete, practical and highly effective strategies to minimize and manage these risks. You will be learning from industry experts and successful investors.
Risks that you need to be aware of include:
Market Fluctuations
Since the Second World War, the value of property has doubled approximately every seven to eight years, and today clearly demand exceeds supply, ensuring property is an excellent investment. However, markets can fluctuate and have periods of flat or negative growth. Whilst this is normally an excellent time to purchase property at a deep discount, you need to know how to match cash outflows with cash inflows. Inside Track understands this, and will show you how to manage markets when they are tough through products such as exchange bonds and rental guarantees.
Price Risk
Property prices can go down as well as up. Investing in property can be profitable in good times, and even better in bad times – if you know how. We show you how to negotiate to minimize your initial outlay, and to buy – and sell – at the right time.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rates can both rise and fall. We teach you how to find the latest and most competitive financial products available to you – and how to build a portfolio that is balanced across country markets, helping to minimise the impact of movements in interest rates in any one market.
Rental Risk
There may be periods when the property purchased may be vacant. We show you how to invest in quality property in areas with strong rental prospects, and secure competitive rental insurance and rental guarantees.
Property Developer Risk
There is always a risk that a property developer may go out of business, or that the completion of a development may be delayed. We will teach you how to pre-vet a developer, helping you to minimize this risk.
International Risk
It is clear that to achieve the excellent possible returns investors need a diversified international property portfolio. Inside Track has a unique international market grading system to ensure those returns eventuate. Every country has inherent political and economic risks. The level of these risks varies significantly by country. Inside Track will educate you on the best regions in which to invest, based on understanding the local laws. Our grading system examines the unique economic factors and potential in each country. A common mistake is to assume the property laws and protections we enjoy in the UK apply in every country. They don't. And you need to understand these issues.
Exchange Rate Risk
Exchange rates can fluctuate significantly. We work closely with mortgage brokers and financial advisors who will be able to provide you with specialized advice, and offer international mortgages in the same currency as rental income is expected.
