It’s super easy to pass off property investing as something that’s for LATER.
Later, when you’re earning more money.
Later, when you’ve saved your fortune.
Later, when you have a better job.
Later, when you somehow magically feel a little bit more ready.
But here’s the truth: often these doubts and insecurities about investing come down to a number of MISCONCEPTIONS that people have about the reality of investing.
Because investing ISN’T just reserved for the wealthy and it’s NOT something that’s doable only for people earning 6+ figures.
At InvestHER we see it everyday – real women with real lives (kids, mortgages, normal incomes, the whole shebang) building real wealth through smart, strategic investing.
So let’s reality-check some of these myths that are likely holding you back shall we?
Myth 1: You need a 6 figure salary to invest
Reality check: You don’t.
We’ve helped SO many women who are on average Australian salaries buy their first (and sometimes even second) investment properties! Because it’s not about earning $150K+ a year. It’s about having a clear plan, budgeting properly, and choosing the RIGHT property for your goals.
Myth 2: You need to have a huge deposit saved
Reality check: You can get started with as little as a 5-10% deposit.
It’s not aaaalways the case, but there are a ton of government initiatives out there that aim to make it easier for YOU to crack into the property market. Depending on your personal situation you may be eligible for things like the first home buyers grant or lender support – just to help you get your foot in the door. Not as far away as you thought anymore hey?
Myth 3: You need to save all of the money yourself
Reality check: Most investors use equity rather than their own cash.
Equity is the investing cheat code that a lot of people forget about. Once you’ve started investing – or if you already own a home, you may be able to tap into its amassed value to help you purchase ANOTHER property. You don’t have to start from scratch every time. Once you’re in – you’re in, thanks to equity.
Myth 4: Only “wealthy” people invest
Reality check: Most of our clients are everyday women who are juggling everyday challenges just like you are.
The investing world actually isn’t full of trust fund babies or people who won tattslotto. We know first-hand that there are PLENTY of everyday Australian women with mortgages, families and a life. Their difference? They’re smart with their money, they plan ahead and they back themselves 100% to make their financial dreams a reality.
Myth 5: You have to have it all figured out before you get started
Reality check: Strategy matters WAY more than being perfect.
You don’t need to know everything when you’re first starting out. But you know what can be super helpful? A team who does. At Investher, we help you create a custom plan that works for your life, your finances, and your goals. We’re not here to overwhelm you, but rather help you get set up to start investing the right way.
So if you’re actually truly ready to start working towards the future you dream of, rather than procrastinating and using the ‘laters’ as an excuse – then let’s do it!
All you need is a little bit of strategy magic, the right people backing you and an unwavering belief that you ARE that woman. The woman who invests. The woman who takes her financial future into her own hands.
