HAVING YOUR CAKE AND EATING IT – INVESTING FOR RENTAL YIELD AND CAPITAL GROWTH

Editor's Notes

  1. PICTURE OF SOMEONE EATING A CREAM CAKE
  2. UK Page Mention both furnished, apartment in Aberdeen, house in Reading Points: Reading – small window of hih yield reward, strong correlation with price increase, finance and confidence being in place Aberdeen – higher yield rewards for a sustained period, confidence locally lower due to lower oil price. Confidence is still key, regardless of yield reward, this is the spark.
