But so often networking gets cast aside as one of those tedious and dreadful tasks that are somehow less important than buying properties, vetting tenants, and adding value.

Get ready for interest rate hikes
With interest rates having remained suppressed for as long as they have, chances are many investors are not entirely prepared for the coming rate rises. And rise they will. There is nothing sinister or extraordinary happening. The same economic entropy that has been pushing the rates down for so long is also responsible for nudging them upwards in recent months.

How to prosper in 2017: 17 tips to become a better property investor
Fun fact, the month of January is named after the Roman god Janus. Janus had two faces - one looking backward, and the other looking forward. The ancient Romans imagined that on the 31st of December each year, Janus looked simultaneously backward to the year that was, and forward to the year that would be. And thus became the tradition of the new year's resolution when every Januar... read moreRecent Posts
