Over the last 10-15 years, property investment has become a very popular investment method. Each day more people are investing in property as a vehicle to build wealth and secure their future. Buy-to-let is now even considered a legitimate pension investment.

The idea behind it is very straightforward. You make the initial investment in a property that somebody else lives in and pays you rent. In principle, you expect the rent to at least cover the mortgage payments. More importantly the property increases in value. A significant number of property investors have build sizeable buy-to-let property portfolios this way and it is well documented!

Some property investors have mentioned that over the last 100 years, the property prices have double every 10 years on average. And, this is the key expectation for their invesment. They don’t really expect to make much money out of the rent as long as it covers the mortgage.

There are 3 key areas for a successful property investment:

• finding the right property
• finding the right lender
• finding the right letting/property management agent
