Your investment guide

Your investment checklist

If you're thinking about investing its worth first considering your reasons for investing, your current financial status and where you should start.

Ask yourself, why am I investing?
Is it to:

• Maximise my tax benefits.
• Pay off my home faster.
• Help create more wealth.
• Help plan my for retirement.

What's my financial position?

• How much can I afford to borrow?
• How much will I need to pay out every week?
• What is my overall benefit for investing?

How do I find a property?

• Do lots of thorough research.
• Educate yourself about the whole process.

It's also important to consider macro and micro economic factors. For example, there're many ways to educate yourself including:

• Investment/property magazines and websites.
• Local councils have lots of valuable local knowledge.
• Government websites are another source of good information.
• Check out the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
• Get advice from property investment experts.

The more research you do, the more you'll educate yourself, the more confident you'll become in making better, more informed decisions about your investment.

If you get a pre-approval from ING DIRECT, you can get a RP data report about a property you are looking to invest in or a suburb profile.
