Are you a strategic buyer or an impulsive one?

When it comes to buying property your decisions, different approaches will bring differentiation in financial outcomes. Some buyers are strategic, making calculated decisions based on research and planning, while others act on impulse, driven by emotions or external pressure.

Which type of buyer are you?

Generally, there are 2 types of buyers i the ‘Impulsive’ and the ‘Strategic’ Buyer. 

The Impulsive buyer usually will follow trends or hearsay from others and has done little to no research. He has no clear goals ahead and the ultimate aim is to just own a property. There is no existing strategy for holding or exiting whatsoever and has no plans on what is next on the table. 

A strategic buyer isn’t just looking for a quick deal — they operate with a long-term vision in mind. Whether it's planning for retirement, building passive income streams, or creating a legacy, their decisions are driven by clearly defined goals. They study the market closely, paying attention to timing, location, and economic trends, while also consulting data and professional advice to guide their choices. Strategic buyers assess their holding power, have a clear exit strategy, and carefully consider financing options to avoid over-leverage. Rather than making isolated purchases, they build a property portfolio designed to deliver consistent results, whether through capital appreciation, strong rental yields, or a mix of both.

Which one do you think fits your bill?

It’s time to invest smarter—take a moment to evaluate where you stand. Strategic buyers plan with purpose, while impulsive buyers often act on emotion. One builds long-term wealth, the other leaves outcomes to chance.
