Property investors committed to $11.71 billion of home loans in July 2024, which was the second-highest month on record, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

It was also 35.4% higher than in July 2023, showing the enormous growth in investor activity during that time.

Here are five reasons why so many Australians consider property investing a great way to build wealth:

  • Capital growth – property prices have increased significantly over the long-term
  • Rental income – the income you collect from your tenants can contribute to paying off your mortgage
  • Tax benefits – you can potentially reduce your taxable income if your expenses exceed your income
  • Diversification – property can balance out any shares you may own through your superannuation
  • Flexibility – once you’ve accumulated enough equity in your investment property, you can use that to fund the deposit on another property

As you can see, property investing has a lot of potential benefits. If you want to know more, we will be happy to run some numbers for you.
