How To Use Property For Investment Purposes

How can I use property for investment purposes?

There are a number of ways in which you can use property for investment purposes. You might go out and directly purchase a property such as a buy-to-let flat, and then rent it out to make income. Alternatively you might like to invest in property funds, where a fund manager goes out and buys different properties and the returns are then passed on to you. The benefit of the second, is that it's slightly cheaper, and you don't need as much money to get in. A house these days cost quite a lot of money whereas investment funds can be from as little as £50 a month.
