4 Steps to Expanding Your Property Portfolio

Property development is a life-changing investment process that can leave you making masses of profit in exchange for hard work on someone’s future home.
However, expanding your property portfolio can be a long process, so ensuring you do it well is essential. If you want to get started on growing your property empire, here are four top tips that will give you the success you crave.

1. Research the Market

In real estate, the market is always changing and fluctuating. Whilst the prices of property can go up and down, so can trends. Many period properties have stood the test of time, and are widely considered to be timeless investments.

Some property developers will install imitation period features into their properties such as fireplaces and sash windows to build value into the home. Retailers like Direct Fireplaces can provide authentic-looking fireplaces for your renovated home that will bring back some of that period charm.

2. Study an Economics Degree

By understanding how the rise and fall of the economy works, you will be able to better understand the way that the housing market will rise and fall accordingly depending on the economic status of the country.

By studying flexibly through providers like Signum Magnum College, you can complete your PhD in your own time around your commitments to expanding your property portfolio, so you can continue to achieve without breaking a sweat.

Alternatively, Signum Magnum College also offers various Business degrees. Whether you’re dipping your toes into the world of cost and profit, or are a seasoned professional, there’s a degree for everyone from bachelor’s courses all the way up to doctorate degrees.

3. Keep the Decor Neutral

The key to developing properties is to keep the finished decor neutral. This will present potential buyers with a “blank canvas” to decorate the home the way they choose. For this reason, opting for magnolia or other neutral colours will help the house to look more spacious and bright.

If you need high quality paint testers to check which colour you need for your properties, retailers like B&Q offer a range of emulsion paints and their testers so you can have peace of mind when deciding which paints will make your property shine.

The other advantage to selling a developed property is that installing brand new facilities in the bathroom like a shower, bath and toilet will mean that the home is more likely to sell. The convenience of brand new facilities is more likely to appeal to a family looking to buy a long-term family home than a fixer-upper.

4. Employ a Good Real Estate Team

If you’re an individual who is likely to sell multiple properties in close succession, having a go-to team of real estate professionals can make your life a lot simpler when it comes to selling your properties.

Not only can this mean that you will sell your properties faster, but these professionals will know you well and work with you often enough to streamline the selling process, meaning you spend less time on the administration and more time developing your property portfolio.
