Property Buyer Show
“In good times and bad, investment in tangible real estate has proven a sound option on almost any measure, being regarded as having higher risk and return than bonds but lower than equities, says Sandra Gordon, Pam Golding Properties senior research and market analyst, who will address The Property Buyer Show, also taking place at the Sandton Convention Centre from 27-29 October 2017.

The Property Buyer Show is aimed at first-time residential property buyers or real estate investors. The innovative exhibition layout is designed to walk buyers through the property buying process with experienced property investors and financial advisors addressing three seminar theatres focused on property investment, first-time buyers and retirement lifestyle.

The Property Buyer Show investment seminar topics include:
- How to become a property investor – the do’s and don’ts
- What do the banks REALLY consider when assessing your application for finance
- What should you consider when investing in property
- How tax can affect your property investment
- Location, location, location – Joburg’s best performing investment hot-spots
- A landlord’s guide for dealing with leases and problem tenants

The first-time buyer seminar topics include:
- The Finance Linked Individual Subsidy Programme (FLISP)
- DJ Euphonik’s top tips for getting on (and moving up) the property ladder
- Checklist for house viewings
- Financial considerations when buying your first home
- The ABC Guide of buying a home
- The price is right..? A guide to negotiating and making an offer
- Making an offer and taking transfer, your rights!

Says Pam Golding’s Sandra Gordon: “In the current environment, with heightened economic and political uncertainty both locally and abroad, and amid accompanying financial market volatility, making the right investment choices is a hot topic from boardroom discussions to casual dinner conversations. Property is often included in an investment portfolio as it has a low correlation with other assets such as bonds and equities and thus diversifies the risk in a portfolio.

Property Buyer Show conference: 27 October 2017
