Working as a yacht crew member can provide brilliant opportunities to invest in property. Many crew find they don’t know what to do after retiring from the industry. Without enough savings to stop working, or no clue of what the next steps could be, it can be a challenging time. Being smart with your money and taking the time to learn about property investment can lead to passive income and early retirement! At CrewFO, we strongly advise this for anyone in the industry, so continue reading to hear how we can help you do this.
Five Tips For Starting To Invest In Property
- Start early: By the end of your 2nd year of yachting, you should be looking to buy your first investment property.
- Consider seeking advice: Getting professional advice will save you lots of time and money in the long run. We are here to help.
- Be realistic: Nobody spends £400,000 on a rental property as it will make less money. £130,000 to £165,000 is plenty.
- Try to stay objective: Remember, this is an investment. You are never going to live there, so you don’t need to “love it”.
- Don’t delay: It’s easy to make excuses for not doing things. Don’t do this with property investment. The longer you wait, the less money you make.
