Does changing attitude towards

home ownership pays off?

Looking around, you will always find somebody who is already one step ahead of the crowd. If home ownership is something you are passionate about, then probably you know the potential to

· Make life better in terms of lifestyle, comfort, energy efficiency, enjoyment, health and more that a rental home won’t provide

· Take control over expenses for maintenance, repair and keeping up with changing standards and property values

· Let properties pay you back the invested money passively as capital growth and actively by utilizing free resources such as the sun energy or the land for growing eatables and recreational hobbies, pool, GYM facilities and more reducing your expenses substantially

· Pass on something you have worked for to future generation and/or make cumulating wealth to an integrated part of your retirement plan

Does home ownership make you rich?

You can sense those type of questions and the politics around home ownership for people who own a family home are not very helpful, when reading about getting rich from properties and the media hype about property sales or values.

You already know owning a home costs money, so much money that home ownership can become a life filling job. That is why it is important to adopt a different mindset, when looking at different strategies to get onto the property ladder and to fulfill your dream to raise a family in luxury of private home ownership and retire with a nest egg to cover uncertainties.

What does mindset for owning a home really mean?

Everything starts with a goal supportive mindset, planning and following through the selected home ownership strategy with discipline. Such strategy can be

· Keep renting for a fixed time and own a small investment property. That makes sense for taking all benefits such as tax refunds, cumulative equity and capital growth to push up your wealth, equity and borrowing capacity, or

· Buy an affordable property for cumulating equity and upgrade the property to a family home or rental property, when the time is right, or

· Buy a good sized property with the potential to develop step-by-step your family lifestyle home

In one of the following articles I will summarize the pros and cons for each strategy. If you can’t wait feel free and email.

After the decision of your strategy, you plan each stage in achievable steps as road map and for measuring the progress. That is important because it helps to stay on course and when ticking off your check points you will feel great satisfaction. It is entirely up to you — nobody knows where you want to be or your destiny.

But as reader of this article you are already on the right track.

Don’t be irritated by the media presenting conflicting information. Your mindset to execute your plans is just as important as what you do to complete each step. Good luck.
