Strategy 4 – Buy and sell

Pros

 A simpler version of the buy, renovate and sell example above only that you don’t have to renovate. You simply buy, hold and sell for profit. This can be a great strategy in a fast upwardly moving market.

Cons

 Once again, transaction costs make this a very difficult strategy to profit from. You need your property to increase around $40,000 in value before you will even break even. This is on average one year’s capital gain. In my personal opinion, this is a strategy best avoided unless you know something about the future direction of a market that no-one else knows (sort of like ‘insider trading’ in the property market).
