How safe are blue chip investments ?
The list of international banking crises of the last few years reads like an adventure novel, or it should be said, a horror story !
Subprime mortgage crisis in the U.S. starting in 2007
2008 United Kingdom bank rescue package
2009 United Kingdom bank rescue package
2008–2009 Belgian financial crisis
2008–2012 Icelandic financial crisis
2008–2009 Russian financial crisis
2008–2009 Ukrainian financial crisis
2008–2012 Spanish financial crisis
2008–2011 Irish banking crisis
Clearly when you invest with major banks and financial institutions the investment environment is not as stable as traditionally thought of. We regard most of these so called financial “blue chip” investment solutions as restrictive and little more than forced savings plans in a volatile institutionalized banking world. International confidence in banks and financial institutions to be able to secure your future is at an all-time low!

Residential Property investment
We will show you how investing in residential property is,
- safe
- highly tax efficient

In our experience based opinion, Buy to Let Property Investment far outstrips the returns offered by retirement annuities and stock exchange related investment products.

Yes it is best to use other peoples money. By this we mean the bank's money. By using the bank's money you will get to your financial-freedom target a lot quicker.
The basic buy to rent premise is that you use the bank's money to buy the property, and the tenant's money to pay for it. And you get to own the property and collect rental income forever!
We offer property coaching to help you get to your goal quickly while avoiding the many pitfalls that wait for new investors to fall into. [click here]
Eg: If you bought 1 unit for R 1 million and paid cash, you would get a cash return of R 8 000 is per month and you would gain value of about 10% per year ( i.e. R 100 000 wealth growth plus your rental income of R 96 000 for 12 months = R 196 000 in year 1 )
If you bought 10 units of R 600 000 each (like the Telford units in our hot deals list), put in R 100 000 on each property, your cashflow in would be approximately neutral per month in the first year and your wealth will grow by 10% per unit per year i.e. 10 times R 60 000 per year (R 600 000 growth in year 1).
Your rental income then increases in year two and bond repayments stay approximately the same. As time progresses the tenants pay off your bonds, you get increased cashflow and the benefit of a whole portfolio of properties growing in value.
Buy-to-let property investment in South Africa can be a great way to generate passive income and build wealth over time. The Gauteng province is one of the best places to invest in buy-to-let property, and the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, Midrand and Sandton are the best areas in Gauteng for buy-to-let property investment.
Why invest in buy-to-let property in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg and Sandton?
- High demand: The northern suburbs of Johannesburg and Midrand are home to a large number of businesses, corporations, and wealthy individuals. This means that there is a high demand for rental properties in these areas.
- Strong rental yields: Rental yields in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg and Sandton are some of the highest in South Africa. This means that you can generate a good return on your investment, especially if you use bond finance on your property.

If you buy a small townhouse with 100% bond finance, you can expect a shortfall of around R 1000 per month in the first year. This should decrease every year until after about 5 or 6 years, you will start earning a profit every month as rental will be higher than your monthly costs.
