Property Blog Register/Article Library — News — Information

 

The Klauster Blog Register is for convenient access to information for you as home owner, renter or investor to make educated decisions around home ownership, renting and property investments. Due to on-going debates about rent or own, buy vs. rent, affordability and tax changes — let me confront you with two observations;

 

1) People aged over 65 owning a freehold property are better off then those who don’t own a house. They can downsize to a smaller home to free up some cash to subsidize their retirement and able to pass on a roof to their kids.

 

2) Money investments of life-time renters outperform most property investments. But money is round and hard to control the direction it rolls. In retirement increasing rents and health costs have to be paid. That’s why non-house wealth is distressing.  What is your comment?
