There are 5 key fundamentals you really need to focus on when creating a strategy.

- Tax Benefits.

For Simon, these 5 pillars are non-negotiable. If you want your property to perform well in the long term, hone in on these 5 fundamentals and try to incorporate a strategy that enables you to achieve all 5!

There is no one size fits all when figuring out whether you should rent or buy.   Some things to consider;   - Stage of life. - Where you live. - Affordability in your market. - What's your plan for the future.   Simon has rented, invested and now bought his home.   Sometimes there is more value in delaying your gratification to set yourself up financially for the future.    Don't just do what society tells you. Make a plan, and stick to it.
