What prevent you from investing in property?

- For young people, one of the biggest reason for delaying in investing is because they think they are currently doing fine with whatever they are dealing with; jobs, career, etc. They think they are earning good salary and can get more in the future so why bother investing. However, it is a misunderstanding most young people adapt to believe that the harder you work the higher you can be. Through investing, you can create wealth. Instead of setting a plan how to spend your salary, you can create more by investing.
- Another thing that can delay from investing is the feeling of being incompetent. You think you are too young to invest and you lack of confidence as well as knowledge to do so. Of course, property investing requires money, skills, and knowledge. However, you can get yourself educate before and throughout your investing journey.

You can cut down on expenditure and saving your cash in separate bank account as a start. This is such a huge step for your investment plan.
- If you think you are too messy to handle property investing then you won’t ever start. Property investment requires you to be skilled in organizing things and handling many things such as statement banks, bills, etc. however, you can always start learning step by step by organizing your finance. It is a matter of habit you can build.
- And the most common thing why people keep delaying on investing is their own fear of failure. Of course, failure is not a pleasant experience. You are afraid of losing money after investing. However, fear often comes due to lack of understanding especially of the risks of property investing. You can start with low-risk investing with little or no risk of loss of capital.
