EPISODE 9 | Key Factors to Consider Before You Invest
Feb 20, 2024 Season 1 Episode 9
Thereza Rautenbach

This video is about factors to consider when investing in buy-to-let properties. The speaker, who seems to be an expert in real estate investment, discusses several factors that are outside of the investor's control, including economic conditions, demographic shifts, governmental regulations, natural disasters, market sentiment, and competition.


Here are the key points from the video:


Economic conditions: Inflation, interest rates, and employment levels can all impact the real estate market. For example, if tenants are not getting raises, landlords may not be able to raise rents to cover the rising costs of owning a property.
Demographic shifts: The age at which people buy their first home has been increasing, and this has impacted the demand for rental properties. Additionally, people are more likely to rent now than in the past, which has also increased demand.
Governmental regulations: Changes in zoning laws, building codes, and tax policies can all affect the value of a property. For example, if new regulations make it more expensive to rent out a property, landlords may be less likely to invest in buy-to-let properties.
Natural disasters: Hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires can all damage properties and reduce their value.
Market sentiment: If people are negative about the financial outlook, they may be less likely to invest in large purchases like a property.
Competition and supply and demand dynamics: If there is a shortage of rental properties, landlords can charge higher rents. However, if there is a glut of rental properties, landlords may have to lower their rents to find tenants.
Location and infrastructure factors: The quality of local infrastructure, transportation, and access to amenities can all impact the value of a property.
