All Topics / Help Needed! / Property options
Hi there,
Does anyone know anything about property options? We were thinking of implementing this as one of the investment strategies in our portfolio. We have just started off "testing the water" in the property investment world. Any comments on the risk management and returns?
Regards
Yes, heaps of posts here.

Hi Mac
Welcome to the forum. We all hope you enjoy your time here.
As Terry says, if you do a search, you'll find many posts regarding options. You'll find two main thread types for options. They are:
1. Using options to secure property, while you secure a DA and possibly do a development, or
2. Use options to buy (control) and sell property, as part of a Vendor Finance strategy.We have built our Vendor Finance business using options, instalment contracts, vendor financed mortgages and joint ventures. Risk management has improved over the years. Mainly because we've become more competent and because there is more legislation attached to the business and this has helped weed out the cowboys.
As far as returns go, Karen & I live off our business and it also supports our buy and holds. A few web resources that may help in your search for information about options and vendor finance are:
