Doubling up - an interesting property investment strategy I’ve seen mentioned in a few different places. The doubling up idea means buying twice as many properties as you want to end up with, then gradually selling off half. The doubling up idea works like this… Let’s imagine you want to end up owning five properties – mortgage free – for your retirement. Instead of starting by buying five and trying to pay the mortgages down, with this doubling up model you’d buy 10 properties and let the mortgages run.

Anyone who has ever been involved with property, regardless as a homeowner or an investor, understands that real estate has a cyclical market movement. There are various factors to be taken into consideration when you plan to buy/ sell your properties but the most important one will be the current state of the property market. This is because the timing of the market can have a major impact on your purchase price/ desired sale price.
