Property Investment For Future Financial Security

Mark Twain once said "buy land..

Mark Twain once said "buy land... they're not making it any more". He was a wise man, and he was right. The land you see is all there is, with no more to be made unless we have some active volcanoes filling up the oceans on earth, that is all we'll get. That is why property investment has always been and remains one of the best methods of letting our financial investment grow.

But the good news is there is still plenty of land to go around and as it is sold and resold again and again, it increases in value as each year goes by. What Twain probably meant was that land is such a great investment because it will always be there. It won't become devalued due to age; it won't rust away, or be exported to another country.

Buildings come and go but land remains:

You can buy a home on a single lot in any housing project or subdivision in the United Kingdom and feel confident that the plot of land will always remain for you, even if the house burns to the ground, or blows away in a storm. Those who have the money to invest will purchase large tracts of land and then subdivide it and build homes knowing that people will buy with the confidence of knowing they have made an investment in their family's future. Buying a new car is fun and practical but in a few years that automobile will have depreciated to the point that the investment is nearly gone. Recent years have seen a slowdown in land investment but as the economy recovers and fewer tenants lose their jobs or find pay cuts decreasing their worth, the dream of home ownership will strengthen and rebound.

Many countries won't sell their land:

Land has become such a valuable commodity that many countries will never relinquish title to the land a home sit on, just pass on ownership of that home or building itself. This is because the owners know that once their land is sold there most likely will not be a replacement for it. Property investment is one of the most stable ways to set aside money for the future. We often see property sales slowing down due to various economic situations around the world, but they stabilize and rebound just as soon as other factors level off.

The UK had a really harsh winter which affected the economy quite strongly, and along with the stamp duty holiday, resulted in less first time buyers of homes for a time. But one thing is for certain and that is land and property sales will always bounce back and become the stronger for it.

The buy to let programs in the UK have proven successful due to the fact the people who need assistance in becoming first time home owners have received a helping hand and have found it easier to qualify as well. Home ownership is one of the greatest gifts a family can give them self, and the most lasting as well.
