American business mogul Warren Buffet famously said \u201cBe greedy whilst others are fearful.\u201d Whilst we wouldn\u2019t advocate all out greed, the man is the fourth richest in the world, so he must be doing something right.<\/p>\n
During these unprecedented times, investors and landlords are understandably concerned about their investments and we are no different. However, here at Sourcing Investments it\u2019s business as usual; and in our view, the situation may end up providing opportunity in the property investment sector, as investors seek to recover from losses experienced in other asset classes (with the FTSE100 sitting about 35% off its 12 month high as we write).<\/p>\n
Del Huse, COO of Sourcing Investments said: \u201cWe\u2019ve actually seen an uptake in people visiting our platform since Covid 19 has taken hold\u2026 perhaps people are looking to put their new-found spare time to good use, or are thinking about the way they are invested in what is now likely to be a sharp recession.<\/p>\n
One new investor, Mr Ellis, signed up for a 10-day free trial on Wednesday 25th March and has already found a property of interest. Michael told us: \u201cI\u2019m working from home at the moment, but have got the spare time to get my finances in order. I\u2019ve been considering somewhere reliable for my savings for some time, and I checked out Sourcing Investments using their free trial to see if there were any interesting investment properties. I\u2019ve currently bookmarked a great place in Liverpool\u2026. just down the road from Anfield. The only problem is, as a Reds fan, I might not want to let it to anyone except myself!\u201d<\/p>\n
