If you are new to real estate, the following 3 part series on suggestions may help you make profit with property.

Step 2: Building your investment property portfolio.

• Prepare a budget: You have to do your calculations thoroughly so you will know how much you can afford.
• Borrow against your property equity: As you build up your properties use the equity in them as a deposit for your next property.
• Let your property: Get your property tenanted so an income is produced.
• Service your loan: Make sure you have enough to pay your loan as you go. If your rental property is running at a loss, it may be possible to get the tax advantages that will allow the loss to be written off against your other income.
• Protect your property: Make sure you are fully covered by insurance etc.
• Take your time: Most people are very impatient to get quick success. You will have to wait it out and allow your investments to grow.
• Borrow more money if necessary: As you increase your property numbers borrow as necessary to grow the number of properties you own.
• Buy more properties: Using the borrowed money from your refinancing, buy more properties using the same principles as with your first property. The speed with which you can accumulate your properties will depend not only on property growth, but also on the rate of increase and the cash flow you get from your income through rent and your salary.
