Surviving the downturn
Friday, 1st August
The August issue of the NZ Property Investor magazine takes an in-depth look at what Kiwi investors can to do ride this current storm out.I say co-incidentally, but in reality the aim of the magazine is to help investors manage their properties successfully.
What surprised me a little with this article is how many different things investors can do to ride out the storm.
Sure, one is to sell up and maybe take a loss, therefore limiting future losses. However, I reckon there is a good argument for trying to hold on.
Over the years of publishing the NZ Property Investor I have heard plenty of stories where people have toughed it out through difficult markets and been thankful they have done so.
If you want to find out some ideas on how to survive this downturn then make sure you pick up the latest copy of the NZ Property Investor magazine.
