Why Property Values Rise: Understanding where to buy outperforming real estate (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781923186378)

Where you buy property is more important than what you buy or when you buy it.

If you understand why property values rise - and, in particular, why they escalate in some places more than in others - you hold the keys to the kingdom of real estate success. There are other members of the investment royal family, but location is king. Get that right, and you have a better shot at buying the right property.

You're not looking for the best house on the best street, nor the right suburb, it's the broader location that matters. This book busts real estate myths and misconceptions about where to invest and replaces them with a research-based set of key criteria. You'll learn:

• Where to find the facts about real estate markets
• How to learn from other people's mistakes
• The EMPIRICAL formula that draws on experience rather than theory
• How to interpret and leverage emerging property trends
• Potential hotspots to add to your location watchlist.

Over time, property prices do rise in most locations of substance. Why Property Values Rise reveals why they do and why some locations experience greater uplift than others.
