Let’s be clear, any type of investment brings certain risk with it. Yet, some investment vehicles seem to be more logical and profitable than others and Property Investing is one of them.

After doing some research, you might have realised this too, but now it’s time to convince your spouse that this is the right move. People need some time to take action and invest their hard earned savings or retirement pot in property, and this is quite natural. In order to speed up this process and convince your partner that this is the right time to invest in the property market, follow these tips.

1.Bank-based investments and stock investments are risky too

Even the strongest markets crash from time to time and you never know how the political situation can affect the market. The latest Brexit referendum brought some rapid changes to the stock market and many people lost a lot of money. Of course, the property market isn’t an exception, but the changes are substantially slower and there is usually enough time to take action before it’s too late. Additionally, these changes are not affected by minor changes and predictions.

2. Emphasize the Return on Investment

Before you talk to your spouse, it’s best to learn everything you can about the potential numbers that can explain the current status of your savings and benefits of the proposed investment. Compare the prices of rental properties and prices of family homes. Discuss the predictions and calculate the profit you can make.

3. Point out that investment accounts are costly

The vast majority of Brits are not aware of the amount of fees related to their investment account. If you conduct a thorough research, there is a great chance that you will be disappointed by the returns from stock market and look for another way to investment your money. Make sure you highlight this fact to your spouse.

4. Don’t forget to analyse the budget

If you are buying a buy-to-let property, just think about the extra money you’ll have every month. After the initial investment, this property is completely yours and you can benefit from a rental income. You will get money every month and you can use it for anything you want. Now imagine what would happen if this money is invested in stocks? It would just sit there doing nothing and you’ll hope that the price of stocks will eventually go up so you can sell them. With property investments, you have an (almost) guaranteed source of steady income.

5. Recommend literature

There are many books and e-books dedicated to property investing. Buy some books and ask your spouse to read them. By reading more about this topic, they will be able to understand how this type of investing works and discover all the benefits. You can also recommend blogs and podcasts.
